Haven't seen any new bookie rules yet, but some notes:
first of all, allowing two line pass does not increase number of goals. at least it didn't in Europe where you could think it matters more because of bigger ice. Last five seasons Finnish sm-league average has been, for top eight teams, less than three scored goals and less than 2.4 allowed goals. Even the worst team has been under six with scored+allowed goals ( one year 6.01 ).
Over time included, penalty shots not.
teams tactics will be very defense based, kind of New Jersey 5 years a go or 2+2+1 style = boring game with break throughs.
At least i'm looking for under games even with 5? total. i doubt that bookies will go straight to 6? because of pretty sure over time goal. possibly they start giving 5? for regular time ?
all so it is interesting to see how moneyline numbers and rules will be and if there are differences between bookies rules.
delicious situation for doggie plays early in the season, old power numbers are gone for good.
can't wait season to start.....
