1. The Golden Knights are headed to the Stanley Cup and Las Vegas bookmakers are very nervous.
Before the season started, the expansion franchise was anywhere from 100-1 to 500-1 to win the Cup. Those odds did not scare off a decent amount of locals to put money down on the impossible. So now, a Golden Knights victory in the Finals would cost Sin City bookmakers anywhere from $5 million to $6 million.
Vegas already took a bath on the Knights during the regular season with NHL bettors placing wagers on the home club 15 times more often than any other team in the league.
