06/09/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago Blackhawks are tied at 1-1 after one period of play in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals from Wachovia Center.
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 the 16:49 mark.
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.
Flyers netminder Michael Leighton was peppered with 17 shots in the first 20 minutes and made 16 saves. Niemi was only tested seven times and stopped six.
Chicago was awarded the game's first power play at the 8:42 mark when Pronger was sent off for holding, and save for one shot that hit the left post early in the advantage, the Flyers were equal to the task.
The Flyers then worked on a power play with 6:32 to play in the first on a Sopel interference call and were not credited with a shot despite good pressure.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
