Going to jinx us right now.
Got our boys to win the cup at +1500 late in 2014, put 400$ on it. Hoping we can at least make the conference finals so I can hedge for some profit.
Of course that was probably the kiss of death.
1994- one of the greatest years!

Rangers lead the series 1-0 :clap::clap:
NEW YORK (AP) Derick Brassard and Ryan McDonough scored in the first period and Henrik Lundqvist made the goals stand up as the New York Rangers won the opener of their playoff series with the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 Thursday night.
New York shut down Pittsburgh's top threats, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, for a fourth straight victory over the Penguins in the postseason. The Rangers won the final three games of a second-round series last year, rallying from a 3-1 deficit.
In compiling the best record in the NHL, the Rangers finished 15 points ahead of Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference. But after the first period, these were two very even teams, with Lundqvist and Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury particularly outstanding. Lundqvist finished with 24 saves, while Fleury was far busier in making 36.
Blake Comeau scored in the second period for Pittsburgh.
Game 2 is in New York on Saturday night.

NEW YORK (AP) The New York Rangers used Carl Hagelin's overtime goal and spectacular goaltending by Henrik Lundqvist for a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh on Friday night to advance in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Hagelin skated out from behind the net and put a wrist shot on the short side behind Marc-Andre Fleury, who was equally as brilliant as Lundqvist. Hagelin's teammates stormed off the bench, while Fleury lay on the ice, despondent.
The Rangers, who got all four wins in the series by the same score, will play the winner of the Washington-New York Islanders series, which the Capitals lead 3-2.
New York also won Game 4 in Pittsburgh by the same score on Kevin Hayes' OT goal, on which Hagelin assisted.
Lundqvist made 37 saves in Game 5, including a nifty stop on Brandon Sutter in the extra session that was wide open, a bit sloppy, but very entertaining.
The Rangers had the NHL's best record, finishing 15 points ahead of the Penguins in winning the Presidents' Trophy. But they were pushed all series by Pittsburgh, a team they had never beaten in the playoffs until storming back from a 3-1 deficit last year in the second round.
New York's problematic power play opened the scoring. Dan Boyle's weak shot from the point fooled Fleury, who knocked it down - directly to Derek Stepan in front of him. Stepan put home a tap-in just 3:23 in.
Moments later, on Pittsburgh power play, Lundqvist made a brilliant save on Evgeni Malkin. Lundqvist also was fortunate that Nick Spaling's deflection that got through the goalie trickled wide.
Fleury was just as strong at the other end after the early goal. He stuck out his glove to thwart a deflection by J.T. Miller that was ticketed for the net.
Both goalies kept up the stinginess in the second period. Whether it was Fleury denying Derick Brassard on successive shots, then making two saves while down on the ice, or Lundqvist making outstanding stops against Paul Martin, Brian Dumoulin and Patrick Hornqvist , the session belonged to the netminders.
Until Spaling tied it on a weird goal. Sidney Crosby centered from the side of the net and the puck bounced in the air with traffic in the crease. It went in off Spaling's arm, making it 1-1.
Crosby, who drew a penalty - and the Garden fans' ire - when he flopped over behind the net while trying to work the puck loose from Dan Girardi, hit the right goal post on that power play. Crosby was loudly booed the rest of the night whenever he touched the puck.
Moments later, it was the Rangers' turn to hit iron when Miller's steal led to his shot caroming off the crossbar. Then Boyle was robbed by Fleury's pad on a backhander before missing an unguarded net off Miller's feed seconds later.
And it was on to overtime.
Notes: Rangers F Mats Zuccarello left in the first period with an undisclosed injury. He appeared woozy as he slowly skated to the bench. ... Pittsburgh was 2 for 13 on power plays in the series, the Rangers went 3 for 20.
