Last night, the Dallas Mavericks went to Miami up 3-2 in their NBA series and got the job done to clinch their first title.
Vancouver tries to mimic that success as they head to Boston for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final.
But before you go slamming your money down on the Canucks, a few facts to consider: Vancouver has won in Boston just twice since 1997 and they were hammered 12-1 total in Game 3 & 4 in this series.
So with online sportsbooks such as bodog offering the Canucks at +125 (wager $100 turns a $125 profit), it is tempting. But it could be fool’s gold as well, facing a pumped up black-and-gold TD Garden.

More than 57% of the betting public at OddsShark.com is favoring Boston, although the UNDER could be the best bet on the Stanley Cup odds menu if history repeats itself.
There has only been one OVER in the past nine meetings betweeen these teams (the 8-1 Game 3 rout) and three of the first five games have been shutouts.
