ODDS TO WIN 2006 STANLEY CUP FROM PINNACLESPORTS.COM
Flyers Favorites To Raise Lord Stanley’s Cup After Year-Long Layoff

WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (October 3, 2005)—After a year away from the ice
following the eventual cancellation of last season because of the lockout,
professional hockey returns Wednesday with the start of the 2005-06 NHL
season. With the true impact of the new salary cap, several rules changes
and mass player movement as yet unknown, the frontrunners for the Stanley
Cup could be any of the league’s 30 teams. To help make sense of all the
changes in the new look NHL, the expert odds makers at PinnacleSports.com
today released odds on who will win the 2006 Stanley Cup.

The Internet’s largest sports betting site, PinnacleSports.com has made
the Philadelphia Flyers the early favorite to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup at
5/1 odds following the additions of Peter Forsberg and Derian Hatcher to
their line up. The return of Todd Bertuzzi from suspension figures to make
the Vancouver Canucks one of the more explosive offensive teams in the
league and has them currently listed with the second best odds to win the
NHL championship at 10/1. A veteran team of All-Stars should lead the Red
Wings (11/1) into contention, while the re-signing of Jarome Iginla along
with the notable additions of Tony Amonte, Daymond Langkow and Roman
Hamrlik could see the 2004 Cup runner-ups Flames bring a championship back
to Calgary (11/1).

While the hockey world will be focusing on rookie phenomenon Sidney
Crosby, he’s just one of ten new players that have joined Mario Lemieux’s
Penguins, currently listed at 12/1 to win the Stanley Cup. Other teams
that appear poised to make a run for the Cup according to
PinnacleSports.com include: the Jason Spezza-led Ottawa Senators (12/1);
the retooled Colorado Avalanche (13/1); Martin Brodeur’s New Jersey Devils
(17/1); and the 2004 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning (20/1).

“After last season’s lockout, old time hockey is back with new rules, a
redrawn rink and lots of big names wearing new sweaters,” said Simon Noble
of PinnacleSports.com. “Anytime you add a player of the caliber of Peter
Forsberg to your squad it improves your chances to win, but the completely
retooled Flyers have a great combination of youth, speed and veteran
leadership to take them to the top. Meanwhile, the Canucks, Flames and
Senators all look like solid contenders to bring the Cup back to Canada
for the first time since 1993.”

PinnacleSports.com will be offering the most comprehensive wagering
options on each game throughout the entire NHL season including: first
period wagering on money lines and totals; spreads, money lines and totals
