If there is one word to describe this NHL season, it is 'unpredictable' and that is exactly what punters can expect in the Stanley Cup Finals which are fast approaching.

Nothing could have been more unpredictable than finding two teams in the finals who haven't been in this position in over 15 years.  But there you have it: Both the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins are dying to break the drought and hold the trophy high.

The Canucks last saw the Stanley Cup finals in 1994 when they lost to the New York Rangers, and they are willing to do anything to avenge that loss.

The Boston Bruins have been without a cup since 1972 and last reached the finals in 1990.

Bodog offers odds on Stanley Cup Finals

Bodog, of course, has been in on the action from Day 1 and it is offering odds for the finals of the Stanley Cup which are soon coming up.

For Game One, Bodog has offered odds of -200 that the Vancouver Canucks will win the match since they enjoy home ice advantage.

In fact, Bodog believes that the Canucks have a good shot of winning the finals overall, and has posted odds of -235 that this will be the case.

However, nobody should ignore the passion and determination of the Boston Bruins which got them this far in the competition. The team took home the Northeast Division title with 103 points, beating Tampa Bay Lightening, as well as the previous season's Eastern Conference Finalists.

So while Bodog's expert oddsmakers may offer their opinion on the Stanley Cup Finals, nothing about this competition has been predictable thus far, and with all the upsets, comebacks and rallies that have taken place, nobody should be surprised if the underdog wins!
