Stanley Cup Gambling Highlight on Game 4
The Stanley Cup wagering event for 2010 has officially reached the halfway point with Game 4 of the hockey gambling tournament just hours away. The Philadelphia Flyers would love to even things up at 2-2 after a striking Game 3 4-3 OT win, and the hawks have staked out a 2-1 lead heading into the Game 4 NHL odds matchup in Philadelphia.
As to which squad will win the next game of the Stanley Cup gambling event is up in the air, but with an NHL wagering championship on the line you can be sure that the hockey betting event will carry on being fast and furious in Game 4 .
To date this NHL playoff wagering series has been incredible. Each match has been decided by a single goal and several of these may have gone in either direction. We may just as easily be looking at a 2-1 Philly lead as a Chicago lead.
It was not all that long ago it looked like the Flyers may be on the verge of being swept from the 2010 Stanley Cup betting action. Now, just a few days later the Philadelphia Flyers are on the verge of tying this hockey wagering series up at 2-2 and trying to take control of the series with a win in Game five at Chicago.
One crucial hockey betting factor to remember proceeding into this Stanley Cup wagering Game 4 is the fact that the home ice edge has been a key variable in this NHL odds matchup. The home squad has won every game so far and that does not seem likely to change in Game 4 . Philadelphia is one of the most hard places to play in the NHL playoff wagering event and the Flyers have been superb on the home ice this year and have lost just 1 game the entire post season at home.
It’s hard to imagine the Flyers losing a game in Philly but the Chicago Blackhawks are a threatening squad and if there’s any team that can steal a hockey wagering victory here it’s Chicago.
Even with losing Game 3 the Hawks ultimately got their leading scorers Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on the scoreboard (Kane 1 goal and 1 assist, Toews 1 assist) and that could be a dangerous precedent for the Flyers. The Philly defenders have done an exceptional job shutting down Chicago’s star players and forcing other players like fringe veteran Marion Hossa to beat them. But it can be like a shark getting a taste of blood one time big time players like Toews and Kane get smell of the net.
But goal scoring wasn’t the biggest concern for the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 3 and it’s not apt to be the major issue for Game 4 of this hockey wagering series either. The Flyers focus will be on doing a greater job of protecting backup goalie Michael Leighton and keeping the Hawks from the net. Debatably now the greatest liability is Leighton, who was one time a shutout machine in the NHL playoff betting action.
Nevertheless, with the likes of Chris Pronger patrolling the ice the Flyers ought to be able to continue to contain the Blackhawks stars and outscore Chicago in Game 4 .
