Eagles capture NCAA championship
Chockey Betting Lines
04/12/2008 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nathan Gerbe posted two goals and two assists
to help the Boston College Eagles capture their third NCAA championship with
a 4-1 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Ben Smith registered a goal and two assists for the Eagles, who captured their
first title since 2001. Boston College was making its third straight
appearance in the championship game. Last year, the Eagles lost to Michigan
State, 3-1. In 2006, Boston College fell to Wisconsin, 2-1.
John Muse made 20 saves to earn the victory.
Kevin Deeth netted the lone goal for the Fighting Irish, who reached the title
game for the first time in the program's 40-year history. Jordan Pearce
allowed four goals on 23 shots in defeat.
Following a defensive first period in which scoring chances were kept at a
premium, the Eagles got on the board at the 2:23 mark of the second. Off the
cycle, Brian Gibbons sent a backhand pass from the goal line for Gerbe, who
ripped a shot from the bottom of the left circle high over the glove of
Pearce.
Boston College grabbed a 2-0 lead with a power-play goal. Notre Dame's Ryan
Thang was called for interference and the Eagles quickly went to work. Gerbe
threaded a pass to Smith, whose laser from the slot sailed wide of the net
and bounced off the end boards. Gerbe jumped on the loose puck at the right
side of the goal and stuffed it past Pearce at 5:37 of the second.
Another goal with the man-advantage, gave the Eagles a commanding 3-0 lead in
the second. Joe Whitney rifled a slap shot from the high slot that deflected
off the right skate of Notre Dame defenseman Teddy Ruth and beat Pearce on the
stick side at 8:11.
The Fighting Irish responded less than a minute later, as they took advantage
of a poor line change by BC. Deeth gathered a cross-ice feed from Kyle Lawson
and fired a shot from the left circle that found room in the far side of the
net at 9:07.
Notre Dame appeared to narrow the deficit to 3-2 at 4:56 of the third period.
Originally ruled a goal by the official, the play underwent a lengthy review
and the footage revealed that Lawson used a distinct kicking motion to propel
the puck into the net.
Shortly after the disallowed tally, Gerbe made a backhand pass between his
legs to get the puck out front to Smith, whose shot eluded Pearce at 5:31.
Notre Dame threw everything it had left at Muse, but couldn't mount a
comeback, and, as the final seconds ticked off the clock, the Eagles players
spilled off the bench to celebrate their victory.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
