Trainer Bob Baffert is feeling pretty good about the chances of his latest Kentucky Derby contender Martin Frk Jersey , Justify, despite the horse’s lack of experience on the track.Baffert told “PodcastOne Sports Now” co-hosts Jim Litke and Tim Dahlberg that Justify – the early favorite for Saturday’s race – should be fine despite having only run three races in his life. Baffert said Justify has shown an ability to adjust quickly to race conditions, and he expects that to continue in the Derby.Baffert is seeking his fifth Derby win with Justify, which won the Santa Anita Derby last month. The horse will be trying to become the first to win the Kentucky Derby after not racing as a 2-year-old since Apollo turned the trick in 1882.One thing Baffert doesn’t want to see during Derby week, though, is an animal of another kind. Baffert says he has a thing about black cats, and hopes one doesn’t cross his path in Louisville.AP basketball writer Brian Mahoney joins the hosts to talk about NBA playoffs, and Dahlberg discusses the Vegas Golden Knights and the scene in Las Vegas for the NHL playoffs.And, of course, there’s some talk about food in the newly renamed Podcast One Sports Now show, backed by the worldwide reach of The Associated Press sports department. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been a model of consistency under head coach Jon Cooper, reaching the playoffs in four of the past five years - making it to the Eastern Conference Final in 2015 http://www.officialredwings.com/authentic-adidas-mike-green-jersey , 2016 and 2018.Injuries to key players killed their playoff dreams in 2016-17, but the Lightning rebounded with a 54-23-5 record. Their 113 points were tops in the East (third overall in the NHL), and the Bolts fell just one game shy of reaching the Stanley Cup Final - losing to Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.It was a heartbreaking end to a great season in Tampa Bay, but they have unfinished business in 2018-19. And when all is said and done, the Lightning will be hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2019.advertisingNikita Kucherov was rewarded with a shiny eight-year extension worth $76 million. Coming off a 100-point season, he and world class star聽Steven Stamkos聽front an offense that led the entire league with 296 goals for last season. But it's not Kucherov and Stamkos alone that drive the engine.

These are two great skaters and play-makers that fit Cooper's system perfectly.Defenceman Victor Hedman is coming off his first Norris Trophy season, scoring 17 goals and 63 points. With Ryan McDonagh skating alongside Hedman, Tampa might have the best defensive pairing in the league.advertisingMikhail Sergachev figures to take it to another level after a strong rookie season Nick Jensen Jersey , while Tyler Johnson and Dan Girardi supply key depth on offense and defense, respectively.Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy shined in his first full season as the starter, going 44-17-3 with eight shutouts, a .920 save percentage and a 2.62 goals against average. He was excellent in the postseason as well, so the Lightning won't have to worry about lacking a 'money' goalie.Tampa Bay simply has a deeper roster than any team not named the Nashville Predators. Yes, the Winnipeg Jets are going to be dangerous as well, but the Lightning have a superior defensive unit. The Jets just don't have that Norris Trophy guy聽like Tampa has in Hedman.advertisingEven the Predators - who won the Presidents' Trophy last year-聽 have a problem of their own. Vezina Trophy winner Pekka Rinne was awful in the playoffs, sporting a .904 save percentage and .307 goals against average. He was pulled multiple times in the playoffs. You simply would have to give Tampa the edge over Nashville, if they were to face off in the Stanley Cup Final. Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsIn the Eastern Conference, the Lightning will have their challengers. But none of them can match Tampa when it comes to defense, goaltending, speed Thomas Vanek Jersey , all-around skill and resiliency.The Pittsburgh Penguins don't anything to offer on defense. Goalie Matt Murray has to show his two Stanley Cup rings weren't flukes. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel are all a year older. The lack of scoring depth in Pittsburgh was exposed by Washington, who beat the Pens in the second round of the playoffs.advertisingThe Boston Bruins put up very little fight against Tampa, who easily distinguished them in the second round. Tuukka Rask has yet to show he's money in the playoffs. Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron will have tough times scoring 70-plus points again. Defenceman Torey Krug is out three weeks with a foot injury. Expect regression in Boston.Sure, the Toronto Maple Leafs won the John Tavares sweepstakes. He, Nazem Kadri, Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitch Marner can go up against Tampa's top forwards, no problem. But don't even try comparing Toronto's horrid defensive group to Tampa's. It's not even close. The Maple Leafs need to fix that play in their own end, then we can put them in the same tier as Tampa.advertising Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsThen we move to the Capitals, who notably took down the Lightning in a thrilling seven-game series. Now, let's just say Washington got hot at the right time Womens Adam Larsson Jersey , which is why they beat a superior Tampa squad. It's as simple as that.Washington doesn't have the same group of blueliners to match Tampa's, and they rely too much on the duo of Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. Can Braden Holtby really put on another sensational performance against the Lightning? Easier said than done.The three factors go into my prediction of Tampa winning the Stanley Cup. The first is obviously just how much talent, star power and depth they carry in each position. The second is the fact no other team in the East can match them in all three phases. And finally, the third is they're experience, hence the aforementioned three trips to the Eastern Conference Finals over the last four years.advertisingOvechkin finally won his Stanley Cup after a decade of constant playoff meltdowns from the Capitals. For Stamkos, Hedman and Kucherov, it's their turn to get over the postseason shortcomings.When all is said and done, the Lightning will defeat the Winnipeg Jets in seven games to win the Stanley Cup.
