Norweigans? Could I possibly have meant Swedes? What was I thinking? Anything? We don’t want no…

So it’s 21 to 1 against it being Pens vs Hawks for the Cup? (Clearly I never did understand all those numbers and + and -. And now what’s this * mean? No, never mind, I’ll never get it.)

Going to have the handicapping contest again?

Bob – see my July 24th article “2010 Olympics: Early Odds”

http://illegalcurve.com/2009/07/24/2010-olympics-early-odds/

Norweigans? Pens vs. Hawks final – take the odds of the pens to win the east and multiply it by the odds of the hawks to win the west.

Pit +300 (4.0), Chi +450 (5.5) … 4*5.5 = 22.0 or 21/1

Also, I’m going with a Pens vs Hawks final with the Pens taking it in six. Odds against that must be pretty high with the difficulty of repeating and the “wing Factor” and all.

Ari — any odds out on the Olympic hockey?

If they give odds for “medaling” I’d put a loonie or two on the Finns and Norweigans.
