Bruins remain hot with road win over Isles

Hockey Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tim Thomas stopped 37 shots as Boston clipped the New York Islanders, 3-2, at Nassau Coliseum.

Milan Lucic, David Krejci and Marc Savard tallied for the Bruins, who have won five of six.

Josh Bailey and Matt Moulson scored for the Islanders, who have dropped two in a row and three of four.

Dwayne Roloson suffered the loss despite a 31-save performance.

Down by two goals, the Islanders received a prime chance to get back in the contest, when Isles forward Blake Comeau was hit from behind into the boards by Bruins forward Michael Ryder with 3:54 to play in the second. While Comeau was escorted from the ice on a stretcher, Ryder was given a major and game misconduct.

New York failed to convert on a significant portion of the advantage until intermission, then did not close its deficit on the remainder at the start of the third.

Moulson finally got the Isles within a goal at the 5:43 mark, but the home team could not solve Thomas from there, including a stretch in the final 1:18 with an extra skater.

Lucic notched the lone goal of the first period, on a quick high wrister from the slot with 1:34 to play.

Bailey evened the score on a power play 2:18 into the second, but Krejci finished off a slick pass from Miroslav Satan at 5:04.

Boston went up 3-1 on the power play when Patrice Bergeron's rising point shot went sailing over the net, but caromed right to Savard's feet for an easy backhand tap-in at 9:20 of the second stanza.

Game Notes

The clubs split four meetings this season, with each team winning once at home and on the road...Boston heads to Pittsburgh on Sunday and New York waits until Tuesday to play in Philadelphia.

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).
