Chockey Betting Lines

04/08/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ben Smith notched a pair of goals and one assist, as Boston College dominated Miami-Ohio, 7-1, in a Frozen Four matchup from Ford Field.

Joe Whitney added a goal and two helpers for the Eagles (28-10-3), who downed Alaska-Fairbanks and Yale to reach the semifinals for the ninth time in 12 years. BC will take on Wisconsin for the national championship on Saturday.

John Muse made 17 stops for Boston College, which advances to the NCAA title contest for the fourth time in five seasons. Saturday's contest will be a rematch of the 2006 championship contest, which the Badgers won by a 2-1 score.

Joe Hartman picked up the lone score for the RedHawks (29-8-7), who topped Alabama-Huntsville and Michigan to gain the semis.

Connor Knapp was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots over 23-plus minutes in defeat for Miami-Ohio, which was bidding to reach the title game for the second consecutive campaign. Cody Reichard finished the game allowing four scores on 21 shots.

Smith gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead on the advantage with 1:28 to play in the first period, when he redirected Whitney's slap-pass in the slot.

BC doubled its advantage at 2:06 of the second period when Jimmy Hayes was left alone in the slot to one-time a feed from Pat Mullane to convert a power- play chance.

Whitney roofed a shot from the slot at 3:08, and the Eagles led by three after two periods.

Hartman's seeing-eye shot got the RedHawks on the board at 5:19 of the third, but BC struck back for three tallies in a span of 1:35 to wrap up the game.

First, Cam Atkinson's backhander made it 4-1 at 10:10, then Patch Alber provided a four-goal bulge with 9:12 remaining, wristing his first career tally inside the left post 34 seconds later. Paul Carey finished the burst at 11:45.

Smith finished off the scoring with 3:39 remaining.

In the earlier semifinal matchup, Derek Stepan posted two goals and two assists as Wisconsin routed RIT, 8-1.

Justin Schultz and Hobey Baker Award finalist Blake Geoffrion posted a goal and one assist each for the Badgers (28-10-4), who are looking for their seventh national crown.

Tyler Brenner provided the lone goal for the Tigers (28-12-1), the Atlantic Hockey champions who knocked off perennial powers Denver and New Hampshire to reach the semifinals for the first time in school history.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
