Now I don’t believe in raining on anyone’s parade, so if sports betting makes you feel more excited about games or player performances, I’m glad for you–but it’s just not for me. I don’t enjoy sports betting. You’ll have to excuse my eye-roll as The Athletic’s Jesse Granger insists that Ville Husso’s win total is one of several “prop bets” worth spending money on this upcoming season:
Ville Husso under 26.5 goalie wins: Husso had an excellent start to last season, but eventually ran out of gas and struggled down the stretch. Detroit responded by brining in James Reimer to lighten Husso’s workload. And while that’s probably a good move for the Red Wings, it’s not for Husso’s win total.
Husso hasn’t won more than 26 games in a season in his career, and it’s been seven years since the last time any Red Wings goalie did it.
Bah, humbug.
