The Edmonton Oilers’ Untold Secret: What Keeps the Hype Alive Year After Year?
Every season under the Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl era in Edmonton, the Oilers have been one of the favourites to win the Stanley Cup. This year is no different. Depending on the sportsbook, you’ll see the Oilers with fourth-best odds to win the Stanley Cup, somewhere between +900 and +1000.
These odds are higher than normal given the season Edmonton had last year. But it seems the hockey world still can’t get enough of betting against a team that has McDavid and Draisaitl on it. We have seen this be the case over the years with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. While it is still hard to bet against Crosby, in more recent times the Penguins are an average team.
