Canadiens hold off Maple Leafs
Hockey Betting Lines
02/27/2007 -
Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Saku Koivu and Michael Ryder each had a goal
and an assist to give the Montreal Canadiens a big 5-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Bell Centre.
Mike Johnson, Sheldon Souray and Tomas Plekanec each had a goal for the
Canadiens, who have won four of their last five games and now have 72 points,
which moves them into the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference, one ahead of
Carolina.
David Aebischer stopped 32 shots in the win for Montreal.
Bates Battaglia and Bryan McCabe each tallied a goal and an assist for the
Maple Leafs, who have dropped three of four.
Andrew Raycroft stopped only 11-of-16 shots in the loss for Toronto, which
sits in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 69 points. Jean-Sebastien
Aubin relieved Raycroft late in the second period and turned aside all eight
shots he faced.
The Leafs were trailing, 5-2, to start the third period, but scored two quick
goals.
Jeremy Williams scored his second goal in his second NHL game when Battaglia
sent a pass from the right boards to the left circle where Williams one-timed
it into the net just 1:02 into the final frame.
Less than four minutes later, a wrist shot by Alex Steen from the top of the
right circle handcuffed Aebischer to make it a 5-4 game at the 4:40 mark.
However, the Maple Leafs were unable to net the equalizer and the Habs gave
the home crowd a win.
Toronto drew first blood in the contest when Battaglia blasted a one-timer
from the slot that went into the left corner of the net just 4:10 in.
Montreal, though, scored the next three goals and took a 3-1 lead into the
first intermission.
Less than two minutes after the Toronto goal, Alex Kovalev fought off a
defender for several seconds and centered the puck to Plekanec, who tapped it
into the net for his 14th goal of the season.
Skating on the power play, Koivu sent a backhand pass from the right boards to
the right circle where Ryder snapped a wrister over the right shoulder of
Raycroft with 5:48 left in the frame.
In the final minute of the first, Radek Bonk won a right circle faceoff and
drew the puck back to Johnson, who snapped a wrist shot under the blocker of
Raycroft for his 10th goal of the year.
The Maple Leafs cut into their deficit in the second period with a power-play
goal when Mats Sundin left a drop pass at the top of the left circle for
McCabe, who blasted a slap shot through a screen to make it a 3-2 game 1:32
into the stanza.
The Canadiens answered with a power-play goal of their own when Koivu
backhanded a loose puck into the net halfway through the second.
A little over two minutes later, Souray's slap shot from the right point went
under the glove of Raycroft to give the Habs a 5-2 advantage.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
