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.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
