I would agree - you'd think the odds would be longer. I guess at this point if you think they can come back and win the series, you'd certainly expect them to be a heavy favorite to win it all.
If you assume each game is 50/50, winning 4 straight is 16-1 odds, but if you want to assume that Tampa returns to playing something remotely resembling the team that won 62 games, maybe the chances of coming back to win this series might be something like 10-1, and then they'd still have to win 3 more rounds. Agreed that the odds should be a lot steeper than 12-1 to win the cup.
