Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Current odds to win the Masters in a couple weeks.........

6-1-- Rory McIlroy-- Currently 116th on World Money List.

10-1-- Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth- They can't serve Waffle House at Champions' Dinner; Augusta National doesn't deal with brand name foods.

12-1-- Jason Day-- Playing better this year becase he is healthy.

15-1-- Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson-- Scott is currently 75th on that $$$ list.

25-1-- Mickelson-Fowler-Stenson-Snedeker-Walker-Reed

30-1-- Justin Rose-Matt Kuchar-- Anyone know which network carries Masters? They really should advertise more.



**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......

13) You meet all kinds of interesting people hanging around a sportsbook or a casino bar; this week has been no exception. I've met a homeless guy who spends his afternoons drinking free beer by the sportsbook, an elderly Wisconsin fan, a gambler from Illinois who was the best story teller I've ever met-- I've learned a lot in the last eight days-- hopefully it'll make this website more fun for you to read.

12) College basketball coaching carousel is starting to spin: rumors have Arizona State getting rid of Herb Sendek today; SE Missouri and Bradley fired their coaches, and an interesting hire was Steve McClain at Ill-Chicago. He was pretty good while at Wyoming and has been an assistant at Indiana ever since.

11) BJ Johnson transfers from Syracuse to LaSalle; he had 19 points in a February game with Notre Dame, but scored only 4.2 ppg this season. Couple kids transferred out of South Florida; Anthony Collins only has one year left wherever he goes.

10) Murray State 83, Tulsa 62-- Racers looked like a top 20 team in crushing Tulsa on its home court- they made 14-25 from arc, led by 18 at halftime and won easily even though star Cameron Payne fouled out with 8:00 left.

9) Mike Brey's mother, who passed away Saturday, swam in the 1956 Olympics and once held the world record in the butterfly.

8) Louisiana Tech 84, Texas A&M 72-- Another mid-major spanks an SEC team on its home court; Tech coach Michaeel White is son of Duke's AD, brother of Buffalo's AD- he has a brother-in-law working with him in Ruston.

7) Bucks-Nets have played three times this season; two of three games went to triple overtime. Jason Kidd jumping from Brooklyn to Milwaukee has already made the games emotionally charged, but two triple OT games in same year makes it moreso.

6) Celtics are currently #8 seed in the East; they're eight games under .500. Suns and Pelicans are both over .500 but out of the playoff picture right now. Seems wrong.

5) Relaxed Monday afternoon, watched the A's play in the South Point sportsbook; weird seeing Brandon Moss play against the A's. He helped them so much last three seasons. $1.25 hot dogs by the sportsbook are tremendous, by the way.

4) New York City talk show nitwits were making a big stink out of the Mets starting Bartolo Colon in the season opener. Anyone with half a brain realizes the Mets are going to limit Matt Harvey's innings by stretching out his starts where they can, so they don't have to shut him down in September, the way Washington did with Stephen Strasburg a few years ago. but everyone is a critic, so......

3) Alabama is poised to offer Wichita State's Gregg Marshall $3M a year to coach the Crimson Tide; going to be very interesting; a) if he takes the job or not b) where they turn if he declines their offer. Nick Saban casts a very large shadow.

2) ESPN's 30 for 30 show on former NBA player Chris Herren and his fight against substance abuse is just tremendous television. Very very sad in spots; the story is heading to a happy conclusion, but obviously it is a daily struggle he fights. If you haven't seen it is really is worth watching-- an amazing true story.

1) Had the pleasure to meet website readers Mike/Martha/Walt this weekend; Mike is a sharp gambler who scored big at the baccarat table before leaving town. Walt is a big Notre Dame fan, but I won't hold that against him. Really nice people; it was a pleasure to hang out and shoot the breeze with them.

Favorites are perfect on the ice Monday night

Favorites were the side to bet in NHL action Monday night, going a perfect seven-for-seven straight up.

Favorites have been a hot bet over the past seven days, going 33-8-4-3, cashing 68.8 percent of the time. Favorites are cashing 60.9 percent of the time on the season.




NHL roundup: Senators back in playoff position

OTTAWA -- Four unanswered third-period goals lifted the Senators to a 5-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks -- and into the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference -- Monday night at Canadian Tire Centre.

Ottawa earned its seventh win in a row and increased its point total to 85, one more than the Boston Bruins. The Sharks lost for the fourth time in their last five games, damaging their diminishing playoff hopes. The Senators are 17-2-2 in their last 21.

Center Mika Zibanejad scored twice for the Senators, and wingers Alex Chiasson and Mike Hoffman and center Jean-Gabriel Pageau added a goal apiece. Winger Joe Pavelski and center Chris Tierney had the Sharks' goals.

Senators goalie Andrew Hammond made 29 saves to improve his record to 14-0-1 as a starter. Sharks goalie Antti Niemi stopped 32 shots.

Blackhawks 3, Hurricanes 1

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Center Andrew Shaw and left winger Patrick Sharp scored first-period goals, and those held up for Chicago in a victory over Carolina.

Shaw added an empty-net goal with 40 seconds left, with center Jonathan Toews notching an assist on the play for his 500th career point. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford stopped 43 shots.

Chicago's Joel Quenneville recorded his 750th career NHL coaching victory, 312 of them with the Blackhawks.

Wild 2, Maple Leafs 1

TORONTO -- Right winger Thomas Vanek had a goal and an assist as Minnesota defeated Toronto.

Forward Charlie Coyle had the other Wild goal, while goaltender Devan Dubnyk made 34 saves earning his first career win against the Leafs. The Wild established a franchise best for road wins (21). Minnesota improves to a league-best 21-5-1 since Jan. 27, and it owns the NHL's best road record at 13-1-2 since Jan. 15.

Leafs defenseman Jake Gardiner had the lone Toronto goal in the third period after Minnesota jumped on top 2-0. Goaltender Jonathan Bernier made 30 saves in the loss.

Kings 3, Devils 1

NEWARK, N.J. -- Defenseman Andrej Sekera and right wing Tyler Toffoli scored first-period goals to lead Los Angeles past New Jersey.

Center Anze Kopitar added a third-period goal and had two assists. The three-point game was Kopitar's third of the season, and his first since March 3. Left wing Marian Gaborik had two assists for the Kings.

New Jersey center Scott Gomez scored a second-period goal, the only blemish against Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick, who made 19 saves.

Stars 4, Sabres 3

DALLAS -- Left winger Jamie Benn had two goals and an assist, right winger Patrick Eaves a goal and an assist and center Cody Eakin had the game-winner with 3:14 remaining in regulation as Dallas edged Buffalo.

Eakin's goal, his career-high 17th of the season, came when he sent a wrist shot from the edge of the left circle into the right side of the Buffalo net, as Sabres goaltender Anders Lindback was a touch late arriving to stop the shot.

Center Brian Gionta had two goals and left winger Matt Moulson a goal and an assist for the Sabres, who lost their third straight.

Flames 3, Avalanche 2

CALGARY, Alberta -- Thanks to a 25-save performance from goaltender Karri Ramo, Calgary walked away with a win over Colorado. The Flames continue to hold down third place in the Pacific Division.

Right winger David Jones and left winger Jiri Hudler scored early for the Flames, and left winger Lance Bouma's marker midway through the third period stood up as the game-winner. Jones and Bouma both finished with two points.

Left wingers Alex Tanguay and Gabriel Landeskog -- both set up by center Ryan O'Reilly -- replied for Colorado.

Jets 4, Oilers 1

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Winnipeg tightened its grip on a playoff spot with a victory over Edmonton.

The Jets rolled to a 3-0 lead through 40 minutes and then held strong as the Oilers, who came into the game with points in four straight games, launched a desperate third-period comeback attempt.

The Jets, trying to fend off the Los Angeles Kings for the final wild-card spot in the West, came to Edmonton on a four-game win streak despite missing defenseman Dustin Byfuglien and center Bryan Little, but had little difficulty making it five straight. Defenseman Tyler Myers and right wingers Drew Stafford, Lee Stempniak and Michael Frolik scored for Winnipeg.

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Current odds to win the college football championship next fall.........

7-2-- Ohio State-- Biggest problem is they have too many quarterbacks.

13-2-- TCU-- Horned Frogs are primed for a big season.

7-1-- Alabama-- By then, Tide fans will forget who they hired as basketball coach.

15-1-- Baylor-- Art Briles is breaking in a new QB this year.

18-1-- Michigan State-- Mark Dantonio is America's most underrated coach.

20-1-- Clemson/LSU-- Both Death Valleys will be tough places to visit.



**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind........

13) One of highlights of trip was watching Golden State hold the Wizards to one basket in third quarter Monday night, as some know-it-all nitwit behind me cursed out the Wizards out because he bet on them. Then the jackass called his wife and told her he had to work late, as he went off to a strip club with his buddy. What a gem.

12) Over last eight years, underdogs are 23-9 vs spread in regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament. Having time to prepare helps the underdog.

11) New York Rangers are now 17-4-3 since goalie Henrik Lundqvist got hurt; they'll have an interesting decision to make when the playoffs roll around.

10) Miami 63, Richmond 61-- Hurricanes were down 18 at one point.

9) Cubs want to send 3B phenom Kris Bryant down to AAA for a few weeks so they keep him under club control for one extra year; problem is, the kid has nine HRs this spring and if the Cubs are really serious about contending this serason, they need to put their best club on the field from Day One- that team would appear to include Bryant.

8) After this season, college basketball players won't be able to transfer and become immediately eligible, if they've already graduated college- that rule was becoming a problem for mid-majors, with kids skipping out for better leagues.

7) Pitt's women's team got a technical foul before the game for not putting its lineup in on time for a tournament game in Tennessee. How many assistant coaches you think they have? Talk about incompetence.

6) Saw a guy score from second base without a throw on a wild pitch in the Angel-Ranger game Tuesday; we're entering dog days of spring training for position players; spring training is as long as it is to get the pitchers ready to go.

5) How does the coach of an undefeated team not win Coach of ther Year? Don't tell me Kentucky has great players; who do you think recruited them and yes, recruiting is a big part of coaching, maybe the biggest part.

4) Brett Favre is the only QB in NFL history to start all 16 games after he turned 39 years old. Peyton Manning turned 39 this week.

3) Dodgers signed Cuban 2B Olivera to a six-year, $62M contract, even though he is rumored to have a bad elbow that will prevent him from playing 3B.

2) I highly recommend Steak 'n Shake in the South Point casino; its tremendous!!!.

1) Golden State is having a great season, but their first round playoff opponent could easily be Oklahoma City; if Durant comes back for that series, how confident are you that the Warriors will advance to the second round?

Plenty of goals leads to a night of overs

Teams scored 50 goals in eight games last night, leading to the over going 5-1-2 in NHL action Tuesday night.

The good over night bucks the recent trend as the under had been hot going 16-26 over/under in the past seven days.


Islanders go under for sixth straight game

The New York Islanders went under the total for the sixth consecutive game in their 2-1 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild Tuesday night.

During the streak the Isles have scored just 1.3 goals per game, while giving up just 2.2 goals per game in the process.

The Islanders, now 34-39-1 over/under in this season, try to make it seven in a row when they host the Los Angeles Kings Thursday.

Preview: Blackhawks (44-22) at Flyers (29-29)


Date: March 25, 2015 8:00 PM EDT

Kimmo Timonen watched Chicago clinch the 2010 Stanley Cup with its only victory at Philadelphia in almost two decades.


Hoping to finally hoist the Cup as a member of the Blackhawks, the 40-year-old defenseman returns Wednesday night to face a Flyers team that enabled him to chase that elusive dream.


Timonen spent seven seasons with Philadelphia, and was on the ice five years ago when Patrick Kane scored in overtime to give Chicago its first Cup since 1961 with a 4-3 victory in Game 6.


That remains the Blackhawks' only win in their last 13 regular-season or playoff games at Philadelphia. After the Flyers traded Timonen on Feb. 27, he makes his initial return looking to help Chicago (44-22-6) end an 0-9-1 regular-season skid at Philadelphia that dates to a 4-1 victory Nov. 9, 1996.


While it's likely to be an emotional night for the 16-year veteran, it's another on his journey to finally raise the Cup before retiring at season's end.


"If I'd won the Stanley Cup before I probably wouldn't be (in Chicago)," Timonen told the Blackhawks' official website. "So that is the driving factor here. That's why I'm here."


Sidelined because of blood clots discovered in his leg and lungs last summer, Timonen still expected to make his 2014-15 debut with the Flyers (29-29-16). But as their playoff chances dwindled, he talked with general manager Ron Hextall about a trade.


"If we're out of the playoffs, I asked Kimmo if he wanted to look at going somewhere and taking a run at winning a Stanley Cup," Hextall said.


"If Kimmo wouldn't have been amicable to being traded, we would not have traded him. He's meant too much to this organization to trade him if it was against his wishes."


Advertising Timonen's return on their website, the Flyers likely will pay tribute to the man who ranks third among active NHL defensemen with 571 points.


"Kimmo's definitely one of the really good guys in the game," Philadelphia goaltender Steve Mason said.


Though Timonen doesn't have a point and is a minus-2 while averaging 12:27 minutes in nine games with his new team, Chicago has allowed 13 goals to go 7-1-1 in those contests.


The Blackhawks rebounded from Saturday's 4-0 loss at Dallas by winning 3-1 at Carolina on Monday. Andrew Shaw scored twice and Corey Crawford made 43 saves to help Chicago win for the ninth time in 12 games .


"We'll do what we have to do to win those tight games," said captain Jonathan Toews, who recorded his 500th point with an assist on Shaw's empty-netter. "We know we could have played better, done some little things better but the main thing is to build off (it)."


Ex-Flyer Patrick Sharp added a goal and an assist.


With two assists during a 4-0 victory over Philadelphia on Oct. 21, Sharp has six and a goal during a four-game point streak against his former club.


The Flyers return from an 0-2-2 trip through Canada where they matched a club record with a ninth straight road defeat, 5-4 in overtime at Edmonton on Saturday.


"It's frustrating and disappointing," said forward Claude Giroux, who scored twice.


Philadelphia is 9-20-10 on the road but 20-9-6 at home, where it's 5-1-1 since dropping three straight to open February.


Giroux has three goals in two games after going 10 straight without one. He has one in his last 13 home contests but three scores with six assists in his last six regular-season and playoff meetings there versus Chicago.

Preview: Avalanche (33-27) at Oilers (20-40)


Date: March 25, 2015 8:00 PM EDT

A longshot to move into playoff position, the Colorado Avalanche are doing their best to remain hopeful.


Looking to avoid a third straight defeat, the visiting Avalanche try to get back on track Wednesday night against the lowly Edmonton Oilers.


Colorado (33-27-12) won six of seven after opening a five-game trip with Thursday's 5-2 victory at Arizona, then suffered consecutive 3-2 losses to Anaheim in overtime and at Calgary in regulation Monday. Sitting 11th in the Western Conference with 10 games remaining, the Avs have essentially no room for error while trying to keep their fading postseason hopes alive.


"We're probably going to need to win out or something like that in order to get ourselves in the playoffs," forward Alex Tanguay told the Avalanche's official website after reaching the 20-goal mark for the seventh time Monday.


While that's certainly a tall order, Colorado isn't ready to give up on the season.


'I will never say never,' coach Patrick Roy said. 'This is a team that I'm proud of. When you're wearing the Avalanche logo, you battle. ... Every time you're going to be on the ice, you're going to compete.'


While the effort remains there, the Avs need to start better after allowing the first goal in each game on the trip.


Though opponents have failed on all 16 power-play chances in the Avs' last eight road contests - their longest such stretch in 27 years - and they've killed 31 of 32 penalties over the last 14 games overall, they are 1 for 13 with the man advantage in the last six.


"We're going to keep playing hockey and we're going to keep doing our best to win hockey games," said forward Gabriel Landeskog, who has two goals with two assists on the trip.


Semyon Varlamov made 27 saves and Tanguay and Matt Duchene each scored in the shootout as the Avs won their third straight over the Oilers (20-40-13), 2-1 at home Jan. 2. Colorado snapped a three-game skid at Edmonton with a 4-1 victory April 8.


Though Varlamov has posted a 1.44 goals-against average while winning his last two against the Oilers, those both came at home. He's yielded 13 goals in two straight at Edmonton and has a 5.42 GAA during a three-game skid there.


The Oilers' 2-0-2 stretch ended with a 4-1 home loss to Winnipeg on Monday.


Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored for Edmonton, which recorded at least four goals five times in the previous seven contests. Losers in 11 of 14, the Oilers have given up an average of 4.3 goals and allowed opponents to go 10 of 29 on the power play in the last eight games


Losing defenseman Andrew Ference to an upper-body injury and key defensive forward Boyd Gordon to a back problem in the first period didn't help Edmonton, which allowed the Jets to score twice with the man advantage.


"We need to be a little bit better in that area," forward Matt Hendricks said.


Nugent-Hopkins has recorded four of his career-high 23 goals in the last three games to go with seven assists during a career-high tying six-game point streak. He had four goals with two assists during a five-game point streak against the Avs before being blanked in his last two meetings.

Preview: Stars (35-28) at Flames (40-27)


Date: March 25, 2015 10:00 PM EDT

The Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars have identical winning percentages this month to rank among the NHL's best.


Only one of them is in position to make the playoffs.


The Flames look to continue their postseason push Wednesday night at home against a surging Stars team that is increasingly desperate.


Calgary is 7-2-2 in March while Dallas is 8-3-0 for winning percentages of .727.


The Flames (40-27-6) are trying to hold off Los Angeles for the Pacific Division's third automatic spot as they look to cap this five-game homestand at 3-1-1.


Dallas (35-28-10) is opening a three-game Western Canada trip after sweeping a three-game homestand with Monday's 4-3 victory over Buffalo. The Stars, winners of eight of 10, seek to catch Minnesota or Winnipeg for one of the Western Conference's final wild-card spots.


"The only thing we can do is win out, try to win out," coach Lindy Ruff said. "Take it a game at a time but try to win out."


Dallas trailed entering the third period against the league's worst team before Jamie Benn had a goal and an assist over the final 20 minutes.


Benn, who scored in the first period and has six points in his past three games, suffered an undisclosed injury late in the game and did not practice Tuesday.


"Jamie is a little bit of a concern," Ruff told the Stars' official website. "He was hurting late in the game and he was sore today. We'll see. He is a question mark for tomorrow."


Stars center Tyler Seguin has 10 points in six games against the Flames, with his teams going 5-0-1. His 33 goals are four shy of last season's career high.


He's part of an offense that leads the West with 3.08 goals per game.


The Flames, meanwhile, are averaging an NHL-best 3.45 goals this month. Jiri Hudler has a league-high 17 points in March while linemates Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan are among the leaders with 13.


"That first line has had a heavy load all season and they've been great for us," winger David Jones said.


Gaudreau is in a tight race with Nashville's Filip Forsberg for the lead among rookies with 57 points.


Calgary relied on its third line of Jones, Lance Bouma and Markus Granlund to key Monday's 3-2 victory over Colorado. Those skaters combined for five points, with Jones and Bouma each registering a goal and an assist.


"They always play the same way," coach Bob Hartley said. "That's the good thing about Lance Bouma, Jonesie. You can always count on them. They go hard, they're not fun to play against."


The Flames average a West-leading 18.78 blocked shots, and finished with 24 in a 2-1 home defeat to Dallas in the only 2014-15 meeting Dec. 19.


Benn had a goal and an assist that night while Kari Lehtonen made 21 saves to improve to 7-1-0 with a 2.22 goals-against average in his last eight starts against the Flames. Lehtonen is 6-1-0 with a 1.72 GAA in his last seven starts.


Karri Ramo has started the last three Calgary games. His lone one versus Dallas came last season.


Stars defenseman Trevor Daley has missed the last nine games with a knee injury and could return on this trip.
