To me, this NHL season is such an open and shut case. The Detroit Red Wings were such an omnipotent force in the NHL last year; it was almost fruitless for the betting community to get excited about anyone else. The Penguins, Rangers and Habs all made us excited in the Eastern Conference, but for no apparent reason.

Even though most of the Pacific Division's games occur too late in the night for BetUS hockey betting enthusiasts to enjoy them, that doesn't mean that they should ignore them altogether. Some of the league's best get stuck in the 10:30 PM ET timeslot on a nightly basis, including Chris Pronger, Joe Thornton and Anze Kopitar.

For all of the Canadian hockey wagering enthusiasts out there, this is probably the preview you've been looking forward to. The Northeast has changed hands in terms of dominance many times since its inception. Last season, we saw a new face atop the list -- the Montreal Canadiens.

Online hockey betting enthusiasts will certainly have their eyes on the other side of the board and a different set of channels this winter. With the exception of the eventual Stanley Cup final result, the Eastern Conference was a decidedly more exciting place to be. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Oveckhin of course hogged the highlight reels, but there was a hefty supporting cast in between the...

Pittsburgh finally cracked Chris Osgood and the blue-line of Detroit since this sports betting series kicked off. Is Osgood’s confidence shattered? Hardly. But now the dangerous factor remains that Pittsburgh knows it can get shots on net. Pittsburgh rifled 24 shots on net, while more than a handful of shots dinged off the post.

Suddenly Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins don’t look so dead to the sports betting community after all.

The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Eastern Conference championship and a trip to the http://www.betus.com/sports-betting/nhl-hockey" href_cetemp="NHL'>http://www.betus.com/sports-betting/nhl-hockey">NHL finals for the first time since 1992 by crushing its opponents.

Dallas Stars (45-30-7) vs. Detroit Red Wings (54-21-7) Saturday, May 17th --- Joe Louis Arena, Detroit --- 1:30pm EST Series: Det 3-1 NHL Betting Line: Detroit -270 Dallas is one of the best teams in the NHL, and they’re massive underdogs in tonight’s sports betting contest. You really have to hand it to them in Game 4. They got everything they needed from Brendan Morrow, perhaps...
