Brodeur blanks Hurricanes, Devils tie for first in Atlantic
Hockey Betting Lines
04/03/2010 -
Raleigh, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Brodeur recorded his eighth shutout of
the season by stopping all 26 shots he faced as the New Jersey Devils
took down the Hurricanes, 4-0.
Zach Parise, Dainius Zubrus, Patrik Elias and David Clarkson all tallied a
goal and an assist each for the Devils, who broke their three-game losing
streak to move into a tie atop the Atlantic Division with 97 points. They
are in a deadlock for second place with the Pens in the Eastern
Conference playoff standings with identical 45-26-7 records. However, the
Devils own the next tiebreaker with Pittsburgh as the Devils won all six head-
to-head matchups this season.
Cam Ward racked up 25 saves in defeat, as Carolina dropped its second straight
contest.
"They played hard. I didn't think we came out soft," said Hurricanes coach
Paul Maurice. "I think we gave them what we had and it wasnt good. That was
11 and 19 days for us and it showed, but they played last night so you're
hoping they're a little off but they weren't off at all. They're top guys were
going and were stronger and it was pretty evident we had a hard time with a
lot of the one-on-one plays. It may have looked like, but you can read faces
when they come to the bench and it wasnt lack effort it was just we were
gassed."
The Devils got on the board 13:13 into the first period on the power play
as Parise threw the puck in front from the right point to a wide open Zubrus
in front of the net for an easy put in between Wards' legs.
Elias made it 2-0 five minutes later on a high shot that found the netting
just below the crossbar. The play was set up on a nice cross-ice pass by Ilya
Kovalchuk.
The second period saw a combined 17 shots, but no goals.
Parise cemented the game 7:34 into the third when he banked the puck off Ward
from behind the net for the score. Parise took the puck from behind the net
and wrestled with the defense to put it in.
"It's a good game for us," said Devils coach Jacques Lemaire. "You know we
played really well last night and that game last night just carried over into
tonight. We played the same way we did last night so we're pleased with this."
Clarkson added an empty-net goal to account for the final score.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
