A Quick win: Kings edge Flyers in SO

Hockey Betting Lines

01/04/2009 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jonathan Quick recorded 31 saves and stopped both Philadelphia tries in the shootout, as the Los Angeles Kings topped the Flyers, 2-1, at Staples Center.

Wayne Simmonds scored a power-play goal in regulation, while Patrick O'Sullivan and Anze Kopitar lit the lamp in the shootout to help the Kings halt a four-game slide.

Scott Hartnell tallied Philly's lone goal, and Antero Niittymaki made 30 saves in defeat. With the hard-earned point, the Flyers, who are 2-3 on a six-game road trip, moved past the Rangers for first place in the Atlantic Division with 50 points.

Hartnell's back-hander on a penalty shot with 1:40 to play in the first period sailed over the net and the game was scoreless after 20 minutes of play.

The winger made up for the errant try just 3:01 into the second, however, with his 15th goal of the season.

Simmonds tied it on the man-advantage with 3:55 remaining in the middle stanza, as his shot from the top of the left circle went through a screen and between the pads of Niittymaki, who didn't even see the shot.

Niittymaki and Quick made 10 and eight saves, respectively, in the third to keep it knotted at one goal apiece, and neither could get the puck across the goal line in the extra session.

O'Sullivan scored first for the Kings on a wrister, and after Quick stoned Jeff Carter and Mike Richards' attempts, Brown faked a shot in the middle, before his quick wrister beat Niittymaki top shelf to seal the win.

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.
