Canucks try to rebound in Anaheim

Hockey Betting Lines

03/11/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Vancouver Canucks will try to get right back in the win column tonight when they visit the Anaheim Ducks and the Honda Center.

The Canucks had matched their longest winning streak of the season with four straight victories prior to Monday's 3-2 setback to Los Angeles. Still, the loss was just Vancouver's third in its last 15 games.

With 76 points on the season, the Canucks are fifth overall in the Western Conference and are now within eight points of first-place Calgary in the Northwest Division. Vancouver is also just five points behind Chicago for the fourth seed in the conference.

Alex Burrows and Taylor Pyatt scored in Monday's defeat for the Canucks, who also lost for the third time in their last eight road games. Vancouver is 16-12-4 as the guest this year and begins a four-game homestand versus the Kings on Friday.

Roberto Luongo allowed three goals on 22 shots in defeat, only his second in his last 14 starts. Luongo hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last 11 outings and is 7-6-0 with a 2.50 goals against average in his career versus the Ducks.

Meanwhile, Anaheim will try to avoid dropping four games in a row since doing so to begin the season from October 9-15. The Ducks' current slide reached three games after Sunday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota.

Todd Marchant netted a short-handed goal and Scott Niedermayer lit the lamp in the game's final minute for the Ducks, who have also dropped four of their last five games. Jonas Hiller stopped 22-of-25 shots in defeat, his third straight losing start.

The Ducks now sit in a tie with St. Louis for 11th overall in the West, three points back of a postseason spot. The club will try to halt a four-game home losing streak tonight, with the last two setbacks of that skid coming on its current five-game homestand. Anaheim, which will also host San Jose and Nashville, is 15-15-3 at Honda Center this year.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere should return to net tonight and is just 1-2-1 over his last four starts. He has yielded three goals in each game.

The Ducks have lost both of their meetings with the Canucks so far this year, including a 7-6 shootout setback at home on October 31. Vancouver has won five of the last six in the series and three of its last five trips to Anaheim.

Giguere is 9-9-1 with a pair of ties and 2.80 GAA in his career versus Vancouver. He did not make it out of the second period in his lone start against them this year, allowing four goals on 13 shots faced.

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.

Be sure to log on to MySportsbook.com to check out the complete odds for NFL MVP as well as all of the new football related futures. With the popularity of NFL futures, these betting lines will be sure to change as the money comes in; get the early sports lines now.
