Stanley Cup Odds: Panthers Favourites to Beat Oilers
Craig Jones 
The Stanley Cup final will kick off on Saturday, with the Florida Panthers taking on the Edmonton Oilers.
The Panthers have navigated their way through the Eastern Conference, most recently beating the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final, and that’s seen them become favourites with betting sites to lift the cup, available at 10/13 with bet365.
The Oilers came through the Western Conference, getting the better of the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final, they are now one step away from delivering a first Stanley Cup for Connor McDavid, they are priced up at 11/10 with bet365 to win the series.

Panthers Favourites but Close Battle Expected
I’m not surprised to see the Florida Panthers listed as favourites to win this series, if you were to put together a description of what you want from a Stanley Cup team, then I think they almost nail it.
Their desire to win, depth on both the blue line and forward core, rock solid goaltending, special teams, they have it all.
But of course, the Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid. He’s not the only one, but he’s the superstar, the X factor, the potential game and series winner, that no one else can really match.
That’s not to doubt the Oilers as a team, but they are top heavy, and rely on McDavid, plus a couple more, to get them over the line.
Both have shown why they can win it over the past few weeks, and that should set up to give us a thrilling end to the season.
