Rangers Odds to Win the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals Pay $143

The New York Rangers odds to win the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals will pay out $143 for every $100 bet or $14.30 for every $10 bet.  It remains to be seen as to whether they will face the Chicago Blackhawks (4/1 odds) or Los Angeles Kings (near EVEN odds).

20% of those betting on the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals futures were backing the Rangers with another 33% backing LA and 27% backing Chicago.

This is the Rangers first Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 20 years.

"We played so well the entire game," the Rangers Henrik Lundqvist said following their Finals clinching game against the Canadiens. "For me it was more about just being focused on the shots they had."

That win followed a very tough 7-4 loss Tuesday night.

"It's been tough," Lundqvist said. "You have so many highs. You have a few lows where you're questioning a lot of things, but then you just have to make up your mind, you can't have any excuses. I don't think I've been more determined to win a hockey game. To put ourselves in a spot where we can play for the Cup is extremely special."

Sportsbooks reportedly made out well with the Canadiens elimination as they were among the most heavily backed teams a la their loyal Canadian sports betting fans.  More than 50% of bets coming in on the NHL Playoffs are believed to originate from Canada.
