In this week’s episode of THE WINDOW: Sports betting podcast, Matt Russell (@mrussauthentic) looks back at games 3 and 4 of a Stanley Cup Final that continues to be as tightly played as possible.
Mitch Marner’s hat-trick and Shea Theodore’s bank shot gave Vegas the lead, but the Hurricanes tied the series back up on the strength of the continued production of an unlikely source, and (despite?) a change in goal.
Matt digs into the complexity around the Frederik Andersen situation, Carter Hart’s struggles through four games, and which team’s got a bigger issue in net going forward for a matchup that’s been almost equal at even-strength.

Then, Matt looks at history when digging into the two big stories in the Conn Smythe betting market:
Mitch Marner has shorter odds to win the playoff MVP than his team has to win the Stanley Cup, but can he win it in a losing cause? Is there a similar example where a player has been snubbed with the same comparative resume?
Jordan Staal has FIVE goals in the Stanley Cup Final, but just two in the rest of the playoffs. Can a non-team-leader with so few points win the Conn Smythe?
It’s time to head to THE WINDOW, let’s go!
