Chockey Betting Lines

04/06/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nathan Gerbe had two goals and two assists as the Boston College Eagles reached the championship game by defeating the North Dakota Fighting Sioux, 6-4, in the Frozen Four.

Boston College will next due battle with Michigan State, which advanced to its first championship game since 1987 with a 4-2 win over Maine earlier on Thursday.

Dan Bertram also scored twice for the Eagles (29-11-1), while netminder Cory Schneider finished with 26 saves.

Chris Porter scored two goals and T.J. Oshie had a goal and two assists for the Fighting Sioux, who were seeking their first title since 1997. Philippe Lamoureux ended with 39 saves in net for North Dakota.

With the score tied 2-2 after two periods, Boston College took the lead with seven minutes left in the third when Gerbe skated through the North Dakota defense and found Ben Smith for the score.

After a turnover behind the Boston College net, Oshie scored a short-handed goal to tie the game with 4:38 remaining, but just 32 seconds later, Gerbe scored his second of the game on a one-timer from the slot to put the Eagles back in front for good.

Joe Rooney's empty-net goal with 50 seconds left made it 5-3 for Boston College, but Porter scored his second goal of the game on a North Dakota power play and Lamoureux was pulled for the extra attacker.

Gerber, though, iced the game with another empty net goal to seal the win.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
