Hockey Betting Lines
10/30/2008 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Carter's second goal of the game came
with 22.9 seconds to play in overtime as the Philadelphia Flyers downed the
New York Islanders, 3-2, at the Wachovia Center.
On the power play in the extra session after Frans Nielsen was called for
holding, Mike Richards fired a hard pass from the right boards that hit off
the stick of an Islander defender and went to Carter, who wristed it home from
the left side for the win.
Mike Knuble had the other goal while Martin Biron made 34 saves for the
Flyers, who have won four straight after starting the season with six straight
losses.
Bill Guerin and Andy Hilbert each had a goal while Joey MacDonald made 25
saves for the Islanders, who have dropped their past five games.
The Flyers struck first at the 7:45 mark of the opening period. After a right
circle faceoff win, Simon Gagne dug the puck out and dished it back to Steve
Eminger at the right point. Eminger passed the puck back down to Gagne, who
immediately sent it to the slot, where Knuble one-timed it past MacDonald.
The Islanders tied the game 2 1/2 minutes later on the power play as Mark
Streit fired a pass from the right point to the high slot where Guerin one-
timed it past Biron.
Philadelphia, though, took the lead into the first intermission as Ossi
Vaananen blasted a shot from the right point that Carter, parked in front of
the net, redirected past MacDonald for a 2-1 lead with 4:31 left in the frame.
The second period was a scoreless affair as Biron made 13 saves and MacDonald
stopped all eight shots he faced.
New York, though, tied the game with 7:20 to play in the third. Off a left
circle faceoff win, Hilbert had the puck along the right side of the net and
he banked a shot off of Vaananen that went past Biron.
The Islanders started the overtime with a power play, but Biron made several
nice saves to keep the score tied.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
