BetUS.com: Goals Will Increase Due To NHL Lockoutby RLM Public RelationsCalgary Flames' Jarome Iginla Favored to Most Often "Light the Lamp" Montreal, Quebec - October 3, 2005 How much of an effect will last season's lockout have on this year's NHL season? In anticipation of the NHL's opening night scheduled for this Wednesday, October 5, Bodog.com predicts an increase in scoring. "Bodog.com believes that the time off for the players will have a huge impact on the game," said Mike Foreman, Bodog.com spokesperson. "With team defenses not as strong as they should be, and with the new rule of no grabbing and holding in the neutral zone, we think there's going to be an increase in goals scored this season versus the last regular season in 2003-2004." Continued Foreman, "Among the NHL stars, we're looking at Jarome Iginla of the Calgary Flames to score a lot of goals." According to Bodog.com, Iginla is favored at 2.5 to 1 to have the most goals of any NHL player this upcoming season. In addition to the NHL player scoring the most goals, Bodog.com has posted odds for the player to have the most points. Conversely, Bodog.com also posted odds on which goalie will have the best goals against average. Player to have the most goals Jarome Iginla: 2.5 to 1 Dany Heatley: 4 to 1 Rick Nash: 4 to 1 Markus Nasland: 5 to 1 Ilya Kovalchuk: 6 to 1 Marion Hossa: 8 to 1 Joe Thornton: 9 to 1 Vincent Lecavelier: 10 to 1 Todd Bertuzzi: 12 to 1 Keith Tkachuk: 15 to 1 Jason Spezza: 15 to 1 Player to have the most points (goals+assist) Jarome Iginla: 3.5 to 1 Peter Forsberg: 4.5 to 1 Ilya Kovalchuk: 4.5 to 1 Martin St. Louis: 6 to 1 Dany Heatley: 7 to 1 Markus Naslund: 7 to 1 Joe Sakic: 10 to 1 Daniel Alfredsson: 10 to 1 Vincent Lecavelier: 12 to 1 Marion Hossa: 15 to 1 Player to have the best goals against average Martin Brodeur: 4 to 1 Marty Turco: 5 to 1 Robert Esche: 5 to 1 Mikka Kiprusoff: 5 to 1 Dominik Hasek: 6 to 1 Evgeni Nabokov: 8 to 1 Thomas Vokoun: 8 to 1 Jose Theodore: 10 to 1 Andrew Raycroft: 10 to 1 Ed Belfour: 12 to 1 About Bodog.com Bodog.com is one of the oldest and most respected legal online sports betting organizations in the world and is licensed and bonded in two recognized gaming jurisdictions - Canada and Costa Rica.
