Emery, Flyers blank new-look Flames

Hockey Betting Lines

02/02/2010 - Calgary, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ray Emery posted his third shutout of the season behind 18 saves, and the Philadelphia Flyers topped a new-look Calgary club, 3-0, at the Saddledome.

Mike Richards' 100th NHL goal in the game's second period proved to be the game-winner, while the Flyers' captain added another in the third for his first two-goal game since December 23 against Tampa Bay.

Claude Giroux scored on a breakaway in the third as Philadelphia won the opener of a three-game road trip following a 4-2-0 homestand. Simon Gagne assisted on both Richards' scores.

The Flames, meanwhile, failed to build off their lone win in their previous 10 games following Saturday's 6-1 drubbing of Edmonton. The following day, Calgary pulled off a seven-player trade with Toronto in an effort to shake the team out of the doldrums -- most notably sending defenseman Dion Phaneuf to the Leafs, while receiving four Toronto regulars in return.

Instead, the hosts dropped their seventh game in the last eight at home and moved to 1-7-3 over their last 11 games overall. Miikka Kiprusoff had 24 saves in the loss.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
