Bertuzzi's OT goal lifts Flames over Wild

Hockey Betting Lines

12/17/2008 - St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bertuzzi's goal with 1:12 left in overtime, his first in 20 games, sent Calgary past Minnesota, 3-2, at the Xcel Energy Center.

On the game-winner, Daymond Langkow dove inside the Wild blueline at the left point to keep a loose puck in the zone. The disc slid all the way to the open Bertuzzi in the slot and he lifted a backhander high and inside the right post to give Calgary the win.

Bertuzzi's drought extended back to November 2 at Anaheim, the club for which he played last season.

Langkow and Craig Conroy tallied in regulation for the Flames, who have won two in a row.

"We've been playing well on the road as of late," Bertuzzi said. "We've shored things up in all three zones. It's a good way to go heading back home and nice to get points in the division."

Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 25 shots for his 18th win of the season.

Andrew Brunette had a goal and one assist for the Wild, who have lost six consecutive games and fell to 1-6-1 in December. Marian Gaborik, in his first game back since missing two months with a hip injury, scored the tying goal late in regulation and added a helper.

Niklas Backstrom allowed three goals on 30 shots for his fifth defeat in six starts.

Calgary picked up the game's first goal with 7:03 left the second period. Langkow carried down the left wing near the goal line and dished into the slot, where the puck caromed off a Minnesota player and into the net.

Brunette answered for Minnesota less than a minute later, but Conroy lifted a wrister over Backstrom's glove at 16:25 for the Flames' go-ahead tally.

Gaborik forged a 2-2 deadlock with 4:43 left in regulation, left alone in the slot to slam home Brunette's centering feed.

"We're in a little bit of a rut here, having trouble putting 60 minutes together," noted Brunette. "It's killing us right now."

Game Notes

Calgary won six of eight meetings a year ago...Gaborik's only other goal this season came on October 14 in Atlanta...The Flames begin a five-game homestand by hosting the Blackhawks on Friday, while the Wild host the Islanders also on Friday.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
