It's little surprise that the Chicago Blackhawks owned a commanding 2- lead in the Stanley Cup betting heading into Game 3, since they have been one particular of the best teams in hockey betting the entire season. It hasn't been easy so far in this hockey betting series and it's not likely to get easier, but the Hawks are in firm control of this NHL odds series versus the Philadelphia Flyers and if they might have managed to win on Wednesday night they would have had an all but insurmountable 3- lead in the 2010 Stanley Cup betting event and be within in one particular win of hoisting Lord Stanley's hardware.

Granted, if there's any team in hockey betting capable of returning from a 3- deficit it's the Flyers but it's not even worth considering, there's such an astronomically small chance of that happening during the Stanley Cup betting finals. If the Hawks had won Game 3 in Philly this NHL odds series is over. No team in NHL betting history has ever come back from a 3- hole in the Stanley Cup betting event and it wouldn't have taken place this year either.

The Hawks have not dominated in either Game 1 or 2 (slim 1 goal victories of 6-5 and 2-1) and, in fact, might have very easily lost both games. It took a late game goal in Game 1 to cement the Chicago win and in Game 2 more than one lucky bounce of the puck conserved the Hawks win as the Flyers assaulted Antti Neimi (32 saves) over the previous half of the 3rd period.

But the team pulled out the first 2 wins, even with losing Wednesday night's game, and is now well poised to capture the Stanley Cup betting title.

Nevertheless, the Flyers are still in the tournament with a win on Wednesday night versus the Hawks. Thanks to a goal from Claude Giroux, the 4-3 win came at 5:59 into overtime.

The win snapped a 7-game winning streak that the Hawks were enjoying until Wednesday night. At this time, with the Stanley Cup Finals series at 2-1, the Flyers are back in the game while the Blackhawks still have enough of a lead to take the title. After all, the odds do favor Chicago. Only 2 teams have lost the series despite winning the first 2 games at home. Only four teams have come back from a 2- hole to win the Stanley Cup Finals. Conversely, the Blackhawks haven't won the title since 1961 and the Flyers have more a short while ago in 1975. The odds do tend to favor the Blackhawks, even though neither team is exactly playing knockout games.

The Flyers have still come up short despite having thrown just about everything they can at the Hawks. That sort of demoralizing effort has a way of ending NHL playoff betting series rapidly. Additionally, the Hawks have rattled off 2 wins in a row in this Stanley Cup betting series lacking even the slightest contribution from team captain and NHL playoff betting foremost scorer, Jonathon Toews (26 points in 18 games).
