The way this off-season went in Boston, it seemed that pundits and hockey fans alike wrote off the Bruins’ chances for success in the 2015-16 season. It’s true that the Black and Gold may not be one of the elite teams in the NHL this year, but the sports betting community sees things differently.
Despite missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since the 2006-07 campaign, Bodog.eu still lists the Bruins chances of winning the Stanley Cup at 25:1. To put that in perspective, those odds are higher than the Jets (28:1), Flames (28:1), Senators (40:1) and Canucks (66:1) — all playoff teams a year ago.
