Ice Hockey - Uk Elite League 18-19 February


Recommended Posts

I hadn't realised that any bookies priced up the UK ice hockey until very recently. I have found out betandwin do, so I will see if I can "bet and win" on it for the final month of the regular season plus the play offs. I follow the Nottingham Panthers and go to a dozen or so matches per season, and I will be there for tonights game. The standard of hockey isn't the best, but it is usually a good atmosphere and I think value for money. The attendence at Nottingham averages over 4,000 which isn't bad for a minority sport. It is hard to get team news for the matches, best place for this is probably the teams forums. Can look back at past match reports and stats with a few links for stats, news & results: http://www.eliteleague.co.uk/ http://www.ih-update.co.uk/ The standings: Elite League 18th Feb 2006

my selections: 10 points on Newcastle to bt Basingstoke: Newcastle are priced too short in my opinion away to the bottom side. Newcastle will want to keep the pressure on leaders Belfast and have had 1 defeeat in last 9, while Basingstoke haven't won for 14 games. H2H's are 4-1 in favour of Newcastle this season:

4 pts Coventry to bt Nottingham, 1pt saver on draw: I feel Coventry will have the edge. They are in better form with 6 wins from last 7, and in their last two games they beat Edinburgh 8-2 & Newcastle 5-2. Nottingham won their last two games but they were against the bottom two, they are also up against it as will be missing 3 or 4 imports including Captain Dion Darling who is doubtful, and indications are he won't ice. Nottingham beat Coventry 4-0 at home in their last meeting between the sides 5 weeks ago, but before then hadn't won in 7 meetings at home to the Blaze. These are two evenly matched sides with just 2 points seperating them, so I am covering with the draw. Edinburgh nearly tempt me away to Cardiff but I know they are a missing a few players at the moment from their trip down to Nottignham on Wednesday.

8 pts Belfast to bt sheffield: odds are shorter than I would have liked, but Sheffield are struggling and have taken just two points from last 8. H2H's are 4 wins and a draw from 5 meetings to Belfast. Belfast have won their last 5 league games which has included good away wins 3-0 against cardiff and 2-1 against coventry. 5 pts Edinburgh to bt Basingstoke : Edinburgh won 6-2 in the two sides last meeting. Long trek up for Basingstoke so will have to side with edinburgh who narrowly failed to get a point in cardiff last night and have take 9 points from a possible 12 at home in their last 6 games. Newcastle look too short especially as it will be their 3rd game in 3 days, and against an improving cardiff who have had fairly decent results against newcastle this season. Coventry v Nottingham is a reversal of last night where the sides couldn't be split in what was a fair result. Think Coventry will nick it but too close to call.
