At this late stage of the season, we tend to hear the same debate that we hear every year from NHL fans and pundits. The big question that is usually asked is whether or not it is fair that the teams who have made it into the playoffs rest their best players. This is generally debated when said team has to go up against a team that is fighting for their playoff lives. While the NHL would love to see a fair fight every night, the fact of the matter is that the better teams have worked very hard to earn the right to give their big guys a break. This is a scenario that we may well run into when the Washington Capitals head into Denver to face the Colorado Avalanche. The Caps have long since locked up the President’s Trophy for the best record in the league, while the Avs are in danger of being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. We may not know who is playing, and who isn’t, until close to the puck drop, so keep that in mind when you place your wagers at the MyBookie pro hockey betting portal.
