2010 Playoff Hockey Wagering Was Finest Ever

The expression "best ever" is simply too quickly placed on nearly each facet of sports wagering and it has lost most of its effectiveness, but to say that the 2010 NHL playoff hockey wagering was the greatest ever would as real a statement as you might make.

Without danger of hyperbole 2010's NHL playoff wagering was the greatest that sports wagering supporters have seen so far.

Before the NHL playoff probabilities action even commenced the Washington Capitals were already penciled in by most hockey odds makers as the Stanley Cup wagering champs and anybody that made an early hockey bet on the eventual champ probably put their money on Washington also.

And if it wasn't Washington then it'd be the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team that each hockey wagering fan knew would definitely play vs the Capitals in the Eastern Conference playoff wagering. Everyone was so sure that the Caps and the Pens were going to meet up in the playoff hockey wagering action that the Ovechkin vs Crosby series was getting more hype than the Stanley Cup wagering probabilities.

Neither team made it pretty far in the NHL playoff wagering as it turned out. Nevertheless they would hardly be the only upset. In fact, from all the playoff series in the Eastern conference, the Pens 1st round win was the only NHL playoff wagering series on that side of the bracket that the higher seed won. And that means a lot supporters that made hockey bets lost money, but man, what an interesting way to lose.

The fact that a #7 seed and a #8 seed competed for the Eastern Conference title says a lot about how big of a role that upsets competed in 2010's NHL playoff wagering. And that's to say nothing of the awesome comeback that the Philadelphia Flyers staged vs the Bruins, winning 4 consecutive matches after dropping into a 3- hole vs the Bruins.

Game 3 was another high scoring affair with the Philadelphia Flyers getting their 1st win in the NHL probabilities series 4-3.

In fact, hockey wagering hasn't usually been about high scores and double digit goal totals.

But there is also no way to argue that the high scoring matches have helped to attract casual sports wagering supporters and raise the profile of NHL wagering among sports supporters.

We may never see another NHL playoff run as interesting and unpredictable as what we saw this year so if you're a hockey wagering fan savor it, as we may have just seen the greatest NHL playoff wagering season ever.
