Both conference finals are near even odds. Got to love that, these playoffs have been amazing and now we've got 4 teams evenly matched. The west is favored over the east of course.
I'm not playing any of the series prices, but Habs +450 to win the Stanley Cup is my favorite future. If the Habs win the East, you should be able to hedge it out in the finals.
I like Montreal in this spot getting Markov back will help, and I think that the Flyers put too much effort to get back in the boston series that they wont have enough left in the tank.
I also agree the better prop is Montreal to win the Stanley Cup.
Yes, Montreal has made a dream run, but even though the Caps and Penguins are glamor teams, they were also two of the worst defensive teams in the playoffs and the Canadiens had a huge goaltending edge over both of them. That is not the case here, even with Leighton in net.
I am more impressed with the fact that Philly got here by beating the two best defensive teams in the NHL.
