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.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
