Flyers' Boucher likely done for season

Hockey Betting Lines

05/11/2010 - Voorhees, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren announced Tuesday that goaltender Brian Boucher is expected to miss at least a month with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee as well as injuries to his right knee.

Boucher was hurt in Monday's 4-0 win in Boston when teammate Ryan Parent fell on him during a goalmouth scrum with the Bruins' Miroslav Satan 4:35 into the second period. The defenseman's full weight appeared to come down on Boucher's left leg, causing the 33-year-old to writhe in pain.

He was escorted from the game by team training staff, and Michael Leighton took over in net. Boucher had stopped all nine shots he faced before exiting.

Leighton finished the game -- his first since suffering a high left ankle sprain on March 16 -- by making 14 saves to notch the second combined shutout in NHL playoff history.

Boucher was 6-4 with a 2.33 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in this postseason.

With the Flyers still trailing in the series, 3-2, Leighton will likely start Game 6 on Wednesday, with Johan Backlund dressing as the backup.

Meanwhile, forward Claude Giroux is expected to be in the lineup after he was drilled into the boards from behind by Steve Begin late in the second period on Monday. Giroux sat out the rest of the game.

The Flyers are trying to become the third team in NHL history to win a playoff series after losing the first three games.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
