Hockey Betting Lines

11/21/2008 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lee Stempniak's goal 2:39 into overtime lifted St. Louis over Anaheim, 3-2, at Scottrade Center.

Stempniak gained control of the puck near center ice, and once over the Ducks' blue line, crossed to the left wing. As he reached the left circle, he released a low wrister which managed to get through Anaheim goaltender Jean- Sebastien Giguere.

David Backes and Steve Regier also tallied for the Blues, who have won two of three and posted their second straight overtime victory after besting Chicago last Friday.

Manny Legace made 26 saves, improving to 6-3-1 on the season.

Chris Kunitz and Scott Niedermayer scored for the Ducks, who have lost five of six. Giguere was the hard-luck loser, after making 25 stops.

Backes scored the lone goal of the first period, pumping home the rebound of Brad Winchester's shot for a power-play marker at 7:14.

After a scoreless second period, the Ducks knotted the game 7:13 into the third as Kunitz batted home the rebound of Bobby Ryan's shot from the right circle.

However, St. Louis took the lead once more on the power play as Regier tapped in Backes' pass from inside the crease with 9:45 to play in the contest.

The Blues faced a 6-on-4 short-handed situation in the final minutes after Jay McKee was sent off for hooking with 1:23 to play and Giguere was called to the bench.

Legace was forced to make several saves in traffic until Niedermayer's desperation poke found its way into the net with less than a second to go.

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.
