Hockey Betting Lines

02/09/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Stewart had a goal and two assists as the Colorado Avalanche downed the St. Louis Blues, 5-2, at Pepsi Center.

Brandon Yip had two goals while Paul Stastny added a goal and an assist for the Avalanche, who have won three of their last four. Craig Anderson stopped 32 shots in the loss.

Eric Brewer and Erik Johnson each lit the lamp for the Blues, who have dropped four of five. Chris Mason started in net but was pulled in the second period after giving up five goals on 15 shots. Ty Conklin finished the game between the pipes and stopped all 18 shots he faced.

With the score tied in the second, the Avs exploded for three goals in the frame to take the lead.

The first one came at the 2:25 mark of the period when Ryan Wilson threw a shot on net from the high slot that hit off of Stewart and went into the net.

About 1 1/2 minutes later, Marek Svatos' forechecking caused a turnover in the St. Louis end, and he threw the puck to the right circle where Stastny lifted a backhander into the right corner.

Just over 2 1/2 minutes after Stastny's goal, Yip's simple wrister from the left circle found its way past Mason, who was pulled in favor of Conklin after the goal, for a 5-2 lead.

In the third period, Anderson was sharp as he stopped all 11 shots he faced to keep St. Louis from gaining any momentum.

St. Louis got on the board just 3:34 into the game on Brewer's sixth goal of the season.

Colorado, though, tied the game just 28 seconds later as T.J. Galiardi received a pass at the right circle and skated into the low slot where he fired a wrister into the top right corner.

Less than four minutes later, Johnson again gave the Blues a one-goal lead on his fifth goal of the season, but Yip's tip-in on the power-play with 3:18 left in the first tied the game back up.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
