While the team has ability, it also comes up short each spring, so NHL gambling online anticipations for the Boston Bruins are mixed for the 2010-11 season. After a crushing playoff loss to Philadelphia last year, Boston has opened as a +1400 choice at the sports book to win the Stanley Cup this year.
History was made – The Boston Bruins became the first team since the 1975 Pittsburgh Penguins to blow a 3-0 lead in a Stanley Cup playoff series in online casino sports gambling as they went down to defeat vs Philadelphia. The year before that the Boston Bruins entered playoff competition as the top seed in the Eastern Conference and what was supposed to be a considerable run for a Stanley Cup concluded with an early round upset loss. The Boston Bruins last won the Stanley Cup a long time ago in 1972 with Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, and Gary Cheevers making the kind of history that long suffering Boston Bruins fans are hoping to relive once more this year.
Julien is back – Head coach Claude Julien, who’s done such a good job in the regular season, is back for another attempt at Lord Stanley’s Cup. Another early playoff exit will likely cause a pink slip for Julien.
Added Weapons – As they rated 30th in the league for scoring, Boston was among the worst offensive teams in NHL online sports betting odds last year. It wasn’t the kind of offense that may overcome sound playoff teams such as the Philadelphia Flyers, who won the series based in major part because of their better quick strike capability. Boston general manager Pete Chiarelli turned a negative into a positive by picking up Tyler Seguin and Nathan Horton only a month after the playoff debacle. Horton is thought to be an underachiever with a lot of upside at 25 years old. He obtained 57 points last year and Chiarelli thinks he’s capable of significantly more.
As he has a great ability set and major size, Seguin is thought to be another potential asset with NHL gambling online oddsmakers. Julien will be charged with bringing that out this season.
Promising Goalkeeper -Tuuka Rask had a remarkable save percentage of .931 while scoring 22 NHL gambling victories with a 1.97 goals vs average and won the starting job at goalie last year. At 23 years of age he’s set to be a long time fixture in Beantown.
