    Last nights game appears to be a bit of a classic, I am glad I have a tenner on the Flyers as they are looking like a team who will dominate this season and already 3 & 3 plus on the road against some strong teams.

    The off-season trades threw a lot of people off them, but the core of their team means they can definitely be big contenders again this year. Giroux is an absolute animal, love how he plays. He could very well get close to 100 points this year. Bryzgalov should be a 40+ win goaltender this year too. Jagr and Briere aren't really firing yet, so the thoughts of how good they'll be once they are up and running is a bit scary.

    Looking forward to the first Pens-Flyers game this season, December 8th.

    Arrom Asham is coming in for a lot of negative press today after his fight against Jay Beagle last night. I have to say that "celebrating" after a fight is a pretty awful thing to do, when your opponent is flat out on the ice. But the fight was warranted and there was nothing wrong with Asham coming to Letang's defence.

    Thoughts?

    Allowed 4 off 21 shots last night against the Flames... think I'll stick with what I've got.

    Habs can't seem to catch a break these last few seasons when it comes to injuries... it was a mistake to let Roman Hamrlik go, especially with the defense lineup so depleted and Markov still being a doubt.. fingers crossed that we can plug the holes before too long!!

    i dont think asham didn much wrong, he defended a team mate, they really cant afford for letang to be hurt.

    Beagle acted the hard man and got KTFO

    Citizens Of Winnipeg Realize They Hate Hockey Now
    WINNIPEG—After hosting the first game of the newly relocated Winnipeg Jets last week, Winnipeg residents realized they have actually lost all interest in hockey in the 15 years since they last had an NHL team and in fact now despise the sport. “It was nice of them to think of us when they were moving the team, but when we look back on all those years we watched this dumb sport, it’s just embarrassing,” said local man Bobby Dolan, cringing at the sight of a Jets logo. “I checked out about half a period before I realized how much better my life has been without hockey.” As of press time, the Winnipeg-based investors who bought the team had left the deed to their arena and all of their 23 players with a sleeping homeless man curled up on a sidewalk.

    Not often they get around to hockey, but I do love The Onion. :P

    My Sabres are taking on Shanannigan's Habs tonight, should be a good one.
    Enroth to start I think, and Habs still without Cammi and Spacek.

    And the rest!

    Pens really need Sid or Malkin back, preferably both.

    Letang got a pretty ridiculous two-game suspension for this last night on Alex Burmistrov:

    Why do you think that? They're not the hottest team around but the Jets beat the Penguins the other night. 10/11 is pretty short odds for an NHL game, you very rarely see teams that side of evens.

    Habs are having a disastrous start to the season.. though I'm living in denial in my NHL '12 season mode..
    any heads out there in EA sports land?

    You see them all the time, often see teams at 1/2 on the 60 minute line.

    The last two nights of full(ish) programmes have only had 2 or 3 teams at odds-on in the 60 minute line market.

    Yeah i know, but you said it was not usual to see this, over a given week you would see a whole lot of odds on.
    Anyway do ya bet on the games yourself?

    I work for a bookies, so I'm trying to get some sort of a system together at the moment. No luck as yet though :)

    As for NHL12, I've got it but only play the HUT at the moment. Played NHL11 to death.

    Do you get a lot of interest from punters, most bookies where i would bet on Hockey look at me like i have 4 heads when i ask for odds or they look at my bet and are confused.

    Not a whole lot, no, but I'm not working in a shop or taking bets so it's not easy to judge. But overall it's a fairly minority sport as you'd expect.
