Bruins keep rolling by flattening Blues in St. LouisHockey Betting Lines12/21/2008 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie Blake Wheeler scored twice as the Boston Bruins doubled up the St. Louis Blues, 6-3, at the Scottrade Center. Michael Ryder posted a goal and an assist and David Krejci collected three helpers for the Bruins, who have won five in a row and improved to 19-2-1 in their last 22 games. Phil Kessel recorded two assists to extend his points streak to an NHL-best 18 games. The fifth overall pick in the 2006 draft, Kessel has 14 goals and 14 assists during his amazing run, which is the longest such streak by a Bruin since Adam Oates recorded points in 20 straight games from January 7 through February 20, 1997. Manny Fernandez made 29 saves to earn his 11th win of the season. Before the game, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli provided an update on the condition of center Patrice Bergeron, who was injured in Saturday's 4-2 win over Carolina. "After first being treated at the TD Banknorth Garden yesterday, Patrice was diagnosed as having sustained a concussion and was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital under the care of Dr. Peter Asnis. Since being admitted to MGH, Patrice has undergone extensive testing, and all of his results have come back normal. When examined this morning, his condition had improved greatly over last night, and he was released from the hospital. There is no timetable for his return to the ice." Bergeron missed all but 10 games last season while recovering from a severe concussion suffered in a game versus Philadelphia on October 27, 2007. Jay McClement, Brad Winchester and Yan Stastny scored for the Blues, who have dropped six of their last seven games. Manny Legace was victimized in defeat for five goals on 23 shots and subsequently pulled in the third period. Chris Mason made five saves over the final 20 minutes. Wheeler opened the scoring at the 2:27 mark of the first period, one-timing a feed from Krejci, and scored a short-handed tally on a fantastic individual effort at 4:59, going through three players and stuffing his own rebound. Winchester's power-play marker put St. Louis on the board at 6:18, then McClement netted a short-handed goal, tying the score with 3:09 remaining in the first. Hnidy lit the lamp while up a man 53 seconds later to restore the lead for Boston. Stastny evened the score 2:46 into the middle stanza, but Ryder's power-play goal put the Bruins up for good at 9:34. P.J. Axelsson held the puck along the left boards, found a seam and slipped a cross-ice pass to Ryder, who ripped a shot past Legace. Boston grabbed a two-goal advantage with 3:03 remaining in the second period. Milan Lucic played the puck along the wall to Kessel and he carried down the right wing. The young sniper then sent a pass to the slot for Marc Savard, who snapped a wrister over the glove of Legace. Vladimir Sobotka added a tally in the third period for Boston. Game Notes The Bruins snapped a seven-game winless streak in St. Louis, registering their first win since a 7-4 victory on October 17, 1995. Boston had also dropped seven straight overall to the Blues dating back to 2001...Boston finished 2- for-4 on the power play, while the Blues went 1-for-3...Bruins captain Zdeno Chara had two assists...Boston continues its five-game road swing at New Jersey on Tuesday.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino. The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1. MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5. Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

FOOTBALL BETTING LINESNFL Football Sports BettingTwo playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count. New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend. His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates. HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game. The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup. RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day. First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08. The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition. These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years. New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
