02/28/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Calgary Flames and Minnesota Wild will battle each other for Western Conference playoff positioning tonight, when they face off at the Saddledome.
The Flames and Wild are currently knotted at 75 points for the seventh spot in the West standings. They are also each two points behind San Jose for sixth place in the conference and two points in back of Vancouver for the Northwest Division lead.
Calgary and the Wild have split four meetings this season and the home club has won six straight and 10 of the last 12 encounters between the teams. The Flames have taken eight of the last 11 overall matchups with Minnesota and the Wild are just 0-7-1 (7 losses, 1 tie) in their last eight trips to the Saddledome.
The Wild, who are 8-2-1 in February, are aiming for their fourth consecutive victory tonight. They were last in action on Sunday against visiting Edmonton and posted a 4-1 victory. Pierre-Marc Bouchard had a goal and an assist to lead Minnesota past the Oilers at Xcel Energy Center.
Todd White, Brent Burns and Marian Gaborik each tallied markers for the Wild, while Niklas Backstrom stopped 19-of-20 shots in the win.
Minnesota made a minor deal before Tuesday's trade deadline, picking up center Dominic Moore from the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday in exchange for a third- round pick in the 2007 draft. Moore has six goals and nine assists in 59 games with the Penguins this season.
Tonight marks the beginning of a three-game road trip for the Wild, who are just 13-18-1 as the visiting club this year.
Meanwhile, the Flames are capping a three-game homestand tonight. Calgary has won four of its last five tests at the Saddledome and is an amazing 26-6-1 as the host this season.
The Flames are 2-0 on the current stand and have outscored their opponents, 12-6, in those games. They defeated Vancouver, 7-4, on Saturday before beating the Phoenix Coyotes, 5-2, on Monday night.
Wayne Primeau led the way in the latest triumph, scoring two goals to help down the Coyotes. David Moss, Kristian Huselius and Andrei Zyuzin each had a goal for the Flames and Jamie McLennan made 30 saves.
Calgary tried to bolster its blueline on Tuesday by nabbing defenseman David Hale and a fifth-round pick in the 2007 draft from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a third-round pick in 2007. Hale has posted one assist and 26 penalty minutes in 43 games for the Devils this season.

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).

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
