With their Game 3 win over the hawks in the 2010 stanley cup betting event, Philadelphia are finally on the board. All they needed was a little home cookin’ to get this team the hockey wagering win and make the competition interesting. They say that an NHL playoff wagering series doesn’t start until a team is victorious on the road yet the way this tournament is heading it might never begin.

What a tournament it’s been! Home ice advantage has been vital thus far in this hockey wagering tournament. TheNHL sports books, sports wagering followers and the online betting websites all picked the hawks to win by a landslide proceeding into the stanley cup in 2010 gambling competition.

Why not? A straightforward tale of the hockey gambling tape weighed heavily in the hawks favor. Chicago had a much better record through the NHL gambling season (52-22-8; 112 points), had a higher playoff betting seed (#2) and had beaten much better teams in the NHL playoff wagering competition (Vancouver and San Jose). Proceeding into the Stanley Cup wagering, it also had 2 of the 3 leading scorers in the NHL playoff wagering event (Jonathon Toews 26 points, Patrick Kane 21 goals).

But the Phillies have shown the sports gambling world what they are all about and time after time this NHL playoff betting season proved the NHL probabilities makers wrong. Toews and Kane are all but nullified from this series by the Philadelphia Flyers. They have played hard defense and gotten lots of good looks at the goal. In fact, the Flyers could in fact be leading this hockey wagering series 3- right now with a little better luck.

It’s hard to say that one player or the other was the hero when nearly everyone on the Philadelphia roster stepped up big in Game 3. But one player that did have a great impact on this hockey gambling score but did not always appear in the box score was Philadelphia Flyer defense man Chris Pronger. Pronger was everywhere in this Stanley Cup gambling game; body checking on end, taking pucks, leading the break and setting up several points in this hockey wagering matchup. He was the Flyers MVP in this hockey betting game though he formally only had one particular assist on the stat sheet.

This Stanley Cup betting tournament burst out of the blocks with a 6-5 goal scoring blast that none of the NHL odds makers forecasted. In reality, the Hawks were lucky to win that game. Game 2 was another 1 goal victory for Chicago (2-1) and, once more, that NHL wagering matchup might have gone in either direction as the Philadelphia Flyers got a flurry of shots on goal in the closing minutes but could not convert.

Therefore it was just appropriate that in Game 3 the Philadelphia Flyers won by another 1-goal margin and offered the home crowd hockey gambling enthusiasts something to be thrilled about as the teams plan Game 4 of the Stanley Cup gambling tournament in Philly.
