BOLDY PREDICTIONS (4.23.25): The Stars align, the Wild show their underdog worth and McDavid’s a menace
On Monday’s episode of THE WINDOW Podcast, Matt Russell (@mrussauthentic on X) looks at the eight Stanley Cup Playoff games on Monday and Tuesday.
The Stars-Avalanche series continues to be a fascinating betting market, while Game 1 of Oilers and Kings provides more questions than answers.
The Senators’ lack of experience has killed them early in Toronto (a city blissfully unaware of what a Tailgate actually is), but will that and a goaltending disadvantage flip back in Canada’s capital?
The Lightning lose 6-2, but like other lopsided Game 1s, was it really that bad?
The Wild save an otherwise annoying Tuesday, with a big upset win that we saw coming, as Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov come through in Vegas.
How the Habs can steal one in Washington, why we’re taking one shot with the Blues against the Jets, and there’s nothing left to do with Carolina-New Jersey but sit and wait.
Lastly, in a podcast-only feature, Matt looks back at Monday’s bets in the Conn Smythe markets, and how the market’s adjusted to us jumping on Adin Hill at 500-1, and other moves on key players we found value on.
It’s time to head to THE WINDOW, let’s go!
