NHL teams consider legal action against new online casino
The NHL teams are considering legal action against a new online casino that is using the logos and trademarks of the teams without permission. The casino is using the logos and trademarks on its website, social media profiles, and in marketing materials.
The NHL teams argue that the use of their logos and trademarks without permission is a violation of their trademark rights. They are asking the casino to stop using their logos and trademarks, and are threatening to take legal action if the casino does not comply.
This is not the first time that the NHL teams have had to deal with unauthorized use of their trademarks. In the past, they have taken legal action against companies that have used their logos and trademarks without permission.
The NHL teams are hoping that by taking legal action against this new online casino, they can send a message to other companies that want to use their trademarks without permission. They also hope to recover damages from the casino for the unauthorized use of their trademarks.
Chicago Blackhawks among teams to bet on in new online Hockey League gambling venture
The NHL is partnering with MGM Resorts International to offer hockey fans the chance to gamble on games through a new online platform. The Chicago Blackhawks are among the teams that sports bettors can wager on in the new venture.
The league's announcement comes as several states move to legalize sports betting in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling last year that struck down a federal ban. MGM has already been offering bets on other sports through its website.
Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz said he is "open-minded" about the gambling venture and is looking forward to seeing how it develops. "As long as it's done in a responsible way, I think it could be fun for people," he said.
The NHL is the latest professional sports league to get into the gambling business. The NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball have all reached deals with casinos and other gambling entities in recent years.
Legalized sports betting is seen as a way to grow the NFL's audience and increase fan engagement. The NBA has said that gambling could add $1 billion to its annual revenues. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has also been bullish on gambling, saying that it could eventually account for $10 billion of the sport's annual revenues.
While there are some concerns about the potential for match-fixing and other nefarious activities, most observers believe that legalized sports betting will be good for the leagues involved and for fans of the games.
Boston Bruins lead the way with odds to win the Stanley Cup at the sportsbook
The Bruins are the favorites to win the Stanley Cup at most sportsbooks, with odds of 5-1. They have one of the best offenses in the league, averaging 3.5 goals per game. They also have a Vezina Trophy candidate in goalie Tuukka Rask.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are next in line, with odds of 6-1. Led by captain Steven Stamkos, they boast one of the top offenses in the league, averaging 3.2 goals per game.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are not far behind, with odds of 8-1. Auston Matthews has been one of the top freshmen players in the NHL this season and leads the team with 24 goals.
The Nashville Predators are next at 10-1. Led by superstar defenseman P.K. Subban, they have one of the best defenses in the league, allowing just 2.5 goals per game.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are also at 10-1 odds. Sidney Crosby continues to lead the way for Pittsburgh and is currently in second place in League scoring with 66 points.
Washington Capitals among favorites to take home the President's Trophy
The Washington Capitals enter the 2017-2018 NHL season as one of the favorites to take home the President's Trophy. The Capitals are coming off a season in which they won the Eastern Conference and reached the Stanley Cup Finals. This season, they return most of the same players and should be just as competitive.
Some of the key players for the Capitals this season include goaltender Braden Holtby, defenseman John Carlson, and forwards Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Holtby is coming off a Vezina Trophy-winning season and will look to lead the Capitals back to the Stanley Cup Finals. Carlson had a breakout year last season and should continue to be one of the team's top defensemen. Ovechkin and Kuznetsov are two of the best forwards in the league and will be looked at to carry much of the offensive load for Washington.
The Metropolitan Division is once again expected to be tough, with teams such as the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets expected to contend. However, the Capitals should be able to hold their own against anyone in the league. They have proven that they are one of the top teams in the NHL and should be considered one of the favorites to win it all this season.
