December 22, 2019
By The Associated Press

DALLAS (AP) Matthew Tkachuk, Sean Monahan and Mikael Backlund scored power-play goals and the Calgary Flames beat the Dallas Stars 5-1 on Sunday night.


Tkachuk's 14th goal of the season broke a 1-1 tie in the second period. Monahan also scored in the second. Backlund's goal in the third period preceded a short-handed, empty-net goal by Derek Ryan.


The three power-play goals were the most for Calgary in a game this season, and the most allowed by Dallas.


Flames goalie David Rittich made 26 saves and picked up his first career assist on Backlund's goal.


Andrew Mangiapane scored Calgary's first goal in the opening period. Denis Gurianov countered 38 seconds later for Dallas.


Elias Lindholm assisted on Calgary's first three goals.


Stars goalie Ben Bishop had 25 saves.


The Flames had been 0-2-1 in their previous three games. Dallas has lost three of four.


COYOTES 5, RED WINGS 2


DETROIT (AP) - Clayton Keller had two goals and an assist to lead Arizona past Detroit.


Carl Soderberg, Taylor Hall and Christian Dvorak also scored for Arizona. Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson had three assists and Nick Schmaltz added two.


Antti Raanta made 28 saves in Arizona's first game since No. 1 goalie Darcy Kuemper sustained a lower-body injury Friday during an 8-5 loss to Minnesota.


Filip Zadina and Tyler Bertuzzi scored for Detroit. Jimmy Howard stopped 40 shots in his return after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury.


RANGERS 5, DUCKS 1


NEW YORK (AP) - Chris Kreider scored twice and New York beat Anaheim to end a three-game losing streak.


Mika Zibanejad had a goal and an assist, while Filip Chytil and Brett Howden also scored for the Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist made 19 saves.


Sam Steel scored for the Ducks and Ryan Miller made 36 saves.


GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3, SHARKS 1


SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Shea Theodore scored the tiebreaking goal with 11:55 remaining in the third period and Vegas beat struggling San Jose for its ninth win in 13 games.


Paul Stastny and Jonathan Marchessault also scored, and Malcolm Subban made 37 saves to keep the Golden Knights tied for first place in the Pacific Division with Arizona.


Logan Couture scored for the Sharks, who lost for the ninth time in 10 games. Aaron Dell made 34 saves.

Friday’s 6-pack


Over/under win totals for baseball in 2020:


88— St Louis Cardinals


86.5— Cleveland Indians


84.5— Los Angeles Angels


81— Arizona Diamondbacks


79.5— Texas Rangers


75.5— Colorado Rockies


Quote of the Day:
“He’s going to be the quarterback. He’s going to be the future of the Denver Broncos.”
Von Miller, talking about rookie QB Drew Lock


Friday’s quiz
Where did Shaquille O’Neal finish his NBA career?


Thursday’s quiz
Ozzie Guillen was manager of the White Sox when they won the World Series in ’05.


Wednesday’s quiz
John Adams was the 2nd President of the United States.


**********************************

Friday’s Den: In a perfect world, where I made all the decisions……..


13) I’d like everyone to be nicer to each other; life is short, lets enjoy it.


Lets tolerate our differences; I like the A’s, you like someone else. you like beer, I like Cherry Coke, our differences are what make life interesting.


12) A friend of mine wouldn’t talk to me for a year because I didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016 (I voted for the 3rd party candidate). Why take life that seriously? Especially the way Presidential elections are, the Democrat almost always wins New York anyway.


11) Would a date with Gina Gershon be too much to ask for? (probably, yes…..)


10) Sounds like one of the things I’ve been posting in this space for years will finally happen; both leagues should have the DH in 2022. Both leagues should have the same rules.


9) Lets do away with Daylight Savings Time; who needs sunlight at 5:30am? Keep the clocks the way they are in the summer. Let it stay light as late in the day as possible.


8) Can we get rid of the Electoral College? Whoever gets the most votes should win, yes?


7) Every kid would learn basic life skills in high school: cooking, laundry, how to write a check, how to do a budget, the divorce laws.


When it comes to cooking, I can make one thing……reservations.


6) No Thursday NFL games, except for Week 1 and Thanksgiving Day. Instead, why not have Monday night doubleheaders every week? 7:00/10:30 games; that would be fun.


5) NBA playoff series would be two out of three until the Finals, which would be best-of-5.


4) College football teams shouldn’t be playing I-AA opponents; I mean, Alabama played Western Carolina this year, and Florida played UT-Martin AND Towson State- how does this happen? Why would anyone pay to see mismatches like this?


3) I’d be in favor of college basketball adopting the NBA’s 8-second rule for getting the ball over half court; most anything that encourages pressing and a faster-paced game is a good thing.


2) I’d make cigarettes illegal; they’re known to cause cancer. What is good about them?


1) I’d make sure DirecTV picked up the Pac-12 Network. Its not too much to ask. This is my list after all.


Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Devils score into own net, gifting Toronto a 5-4 OT win
December 27, 2019
By The Associated Press


NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Devils defenseman Damon Severson backhanded the puck into his own net in overtime, gifting the Toronto Maple Leafs a 5-4 win over New Jersey on Friday night for their season-best sixth straight victory.


Severson got the puck after Toronto's William Nylander lost control while driving toward New Jersey's net. The 25-year-old Severson inadvertently beat goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood while trying to clear the puck out of danger. Nylander was credited with the goal.


Zach Hyman, Ilya Mikheyev, Kasperi Kapanen and John Tavares scored for Toronto. Michael Hutchinson had 24 saves in winning his second straight start.


Mikheyev left the ice in the third period after being cut on his wrist by Jack Hughes' skate. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation, the Maple Leafs said.


Nico Hischier, Nitita Gusev, Kyle Palmieri and Jesper Bratt tallied for New Jersey, and Blackwood made 32 saves.


RANGERS 5, HURRICANES 3


NEW YORK (AP) - Mika Zibanejad had two goals and an assist, Henrik Lundqvist stopped 39 shots, and New York beat Carolina.

Lundqvist improved to 3-0-0 against the Hurricanes this season while stopping 125 of 132 shots in the wins.


Lucas Wallmark had a goal and an assist, Brett Pesce and Sebastian Aho also scored, and Teuvo Terravainen had two assists for the Hurricanes. James Reimer finished with 19 saves for Carolina, which has lost three straight after a 6-0-1 stretch.


CAPITALS 2, BLUE JACKETS 1, OT


WASHINGTON (AP) - Carl Hagelin scored his first goal of the season, T.J. Oshie scored in overtime and Washington snapped Columbus' winning streak at five.


Hagelin's tying goal in the third helped Washington remained the only team in the NHL without back-to-back regulation losses this season. Oshie scored the winner on the power play 3:13 into overtime to give the Capitals their first victory against Columbus in three tries this month.


Rookie goaltender Ilya Samsonov made 27 saves to win his first career start against Columbus. He was solid all night and couldn't do much on the lone Blue Jackets goal by rookie Jakob Lilja.


Columbus extended its point streak to nine games. It's 6-0-3 in that span.


Joonas Korpisalo was excellent in net for the Blue Jackets, stopping 34 of the 36 shots he faced.

BRUINS 3, SABRES 0

Bergeron became the fifth player in Bruins history to score two goals in at least three games and the first Bruin since Cam Neely in 1988-89 to accomplish the feat.


Brandon Carlo also scored and Jaroslav Halak made 26 saves for Boston. It was Halak's third shutout of the season.


Linus Ullmark made 22 saves for Buffalo, which has lost five of its last six games.

WILD 6, AVALANCHE 4


DENVER (AP) - Mats Zuccarello and Victor Rask scored in a 1:17 span in the third period and Minnesota rallied Colorado.


Devan Dubnyk made 14 of his 40 saves in the third period for the Wild, who have taken two of the three games against Colorado.


Eric Staal, Carson Soucy, Ryan Suter and Brad Hunt also scored for Minnesota.


Matt Calvert had two goals, and Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog also scored for Colorado. Pavel Francouz had 27 saves for the Avalanche, who have lost their last three home games despite holding a third-period lead in each.

New York lost for the fourth time in five games in the opener of a three-game trip.


Ross Johnston and Casey Cizikas scored for the Islanders, and Thomas Greiss made eight saves on 11 shots before he was replaced by Semyon Varlamov in the first.

Devin Shore added a third-period goal and John Gibson made 26 saves for the Ducks.

KINGS 3, SHARKS 2, OT


SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Martin Frk scored two third-period goals in his debut with the Kings, and Jeff Carter scored the winner in overtime.


Frk scored his first goal early in the third and cut a two-goal Sharks lead in half. He tied it with another score with 1:24 left in regulation.


Jack Campbell had 22 saves as the Kings snapped a three-game skid.


Joe Thornton snapped a 47-game goal-scoring drought and added an assist for the Sharks, who lost their fourth straight and are 1-9-1 over their last 11.

Saturday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….


13) Pitt 34, Eastern Michigan 30— OK, never saw this before; Panthers score with 0:47 left to take a 34-30 lead, their first lead of the night. EMU was trying to drive for a winning score when their QB gets hit while throwing an incomplete pass with 0:10 left.


The QB gets up, one of the defenders says something to him, and the QB smacks the guy in the facemask— not good. He gets thrown out of the game; a kid playing his last college game, who threw for 311 yards and two TD’s, gets tossed before the last play. Oy.


12) Found a treasure trove of old knowledge Thursday, a website full of old stats from the USFL, which played from 1983-85. Was a very good league, good springtime entertainment.


22 different cities hosted USFL teams; Breakers played in a different city every year (Boston, New Orleans, Portland).


11) Steve Young led the LA Express to a 10-8 record in 1984, playing for coach John Hadl, who was an excellent QB himself in the old AFL for the Chargers, and then briefly for the Rams.


Young threw for 2,361 yards, ran for 515 more; they slipped to 3-15 the next year, losing a great 34-33 game to Jim Kelly and the Houston Gamblers early in the season, in front of a small gathering at the LA Coliseum.


When I say small crowd, the Express averaged 8,415 fans a game in the Coliseum. No bueno.


10) Tampa Bay Bandits averaged over 40,000 fans/game in their three-year run for Steve Spurrier, going 35-19. Florida alum John Reaves played QB most of the time for the Bandits; at one point, he was a 1st round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles.


9) Super Bowl winners by seed, since 1990:
seed #1) 14 Super Bowl champs
#2) 7
#3) 1 (Colts ’06)
#4) 4
#5) 1 (Giants ’07)
#6) 2 (Steelers ’05/Packers ’10)


8) Minnesota Vikings are locked into the #6 seed in the NFC; they’re likely to sit lot of guys this weekend, including QB Kirk Cousins.


7) Marshawn Lynch will apparently be paid $60,588 by the Seahawks this week.


For any NFL player with more than 10 years of experience, the minimum salary is $1,030,000 for the whole year, which breaks down to $60,588 per week over 17 weeks.


6) Washington Huskies’ QB Jacob Eason, the #4 NFL prospect at QB, according to ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., announced Thursday that he will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft.


5) Lebron James has played four games for the Lakers against the rival Clippers; he is 5-29 on the arc in those four games.


4) Louisiana Tech 14, Miami 0— Miami used three QB’s in this game; none of them played well. This is their first losing season since 2014. Not often the TV announcers are speculating during the game about the offensive coordinator getting fired.


Friday, the offensive coordinator got fired.


Miami lost nine of its last ten bowl games. Meanwhile, Skip Holtz is 6-0 in bowls at Louisiana Tech.


3) On November 12, Evansville upset Kentucky 67-64 in Rupp Arena, a great moment for the Purple Aces and their coach, Kentucky alum Walter McCarty.


Six weeks later, McCarty was put on leave by Evansville, after “……a troubling report about Coach McCarty’s interactions with a member of the campus community.”


Former Samford coach Bennie Seltzer is the Purple Aces’ interim head coach.


2) RIP Don Imus, 79, a legend on NYC radio who often made me laugh when I was driving to work. ESPN’s Mike Breen did the sports on Imus’ show for a while; Imus would bust his chops and make him laugh, while he was trying to read his report.


1) Aaron Rodgers, Danica Patrick recently bought a Malibu estate for $28M in cash; who doesn’t have $28M lying around?

GETTING HOT IN THE IGLOO

On Saturday, two of the hottest teams before the break will square off in Pittsburgh as the Penguins host the Predators. The Pens have dominated their Western Conference opponents this year to the tune of 14-4-1 and have won seven of their last eight at home.

Goalie Tristan Jarry may be the best goalie in hockey this year as his 1.86 goals against average is tops in the league. That number gets even smaller when Jarry suits up at home as the netminder owns a 1.46 GAA at home this year across 10 games. We are taking the Pens ML on Saturday as the Predators recent success may give us a better number.


LIGHTNING LAMP-LIGHTERS

Sunday, the league’s best Over team at home (14-4-1 O/U) will take on the Detroit Red Wings who have allowed 30 goals in their last seven road games. The Tampa Bay Lightning hit the Over in four of their last five games before the holidays as the team sits third in goals per game.

The Lightning’s offense has run through its power play which is converting at 32.5 percent (1st) since November and is second in the league in expected goals for. The only problem in playing the Over is trusting the Wings’ offense as it sits near the bottom of the league in every offensive category. The safer bet is with the Tampa team total Over 3.5 as the Wings have allowed four or more goals in four straight and six of their last seven road games.

If there is any value in the Puck Line, don’t hesitate to take it, but we think it will be as low as it ever goes with this mismatch of talent, especially with Detroit playing the backend of a back-to-back.


GOALIE PROFILE: BEN BISHOP, DALLAS STARS

Ben Bishop went into the break having given up 10 goals in Dallas’ final two games. The usually steady goaltender has dropped four straight starts and should face the Avalanche on Saturday.

Colorado will be on a back-to-back which should help the struggling veteran who is 1-0 versus the Avs this year having made 36 of 37 saves in a 4-1 win on November 5. Bishop still owns a 1.90 goals against at home this year and we think the goalie is worth trusting in a good spot for a Dallas Stars Money Line play.


TRENDS

• Putting your money on home dogs has been a losing endeavour over the last month in the NHL. Away favorites have hit at an incredible 66 percent since late November, up from their 56 percent rate across the entire season. If you are looking for a more aggressive play (Puck Line), away favorites have covered at 50 percent ATS over the last 30 days which is big bucks with the great value of Puck Lines.

4) Kansas City -8.5 (753)
3) Seattle +3.5 (807)
2) Tennessee -3.5 (987)
1) NJ Giants +4.5 (995)
2019 record: 51-40-5

Quote of the Day:
“When you bring in Antonio Brown for a workout in Week 17, you also get a camera crew and an entourage. That’s what Antonio Brown showed up with yesterday — that’s what I was told — referred to by a Saints source as ‘the whole bleep show’ showed up with Antonio Brown.”
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo

Sunday’s quiz
Who was LSU’s football coach the last time they won the national title?

Saturday’s quiz
Joe Namath was drafted by the Jets in the AFL, the St Louis Cardinals in the NFL.

Friday’s quiz
Shaquille O’Neal finished his NBA career with the Celtics, nine years ago.

*****************************************************************************

Sunday’s List of 13: Going thru the first group of bowl games…….

13) Clemson 29, Ohio State 23:
— Ohio State led 16-0 with 3:00 left in the first half.
— Lawrence threw for 259 yards, ran for 107 more; he took a lot of hits in this game.

— If you had a choice between Joe Burrow/Trevor Lawrence to QB your NFL team, who would you choose?
— Early line on the national title game: LSU -4 vs Clemson.

12) LSU 63, Oklahoma 28:
— At one point, Burrow had 7 TD passes; Oklahoma had 8 first downs.
— How was this kid the 3rd-string QB at Ohio State?

— LSU’s kicker is 18 years old; their holder is 29.
— Horrible news before the game; the daughter-in-law of LSU OC Steve Ensminger was one of five people killed in a plane crash in Lafayette, LA Saturday. Very sad.

11) From 2012-15, Eastern Michigan’s football team went 7-41; the last four years, they’re 25-26, losing their three bowl games by total of 10 points, covering all three games as an underdog. Eagles are 21-6-1 ATS in last 28 games as an underdog.

10) Mike Leach’s teams score lot of points, but his success doesn’t translate to bowls; Wazzu scored an average of only 21.6 ppg in their last five bowls.

Coogs were 3-0 this year, led UCLA 49-17 at home, then blew that game 67-63, their defensive coordinator either quit/got fired, and the team fell apart, losing seven of last ten games.

Air Force ran the ball for 371 yards in their 31-21 Cheez-It Bowl win over the Coogs; Air Force ran 81 plays, Wazzu only 50.

9) Washington Huskies were 32-9 the last three years, but were a disappointing 8-5 TY; they pounded coach Chris Petersen’s old team Boise State 34-7 in Petersen’s last game as Huskies’ coach. Washington was 0-5 TY in games decided by 10 or fewer points.

8) Big 14 teams won the last five Holiday Bowls; Iowa thrashed USC 49-24. Have to think the boosters who wanted coach Clay Helton fired aren’t nay happier now.

7) MAC teams are 3-1 ATS in bowls; last three years combined, they were 5-12.

6) Skip Holtz is 6-0 at Louisiana Tech in bowl games; Miami lost nine of its last ten bowls.

5) Oklahoma State lost the Texas Bowl 24-21 to Texas A&M, but they covered the spread, are now 11-4 ATS in last 15 games as an underdog.

A&M coach Jimbo Fisher improved to 7-2 in bowl games.

4) Temple coach Rod Carey is 60-35 as a head coach, but 0-7 in bowl games; 0-6 at Northern Illinois, 0-1 at Temple after North Carolinas thrashed his Owls 55-13 Friday.

3) Florida Atlantic played at home in the last two Boca Raton Bowls, and cruised in both, 50-3/52-28. SMU lost its last two bowls, 51-10/52-28.

2) In six years at the I-A level, Appalachian State is already 5-0 in bowls, scoring 31+ points in all five games- they’re also going to have their third coach in three years next year, as big money teams scooped up their coach the last two years.

1) Arkansas State had a very emotional year; their coach lost his wife to cancer in August- he missed their season opener, then coached the rest of the season. Red Wolves won five of their last six games to finish the season 8-5, with a 34-26 bowl win over FIU, only their 2nd bowl win in last six tries. Good for them.
