Hockey Betting Lines

03/04/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miroslav Satan opened the scoring in the first period and recorded the lone goal in the shootout, as the Boston Bruins put to rest their home woes with a 3-2 win over Toronto.

Satan beat Maple Leafs goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere on a nifty deke to the backhand in the third round of the extra segment. Boston netminder Tim Thomas, meanwhile, turned away the trio of Phil Kessel, Jamie Lundmark and Tyler Bozak, who tied the game six minutes into the third period.

Johnny Boychuk also scored in regulation for the Bruins, who improved to 9-9 in shootouts this season and snapped a 10-game winless streak as the host. Boston's last home win occurred at Fenway Park on New Year's Day. The Bruins hadn't won at TD Garden since December 30.

Thomas finished with 24 saves, while Giguere stopped 29 shots.

Viktor Stalberg had the other goal for Toronto, which has lost four straight.

A kicking motion was ruled to have propelled the puck across the goal line, negating a goal for Boston forward Michael Ryder 63 seconds into the game.

Satan's low wrister from the top of the left circle found room through the pads of Giguere at 9:36.

Stalberg beat Thomas on the short side with 4:33 to play in the first period, but Boychuk unloaded a slap shot past Giguere at 15:24 of the middle stanza for a 2-1 Boston lead.

Game Notes

Toronto has lost seven in a row on the road...Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask did not dress for the game. He is considered day-to-day with a knee injury...Boston center Patrice Bergeron missed his second straight game due to a groin injury suffered during the Winter Olympics.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
