The 2007 Stanley Cup betting odds are available throughout the NHL season and Bodog.com offers their players future wagers on who will win the Stanley Cup championship title. The Stanley Cup is the oldest trophy competed for by professional athletes in North America and Canada. The National Hockey League (NHL) awards the Stanley Cup to the playoff tournament champion.
The Stanley Cup is commonly referred to as simply "The Cup", "The Holy Grail" or facetiously (chiefly by sportswriters) as "Lord Stanley's Mug". It is one of the most-recognized symbols in North American sports and is at the center of several legends and superstitions. Unlike the trophies awarded by the NFL, NBA and MLB, a new Stanley Cup is never made annually; the Cup winners only keep it until the new champion is crowned. It is also the only trophy in professional sports that has the name of the winning players, coaches, management, and club staff engraved upon it. Bet on the Buffalo Sabres at 3/1 odds (bet $10 to win $30) to win the 2007 Stanley Cup!
Henri "The Pocket Rocket" Richard of the Montreal Canadiens is the player who has won the most Stanley Cup championships, with 11. Two other Canadiens players, Jean Beliveau and Yvan Cournoyer, are each on the Cup 10 times. The first U.S. citizen to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup is John Sherf of Calumet, MI. He played with the Detroit Red Wings in the 1936 Stanley Cup Finals when they defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bet on the Anaheim Ducks at 5/1 odds (bet $10 to win $50) to win the 2007 Stanley Cup!
There are a total of three Cups that exist; the original bowl, which is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario; a duplicate, which is the one awarded to the champions of the playoffs and used for promotions; and a replica that is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame when the playoff Cup is traveling.
The Carolina Hurricanes are the current Stanley Cup champions, but are not one of the favorites to win the 2007 Stanley Cup Championship Title. The Buffalo Sabres are the favorite with 3/1 odds. The Anaheim Ducks are next with 5/1 odds followed by the San Jose Sharks at 6/1 odds. The Nashville Predators are among the top posting 7/1 odds.
