The Las Vegas betting website Bodog has made the Maple Leafs 8/1 favourites to win the Stanley Cup. It is a bit premature to be sure but it has been a long time since anyone even ventured such odds. Right behind the Leafs — who opened the season at 14/1 — is the Tampa Bay Lightning at 9/1.The Toronto Sun quoted Leafs coach Mike Babcock as sating: “All that stuff is fluff.” But he’s got to love it. The Leafs are 6-1-0 and set to play LA Kings at home Saturday.
