The Avs made it in at 90 points for the last spot last year. This is basically a bet on them making it.

Right. Why is that so crazy to some? This team has improved far beyond the personnel they had last year, and they only missed, then, by 6 points. This is an easy bet to play the over here. This team should finish somewhere between 95-105 points, IMO. I think there's about a 1% chance they finish sub 90 points.

90 points is like 41-33-8. 40-32-10. That's not anything crazy.

Well, I wouldn’t bet on the under either. I think it’s definitely possible they make it. If it’s 99%, that’s big bet territory, $500 or more. Pessimism would be betting the under.

This is not really true. In the Hawks case, changing systems is reversing instincts that have been in place for close to a decade. Again, the half second delay in decision making is the difference between a goal against and the man being covered.

there was like 4 guys who have been here for a decade and they all had career years besides seabrook the systems argument is so overblown. the roster sucked to start the year and continuously got better. these guys play different systems all of the time, their whole lives and sometimes mid season.

anyone else thinks Lehner will be our starter by December?? meaning he is the guy getting all the big matchups/games..and Crow getting the 20-25 starts back up role..

Yeah that’s kind of what I’m expecting, if not even sooner than that. I could see it being a 70/30 split.

I wish I knew why so many people seemed to struggle to read on here. I haven't seen a single person claiming they're favorites for the Cup or something.

I'm confident they're improved to the point they're a playoff team. Apparently that's too much for some pessimists to handle.

vegas has them at 90.5 that could be in and could be out. are they pessimists?

It's not at all and you are missing the point. It was blatantly obvious that the systems change was a struggle for a lot of the guys on the team.

i dont doubt that but its also because a lot of the guys on the roster at that point were not any good.

I thought it was obvious that a lot of players just aren't that good. Brandon Davidson, Brandon Manning, Seabrook, Forsling, Dahlstrom, these guys just can't play.

maybe your wording it wrong because your saying guys have been on the team for a decade but then talking about other players. who was struggling with the change in your opinion?

And honestly when we're talking about the guys that played under Q for a decade thats Toews and Kane (who had great years) and Seabrook and Keith. Seabrook wasn't bad because of a new system.

And? I'm confident that they're a playoff team. That's all that sentence says. This team finished with 84 points last year... Vegas thinks with all the improvements, they're only 3 wins better. C'mon. Vegas is in the business of making money. They set things like this based upon what they feel is the safest way to make money whether people bet the over or the under... They're doing their best to make it a no-lose situation for themselves. Nothing more.

Manning is just bad but he was traded early so he is a bad example for you. Davidson played 3 games...

Being an Illinois fan. For years I've watched Illinois fans talk about how much better the team will be because of XYZ while the rest of the national media says the opposite. Then everyone acts so surprised when Illinois isn't good again. Sometimes looking outside of our little Hawks bubble is useful.
