While the team has ability, it also comes up short each spring, so NHL wagering online anticipations for the Bruins are mixed for the 2010-11 year. Boston has opened as a +1400 choice at the sportsbook to win the Stanley Cup this year after a crushing playoff loss to the Philadelphia Flyers last year.

History was made – As they went down to defeat vs the Philadelphia Flyers, the Bruins became the 1st team since the 1975 Pittsburgh Penguins to blow a 3-0 lead in a Stanley Cup playoff series in online casino sports gambling. The season prior to that the Bruins entered playoff action as the top seed in the Eastern Conference and what was expected to be a serious run for a Stanley Cup ended with an early round upset loss. The Bruins last won the Stanley Cup all the way back in 1972 with Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, and Gary Cheevers making the type of history that long suffering Bruins fans are hoping to experience once more this season.

Julien is back – Head coach Claude Julien, who’s done such a fine job in the regular season, is back for another attempt at Lord Stanley’s Cup. It will likely cause a pink slip for Julien if they have another early playoff exit.

Added Weapons – As they rated 30th in the league for scoring, Boston was one of the worst offensive teams in NHL online sports betting odds last year. It was not the type of offense that can overcome reliable playoff teams such as the Flyers, who won the series based in big part due to the fact of their better quick strike capability. By picking up Tyler Seguin and Nathan Horton just a month after the playoff debacle, Boston general manager Pete Chiarelli turned a negative into a positive. Horton is viewed to be an underachiever with plenty of upside at 25 years old. He scored 57 points last year and Chiarelli thinks he is capable of a lot more.

Seguin is regarded to be another potential asset with NHL wagering online odds makers as he has a excellent skill set and big size. Julien will be charged with bringing that out this year.

Promising Goaltender -Tuuka Rask won the starting job at goaltender last year and had a phenomenal save percentage of .931 while scoring 22 NHL wagering wins with a 1.97 goals vs average. At 23 years old he is set to be an established fixture in Beantown.
