it's pretty much non-existent. it's all about individual player effort on a given night. they just cannot get up for every game. with this dumbass shootout rule they play for ties to get a guaranteed point. no one has a clue and the bookies spread the money line too wide to ensure they will make money. hot team theory works but once again the books are way ahead of the bettor. someone on here claims that hockey unders are the way to go. seems like scoring is up this year from last however. stick to college hoops and try to get lucky on those.
