Garon solid in net as Blue Jackets down Ducks
Hockey Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mathieu Garon was strong with 36 saves to lead
the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center.
Fedor Tyutin, Jakub Voracek and Antoine Vermette all recorded a goal and two
assists for the Blue Jackets, who halted a five-game winless skid. Derek
Dorsett and Derick Brassard each added a goal in the victory.
Lubomir Visnovsky and Ryan Getzlaf scored for the Ducks, who remained without
a win (0-3-1) since the Olympic break and will continue their seven-game
homestand on Friday against Nashville.
Jonas Hiller allowed three goals on 20 shots but was pulled in the second
period. Curtis McElhinney, who was acquired last week from Calgary for Vesa
Toskala, turned aside seven shots in relief. Ducks forward Bobby Ryan assisted
on both goals.
Trailing 3-0 in the third period, the Ducks came to life with a pair of goals
to make it interesting.
After Visnovsky's blazing slap shot from the slot brought Anaheim within two
at the 9:11 mark, the Ducks made it 3-2 with 5:04 remaining in regulation when
Getzlaf tallied. Getzlaf fought for control along the rear boards, drifted
with the puck into the left circle and beat Garon with a wrister through
traffic.
However, any chance for an Anaheim equalizer was essentially erased when Ducks
veteran Saku Koivu was whistled for hooking with 2:31 to play. On the ensuring
power play, Vermette's 21st goal -- a backhander between the pads from the
top of the crease -- sealed the victory with 1:58 on the clock.
Brassard capped the scoring in the waning seconds.
The visitors grabbed a 1-0 lead at the 8:55 mark of the opening period. A shot
from the right point was saved by Hiller, but the puck was loose in front.
After several rebound attempts, Dorsett was finally able to poke the puck over
the goal line from the top of the crease amid a scramble.
In the second period, a power-play goal pushed the Columbus edge to two.
Skating 5-on-4, Voracek, from a sharp angle at the base of the left circle,
found room over the short-side shoulder of Hiller with a laser wrist shot at
8:14.
Less than five minutes later, the Blue Jackets moved ahead by three goals.
Tyutin's shot from the top of the left circle hit bodies in front of the
net and the disc caromed directly back to Tyutin, whose momentum at that point
had carried him into the lower portion of the circle. Tyutin's second attempt
made it past a screened Hiller at 13:07.
Game Notes
The Ducks have dropped three straight and six of their last nine home games
against Columbus, which is now 4-3-2 with interim head coach Claude Noel...The
Blue Jackets played without All-Star forward Rick Nash, who left Monday's game
against Los Angeles with a lower-body injury. Fellow forward Kristian Huselius
also missed the game with a hand injury...Anaheim ended scoreless on seven
power-play chances, while the visitors were 3-for-6 with the extra skater.

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.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
