Coach Leaves NHL Against Period

Hockey Betting Lines

The Bruins wasted little time, beating Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov twice in the first 2:50 of the contest.

 

Boston went up 3-0 on a power-play goal by the returning Zdeno Chara. Nine seconds into the man-advantage, Chara, who missed the previous two games with a lower-body injury and earlier in the frame squared off with Philadelphia pugilist Jody Shelley, lit the lamp on a slap shot through traffic from the left point at 8:08.

 

Bryzgalov was pulled after Nathan Horton registered Boston's third consecutive power-play tally at the 7:06 mark of the second period.

 

Tyler Seguin capped the scoring with 7:48 to play.

 

Ottawa, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Ottawa Senators acquired center Kyle Turris from the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday in exchange for defenseman David Rundblad and a second-round draft choice in the 2012 Entry Draft. Turris, 22, was an early season holdout after his initial three-year, entry- level contract expired, making him a restricted free agent. He inked a multi- year contract with the Coyotes on November 22 and has recorded four penalty minutes in six games this season.

 

In 2010-11, Turris established career highs in games (65), goals (11), assists (14) and points (25). He was selected with the third overall pick by Phoenix in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft and has tallied 19 goals, 27 assists and 43 penalty minutes in 137 career NHL contests.

 

Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Darryl Sutter has agreed to become the Los Angeles Kings' next head coach and is likely to be introduced on Tuesday or Wednesday, according to a story on the team's website. Sutter, who signed a multi-year contract, is still working on immigration issues, but is expected to be behind the bench when the Kings play their next home game Thursday against Anaheim.

 

In the Kings, Sutter inherits a team that excels at keeping pucks out of their own net, but struggles to light the lamp. LA is last in the league in scoring (2.13 goals per game).

 

Sutter has 409 career wins as a head coach.

 

Jimmy Howard made 27 saves in the win.

 

Jonathan Quick started in net for Los Angeles but was pulled in the first period after allowing three goals on seven shots. Jonathan Bernier relieved Quick and stopped 15-of-20 shots.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
