Turco, Stars snap Capitals' home streak in SO

Hockey Betting Lines

03/08/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Loui Eriksson scored in the fifth round of the shootout and Marty Turco stopped a career-high 49 shots as Dallas rallied in the third and ended Washington's 13-game home-winning streak with a 4-3 win at Verizon Center.

In the fifth round after Brendan Morrison was poke-checked before he got a shot off, Eriksson skated in on net, slammed on the brakes right in front and slid the forehand into the net.

Trevor Daley, James Neal and Brad Richards all had third period goals for the Stars, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Alex Ovechkin scored twice to snap a six-game goal drought while Tom Poti also had a goal for the Capitals, who had not lost at home since a defeat at the hands of Carolina on December 28. Semyon Varlamov stopped 23 shots in the loss.

Despite allowing the two goals, Turco did all he could to keep his team in the game as he made 40 saves through the first two periods, and his team repaid his hard work in the third.

A pair of power plays helped Dallas tie the game as Richards got the team on the board just 1:33 into the frame when his one-timer from the right circle got past Varlamov. Just over three minutes later, Daley's shot thrown on net from the left point got through traffic.

A bit over three minutes after that goal, the Stars took their first lead of the game as Neal's shot from the left circle on the fly fooled Varlamov for his 25th goal of the season.

Ovechkin, though, tied the game with 3:16 to play as he received the puck on the fly along the left wing, made a move to get to the inside and, off one foot, snapped the puck into the right corner.

The Caps got on the board at the 2:51 mark of the first period as a pass from David Steckel at the right boards went to the slot where Poti gathered the puck and wristed it into the left corner.

Washington took a 2-0 lead on the power play with 5:23 to play in the second period as Ovechkin's simple wrister at the top of the right circle found the back of the net.

Problem with Bears?

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.

"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."

Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
