Pick
I’m backing the Kraken here. Not a lovely price with Seattle but I’ve learned with the Blues, who continue to be the streakiest team I’ve ever seen, that you ride the streak they’re on until it flips the other way and the Blues keep finding ways to lose hockey games right now, so until we see otherwise, I’m going to continue riding St. Louis’ fade train. Give me the Kraken.
