Michigan State topples BC; captures NCAA championship
Chockey Betting Lines
04/08/2007 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Abdelkader's goal with 18.9 seconds
left in regulation was the game-winner, as Michigan State claimed its third
championship in school history with a 3-1 win over Boston College at Scottrade
Center in St. Louis.
Tim Kennedy had a goal and an assist for the Spartans, who ended the season
with five straight wins. Chris Mueller also tallied and Jeff Lerg stopped 28
shots.
"BC was coming to the net hard all game, but I knew if I made key saves,
we'd have a chance, because we could not play their game," said Lerg. "In the
end, we outplayed them."
Brian Boyle scored the lone goal for the Eagles, who saw their 13-game win
streak snapped in cruel fashion. Cory Schneider stopped 26 shots in the loss,
BC's second consecutive finals defeat.
Michigan State claimed the championship by scoring three times on a passive
Boston College team in the third period.
Kennedy answered to tie the game for Michigan State on a power-play goal at
9:53, breaking away from two BC checkers and scoring low and inside the left
post.
Then, with the clock ticking down towards overtime, Michigan State kept
pressure on in the Eagles' defensive zone. Kennedy broke down the right side
and clanged a shot off the right goalpost. He followed the puck behind the
goal line and emerged from a scrum with the disc and fed in front to
Abdelkader, who slipped the puck by Schneider for a 2-1 lead.
"It was an unbelievable play," Abdelkader said. "I saw the puck go behind the
net, and wanted to find a spot in the slot. I got my stick on it, and it was
fortunate that it went in."
Mueller added an empty-netter with 1.2 seconds to go and the bench erupted as
the Spartans claimed their first title since 1986.
"We knew going into the game, they were a patient team,"said BC forward Joe
Rooney. "They kept five guys low. We got our chances, but didn't get the
bounces we needed. Got TO hand it to their goalie, he played well."
The Spartans, playing out of the CCHA, broke a streak of five consecutive
champions from the WCHA stretching back to Boston College's win in 2001. The
last school from the CCHA to win a title was Michigan, who took the crown in
1998 against Boston College.
Neither team scored in a spirited first period which saw BC outshoot Michigan
State 13-6.
BC had a 5-on-3 advantage with five minutes played in the second, and
capitalized while skating with one extra man as Nathan Gerbe won a battle
along the boards and pushed the puck into the left circle. Brock Bradford
stepped up and ripped a shot from the faceoff dot that hit Boyle's leg and
sailed into the right corner of the net for a 1-0 lead at 6:50.
Michigan State went up by two men midway through the period, but BC held on
without allowing a quality chance. Despite 12 shots in the second, the
Spartans were still unable to solve Schneider.
That would set the stage for a stunning reversal in the final 20 minutes of
the contest.

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.
