Morning Coffee: Recapping a rough night for Canadian NHL teams. MORE:
Scoring was down almost across the board as the under also went a combined 8-2.With the NFL, CFL, NBA, NHL and college football seasons underway, you might not be ready for a deep dive into college basketball just yet.With scoring down across the board in the NBA, and with consideration to the lower-scoring numbers that we saw in other leagues earlier this year, I was looking forward to seeing how college athletes would fare early on this season.
Call it what you want, but the anticipation that totals would be slightly lower than expectation played out on opening night. Sure, it’s only one night. It’s a sample size, right? However, as someone who placed a wager or 10 on college basketball totals last night, I thought it was worth sharing. Five of the six Canadian NHL teams in action last night were betting favourites.The San Jose Sharks gave us the biggest upset of the night with a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames.
The upset snapped Calgary’s 10-game point streak. After a 6-1-1 start, the Flames have now dropped three of their past four. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings handed the Edmonton Oilers just their second regulation loss of the season with a 4-2 win.
