The team with the best odds to win in 2012-13, according to the gambling website bodog.ca, is the Pittsburgh Penguins with 7/1 odds.

Right...let the offseason begin. I saw this in the paper this am. I thin The rangers are 2nd choice. Someone should save these figures, and next June see how accurate this was.
Leafs rated higher than Habs?

Oh Pulllleeasse! If there is a season the Pens will finish 4th, like they always do, and may actually get out of the first round, but Stanley Cup? A lot of stars would have to align before that would happen.

Toronto has 35/1 odds??? It just goes to show that Vegas oddsmakers know nothing about the NHL.

I tried a twelve step program but I just ended up on the second floor.
Canuck eh?

I refuse to stop. I will always do this, if for no other reason than the delightful reactions.
So I will continue to give newspaper subscriptions as gifts, because there is "No Present like The Times". Or use the same to put wet shoes on, because "These are The Times that dry men's soles"
And I apologise for none of it

I agree with this, and I do take issue with the underdog call also.
8 seed indeed, but they were picked early on by some people, and just underacheived all season.

am I the only one here that feels that Toronto being at 35 to 1 is really only put to stimulate some betting action in the world's biggest hockey market? Ridiculous.

that's because everybody likes the frontrunners. I would never have put Vancouver in the finals, that's for sure.
