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
