$EBR Win Streak Needs To Reach A Win For Each Finger!! Hump Day Hockey
Do I want to bet on the NHL preseason? Yes and here is why. If you know what you are looking for it can be very profitable but also is a nice way to ease back into the NHL season. Preseason is a great look at some young players that could be a few years away from the show but also see the veterans playing pond hockey.
This is a blog that will have:

So here we go…. Remember this is preseason hockey so tread carefully.
GAME: Chicago Blackhawks vs. Detroit Red Wings
TIME: 7:30 P.M EST
Player to watch: Elmer Söderblom - is another player from Sweden found in the late rounds by the Detroit Red Wings scouts that looks to be another diamond in the rough pick. The 6’8” winger will take over as the tallest player in the NHL now that Zdeno Chara has retired. I think this kid has a really solid chance to make the team out of camp. He scored 21 goals in the Swedish Hockey league last year so he obviously has a fantastic shot but his play around the boards and skating are what really stand out. The old saying is you can’t teach size and this kid has plenty. Put him in front of the net on PP and make him show he can handle the banging.
Check the game notes: Detroit pulled a massive upset according to the Barstool Sportsbook last night where they were +400 to win. Now the team travels home tonight and will put the more experienced players on the ice to battle the Hawks. The vets must have seen that game last night and said “whoa we got some gamers coming I better play well to keep my job.” I’ve been bullish on this team since free agency and my 8-hour layover in Detroit, so last night’s game wasn't as big of a surprise to me as to others. Most Wings fans are saying this all the time.. It is part of the Yzerplan and $EBR is here for all of it.
Digging online to find a site that covers the Hawks these days is not easy but I was able to find the lineup for tonight and sorry Barstool Chief but there were only a few names I have heard of. This is not to say this group does not have good players but should not be ready for the Wings. It is a well known rebuilding year in the windy city and they are stuffing the ballot box to get Conor Bedard. This is known as a skeleton lineup.
Murls' BEST BET: Detroit Red Wings 3-way -141
$EBR has been rewarded once again with this massive hot streak with some new merch in the Barstool Sports Store!!!!
