BetUS.com: Goals
Will Increase Due To NHL Lockout
Calgary Flames’
Jarome Iginla Favored to Most Often “Light the Lamp”
How much of an effect will last season’s lockout
have on this year’s NHL season in terms of goals? 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.
