    And so a new season is finally upon us once again!

    Last year was a great year in terms of my overall profits and once again I came out profitable, per usual!
    There were ups & downs and the inevitable losing streaks, but I've always maintained a successful capping system to which I strictly adhere to come high or hell water. Since my foray into the NHL betting scene, I have not had a single losing season. A remarkable feat that less than 0.1% are able to attest.

    Moving forward, I would again like to share a few of my select plays throughout the year as I have done previously. Bottom line here is we're all here to make money. The variables are endless, but I absolutely believe I've solved this game down to the molecular level so to speak. What the general public observes as inconsequential minutiae, I on the other hand see as valuable data, which ultimately differentiates a "pro capper" to a "square". 

    I will document all of my plays & keep detailed records inside this thread for the naysayers, disbelievers, skeptics who may have the audacity to discredit the veracity of my claims. 

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Canucks vs. Flames 

    The perpetually awful Calgary Flames have been in a state of dismal failure for oh... a decade. 10 years ago they were in the Cup finals only to lose to the Lightning. Since then, this organization has been in a tailspin into despair. This team should be stamped on the side of a milk carton with the caption that reads "MISSING". The futility of rising past the mediocre label and surprising skeptics is a dying man's last wish. 

    Losing all-star Mike Cammalleri in the off season did nothing but make this team worse. He was a proven veteran that highly contributed offensively while providing the much needed leadership that this young, fragile, inexperienced team needs.

    Adding no significant upgrades is the more damning point of significance here. The cast off journeymen additions of Mason Raymond & Devon Setaguchi is a band-aid solution at best. To make my point evidently more clear: These 2 players were a tryout away from not having a job anymore in the NHL as their previous employers kicked them to the curb. In terms more readily understood: They just couldn't cut the mustard! Don't expect any worthwhile contributions from these two inconsistent has-beens. 

    Shoring up the goaltending position is Jonas Hiller. A once proven goalie his tenure at starter's spot was short lived with the sudden emergence of younger, cheaper and more reliable goalies in J.Gibson & F.Andersen. Again, that left no room for the easily expendable Hiller. Do you see a trend here? The Flame's affinity to acquire other teams "damaged goods". Hiller is simply past his prime and with a fragile defense core I expect he will at some point be demoted to backup just like in Anaheim. 

    The Vancouver Canucks rid themselves of a notoriously hot head coach in John Tortorella. They revamped their coaching staff and brought in a fresh brilliant minded offensive coach in Willy Desjardins. They also appointed long time fan favorite and long time former Canuck Trevor Linden as President while naming a new GM Jim Benning formerly Bruins Assistant GM. 

    Make no mistake, this is a revitalized team with a new identity, mojo, swag or whatever you want to call it. A key free agent signing in Radim Vrbata has the makings to not only be the steal of the century but the holy grail piece to compliment the dynamic duo of the Sedins. To say I am bullish on this line is an understatement but this very well could be the top producing line in the NHL.  

    The key addition of superstar goalie Ryan Miller and dismissal of unreliable diva Roberto Luongo will make it almost impossible to score on the Canucks. With the league's best backup goalie this Canuck's team has the best 1-2 goalie tandem bar none. Exciting key additions include Linden Vey, Nick Bonino & Derek Dorsett. 

    While I do not expect the Canucks to be a powerhouse or a division leader I am compelled to call them a team that will surprise a lot of heads. A note of emphasis will undoubtedly be placed on scoring goals. Playoff bound or not you will find this team to have some incredible value in certain spots as the season moves along. Losing 4 cancer personalities in Luongo, Kesler & Torterella & Gillis alone is one giant leap for this organization. 

    You can quote me when I say this team will unequivocally make some noise. You could also take a flier on them winning the Cup @ 33/1

    By the way Ryan Miller sucks. He played behind one of the best defenses in the league last year. What do you think is going to happen with the Canucks? They are lazy, heartless and not nearly as talented as St Louis...just my 2 cents though.

    It didn't type every thing but what I was saying is he played behind one of the best defenses and still got lit up when it was crunch time. I think it's a nice catch for Vancouver but he's not gonna be as solid as one would think behind the Canucks D

    i'd take a wait and see approach...  

    there's a reason why st louis didn't resign miller...maybe it was too much money, or perhaps the fact he didn't impress much in the postseason....how'd that st louis run go ?   before dropping 4 straight to chicago, they had to pull miracle comebacks to win the first two in OT

    as many people know, the west is more competitive than the east, and travel is more difficult also.  Miller and co will find out real quick as van takes on teams like LA, CHI, and SJ.

    like i said, just watch a few games first

    Wow lots of hostility for ol Artie! Although he does come off a tad arrogant and his first few sentences were all just patting himself on the back, I do appreciate a detailed write up even if I don't agree with everything that was written. Not all his plays are terrible. I remember early in the season last year when the Sharks were a -400 something fav and he was very confident on the dog and it hit so.....

    Not taking a side here, just kind of feel bad for him with all the bashing going on. Carry on...

    Hey hey easy now  would have to agree with you a bit though. interesting to see what happens. high expectations for this team but honestly see us as a wildcard team at best. not enough depth and our bottom pair D men and second line are questionable

    not a savior

    W1-L0 Profit:$2640

    Last year the Colorado Avalanche exceeded everyone's expectations. One could argue they took 1 step back with the loss of star P.Stasny only to add 2 steps forward with proven perennial All-Stars in Briere & Iginla. I can't stress enough how crucial these new additions were to further invigorate this club's deadly offensive attack! The avalanche possess 3 capable lines that can score at will at any given moment.

    Already 2 games in, the Avalanche have played a murderer's row in Bruins & Wild. A match with the Leafs will see a proven Western Conference team bully a weaker Eastern Conference opponent in the Leafs. The style of play here will dictate a high uptempo offensive first scoring bonanza. I see the Leafs down early which will force them to play open up with a lot open ice rushes 2on1's and breakaways.

    Now let's look at the Toronto Maple leafs. This is a team that cannot be trusted, period! A team this fragile has no business instilling any confidence to bettors much less their fan base. They brought in a new President in Brenden Shanahan and fired their entire Assistant Coahing save. Had their Head Coach Randy Caryle not recently signed an extension he too would have been given a pink slip. The type of player's the Leafs have just doesn't mesh with Carlyle's system.

    We have the Leafs with a proven scoring line who also spend a lot of time in their own zone. Now the major cause for concern is the Leafs defense! The newly acquired S.Robidas is old, washed up & susceptible defensively. While I do agree R.Polak was a good pick up from St.Louis as a steady "stay at home" D-man, he is in way over his head not having the stable core base like he did with Shattenkirk, Bouwmeester, Petriangelo, Jackman, Leopold. 

    And finally we have tonight's starter James Reimer. He is the team's backup and quite frankly a "headcase". Concussion problems have plagued his career. As a result his play has suffered drastically letting in soft goals galore. For every 1 good game he will have 5 poor games. Even I could light him up and I don't play hockey!

    I see major defensive liabilities in Phaneuf, Robidas, Rielly, Franson. Will they be able to contain the firepower of the Avalanche? Not a chance in hell!!

    They have firepower. Minny plays trap. especially when they get a lead. Boston, i think we can all agree is one of the best defensive teams in the game. I think he has a winner. I will eat my shoes if the leafs hold Colorado to 2 or less.

    W1-L1 Profit:$640

    This is purely a mathematical numbers play! The Oilers have played 4 games and have yet to win a game. In terms of probability they should be able to win the 5th game. Factors in play here: They already played the Canucks and looked good. The Oiler's are playing at home and I see the league gifting the Oiler's with more PP opportunities than the Canucks. The Oiler's coach Eakins is on the hot seat and is going to do his best to have this team prepared. The team was embarrassed after their home fans threw Oiler's jerseys on ice after their home loss. It won't be easy but they squeek a W here.
