Charlie Boccanegra
October 5, 2017

With Sergei Zubov out and Brad Richards not firing on all cylinders, the Stars will find it difficult to progress in the Playoffs, but if the master of defense returns to the ice early, NHL odds makers will need to readdress the Stars’ betting line.

Charlie Boccanegra
October 5, 2017

NHL Odds rarely lie, and Detroit are in no mood to prove that theory wrong, they remain one of the strong favorites to reach the Holy Grail in 2008. The Detroit Red Wings came into the 2007-08 season with one goal: To win the Stanley Cup. Judging by the campaign the Wings have had, there’s...

NHL

Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Playoff Preview

Charlie Boccanegra
October 5, 2017

The Bruins must get passed their historic rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, if they are to make 2008 a success and prove the NHL odds makers wrong. The defense-first system employed by Claude Julien’s Boston Bruins might not make for the most interesting hockey, but it’s served the team well this season. The Bruins ended up...

NHL

Calgary Flames Stanley Cup Playoff Preview

Charlie Boccanegra
October 5, 2017

Calgary Flames are unlikely to spark into life in the playoffs and the NHL betting odds reflect their lack of heat in the scoring department in 2008. It was hard to know what to expect out of Calgary when the Mike Keenan experiment began at the start of the season. It probably left more than...

NHL

Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup Playoff Preview

Charlie Boccanegra
October 5, 2017

NHL odds makers have made the Penguins the favored team in the East and with Fleury back on the ice, Pittsburgh could go a long way in 2008.

Charlie Boccanegra
October 5, 2017

Can San Jose keep their current good form going into the playoffs and give the hockey betting public something to think about?
