Thrashers, Canes to face off in clash of surging Southeast squads
Hockey Betting Lines
03/07/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Playing at home has been good as of late for the Atlanta Thrashers, who head back to Philips Arena tonight to take on the Carolina Hurricanes in a Southeast Division showdown.
Atlanta has won its last three tests as the host team and returned from the
NHL's break for the Winter Olympics to post consecutive home victories over
Florida and the New York Islanders. With a win this evening, the Thrashers
will have recorded their longest winning streak at Philips Arena since a
seven-game tear from March 2-18, 2007.
The Thrashers' home success bodes well for a possible postseason berth, as
they will play seven of their next eight games in Atlanta. The club is
currently tied for ninth in the Eastern Conference with 66 points, but just
two behind Montreal for the eighth and final playoff seed.
Atlanta had gone 4-0-2 over its last six overall outings before stumbling at
Tampa Bay last night, with the Lightning coming away with a 6-2 win behind a
three-goal first period. Thrashers goaltender Johan Hedberg was victimized for
all six goals on 30 shots and had a personal three-start winning streak
halted.
"Everybody knows the situation (about the playoffs) and we have to be more
aware when we're out there," forward Nik Antropov remarked afterward.
On a positive note, Niclas Bergfors scored one of Atlanta's two goals and
continued his strong play since coming over from New Jersey as part of the
February 4 trade that sent All-Star wing Ilya Kovalchuk to the Devils. The
young Swede has now netted six goals in seven games since the swap.
Although the Hurricanes are a longshot to reach the postseason after dealing
away a number of veteran players at Wednesday's trade deadline, they've still
been a handful for opposing teams recently. Carolina had ripped off a season-
best seven straight wins before Saturday's 4-1 loss to Florida, and dealt the
Thrashers a 5-2 defeat in their most recent trip to Philips Arena back on
January 21.
Hurricanes captain Eric Staal had a hat trick in that game and has amassed 22
points (10 goals, 12 assists) over his last 18 contests. Forward Jussi
Jokinen, who accounted for Carolina's lone score in last night's setback, has
racked up 14 goals and nine assists over that same stretch.
Goaltender Manny Legace has also been on a strong run since taking over for
the injured Cam Ward as the Hurricanes' main backstop. The veteran has won his
last four starts and surrendered just eight goals during that span.
Rookie Justin Peters was between the pipes for Saturday's game and received
his first NHL loss after allowing three goals on 29 shots. The 23-year-old had
gone 3-0-0 with an outstanding 1.34 goals against average over his first three
starts.
Atlanta had won the first two season meetings between these divisional foes
before that January 21 home loss, but Carolina has prevailed in six of its
last eight matchups as the visitor in this series.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
