The Tampa Bay Lightning have barely been Stanley Cup Champions and we are already looking ahead to next year. And we don’t even know when that will begin. But days after the Lightning won their first since 2004, we already have the odds for the next playoffs. And for the Flyers, they are once again favored among the best in the league.
The team comes in with the fifth-best shot at taking home the Stanley Cup. It’s clear the oddsmakers saw this team’s prowess at the end of the regular season. And no doubt they took into account the Flyers storming through the round-robin to capture to Eastern Conference number one seed.
