O'Reilly's late goal leads Colorado past Carolina in OT
Hockey Betting Lines
02/11/2012 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan O'Reilly scored the game-winner with 1.2 seconds left in overtime to give the Colorado Avalanche a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
With time winding down, O'Reilly picked the pocket of Justin Faulk in the neutral zone and skated the other way. From the left wing, O'Reilly cranked a shot that beat Cam Ward to the left side for the win.
"I looked up and saw four seconds on the clock," said O'Reilly. "I managed to get the shot off on time and got lucky with it."
Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche, who have won two straight. Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 39 shots in the win.
Eric Staal had a goal and an assist, while Ward made 29 stops for the Hurricanes, who have dropped their past two.
"We have to get better when we have our opportunities," said Staal. "We have to get in front of the net more. I liked our game tonight, especially in the first two periods. But our power play has to do a better job, especially with chances in the last five minutes."
Carolina scored 7:22 into the first period on Tim Brent's eighth of the year, but Colorado tied it with 54 seconds left in the first off a wrister from Gabriel Landeskog at the left circle.
The Hurricanes, though, got a goal from Jiri Tlusty just 31 seconds later to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.
Colorado tied the game 3:15 into the second on a tic-tac-toe play as David Jones sent a pass from the left wing to the right wing where Stastny sent it back to the slot and Milan Hejduk redirected it in.
Carolina again took the lead with 4:29 to play in the second on Staal's 14th of the year, but Stastny tied the game when he got the puck in the slot off a backhand pass from Jones behind the net and shifted to the backhand before sliding it in.

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.
