Canadiens invite struggling Bruins to Montreal
Hockey Betting Lines
02/07/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins will try to avoid tying the longest
losing streak in franchise history when they visit the rival Montreal Canadiens for today's Northeast Division clash at Bell Centre.
The Bruins have gone the last 10 games without a win, posting an 0-6-4 record
since their last victory on January 14 in San Jose. Boston hasn't dropped 11
in a row since losing that many during a franchise-record slide from December
3, 1924-January 5, 1925.
Boston's cold streak has dropped the club into a tie for 11th place in the
Eastern Conference, but the Bruins are still just two points away from the
East's final playoff spot.
The Bruins picked up a point in their latest defeat, as they lost in a
shootout Saturday afternoon against visiting Vancouver. Pavol Demitra scored
with 4:42 left in regulation to tie the game, then registered the lone goal of
the shootout, as the Canucks skated to a 3-2 decision at TD Garden.
Zdeno Chara and Michael Ryder scored for Boston, which is a brutal 1-9-4 since
posting a 4-1 win at Ottawa on January 5. Tuukka Rask turned aside 29-of-31
shots in the loss.
Boston has managed just two goals or fewer in nine straight games and has just
13 tallies over that span.
Today marks the start of a four-game road trip for Boston, which is 10-10-5 as
the visiting team this year.
Montreal, meanwhile, has won its last three games and is currently sixth in
the East with 62 points -- five points more than Boston.
The Canadiens earned a victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions on
Saturday, as Brian Gionta recorded two goals and one assist to lift Montreal
to the 5-3 win over the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins.
Tomas Plekanec had a goal and two helpers for the Canadiens, who have won
three in a row for the first time since tying a season-high with four straight
victories from December 19-26.
Scott Gomez and Mathieu Darche also tallied while Jaroslav Halak stopped 18
shots for the win.
Canadiens defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron missed Saturday's game with a lower-
body injury and is questionable for this afternoon's test.
Montreal, which is playing the middle portion of a three-game homestand today,
is 14-11-4 as the host this year. The Canadiens will complete the residency
Wednesday night against Washington.
The Canadiens have won all three meetings with the Bruins this year and posted
a 3-2 shootout win in Boston last Thursday. Montreal has taken 15 of 20
overall in the series and the Bruins have dropped nine of their last 11 games
at Bell Centre.

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.
