They're no Pittsburgh Penguins, but I have to say that having 16/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup is more than quite a few folks would expect for the Blues. It's exactly the same odds as the Detroit Red Wings' and the Boston Bruins'.
From Bovada.lv:
Odds to win the 2013 Stanley Cup
- Pittsburgh Penguins 8/1
- New York Rangers 17/2
- Vancouver Canucks 9/1
- Los Angeles Kings 12/1
- Philadelphia Flyers 12/1
- Chicago Blackhawks 14/1
- Boston Bruins 16/1
- Detroit Red Wings 16/1
- St. Louis Blues 16/1
- Minnesota Wild 18/1
- San Jose Sharks 20/1
- Carolina Hurricanes 22/1
- Washington Capitals 22/1
- Buffalo Sabres 25/1
- Edmonton Oilers 25/1
- Nashville Predators 28/1
- Tampa Bay Lightning 28/1
- Montreal Canadiens 30/1
- New Jersey Devils 30/1
- Toronto Maple Leafs 30/1
- Anaheim Ducks 40/1
- Colorado Avalanche 40/1
- Dallas Stars 40/1
- Florida Panthers 40/1
- Ottawa Senators 40/1
- Phoenix Coyotes 40/1
- Calgary Flames 50/1
- Winnipeg Jets 50/1
- New York Islanders 66/1
- Columbus Blue Jackets 100/1
Aw, wow. Phoenix is 40/1 with the Minnesota Wild are 18/1? I guess getting to the Western Conference Finals doesn't count for much. Speaking of the Western Conference, here're the odds for it:
Odds to win the 2013 NHL Western Conference
- Vancouver Canucks 9/2
- Chicago Blackhawks 6/1
- Los Angeles Kings 6/1
- St. Louis Blues 7/1
- Detroit Red Wings 15/2
- Minnesota Wild 9/1
- San Jose Sharks 12/1
- Edmonton Oilers 14/1
- Nashville Predators 14/1
- Anaheim Ducks 18/1
-
Dallas Stars
20/1 - Phoenix Coyotes 20/1
- Colorado Avalanche 22/1
- Calgary Flames 28/1
- Columbus Blue Jackets 50/1
I'm not sure if Bovada means as far as regular season record "winning the conference" or "making it to the Western Conference Finals and winning" winning the conference. Considering that the Canucks are at the top, I'll assume the former.
