so you mean top seeds like the sharks and the blues have a better chance of winning than the kings?
I think we're all smart enough to realize he was quoting the probability of winning at the start of the playoffs.

Meh, once the playoffs start, you might as well throw away the regular season rankings as any Canucks fan can attest to.
Exactly. The Bruins were the favorites (3:1 if memory serves) and the Canadians were 9:1 maybe, can't remember. Anyways, those numbers would all be (obviously) substantially different now.
EDIT: Just for fun… Odds from playnow.com
Chi 2.8
MTl 3.5
NYR 4.8 (this seems way wrong to me)
ANA 6.25
LAK 6.75 (also seems way wrong - but maybe a good bet!)
