Tampa Bay, Vegas, Toronto, and Boston make up the top four favorites to win the Stanley Cup, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Yet, they announced on Twitter that the New Jersey Devils, at +2700, have the most bets to take home Lord Stanley in June, with 29% of all bets being placed on New Jersey. This shows a massive shift in national attention on the Devils.
We know what the reputation of the Devils has been for years now. An old, boring, defensive-minded team that nobody wanted to watch. To be fair, it was hard for even Devils fans to watch when the team was putting out the likes of Tyler Kennedy and Reid Boucher in top-six roles.
