A 3-2 series lead has Bruins fans anticipating a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals, but the oddsmakers aren't jumping to any conclusions just yet.
The Bruins currently have 2-to-1 odds on Bodog.net to win the Stanley Cup — the same odds they had after taking a 2-1 lead after Game 3.
The oddsmakers, though, like the Lightning a bit less now, with their odds currently sitting at 9-to-1.
The Sharks, trailing 3-1 in their series, have plummeted to 20-to-1 odds (not a bad time to hop on the Sharks bandwagon if you believe an injured Joe Thornton can lead them on a remarkable comeback), while the Canucks are now given 10-to-17 odds of winning the Stanley Cup.
Check out teams' current odds below, as well as the odds from before the series started.
| Team | Odds to win Stanley Cup at start of conference finals | Current Odds to win Stanley Cup |
|---|---|---|
| Bruins | 5-to-2 | 2-to-1 |
| Canucks | 17-to-10 | 10-to-17 |
| Lightning | 7-to-2 | 9-to-1 |
| Sharks | 3-to-1 | 20-to-1 |
Bodog's odds are reported as fractional odds. For example, if the Bruins' odds of winning the Stanley Cup are 2-to-1, a wager of $1 will result in a win of $2.
