Blackhawks hold one-goal lead after two periods in Game 6

Hockey Betting Lines

06/09/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks are just 20 minutes away from claiming their first title in 49 years, as they hold a 3-2 lead over the Philadelphia Flyers after two periods of play in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals from Wachovia Center.

The home team assumed a 2-1 edge at the eight-minute mark of the second, thanks to a miscue in the neutral zone. Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith fell while trying to gather the puck, freeing up Ville Leino to swoop in, charge through the middle and dish on the right side to Danny Briere, who waited a second to lift the puck high over a fallen Antti Niemi.

The visitors then struck for two goals in the latter portion of the period.

On the first, in a 4-on-4 situation, Patrick Sharp was alone in front to tip home a Dave Bolland centering feed through Michael Leighton's pads at 9:58.

Andrew Ladd was able to put the Blackhawks ahead with a deflection of a long shot at the 17:43 mark, when Niklas Hjalmarsson unleashed a slapshot from below the left circle that beat Leighton thanks to a tip on the short side.

Chicago, which held a 17-7 edge in shots after one period, moved ahead by a 27-13 count heading into the third.

The Blackhawks got on the board during their second power-play opportunity of the period, with Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger off for high-sticking.

After a scrum to the right of the Philadelphia net, Dustin Byfuglien was alone at the top of the crease to shovel home a centering feed by Jonathan Toews at 16:49.

Blackhawks backliner Brent Seabrook was given an elbowing penalty seconds after the score but Philadelphia came up empty. Chicago blueliner Brent Sopel followed with an interference infraction with 53 seconds to play in the first and the home team finally capitalized.

Danny Briere shot from the bottom of the right circle, and the rebound came out to Scott Hartnell, who backhanded the puck through Antti Niemi's legs while facing away from the cage at 19:33.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
