Hockey Betting Lines

02/04/2012 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves as the Pittsburgh Penguins edged the Boston Bruins, 2-1, at TD Garden.

Evgeni Malkin and Matt Cooke tallied goals for the Penguins, winners in nine of their last 10 games.

Joe Corvo lit the lamp and Tim Thomas stopped 26-of-28 shots for Boston, which lost for the third time in four tries.

Boston's Rich Peverley was whistled for a slashing penalty with 44 seconds left in the first period and the Penguins, who were held to just three shots up until that point, capitalized.

After Pittsburgh won a neutral zone faceoff, James Neal took a slap shot from the top of the right circle that was stopped by Thomas, who then kicked aside a rebound attempt by Chris Kunitz, but Malkin found the disc to the left of the net and stuffed it home with 8.1 seconds left in the period.

The Bruins failed to convert on a four-minute power play for a high sticking double minor in a scoreless second period, and the Penguins added to their lead 1:53 into the third.

Pittsburgh raced down the ice on a rush and after Pascal Dupuis' backhander from the right of the net was saved, Cooke crashed the net and swatted the bouncing rebound into the twine for a two-goal cushion.

That goal would deem necessary as Corvo floated a wrister from the right point that sailed into the net through a screen at the 6:45 mark. Fleury, though, closed the door from there, stopping eight shots in the period en route to Pittsburgh's fourth straight victory over the Bruins in Boston.

Game Notes

Boston fell to 17-9-2 at home this season, while Pittsburgh improved to 15-11-2 as the guest...Boston went 0-for-2 on the power play...Pittsburgh was 1-for-3 on the man advantage...Malkin's goal gave him an NHL-leading 60 points on the year. He sits one point ahead of Philadelphia's Claude Giroux.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
