Online sportsbook and casino sites are already posting odds as to who will win the Stanley Cup in 2007. Ottawa and Detroit are the favourites, currently 6-1. Of the six Canadian teams in the NHL, my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs have been given the smallest chance to win it all. The blue and white are listed at 40-1.
40-1? I've gotta throw a few bucks down on the home team. You see, I keep having this recurring dream in which we win this thing and there's this most amazing parade and I'm there, wearing my Bill Barilko jersey and shedding a bucket of tears of joy. As I see it, this dream is bound to come true one day. Heck, June 2007 is as good a time as ever.
