Corvo, Walker lead Caps against Hurricanes
Hockey Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Both Joe Corvo and Scott Walker were given a chance to
compete on a championship-caliber team when they were traded by the Hurricanes
to the Capitals before the trade deadline. One week later, they get to show
off in front of their old club.
Corvo and Walker will square off against their former mates tonight when
Washington tries to avoid a second consecutive defeat at Verizon Center versus
a Carolina squad that is making a late playoff push despite being sellers at
the deadline.
The Capitals have been on fire since early January, going 20-2-3 over their
last 25 games while jumping out to a 31-point edge over the second-place
Thrashers for the top spot in the Southeast Division. They also lead the
Penguins by 13 points for the top spot in the Eastern Conference and the
Sharks by four points for the most in the NHL.
Washington has also earned a point in six of its last seven games, going 3-1-3
in that span. That includes Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to Dallas that halted
the Caps' home winning streak at 11 games.
Tom Poti and Alex Ovechkin scored in the first and second periods
respectively, but the Stars scored three times in the third frame. Ovechkin,
though, netted the game-tying goal with 3:16 left in the third before the
team's five-round shootout loss to the Stars and goaltender Marty Turco, who
stopped a career-high 49 Washington shots.
Semyon Varlamov stopped 23 shots in the loss, Washington's first at home since
December 28 to Carolina.
"It's not everyday you throw 52 shots on net," said Washington head coach
Bruce Boudreau. "We've seen what [Turco] can do when he's at the top of his
game, and tonight he was at the top of his game."
Ovechkin snapped a season-long six-game goal drought and moved into a tie with
Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby for the league lead in goals with 44. Ovechkin is
also tops in the NHL with 92 points and posted his fifth consecutive 300-shot
season.
The Hurricanes had lost their first two games versus the Capitals this year
before that victory at Verizon Center on December 28 behind two goals and
three assists from Eric Staal. It was only Carolina's fourth win in its last
11 versus Washington overall and its third in nine trips to D.C.
Despite entering this game nine points back of playoff spot, the Hurricanes
still opted to deal defenseman Corvo and winger Walker to the Capitals last
week in separate trades, just a few of the handful of deals Carolina made
before the deadline.
The club has yet to slow down, winning seven straight prior to Saturday's loss
to Florida. However, Carolina got right back in the win column on Sunday with
a 4-0 triumph over Atlanta for its first shutout of the season. Manny Legace
made 27 saves for his 24th career shutout and first since April 5, 2008 while
with St. Louis.
"[The Thrashers] are so talented you just got to be on top of your game all
night," Legace said. "My defense played phenomenal in front of me all night
long."
Jussi Jokinen had a goal and an assist while Brandon Sutter, Joni Pitkanen,
and Rod Brind'Amour also lit the lamp for the victors. Sutter now has four
goals and four assists over a six-game point streak.

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.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
