\nOpen Season Odds: 10\/1: Current Odds: 4\/1 – The Capitals have been criticized for their seemingly disinterested play of late. They are still the favorite based on their # one ranked special teams. Will goaltending be an issue?<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 10\/1: Current: 9\/2 \u2013 Seem to have gotten their slump out of the way. San Jose is renowned for their playoff collapses in the past. They are still the best team in an ultra-competitive Western Conference. They could go a long way this year for sure.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 7\/1: Current:\u00a0 5\/1 – They have the skill, the goaltending and now they have the experience of a Stanley Cup win. It is hard to think that they will lose a seven games series against anyone except for New Jersey who swept the regular season series.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 12\/1: Current:\u00a0 5\/1 – Fourth favorite based on their incredible regular season. Goaltending which is essential in the playoffs is suddenly a major concern and the loss of Brian Campbell on defense appears to be more of an issue that most would have thought. If I`m a Chicago fan, I`m nervous!<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 30\/1: Current: 10\/1 – When looking at the roster, it is hard to believe that they are so high on the list. They do have the best goaltender on the planet. Look what New Jersey has been able to do in post season`s past with Martin Brodeur and be excited if you are a Sabres fan.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 15\/1: Current: 10\/1 \u2013 With the acquisition of Ilya Kovalchuk earlier this season, the Devils became legit. If Martin Brodeur can get back to form, the Devils could emerge as the Eastern Conference representative in this year`s final.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 15\/1: Current: 10\/1 \u2013 Question marks in goal \u2013 Luongo is not playing up to speed. A possible first round matchup with Detroit is a nightmare for the Canucks. Lots of offense on the team, but the Canucks have to get better play from the defense.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 6\/1: Current: 12\/1 – The hottest team on the planet right now. The Wings are back and should be a major player in this year`s playoffs. A Western Conference Final appearance is a realistic goal.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 75\/1: Current: 15\/1 \u2013 Inexperience in the BIG game might be the Coyotes downfall. The Coyotes might just be happy to be in the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 60\/1: Current: 20\/1 \u2013 Another upstart team that will be facing a top three seed in the first round. They might make it miserable for their eventual combatant, but an early exit is imminent. They appear to be a year or two away from serious Stanley Cup consideration.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 75\/1: Current:\u00a0 25\/1 \u2013 Late season slump has exposed the Avs. They still are not guaranteed a playoff spot and if they gain one, a fatigue factor could creep into their psyche. They will face either San Jose, Chicago or Vancouver in the first round \u2013 a tough task for any team. <\/p>\n
\nOpen: 35\/1: Current:\u00a0 25\/1 \u2013 As streaky as they come in the NHL. A winning streak in the playoffs could propel the Sens a long way. But the inevitable losing streak makes them a longshot to hoist the Cup.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 15\/1: Current: 30\/1 \u2013 Still not guarantees a playoff spot. Without quality goaltending or Jeff Carter, Philadelphia will be a first round casualty \u2013 if they make the post season.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 40\/1: Current: 35\/1 \u2013 Deep sleeper to go far into the playoffs. Stanley Cup is unlikely though. Good goaltending but not enough fire power.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 9\/1 Current: 40\/1 \u2013 30th<\/sup> ranked offense in the league will likely face Washington, New Jersey, Buffalo or Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs. A daunting task for a team that doesn`t even look like they want the playoff spot.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 18\/1: Current: 40\/1 \u2013 Peaking at the right time but don`t appear to be a threat to one of the top three seeds in the Western Conference. They have been playing playoff type hockey for a month and fatigue might be their undoing \u2013 IF they make the post-season of course.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 25\/1: Current: 40\/1 \u2013 Not getting a lot of love from the oddsmakers but the Canadiens have been playing good hockey recently. Jaroslav Halak is the real deal and could carry the Habs past the first round or even two in the playoffs. A Cup win is unlikely however.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 50\/1: Current: 100\/1 \u2013 The fact that they are still in the playoff hunt is a miracle unto itself. If they make the playoffs (increasingly unlikely), they will be an early round casualty.<\/p>\n
\nOpen: 25\/1: Current: 100\/1 \u2013 Late season push may gain them a playoff spot. That`s as far as they go however.<\/p>\nFavorites<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
