Hockey Betting Lines

02/19/2007 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lubomir Visnovsky scored in the sixth round of the shootout, to lift the Los Angeles Kings to a 4-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center.

Visnovsky added a goal and an assist in regulation and Michael Cammalleri had a goal and two helpers for the Kings, who ended a two-game slide and won for just the fourth time in their last 18 games.

Sean Burke got the start between the pipes for Los Angeles and finished with 39 saves.

Teemu Selanne scored a goal and picked up two assists for the Ducks, who were aiming to win their third consecutive game. With his goal, his 301st with the Ducks, Selanne became all the all-time leading scorer in Anaheim franchise history, moving ahead of Paul Kariya.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere allowed three goals on 24 shots in the loss.

With the shootout tied at two goals apiece after five rounds, Anaheim's Rob Niedermayer was denied in tight by Burke, who stacked his pads to make the save on a wrister.

Visnovsky then won it for Los Angeles after deking down low and sliding a backhander through the pads of Giguere to give LA the extra point.

Visnovsky tallied a power-play goal at 13:04 of the first to open the scoring and give the Kings a 1-0 lead. Cammalleri controlled the puck in the slot and slid a pass to Visnovsky at the left point. He then cranked a slap shot over Giguere's glove for his 15th goal of the season.

The Ducks evened the score at 1-1 just 1:54 into the second stanza after Chris Kunitz tallied his 20th goal of the campaign. Kunitz took a feed from Selanne down low and deposited the disc past Burke on his stick side.

Los Angeles regained the lead and went up 2-1 at 7:46 of the second after Cammalleri fired a wrister from the slot that saw the puck hit off Giguere's glove and over the goal line.

Selanne tied the game early in the third period at 2-2 with his 36th goal of the season. Just 1:01 into the frame, Selanne ripped a quick snap shot from the right circle past Burke on the near side.

Almost three minutes later, Derek Armstrong put the Kings back in front at 3-2 with his 10th goal of the year.

Anaheim continued to fight back and made it 3-3 at 10:34 of the third. On the power play, Selanne centered a pass to the slot to Ryan Getzlaf, who one-timed the feed past Burke.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
