Hockey Betting Lines

Alexander Semin scored the lone goal for the Capitals, who had won three of four. But Washington was able to extend its streak of games with at least one goal scored to 31 contests to start the 2011-12 season, the longest streak to begin a season since Washington went 31 games without being shut out to kick off 2009-10.

 

McLeod gave Colorado a 1-0 lead just 2:49 into the game. A Capitals player and McLeod battled for the puck along the boards near the blue line. McLeod managed to flip the puck on net and beat a fooled Neuvirth.

 

Less than a minute later, Johnson gave the Avalanche the lead back. Johnson's slapper from the right point beat traffic in front and got past Neuvirth.

 

Giguere and Neuvirth each made seven saves in the third period.

 

Colorado has won three of the last four meetings...The Avs started a four-game homestand on Saturday...Colorado has won five in a row at the Pepsi Center...Washington went 0-for-4 on the power play, while Colorado went 0- for-2 on the man advantage.

 

Jordan Eberle and Ryan Jones each scored for the Oilers, who have dropped three straight and five of six. Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 34 shots in the loss.

 

Niemi made nine saves, including a couple of stops on an Edmonton power play halfway through the frame, to give the team the win.

 

Edmonton tied the game with 2:44 left in the first when Eberle used good stickhandling down the left wing to get around the defender and cut into the front before stuffing it in the right side.

 

Skating shorthanded, the Oilers took a 2-1 lead 5:28 into the second as Jones picked off an errant pass in the neutral zone and buried his breakaway chance for his 10th goal of the year.

 

The Sharks host Tampa Bay on Wednesday...Edmonton, which finished a three-game road trip with three losses in regulation, hosts Detroit on Monday...San Jose has taken three of four from Edmonton in each of the past three seasons.

Problem with Bears?

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.

"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."

Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
