January 11, 2023 No Comments

The Philadelphia Flyers VS Washington Capitals game will feature two teams who are headed in opposite directions for the start of the season. Washington has a 23-14-6 record and after securing seven wins in their past 10 games, they have reached the top of the Metropolitan Division. Philadelphia has a 16-8-7 record which is the second-worst record in the Metropolitan Division. Both teams want to improve within the division and the Eastern Conference, so today’s game should be an interesting one. MatchPlug has all the NHL Predictions Today you can use to inform yourself before the start of the game. Philadelphia Flyers VS Washington Capitals Preview Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia When: Wednesday, January 11, 2023 Time: 14:00 GMT Teams to play: Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals NHL Picks: 1.57 Philadelphia Flyers And Washington Capitals Prediction These are some expert NHL predictions surrounding today’s game between the Flyers and Capitals. Capitals Have A Potent Offense Washington Capitals are having a fantastic season with their offence stepping up and scoring 3.36 goals per game, plus 22 goals scored in their last five games. Left Winger Alexander Ovechkin scored 29 goals and 19 assists, and Dylan Strome and Evgeny Kuznetsov added 14 goals and 53 assists to the top two lines. The rest of the Capitals’ offence has been awesome too. Connor Sheary, Anthony Mantha and Marcus Johansson have a combined 30 goals and 41 assists, and defensemen Erik Gustafsson and Nick Jensen have added eight goals and 35 assists from the point to open up the defence. The team’s defence has also shaped up, allowing only 2.70 goals per game with only five goals in the past three games. Gustafsson and Jensen share 4.8 defensive points shares and 124 blocked shots. Trevor Van Riemsdyk, Dmitry Orlov, and Martin Fehervary have a combined 5.9 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. Additionally, goaltender Darcy Kuemper has been good with a .920 save percentage and a 2.45 goals-against average on 766 shots. Flyers’ Defense Has Improved Philadelphia Flyers are having a forgettable season, particularly because their offence is struggling, scoring only 2.78 goals per game. Travis Konecny, Kevin Hayes, and Joel Farabee have a combined 40 goals and 62 assists to lead the top two lines, but the rest of the offence is not doing well. Only five Flyers’ skaters have nine goals or more and opposing defences can limit the top-heavy offence due to this. The Flyers’ offence can’t stay afloat, but the team’s defence is their most recent source of disappointment, allowing 3.22 goals per game. Travis Sanheim and Ivan Provorov have combined for 3.3 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit is found wanting, allowing the opposition to find open shots on the net at will. The upside however is the goaltender Carter Hart’s play which is a .908 save percentage and 2.97 goals-against average on 898 shots. Betting Odds BetMGM Spread: Philadelphia Flyers (+1.5) | Washington Capitals (-1.5) BetMGM Total: Philadelphia Flyers U6 | Washington Capitals Over 6 BetMGM Moneyline: Philadelphia Flyers (2.45) | Washington Capitals (1.57) 1XBet Spread: Philadelphia Flyers (+1.5) | Washington Capitals (-1.5) 1XBet Totals: Philadelphia Flyers Under 5.5 | Washington Capitals Over 5.5 1XBet Moneyline: Philadelphia Flyers 3.36 | Washington Capitals 1.97 BetMGM Odds for Flyers VS Capitals 1XBet Odds for Flyers VS Capitals The Flyers showed promise in their recent games, but the Capitals have the makings of one of the Eastern Conference’s best teams. Washington will try to control this game in the first period. Washington averages 3.26 goals per game and will seek out the back of the net with Alexander Ovechkin, Dylan Strome, and the rest of the forward unit building a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots. With only five goals allowed in the last three games, the Capitals would also limit the Flyers’ offence using Nick Jensen, Dmitry Orlov, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and barring shots on the net. That should allow Kuemper to make saves. The Capitals are expected to win this game with a strong performance on the road. Final Prediction -Washington Capitals Moneyline road favourites.

David Pastrnak Lifts B’s In Road Trip Finale With Hat Trick

January 10, 2023 No Comments

Winger secures 13th career hatty as Boston cruised 7-1 win over Ducks. Hampus Lindholm may have seen David Pastrnak only twice a year during his time with the Anaheim Ducks, but there was one noteworthy performance by the Winger which is hard to forget: Pastrnak’s only career four-game goal was scored against Anaheim on October 14th, 2019 at TD Garden. “He’s a special player,” Lindholm said. “The way he can move the puck and put it in the back of the net, it’s really special. It’s fun to have him on my side finally.” Lindholm delighted in the fact that on Sunday night when Pastrnak potted his 13th career hat trick in the Boston Bruins’ 7-1 drubbing of the Ducks at Honda Center. Pastrnak bolted past Johnny Bucyk for sole possession of third place on the B’s all-time hat tricks list and is now just one back of tying Cam Neely for second. “It will never get old,” Pastrnak said when talking about his hat trick haul, which does not include two others in the postseason. “You’re scoring goals in the best league in the world. It’s not easy. I will never take it for granted. It’s my job to score goals. It still makes you happy.” Boston was over the moon with Pastrnak’s performance as it secured a flawless 3-0 swing through California while extending their point streak to 14 games (11-0-3) and improving their overall record to an astounding 32-44 on the season. The Black & Gold’s 68 points are the second-most through 40 games in NHL history (Boston, 71 in 1929-30), while their 32 wins also equal the second-most through 40 games in league legend with the 1944-45 Canadiens (the 1929-30 B’s has 35 wins). David Pastrnak’s first goal of the night opened the scoring (his 62nd career game-opening goal) and secured his sixth career 30-goal season, making him just the seventh player in Bruins history to achieve that feat. Phil Esposito and Rick Middleton, Johnny Bucyk -7, Peter McNab, Cam Neely, and Patrice Bergeon 6; were all players who attained this honour. The winger is also the third player this season to hit the 30-goal plateau, joining Edmonton Oilers’ Connor McDavid (33) and Buffalo Sabers’ Tage Thompson (31). “You can’t teach Krejci finding, buying time and Pasta just stopping there,” head coach Jim Montogomery said regarding the center’s feed from behind the net and Pastrnak’s one-timer finish from the right-wing circle to put Boston on top, 1-0, at 3:49 of the first. “Goal scorers know how to get open, that’s why they continue to score goals. That shot was amazing.” Further, into the game, Pastrnak also assisted on David Krejci’s first-period maker to double the Bruins’ lead, before burying two goals in the middle frame – just 17 seconds apart; including a gorgeous breakaway finish that had Boston ahead, 4-1, after 40 minutes. “Elite, creative – he’s like an artist the different ways he scores,” Montgomery said. “Everyone talks about the one-timers, but he scores off his front foot, his back foot, his backhand, fakes. I would have broke my ankle if I was the goalie in the nets on that breakaway one.” Pastrnak’s 30th goal of the season was scored in his 40th game, which set a new personal best after doing it in 42 games during the 2019-20 campaign. He is now the seventh different Bruin to score 30 or more goals in 40 games or fewer. Pastrnak joins the likes of Esposito (four times), Neely (1993-94), Dit Clapper (1929-30), Herb Cain (1943 -44), Bill Cowley (1943-44) and Cooney Weiland (1929-30). “The puck went in, obviously, I had some good looks,” said Pastrnak. “I was able to capitalize. Games like this sometimes, it’s good. Overall, unbelievable trip for us. Let’s go home now.” Lindholm Hampus’ Homecoming For Lindholm Hampus, the Sunday night game vs Anaheim Ducks was a sort of homecoming for him, as he came back to Honda Center as a visitor. Hampus spent the first nine seasons of his career as an Anaheim player before he was traded to Bruins last March for Urho Vaakanainen, John Moore, a 2022 first-round pick, and two other draft picks. “It was weird,” Lindholm recounted. “Walking in, I got lost walking around the locker room and didn’t really know where to go. It was a different feeling, but happy with the two points and the process. We’ve been playing good here on this road trip, so nice to be able to go back home after a big win.” In the first period, the Ducks paid homage to Lindholm with a video tribute highlighting his play on the ice, personality, and community work away from the rink. “It kind of shaped me in my first couple years in the NHL, being here,” said Lindholm. “The organization has been so good to me. I’ve had so many family and friends here. Great memories. I’m obviously super happy about all that, but it’s a new chapter for me now which I’m really excited about as well.” Lindholm rounded off the night with his fifth goal of the season when he pinched down the wall all the way into the corner and fired a shot from a bad angle that sneaked past John Gibson Anaheim’s goalie, to extend the Bruins’ lead to 6-1 with 8:34 to go. “I was shooting to score,” said Lindholm. “I’ve tried to get in my head to shoot a little bit more. Good things happen when you shoot, I feel like. It was nice to see it go in.” Boston Bruins Displeasure The Boston Bruins acknowledged that they were displeased with a scrum following Anaheim’s only goal late in the first period when Trevor Zegras seemingly barked something at Trent Frederic in front of the Boston Bench. “Yeah, for sure. You can’t do that after a goal,” said Pastrnak. “You have to have some certain respect. You can’t score a goal and then yell at the opponent no matter what happened in the sequence

Avid bettors have found a way to bypass certain rules that govern bettor behavior and determinewhere they may or may not bet, or how to and how not to bet.Below we examine some secret ways Americans are currently betting on football. Offshore SportsbooksAccording to a report by the American Gaming Organization, 52% of Americans engage in off-shore betting.Gambling on English Premier League soccer games can be done legally at some domestic andoffshore bookmakers. Offshore betting sites may be accessible to US-based bettors, because theyare not governed by state and federal gambling laws.While it is not legally sanctioned by any US body, betting with offshore sportsbooks doesn’tbreak any laws and participants won’t be penalized and no arrests have been reported.This is because gambling laws often crackdown on illegal operators and not gamblers. However,bettors are still required to read the terms of all betting memberships and regional gambling lawsbefore betting.Americans can bet on football online from the US, but because of the uncertainties surroundingthe legal climate of providing sports-betting services to US citizens, most offshore bookies donot serve them.

Why is the State of Massachusetts lagging behind in legalizing online sports betting?

November 25, 2022 No Comments

In recent years, many states in the US have already approved legal sports betting. However,there are few states that are taking longer than others to do the same thing. Massachusetts andMaryland are two of such states whose sports betting are delayed.Massachusetts sports fans have been waiting with bated breath for the state government toallow sports betting operators into the state.This activity has already been approved by the legislators and the state’s governor. But, there isa low chance that Bay Staters will access new sports betting sites in the year 2022.Keep reading to discover the reasons why there is a delay in online sports betting inMassachusetts, which online casinos are already operating, and the latest on Massachusettssports betting. Article Content: Is sports betting legalized in Massachusetts? What is causing Massachusetts to lag behind in legalizing online sports betting? How long will sports betting in Massachusetts be delayed? When can Massachusetts begin legal sports betting? How sports betting will work in Massachusetts Which sportsbooks will operate in Massachusetts? Existing operators to offer sports betting in Massachusetts Legal online sports betting sites in Massachusetts Is Sports Betting Legalized In Massachusetts?Massachusetts recently joined the list of US states that now allow some form of legal sportsbetting. The Massachusetts Sports Wagering Act was signed into law by Governor CharlieBaker on August 10th.The bill was widely backed by lawmakers, passing in the house by a vote of 36-4. However, likemost other states, Massachusetts could not allow legal sports betting immediately. Instead, thestate charged the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, to put in place the necessaryinfrastructure for operators.Dozens of eligible operators have promptly applied for Massachusetts sports betting licenses.Although, none of the applicants have been approved by the state. According to reports,operators may not get their approach until early next year. What Is Causing Massachusetts To Lag Behind In Legalizing Online Sports Betting? Legal sports betting garnered a lot of support from Massachusetts’ lawmakers, which is why itmight be surprising that the practice is facing a lot of obstacles in its path.In 2021 too, a sports betting bill was also passed by House legislators, by a vote of 156-3-1.Despite the large backing it received, the 2021 sports betting bill fell apart in the Senatebecause of budget concerns. The same bill in the Senate during that session, also met thesame fate.Presently, another bill has been passed by lawmakers who worked endlessly to pass it beforethe end of the session.Governor Baker signed the approved bill after it was given a go-ahead by the legislators. Andnow many hurdles have surfaced which legal sports betting must overcome.Reasons For The Delay In Sports Betting In Massachusetts Lack Of Infrastructure To Support Online Sports BettingLike most other states in the US, Massachusetts also doesn’t have the infrastructure to supportonline sports betting.The Massachusetts Gaming Committee is working to establish a process for approvingly andmonitoring legal sports betting operators.For now, in-person sportsbooks will have to hold off, until online casinos are ready to beginoperations. Not Enough Licenses To Go AroundOperators were allowed by the MGC to apply for an online sports betting license, until the end ofAugust. The commission reported that 42 operators applied for a license before the deadline.However, only 15 online sports betting licenses can be issued by the MGC. Competitive Bidding For Licenses7 out of the 15 total licenses to be issued by the MGC, will be awarded based on a competitivebid. The three retail casinos in the “Codfish State” will be getting two sports betting apps each.The two racetracks in the state, will be permitted to have online betting partners too. Uncapped Temporary LicensesThe biggest hurdle faced by Massachusetts’ sports betting is temporary licenses.Sports betting law in Massachusetts limits the number of mobile operators to 15 – the state’sthree casinos get two licenses each, the two racetracks in the state get a single license. Thenseven unclaimed mobile licenses that will be determined in a competitive bidding process. The issue is that the law allows an undetermined number of temporary licenses, which is beinginterpreted by the MGC as temporary licenses being uncapped.Due to more demand than supply, MGC expects more than 15 applications for mobile licenses.The commission states that it can’t make the decision to deny temporary licenses to qualifiedoperators, putting it in a tough position where it would have to approve temporary licenses, andthen deny many of the operators a permanent license.Given the recent development, the MGC can wait for the legislature to resolve the discrepancybetween temporary and permanent licenses.A competitive process can be created and the number of temporary licenses it will issue islimited.They can issue over 15 temporary licenses and determine a competition process to select whichsites would be granted full licenses and which wouldn’t get it.Allow tethered online licenses (casinos and racetracks) to launch their online websites, whiledelaying the launch of the untethered licenses until a fix is established.However, the various options that the MGC has, won’t pacify the many eligible sports bettingstakeholders.Waiting on a legislative fix is the worst-case scenario. This will take time and revisiting the lawcould cause more changes than a simple cap on temporary licenses.Following the competitive process route will also be a lengthy procedure. Furthermore, limitingthe number of temporary licenses could lead to lawsuits for the Commission, so awarding morethan 15 temporary licenses and then shutting down some sites.Permitting tethered licenses to launch first would place untethered licenses at a competitivedisadvantage and might result in lawsuits. On that note, a retail launch, succeeded by tetheredonline licenses and a process to award the seven untethered licenses, may be the moststraightforward route. How Long Will Sports Betting In Massachusetts Be Delayed?There are numerous prospective operators for the MCG to choose from to license. But, theprocess isn’t as simple as it seems. The MGC is presently working towards creating regulationsfor online sportsbooks operators to abide by.After a meeting, the MGC asked that bettors exercise patience as the process unfolds. Aspokesperson for the Commission stated that other US states took as long as 8 months tocreate regulations. Hopefully, Massachusetts’ sports bettors won’t have to wait that long. The
