NHL Stanley Cup Finals - Game 6
06/09/2010 - 16:56
The Chicago Blackhawks are on the verge of winning their first Stanley Cup championship since 1961, thus ending the longest championship drought in the NHL. The honor of the longest length of time without a championship will fall to the last of the Original Six teams without a Cup victory since the NHL expanded in 1967, the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Blackhawks are still one win away from winning the Stanley Cup and Chris Pronger and the Philadelphia Flyers will do everything to deny...
Stanley Cup Finals - Game 3
06/02/2010 - 18:42
The Flyers were the better team on Monday night, but the best player on the ice was Chicago’s 26-year-old Finnish rookie net minder, and that was the difference. Niemi was a wall, stopping 32 of 33 shots to lead the Hawks to a 2-1 victory in Game 2 and a two game lead in the series. He’ll need to be even better on Wednesday night as the series has shifted back to Philadelphia for Game 3 and with the Flyers in desperation mode, you know they’ll be throwing everything but the...
Stanley Cup Finals - Game 2 Odds
05/31/2010 - 14:31
For all the storylines heading into the Stanley Cup, Game 1 proved that these teams can clearly get it done on offense, but their goaltending situations leave much to be desired. Both teams looked dangerous when they had the puck, but when you go back and look at the highlights you’ll notice a very suspect defensive zone for both teams. This game figures to be a more tight checking game as both coaches no doubt were not pleased with their team’s efforts defending their...
NHL Stanley Cup Final Betting Preview
05/26/2010 - 14:34
NHL betting has been a wild ride through the first three rounds of the playoffs, especially in the East. The Philadelphia Flyers have fought their way to the Stanley Cup final after being left for dead in the conference semis and rolling over the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern final. Can the Flyers keep that magic going against the powerful Chicago Blackhawks? Bettors will have to wait and see when this series starts up Saturday at the United Center.

NHL Playoffs Weekend Preview

Here’s a look at the two conference final series on tap for NHL betting this weekend:
Friday - San Jose Sharks at Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks left the San Jose Sharks flat-footed in their own rink, winning both games at HP Pavilion to open the Western Conference final. The Blackhawks used their physical brand of hockey to bully the Sharks’ defense and keep San Jose's deep forward corps in check. The Sharks have managed just three goals heading...

Panic Time in Montreal
The Philadelphia Flyers have done something that no team has done to the Montreal Canadiens in thirty years – shut them out in two straight playoff games. NHL odds are that Montreal comes back in Game 3. Montreal, despite outshooting the Flyers in both games find themselves in a 2-0 hole heading back to Montreal, where their playoff record is hardly inspiring.

NHL Western Conference Final - Game 2
05/18/2010 - 14:52
Can Blackhawks Back The Sharks Into A Corner?
Unlike the East, this is a conference final many had predicted. However, not many people predicted that game one of the series was going to be a goaltending showcase; not with the potent offense each team possesses. But that’s what we got in the opener. Sharks net-minder Evgeni Nabokov was spectacular in the loss, making 28 saves. However, Antii Niemi was even better, making 44 saves to put his Blackhawks up 1-0 in the series. The Finnish...

Can Flyers Protect Home Ice?
The Montreal Canadiens are no stranger to being beaten bad in a playoff opener. It happened against Washington, and it happened against Pittsburgh, and look what happened with those series. So if you think the Habs dressing room is stressing much about their 6-0 loss to Philly on Sunday, think again. That’s not to say they don’t know they have to play better; they just aren’t the team that’s going to dwell much on failures, and instead...
NHL Playoff Tuesday Betting

Montreal Canadiens at Philadelphia Flyers
After an emotional seven-game series with the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Montreal Canadiens were primed for a letdown in their opening game with the Philadelphia Flyers. Montreal was dumped 6-0 Sunday night, failing to...

2010 Eastern Conference Semi Finals - Game 7
Philadelphia Flyers (+105) @ Boston Bruins (-125)
Goals O/U: 5
The Boston Bruins weren't supposed to be here. Wait, I mean the Philadelphia Flyers aren't supposed to be here. Wait…what?
Yes, thats right. The top 5 teams in the East have been sent packing, only the bottom three seeds remain, two of them play on Friday night.
Imagine, Philly needed a play in game to even make the playoffs, and drew the #2 seed in the...

With the Western Conference Finals decided, and only one series left to figure out in the East, its time to revisit the latest NHL Stanley Cup winning futures odds.
Eastern Conference:

NHL Playoff Wednesday

Two very important games tonight in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs starting with Game 7 between the defending Champion Pittsburgh Penguins and the Upstart 8th seeded Montreal Canadiens.
Montreal has shocked the hockey world on three separate occasions this NHL post season, first by just making the playoffs, then by beating the heavily favoured Washington Capitals and then once more by forcing a game seven against the defending champions.

NHL betting has just one game on the schedule Tuesday night with the Vancouver Canucks hosting the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference semifinals. Here's an inside look at this lone matchup:
Chicago Blackhawks at Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks dodged the Blackhawks' knockout punch and countered with an impressive 4-1 victory in Game 5 on Sunday. That win makes the series 3-2 in favor of Chicago heading to GM Place for Game 6 on Tuesday night.
That might not be what the...

Flyers Will Avoid Sweep
The Boston Bruins were not given much of a chance my many prognosticators after limping in to the 2010 NHL playoffs. However, an opening round win over the Buffalo Sabres, and three straight victories over the Philadelphia Flyers have moved the team that finished sixth in the Eastern conference standings to within one game of reaching the Eastern conference finals for the second consecutive year.
