Okay I'm a redneck from the south. And I'm going to teach myself to handicap hockey if it kills me. I know most sucessful hockey handicappers are fundimental in nature, but let's just say I was going to start my edification with a technical approach. Is there any articles or posts discussing head to head hockey statistics. Anyone willing to give me a dissertation on the subject? Any derived statistics that are telling? Also, do they post the ref's for the hockey games prior to the start like they do baseball umps? Can Linesmen call penalties also, or just the refs? Damn I'm ignorant when it comes to hockey. Any help is appreciated.
