The good people at online sports book Bovada have posted their odds to win the 2012 Stanley Cup, and here they are:
Pittsburgh Penguins -- 4/1
New York Rangers -- 11/2
Vancouver Canucks -- 11/2
St. Louis Blues -- 15/2
Boston Bruins -- 8/1
Detroit Red Wings -- 12/1
Nashville Predators -- 14/1
Philadelphia Flyers -- 14/1
Chicago Blackhawks -- 16/1
San Jose Sharks -- 18/1
Los Angeles Kings -- 20/1
New Jersey Devils -- 25/1
Washington Capitals -- 30/1
Florida Panthers -- 35/1
Ottawa Senators -- 40/1
Phoenix Coyotes -- 40/1
For what it’s worth, if I had to spend $100 on one team, I’d take Chicago. Nobody would be shocked if the Blackhawks won the Cup, and with $1,600 I could finally afford Botox.
