Bear in mind, that the goal of the bookmakers is to set a number where there should be a near equal amount of betters on each side of the action so it's not so much an exact science as it is a projection of how to split the money of the masses on each side of the wager.
We went to Bodava.lv to see what the current odds were and found few surprises. The Pens and Canucks are favored to face off in the finals, with Pittsburgh having a slight edge.
Some of the individual first round series have some fairly large numbers with the Rangers and Bruins being the most heavily favored.
