200 to 1. Those are the odds the New Jersey Devils were given to win the Stanley Cup this season. Despite having a very good goaltender, an increasingly great top six and a history of winning, Vegas oddsmakers say every team either has better odds, or are equally as bad a bet as the Devils.
The odds for the Devils are four times worse than Buster Douglas got when he fought Mike Tyson. The Pittsburgh Pirates, who are right now three games under .500, have much better odds to win the World Series than the Devils have to win the Stanley Cup.
