Detroit Red Wings - 7/2 (10/3 in August 2008)
San Jose Sharks - 7/2 (9/1)
Boston Bruins - 11/2 (30/1)

If you like to play, there might some good money to be won...

wow how the might have fallen, referring to montreal now at 45 to 1 odds as opposed to 10 to 1 as they were before, would get more assurances with betting on St. Louis rather than Montreal.

I'll put a 20 on Columbus at that rate.

Hmmm. You want to do that, do you? Maybe the 504Heater Betting Shop will open.

ill raise you twenty

Count me in on the Columbus sweepstakes!

I might even consider slapping down another $20 on Anaheim as well...

Just a hunch, but SO much rides on the goaltending.
