Bet on Hockey Phgiladelphia Flyers at SBG Global
The Flyers get surprising play out of goaltender Marty Biron and excellent leadership out of center Daniel Briere. The Flyers didn’t have quite enough talent to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals but they did make a mark in hockey betting last year.
Bet on hockey numbers show that Briere and Mike Richards were very solid players for Philadelphia in 2007. The Flyers also have Simon Gagne who would probably lead the team in goals scored according to bet on hockey numbers when healthy. The surprise forward last season according to gamblers that bet on hockey was Joffrey Lupul. He was a huge bargain for the Flyers last year and a real threat each night to impact the hockey betting line. A player that could make an impact in 2008-2009 is right wing Claude Giroux. If he is moved to the first line, look for him to surprise in terms of scoring in 2008 according to experts that bet on hockey.
Bet on hockey stats show that the Flyers were 4-1-1 against the Penguins in the regular season last year and also 4-1-1 against the Rangers. Philadelphia devoured the New York Islanders going 5-0-1 against them according to bet on hockey numbers. The Flyers were a great success in their division, going 16-5-3 according to bet on hockey numbers.
Philadelphia got a nice year out of Martin Biron in goal but he is not a Stanley Cup goalie according to bet on hockey experts. He carried them to the Eastern Conference Finals but has rarely played that well on a consistent basis. The future in goal for the Flyers according to experts that bet on hockey is Brad Phillips who is only 19 years old.
What hurt the Flyers in the playoffs was that top defenseman Kimmo Timonen was injured. He was an All-Star and clearly the best player on the team according to experts that bet on hockey. A defenseman that could make a mark this year to help Timonen according to hockey betting experts is Braydon Coburn. He has a strong shot and could make an impact next season. The problem for the Flyers is that they have no depth at defense. Derian Hatcher is overpaid and old and there is not much else according to hockey betting experts.
