BC tops Harvard to win Beanpot

Chockey Betting Lines

02/12/2008 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nick Petrecki scored his second goal of the game at 7:07 of overtime to lead Boston College to a 6-5 victory over Harvard on Monday in the 56th Beanpot championship game.

The Eagles were controlling the extra period and outshot Harvard 7-0 before Petrecki got to a rebound during a scramble in front of the net and poked it past Kyle Richter.

It was BC's first Beanpot victory since 2004 and the 14th overall in the annual contest for the region's college hockey bragging rights.

Brian Gibbons scored twice and was the tournament's MVP, and John Muse stopped 21 shots for the Eagles (15-6-7), who beat Boston University in last week's opening round.

Boston University, which had won the tournament in 11 of the previous 13 years, missed the final for the first time since 1994 but beat Northeastern in the consolation game, 5-4, earlier Monday.

Doug Rogers had a goal and two assists for Harvard (9-11-3), which hasn't won the tournament since 1993 and was playing in the final for the first time since 1998. Richter made 27 saves for the Crimson.

The Eagles grabbed a 4-3 lead at 5:48 of the third when Matt Price dug the puck out from behind the Harvard net and backhanded it to Pat Gannon in front. Gannon whacked at it twice before it trickled between Richter's pads.

Andrew Orpik gave the Eagles a 5-3 lead midway through the third. But Harvard cut the deficit in half 52 seconds later, as Jon Pelle came over the blue line and faked two defenders onto the ice before putting the puck past Muse at the 11:14 mark.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
