BetUS.com:
Goals Will Increase Due To NHL Lockout
How much of an effect
will last season's lockout have on this year's
NHL season? In anticipation of the NHL's opening
night scheduled for this Wednesday, October
5, BetUS.com predicts an increase in scoring.
"BetUS.com believes that the
time off for the players will have a huge impact
on the game," said Mike Foreman, BetUS.com
spokesperson. "With team defenses not as
strong as they should be, and with the new rule
of no grabbing and holding in the neutral zone,
we think there's going to be an increase in
goals scored this season versus the last regular
season in 2003-2004." Continued Foreman,
"Among the NHL stars, we're looking at
Jerome Iginla of the Calgary Flames to score
a lot of goals." According to BetUS.com,
Iginla is favored at 2.5 to 1 to have the most
goals of any NHL player this upcoming season.
In addition to the NHL player scoring the most
goals, BetUS.com has posted odds for the player
to have the most points. Conversely, BetUS.com
also posted odds on which goalie will have the
best goals against average.
