Hockey Betting Lines

08/16/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Lightning traded goaltender Karri Ramo to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for goaltender Cedrick Desjardins on Monday.

"We are happy to be able to add Cedrick to the Lightning today," said Tampa Bay president and general manager Steve Yzerman. "With his American Hockey League experience, he will provide excellent goaltending depth for the organization, allowing us to be patient while Dustin Tokarski and Jaroslav Janus further mature and develop."

The 25-year-old Desjardins has yet to appear in the National Hockey League, but has appeared in 90 American Hockey League contests, all with Hamilton.

Last season with the Bulldogs, the young netminder saw action in 45 games, winning 29 with six shutouts and posted a stellar 2.00 goals-against average. Desjardins has compiled a 49-27-5 mark with a 2.34 GAA and .909 save percentage in his tenure with Hamilton.

Ramo, 24, played for Omsk Avangard of the Kontinental Hockey League last season and was 21-17-4 with a 2.11 GAA and .913 save percentage in 44 games.

Over parts of three seasons with Tampa Bay from 2006-08, Ramo was 11-21-10 with a 3.35 GAA and .895 save percentage in 48 career games -- 40 starts.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
