  Panthers went from -3000 odds to win the Stanley Cup to flipping coins in 9 days

  Here’s how the Panthers’ odds of winning the Stanley Cup have changed since the Stanley Cup Finals started:

  Before Game 1: -130 (bet $130 to win $100)

  Before game 2: -250

  Before game 3: -550

  Before game 4: -3000

  Before game 5: -1200

  Before game 6: -350

  Before Game 7: -110

  When the Oilers and Panthers started Game 4 on June 15, Florida led the series 3-0 and you would have had to bet $3,000 to win $100. The implied probability of a win among -3000 favorites is 96.7%, which seemed low for a team leading 3-0 in a play-off series.

  When the Stanley Cup odds for the season were first released, the Panthers were +1800 to win it all. When the playoffs started, they were +700. There wasn’t a lot of confidence in the Panthers – only 4.6% of bets were on Florida winning it all – but those with Panthers tickets must have been feeling really good about it after Florida won 3-0. And now those bets are 50/50. The Oilers and Panthers have matching odds of -110 to win Game 7 at BetMGM.

  If the Stanley Cup were decided solely by fan count, we would have a clear winner (small sample size!).

  Home ice advantage? Maybe not for the Panthers.

  Oilers, Panthers ready for historic Game 7: ‘It’s no ordinary game’

  Either the Edmonton Oilers or the Florida Panthers will win the Stanley Cup on Monday night after Game 7 (8 p.m. ET; ABC). It will be a historic achievement regardless of the outcome: a first-ever championship for the Panthers or a complete comeback for the Oilers, who haven’t been seen in the Stanley Cup Final since 1942.

  The Oilers have already made history. They are the first NHL team since the 1944-45 Detroit Red Wings to fall behind 3-0 in the Cup Final and force a Game 7. If they win Monday night, they will join the 1941-42 Toronto Maple Leafs as the only teams to finish. the job.

  “It’s not an ordinary game, everyone understands that, but you have to make it as normal as possible in your mind,” Oilers captain Connor McDavid said Sunday. “Our chamber has done a great job of being at our best in these big moments, and I wouldn’t have expected anything less.”

  After the Panthers’ 4-3 victory in Game 3, it appeared that Florida would ultimately be crowned champions. They were in complete control of the series and the Oilers had no answers. Even after losing to Edmonton 8-1 in Game 4 to avoid elimination, the Panthers were thought to bounce back and close out the game at home in Game 5.

  But they didn’t. The series got away from the Panthers and the Oilers woke up, including McDavid, who had eight points in wins in Games 4 and 5. Now he has helped take the franchise to the game every young hockey player dreams of.

  Does history favor the Oilers?

  Are the Edmonton Oilers about to pull off a historic performance Monday in Game 7 (8 p.m. ET; ABC) of the Stanley Cup Final? The Florida Panthers hope to finally win the fourth game of the series after failing in their previous three attempts, including Friday’s 5-1 loss at Rogers Place.

  It remains to be seen if the Oilers can complete the series comeback from trailing 3-0, but they have already made history by forcing a Game 7.

  Edmonton became the 211th team in NHL history to fall behind 3–0 in a best-of-seven playoff series. By winning Game 6, they became just the 10th team to ever come all the way back and force a Game 7 — something that hasn’t happened in a decade.

  But just winning three games in a row to force a do-or-die Game 7 isn’t automatically a sign that you’re going to win the series. Only four of the previous nine series have resulted in the trailing team coming back to win the all-important fourth game – and that has happened only twice since 1975 and only once in the Stanley Cup Final.
