40 to 1 Odds? I Like a Long Shot.....

I should be grinding some meat for a meatloaf right now.... but Game 6 of the Coyotes/Blackhawks game is on and well, it made me miss hockey... And now that the lockout is FINALLY over, it's time to start talking about the Stanley Cup.
Yes, the Cup. Already. Since over half the season is gone, it's like we're immediately jumping into the playoffs. With so few games to actually play before playoff season, it's anybody's Cup. But we all know who my money's on. And everyone knows I love a long shot.
Apparently, the Coyotes have 40 to 1 odds at winning the Cup. What were our odds last year? And look what we overcome. Top four baby! TOP FOUR. That was better than anyone thought. And they still wanna hate on us, and give us 40 to 1 odds? I call bullshit. We have just as much chance as the Stanley Cup CHUMPs, the Kings. 
Oh, why you ask? Why do I think that we can win it? Well.... It's called being a team. And the Coyotes are everything a team should be. They've been waiting patiently through this whole lockout, priming themselves. They're still going to have that momentum they had in the playoffs. They had a taste of greatness, and they're thirsty. They just got home from a long day of work, and they're gonna take the cold one outta the fridge and chug it down. This is their Cup. And I think it would have been short season or not. We felt it last year. We were right on the edge.

40 to 1 odds? Lemme tell you about 40 to 1 odds. My soon to Father in Law made a 50 cent bet on a Pick 4 at Del Mar. 3,3,4,3. The 3 horse wins, the 3 horse wins, the 4 horse wins.... and it comes to this last race. We look at the odds for the 3 horse. 40 to 1. We thought he had lost his Pick 4 for sure. We all stood at our seats as the race started. Tension. Hope. Despair. All wrapped up in that tiny little space. It's the homestretch. The last turn and here they come. The 3 horse is in DEAD LAST.... Our hope falters, and then.... out of NOWHERE, that 3 horse shoots from the back and blows past all the other horse on the outside and wins the race.

40 to 1 odds? Tell that to the man who bet 50 cents and made over $4000.

Yeah... I like them odds.
