Flames aim for revenge against division-rival Wild

Hockey Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Calgary Flames will have an opportunity to avenge a recent shutout loss to the Minnesota Wild when the two Northwest Division foes face off for the second time in less than a week this afternoon at the XCel Energy Center.

The Flames and Wild met in Calgary on Wednesday in the first game for both teams after the NHL's extended break for the Winter Olympics, with Minnesota posting a 4-0 victory behind a terrific performance out of goaltender Nicklas Backstrom. The Finnish netminder outdueled counterpart and countryman Miikka Kiprusoff by turning aside all 29 shots he faced to give the Wild their fourth straight win in this series.

Calgary bounced back strongly in its last outing, however, by coming away with a 5-3 triumph over New Jersey Friday at the Saddledome. The Flames scored three times in the second period to build a two-goal lead entering the third, then extended the margin to 5-1 on tallies by Matt Stajan and David Moss in the final session.

Curtis Glencross, Daymond Langkow and Eric Nystrom also scored for the Flames and Kiprusoff, who saved just 17-of-21 chances in Wednesday's loss to the Wild, came up with 22 stops as Calgary closed out a four-game homestand with a 2-2-0 record.

"[Friday's] game was a game that we needed to play well to have success," said Flames head coach Brent Sutter, a former sideline boss of the Devils. "I know better than anyone what type of team [the Devils] have there. If you want to have success against them you've got to battle and compete. We can't have any average players and [Friday] we had a real solid team effort."

The win pushed Calgary to four points ahead of the Wild in the Western Conference standings after Minnesota lost in a shootout at lowly Edmonton on Friday. The Oilers delivered the 2-1 verdict when Mike Comrie scored in the sixth round of the deciding phase.

Backstrom, who served as Kiprusoff's backup for Finland in the Vancouver Games, finished with 22 saves between regulation and overtime, but the only offense the Wild could generate was a wraparound goal from Guillaume Latendresse in the second period.

"We have no excuses," Minnesota coach Todd Richards said. "We didn't play the way needed to play to win the game. We had opportunities in the end to win, but for the most part for the 60 minutes it wasn't the type of game we needed to play."

The Wild, who are tied with Anaheim for 12th in the crowded Western Conference race and five points out of a playoff spot, will be attempting to gain some ground on a Calgary team they've been able to handle this season. Minnesota has won all three clashes between the clubs in 2009-10, including a 4-1 decision in St. Paul on January 6.

Backstrom has played an instrumental role in the Wild's recent success in this series. In the team's last four meetings with Calgary -- all Minnesota wins -- the 32-year-old has yielded a mere two goals and registered two shutouts for a sparkling 0.49 goals against average.

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.
