Betting Action Heats Up for Exciting Saturday NHL Game
Punters are flocking to their favorite betting sites as National Hockey League action heats up.
Today, the Montreal Canadiens meet the Toronto Maple Leafs in an early Saturday game.
For the first time, the Hockey Night, Canada's oldest sports related TV program, will air the game in 3D.
Jim Hughson, the play-by-play announcer for Saturday's game said: "It's like dabbling your toes in the water and trying to get a feel for it."
Hughson wasn't too keen on 3D broadcasting until he watched the 2010 NHL Winter Classics in this format and became a convert.
"I put the glasses on and was absolutely blown away," he said.
