Sorry, I wasn't clear.
Heavily favoured in terms of percentage of press predictions (US/Cdn) for Vancouver and which way the betting odds are going.
I don't mean heavily favoured as in blowout or sweep.
Most believe that it will be a long series, and most believe that Vancouver will prevail. Relatively few think Boston will win; hence Vancouver is heavily favoured.
ETA: I forgot to add officiating. Boston's power play just hasn't been as good as Vancouver's - so far.
