With the Stanley Cup playoffs just two days away, it looks like us at Second City Hockey aren’t the only ones who like the Hawks chances to win the Cup. According to Bodog, the Chicago Blackhawks have emerged as early betting favorites to hoist Lord Stanley this season, for their fourth Stanley Cup in eight years.
With 4/1 odds on the board, the Hawks sit just ahead of the Washington Capitals (9/2), who have lingered at the top of the board throughout the season.
The Blackhawks’ first-round opponent, the Nashville Predators, sit towards the bottom of the futures board at 25/1, along with the Calgary Flames, Boston Bruins, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
