Summer was fun, but hockey returning is even better. It’s time to put down the margaritas, sleep less, eat poorly, and bet heavily.
With the first glorious weekend of the new NHL season (in North America) upon us, the debut performances of many teams this week provided important first impressions.
What is real and what is noise? My best bets this week are about capitalizing on early opportunities, however fleeting. Saturday, October 15 – 4 PM ET As a hockey diehard, I was extremely curious to see what effect coach John Tortorella would have on a Flyers team that has a distinct paucity of talent.
As promised, the Flyers played Torts hockey. They played with energy in board battles. They forechecked hard and frequently in Thursday’s season opener.
