NHL Playoff Previews and Picks: Best Main-Market Wagers This Thursday and Friday Night
Noel Picard, the adorable, yet syntax-challenged St. Louis Blues commentator of the 1970s, used to set radio listeners adrift with mysterious, unfinished remarks such as, "We now have news of a final score. Toronto, 2." Too bad Picard wasn't around to report on Game 1's final score from the Toronto and Florida series on Tuesday. It might have made the Maple Leafs' final … [Read more...] about NHL Playoff Previews and Picks: Best Main-Market Wagers This Thursday and Friday Night

2023’s Stanley Cup Playoffs: Opening Sportsbook Odds, Betting Trends, Eastern and Western Conference Matchups

IIHF Women’s World Championship: 2023 Group A Preview, Projected Gold Medal Favorite, and Team USA Predictions
The terms "pandemic" and "COVID-19" will - thank goodness - be in use far less often when the IIHF's next big event faces-off in Canada, 2023's IIHF Women's World Championship beginning this Wednesday, April 5th. Though that doesn't mean the after-effects of 2020 and 2021's disruptions (and 2023's grim politics) aren't still glaringly evident in the ice hockey federation's … [Read more...] about IIHF Women’s World Championship: 2023 Group A Preview, Projected Gold Medal Favorite, and Team USA Predictions
