This year's hockey betting season will be recalled for a lot of things but perhaps the longest lasting and most touching impression that will linger on in the collective recollection of the sports betting world is the excellent NHL playoff betting contest.

After witnessing a variety of highs and lows in this year's NHL postseason odds bouts, any one that made a hockey gamble on any of these fantastic games won't soon forget it.

That the Hawks won this year's Stanley Cup Finals betting title isn't all that surprising. The truth is considering that this team was among the best in the NHL betting all year lengthy (112 points) and a #2 seed in the Western Conference, it's a pretty logical hockey betting ending. However what was unexpected, and highly satisfying for devotees that made a hockey bet this post season, was how the Hawks and their Stanley Cup betting opponents, the Flyers arrived at the NHL Finals betting odds.

The Western Conference playoff betting wasn't too terribly unforeseen and there weren't many upsets as the Hawks competed their way to a conference championship and berth in the Stanley Cup betting contest. How easily the Hawks overcame the #1 seed San Jose Sharks in the Conference Final betting was the greatest shock. However that predictability (and quality hockey betting contest) was a good counterweight to the craziness of the Eastern Conference playoff hockey betting.

The Eastern Conference NHL playoff betting was so crazy that if you were among the millions of sports betting devotees that made a hockey on any of those games there's a quite good chance that you lost money. Basically put, this year's NHL playoff betting, at the least in the Eastern Conference, was probably the most capricious in NHL betting history –hands down.

History was re-written as we watched upset after upset and the strangest pairing of a #7 seed (Flyers) and a #8 seed (Montreal Canadiens) battled it out in the rink for a bid to compete in the Stanley Cup betting finals. The only regret in this huge season of NHL playoff betting is that this wild ride had to come to a finish.

If the Hawks were going to claim their 1st championship in 5 decades and hoist this year's Stanley Cup odds title they were going to need to earn it. But right away you may tell this was going to be a memorable hockey betting battle. And that's exactly what they did.

Game 6 of this year's Stanley Cup odds contest came to an exciting ending in OT when Patrick Kane slapped in an unlikely goal to give the hawks not only a Game 6 win but a Stanley Cup betting title as well.

It was the city of Chicago's 1st sports betting title since the White Sox won the World Series in 2005 and the city's 1st Stanley Cup odds title in 49 years.

It had been a highly thrilling and fitting ending to a amazing Stanley Cup betting series.
