Calgary Acquires Kopitar Against Washington

Hockey Betting Lines

Also heading to Calgary are goaltender Karri Ramo and a fifth-round draft pick in 2012.

 

Cammalleri, who enjoyed a career year in Calgary three seasons ago with 39 goals and 82 points in 81 games, struggled to nine goals and 22 points in 37 games this year. Coming into play on Thursday, Montreal placed last in the Northeast Division with 39 points.

 

According to several sources, Cammalleri was taken off the bench during the third period of a 2-1 loss to the Bruins in Boston and told to remain at the team hotel to await further instructions. Less than an hour later, the deal was announced.

 

Bourque, 30, racked up 13 goals and 16 points in 38 games with the struggling Flames, who are 12th in the Western Conference with 45 points heading into a home game against the Anaheim Ducks. He is currently serving a five-game suspension for elbowing Washington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom.

 

Ramo, a 25-year-old native of Finland, has 48 games of NHL experience -- all with Tampa Bay from 2006-09. He posted an 11-21-10 record with a 3.35 goals- against average for the Bolts, but has spent the past three seasons with Avangard Omsk of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League.

 

Eriksson had two goals in regulation, while Alex Goligoski added a goal and an assist. Eric Nystrom also scored for the Stars.

 

Two Stars' goal within a minute of each other in the first period gave Dallas a 2-0 lead in the first intermission.

 

Eriksson struck first with a wrister from the slot that beat Quick to the glove side at the 14:04 mark of the opening frame, and Nystrom tallied 51 seconds later when he cleaned up his own rebound out in front of the net.

 

Lewis converted on a breakaway by deking left before moving to the right and slipping the puck past the glove of Lehtonen near the midpoint of the second to make it a 3-2 game after two periods.

 

But Dallas knotted the game up at the 14:35 mark of the third after a double minor to the Kings' Mike Richards after Kopitar took a big hit in the corner and had to be helped off the ice.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout

An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.

Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off.  Randy was not impressed though.  Paula thought he started off fantastic.  "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. 

Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed.  Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact.  He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. 

Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula.  Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.

Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next.  Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential.  Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell.  He sang "Careless Whisper".

22 year old Chris Richardson was up next.  He was listed with +1100 odds coming in.  He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. 

Nick was boring and pitchy.  Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week.  Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. 

Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds .  These of course were the early odds.  He was considered original for picking an "odd song".  He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. 

Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. 

Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds.  Great voice and a great sense of humor.  He's a real standout.  Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit.  Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". 

Jared Cotter followed.  He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition.  The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. 

22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next.  "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon.  Though the judges felt he performed okay.  Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.

Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition.  He was the last to perform.  He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. 

Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys.  Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
