The NHL playoffs begin tonight with three games on the schedule. Since I don't have a favorite hockey team, Hot Clicks is officially rooting for the L.A. Kings to repeat because of this tweet by forward Dustin Penner. The Kings are 14 to 1 to win the Cup, according to Bovada.lv, which has all your NHL playoff odds. I've highlighted some of the more interesting prop bets below.

The Hot Clicks Podcast
If you're into very inside media stories or if you just want to hear me squirm, you will enjoy the newest podcast. Earlier today I went very meta and interviewed my boss, Paul Fichtenbaum, the Editor of the Time Inc. Sports Group. We talked about this week's Sports Illustrated's story written by Jason Collins, the six-year anniversary of Hot Clicks, the challenges of the magazine business in 2013 and more. I even asked for a raise and a promotion. You can listen to the podcast below or download it to your mp3 player or download it on iTunes.
