12/17/2008 - St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bertuzzi's goal with 1:12 left in overtime, his first in 20 games, sent Calgary past Minnesota, 3-2, at the Xcel Energy Center.
On the game-winner, Daymond Langkow dove inside the Wild blueline at the left point to keep a loose puck in the zone. The disc slid all the way to the open Bertuzzi in the slot and he lifted a backhander high and inside the right post to give Calgary the win.
Bertuzzi's drought extended back to November 2 at Anaheim, the club for which he played last season.
Langkow and Craig Conroy tallied in regulation for the Flames, who have won two in a row.
"We've been playing well on the road as of late," Bertuzzi said. "We've shored things up in all three zones. It's a good way to go heading back home and nice to get points in the division."
Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 25 shots for his 18th win of the season.
Andrew Brunette had a goal and one assist for the Wild, who have lost six consecutive games and fell to 1-6-1 in December. Marian Gaborik, in his first game back since missing two months with a hip injury, scored the tying goal late in regulation and added a helper.
Niklas Backstrom allowed three goals on 30 shots for his fifth defeat in six starts.
Calgary picked up the game's first goal with 7:03 left the second period. Langkow carried down the left wing near the goal line and dished into the slot, where the puck caromed off a Minnesota player and into the net.
Brunette answered for Minnesota less than a minute later, but Conroy lifted a wrister over Backstrom's glove at 16:25 for the Flames' go-ahead tally.
Gaborik forged a 2-2 deadlock with 4:43 left in regulation, left alone in the slot to slam home Brunette's centering feed.
"We're in a little bit of a rut here, having trouble putting 60 minutes together," noted Brunette. "It's killing us right now."
Game Notes
Calgary won six of eight meetings a year ago...Gaborik's only other goal this season came on October 14 in Atlanta...The Flames begin a five-game homestand by hosting the Blackhawks on Friday, while the Wild host the Islanders also on Friday.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
