Maple Leafs rally past Stars in SO for 11th straight at home
March 14, 2018

TORONTO (AP) James van Riemsdyk had his third career hat trick and Mitch Marner scored the winning goal in a shootout to lift Toronto over the Dallas Stars 6-5 on Wednesday night, extending the Maple Leafs' franchise-record home winning streak to 11 games.

Marner beat Kari Lehtonen in the third round of the shootout, completing Toronto's comebacks from 4-2 and 5-4 deficits in the third period.

Nazem Kadri and Patrick Marleau also scored in regulation for the Maple Leafs. Frederik Andersen allowed three goals on 20 shots before getting lifted just past the game's midway point with an upper-body injury.

Curtis McElhinney came on and stopped 13 shots - including two big saves on Jamie Benn during a power play in overtime - the rest of the way to help Toronto improve to 3-2-2 since star center Auston Matthews went down with a shoulder injury on Feb. 22.

Tyler Bozak, who also scored in the shootout, and Marner each added two assists to keep the Maple Leafs perfect at home since losing to Colorado on Jan. 22.

Tyler Seguin had a goal and two assists, Benn added a goal and an assist, and Radek Faksa, Remi Elie and Brett Ritchie also scored in regulation for Dallas. Lehtonen made 26 stops through overtime.

RANGERS 4, PENGUINS 3, OT

NEW YORK (AP) - Mika Zibanejad scored the tying goal late in the third period and the winner 2:53 into overtime to rally New York past Pittsburgh.

Chris Kreider had a goal and three assists for his first career four-point game, and Jesper Fast also scored to help the Rangers win their second straight after a three-game skid. Neal Pionk had three assists and Alexandar Georgiev, making his second consecutive start, finished with 37 saves. Georgiev denied Evgeni Malkin on a penalty shot with 11 seconds left in regulation.

On the winner, Zibanejad took a nice pass from Kreider and squeezed a wrist shot past goalie Casey DeSmith for his 100th career goal.

Bryan Rust, Riley Sheahan and Carl Hagelin scored for the Penguins, who lost for just the fifth time in 15 games (10-4-1). DeSmith, filling in for injured starter Matt Murray, stopped 29 shots in his ninth career start.

The Rangers, likely to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2010, are 2-0-1 in their last three games and 5-2-2 in their past nine.

In the Crease - Week 24
March 14, 2018

STREAKY TEAMS

Wins and Losses Streak Over/Under Streak

Detroit 0-6-1 past seven games overall Colorado Over 5-1-1 past seven games overall

Florida 8-1-1 past 10 games overall Dallas Under 8-3 past 11 games overall

Nashville 11-0-1 past 12 games overall Tampa Bay Over 16-3-1 past 20 games overall

Two For Florida

The Ottawa Senators picked their second consecutive road win in Florida on Tuesday, topping the Tampa Bay Lightning and earning moneyline bettors +275. That win came the night after the topped the Florida Panthers +190 on Monday night in Sunrise. In fact, their past three road games, all victories, have netted underdog bettors a cool total of +665, and they're 4-1 over their past five road games to fetch a total of +780. Remember that and maybe take a chance on the Sens when they head to Ohio's capital city on Saturday to battle the Blue Jackets.

Hit the Century Mark

The defending Western Conference champion Nashville Predators have been on a mission. They are an impressive 11-0-1 across the past 12 outings, racking up their 99th and 100th points in a potential playoff preview against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, 3-1. They have been even better on the road than at home, too, picking up at least one point in 12 consecutive away from home since losing in regulation in Vegas on Jan. 2. The Predators are 9-0-2-1 during the impressive road stretch. They look to continue the success in very winnable games at Arizona on Thursday, at Colorado on Friday and at Buffalo on Monday.

Looking Ahead

Thursday, March 15

The Maple Leafs head down the QEW and across the Peace Bridge looking to finally get it right in Buffalo. The Sabres dealt te Maple Leafs a 5-3 loss in the most recent meeting last Monday, and the Sabres have won three of the past four matchups overall in this series. Toronto will be playing in the second straight night, too, and they're 3-0-1 across their past four in the second game of a back-to-back set. Each of those games have been on the road, so the Maple Leafs do not get worn out or appear to be frustrated in such situations. The Sabres have been respectable enough lately, going a respectable 5-3-0-1 across the past nine. In the NBA, teams out of contention are often accused of, or openly partake in, tanking. In the NHL, younger teams out of contention keep plugging away and are not easy outs.

Speaking of teams not tanking, the Arizona Coyotes have been impressive over the past five weeks. They're 11-3-1-1 across their past 16 games, as the Coyotes finish up strong and refuse to tank. They have had outstanding goaltending recently, as Antti Raanta was rolling right along until an injury in early March. Darcy Kuemper, acquired from the Kings at the trade deadline, has been impressive being thrust into the No. 1 job, and even Adin Hill was solid on Tuesday. The third-stringer made a start on Tuesday against L.A., picking up his first NHL win. The Predators will be heavily favored on the road in this one, but the Coyotes are no longer a pushover.

Friday, March 16

The Sharks look to snuff out the Flames in Calgary on a light night in the NHL. San Jose has been a thorn in the side of Calgary so far, winning a pair of 3-2 decisions on Dec. 14 in Alberta, and Dec. 28 in the Bay Area. The 'under' is 5-1-2 in the past eight meetings in this series. Calgary is just 2-3 in their past five home games against San Jose, and four of those outings have resulted in one-goal games. The Flames welcomed All-Star Mike Smith back into the crease on Sunday against the Islanders and he looked a little rusty. He was much better on Tuesday, blanking the Oilers as he rounds back into form.

Saturday, March 17

It's an Original Six battle Saturday night when the Canadiens visit the Maple Leafs on the corner of Lakeshore Blvd. West and Bay Street. The Maple Leafs won each of the first two meetings this season, both in Montreal, and that ended an ugly losing streak. The Habs entered the 2017-18 season on a 14-game winning streak against the Buds, and Toronto has been dismal on home ice against them. The Leafs are 0-4-1-2 in their past seven attempts against the Canadiens on Air Canada Centre ice, last topping Montreal on home ice back on Jan. 18, 2014.

The Sharks travel to meet the Canucks on Saturday night, and they're hoping it goes better than their last trip to the Pacific Northwest. The Canucks won 4-3 in overtime on Dec. 15, as Jacob Markstrom and the home team bested Martin Jones and the visitors. It was a rare win for Vancouver at home, as they had lost 13 in a row on home ice against San Jose, including the postseason. Before that mid-December win the last time the Canucks beat the Sharks in Vancouver was Jan. 21, 2012 behind an impressive effort by Roberto Luongo in the crease.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Some prop bets for the NCAA tournament; wins by team: (Westgate SuperBook)

? wins for Villanova, 3.5 (under -$120)

? wins for Duke, 3 (under -$130)

? wins for Michigan State, 2.5 (under -$135)

? wins for Virginia, 4 (under -$140)

? wins for North Carolina 2.5 (under -$140)

? wins for Michigan 2 (under -$130


**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud??

13) USC star Chimezie Metu sat out the Trojans? NIT game Tuesday, because he doesn?t want to get hurt before the NBA Draft, which is in late June. This ignited a heated Twitter debate.

I?ll say this: Metu has the right to do as he pleases, it is a free country. But??.

In 2000, Kenyon Martin was the star of a Cincinnati team that was going to be a #1-seed in the NCAA?s, but in the first round of the C-USA tournament, he broke his leg and also injured knee ligaments, the kind of disastrous injury that Metu obviously fears now.

Long story short: Martin was still picked 1st in the NBA Draft that year; he played 15 years in the NBA, scored over 9,200 points and earned $113M in his career.

My opinion is that you should finish what you start, but thats just my opinion.

12) Klay Thompson has apparently broken his right thumb, will miss at least four games; he hasn?t missed more than five games in a season since he became a full-time starter.

11) Stupid new baseball rule: In minor league baseball this year, all extra innings will start with a runner on second base. I?m beginning to think the people who run baseball don?t like baseball.

10) Patrick Beilein is the 34-year old coach at LeMoyne, a D-II school in Syracuse; he is the son of Michigan coach John Beilein. It has been rumored that Patrick Beilein has already gotten three job offers from D-I schools this spring.

9) Ole Miss is going to hire Middle Tennessee State coach Kermit Davis, whose dad used to be the coach at Mississippi State. Rough couple weeks for the Blue Raiders, who got screwed out of an NCAA tournament bid and now are losing their coach of the last 16 years.

8) Memphis went 21-13 this year, but apparently they fired Tubby Smith this week and will hire Anfernee Hardaway as his replacement. John Calipari spoiled this fanbase forever; they ran Josh Pastner out of town after he went 166-73 with the Tigers and now they got rid of Tubby, whose career record is 597-302. Tough town.

7) Evansville fired Marty Simmons after 11 years and zero NCAA tournament bids; he went 25-9, 24-12 two and three years ago, but didn?t win Arch Madness so now he is unemployed.

6) Arizona Cardinals signed Mike Glennon as their backup QB, which is a good thing if they?re going to start Sam Bradford at QB this fall.

Bradford has a 34-45-1 W-L record in NFL, missing 48 games in his eight NFL seasons. He has a very bad knee that Mike Zimmer recently called ?degenerative.? He is not dependable.

5) There are 11 teams in this year?s NIT that would be favored over Syracuse on a neutral floor.

4) Toys ?r Us is closing its 800 stores in this country; that just sounds kind of sad.

3) Cleveland Browns? tackle Joe Thomas retired this week; the man played 10,363 consecutive snaps in the NFL without missing a play, which is astounding for an offensive lineman.

2) Saw a baseball shift this week I?ve never seen before; Kris Bryant is batting for the Cubs with a man on 3rd. San Diego put three infielders on the left side of the infield, and the 1B almost halfway to 2B. If Bryant hits the ball to the right side of the infield, not sure how they get him out, unless he hits it hard right at the first baseman.

1? Dee Gordon is playing centerfield for the Mariners this spring, at least he was until Robinson Cano strained a hamstring. Seattle?s TV guys were bragging on the Mariners? bullpen, so we?ll see how well they do this season.

**********

Armadillo: Friday's Den: Wrapping up a basketball Thursday

Night Games
16) Buffalo 89, Arizona 68? Complete ass-kicking; Bulls outhustled Arizona, they made 15-30 on the arc and they looked like the better team. Arizona kids quit in the last 10:00.

This is first time since 2012 a MAC team won an NCAA tournament game; it is only the second time in last eight years Arizona didn?t make the Sweet 16. With all their legal issues, could be a long time before they get there again.

15) Houston 67, San Diego State 65? Rob Gray scored 39 of Houston?s 67 points, including the game-winner with 0:01 left; I don?t want to say he?s a ballhog, but he took 25 shots, 15 more foul shots and he had zero assists. It is amazing how much he dominates the ball, but he made 12-25 from the floor and the Cougars advance.

14) Alabama 86, Virginia Tech 81? Pet Peeve of the Day; calling a flagrant foul when a defender intrudes the space of the guy with the ball, and the offensive player swings the ball to create space and plugs the defender in the face with the ball or his elbow. Whats he supposed to do?

20 years ago, we used to teach this about rebounding: ?Catch-Tuck-Swing? the ball, and if the guy on the other team didn?t want to get drilled in the face, he?d move his face. Now in our soft society, that would be a foul on the guy with the ball, maybe a flagrant foul. It shouldn?t be.

13) Kentucky 78, Davidson 73? Davidson hit a 3-ball with 0:00.6 to cover the spread, but now Kentucky plays Buffalo Saturday for a spot in the Sweet 16.

Kentucky went 0-for-6 outside the arc against Davidson, which ended a 1,047-game streak in which Kentucky made at least one 3-pointer. It was the longest active streak in the country, dating back to November 26, 1988.

12) Texas Tech 70, Stephen F Austin 60? Lumberjacks led by 3 at the half; but Keenan Evans scored 23 points for the Red Raiders and Tech gets their first NCAA tournament win since 2005.

11) Michigan 61, Montana 47? Griz led this game 10-0 early, but Big Sky teams haven?t won a tournament game since 2006- they?re just not good enough to beat a top 20 opponent.

10) Florida 77, St Bonaventure 62? Bonnies made tournament for first time since 2012, beat UCLA Tuesday, but ran out of gas here and got drilled by the Gators, who now play Texas Tech.

I?m still amazed one of the genius AD?s at the big money schools hasn?t scooped up Bonnies? coach Mark Schmidt? he is a very good coach. Ain?t easy to recruit players to Olean, NY.

9) Villanova 87, Radford 61? Worst game of the day, a total mismatch; now the Wildcats face their bugaboo, the second round of the tournament.

Since 2010, Villanova is 1-4 in the second round of the NCAA?s, losing two of last three years in 2nd round as a #1-seed; the one time they won was two years ago, when they went on to win the national title. Villanova plays Virginia Tech Saturday.

Day games
1) Rhode Island 83, Oklahoma 78 OT? First game of the tournament was terrific; Sooners led by 8 late in first half, then trailed by 6 with 4:10 left in regulation, before URI missed a point-blank putback at the buzzer to force OT, where the Rams prevailed.

Oklahoma winds up losing 12 of its last 16 games. URI moves on to play Duke.

2) Loyola Chi 64, Miami FL 62? Donte Ingram stuck a 3-ball with 0:00.3 left to send Ramblers on to the next round in their first NCAA appearance since 1985. Loyola outscored Miami 8-2 over the last 2:47; they were +6 in turnovers (16-10) for the game.

This is the 14th consecutive year that a #11 seed beat a #6 seed

3) Gonzaga 68, NC-Greensboro 64? Games like this are what make the NCAA tournament great. Condescending jerks like Jay Bilas think the NCAA?s should be the best 68 teams in country, rather than the champs from all 32 D-I leagues, but if that were the case, the Spartans wouldn?t have been invited? we?d get the 13th place team in the ACC.

Zags led by 12 with 16:00 left, but UNCG took a 64-62 lead with 1:46 to play- Gonzaga scored the last six points of the game. Exciting game, for sure.

4) Ohio State 81, South Dakota State 73? This game was 70-70 with 1:53 left, but then SD State fouled the 3-point shooter on the next two trips and that was that. Jackrabbits dared Ohio State to shoot 3-pointers; OSU was 12-40 outside the arc, 15-32 inside arc.

South Dakota State?s Mike Daum is an NBA player; he is a sturdy 6-8 guy with 3-point range; he had 27 in this game, and star freshman Jenkins had 16. If those two guys are back in school next year, the Jackrabbits should go dancing again.

5) Duke 89, Iona 67? Gaels shot 38.3% on arc for season; they were 5-24 in this game, as Duke ran out to a 53-39 halftime lead and coasted home from there.

6) Seton Hall 94, NC State 83? Pirates are #55 experience team in country, NC State is #179, which explains this result. Seton Hall led 51-41 at the half and held the Wolfpack off in a game with lot of fouls. Solid first season for Kevin Keatts with NC State, finishing at 21-12. ACC lost two teams already; Wolfpack and Miami.

7) Kansas 76, Penn 60? Quakers led 21-11 early, then reality set in. Penn had a senior named Caleb Wood, only senior in their rotation. He was 4-12 behind the arc in this game, only 12 shots he took all day. He shot 38% behind arc for the year; thats a good gig, just shooting 3?s.

Penn was first Ivy League team to be a 16-seed since Princeton in 1989.

8) Tennessee 73, Wright State 47? Total mismatch, other than first 2:00, when Raiders led 2-0. Vols are just so much more athletic than Wright State. Tennessee has all five of its starters back next year, so they should be even better. Wright State?s only senior starter was Grant Benzinger, son of former major leaguer Todd Benzinger? he was 2-16 from floor in this game.

Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

? Jose Altuve got a 5-year, $151M contract extension from the Astros.

? Reds gave 3B Eugenio Suarez a 7-year, $66M deal.

? There are/have been 35 college basketball coaching jobs open already this spring.

RIP to three sports figures who passed away this week:

? Tom Benson, 90, owned the New Orleans Saints and the Pelicans of the NBA.

? Ed Charles, 84, was 3B for the ?69 Miracle Mets; he was the A?s 3B when I first became a baseball fan in the mid-60?s.

? Augie Garrido, 79, who won five national titles as a college baseball coach; he was the opposing manager in the Kevin Costner baseball movie, For Love of the Game.


**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Wrapping up a full Friday of hoop

Night Games
16) UMBC 74, Virginia 54? The good news: Retrievers from the America East Conference are first #16-seed EVER to beat a #1-seed. And they won easily.

The bad news: UMBC will need a new coach in a couple weeks. Wins like this make coaches wealthy. Ryan Odom?s dad is Dave Odom, who was Tim Duncan?s coach at Wake Forest.

On January 21, UMBC lost 83-39 to the Albany Great Danes. They?ve improved.

UMBC was a 20.5-point underdog, but pointspread-wise, Norfolk State (+21.5) over Missouri in 2012 was a bigger upset than this, a 2-15 game.

15) Kansas State 69, Creighton 59? Bluejays went 3-7 in their last ten games- they really missed 6-9 Krampelj, who got hurt on January 17. Creighton was never the same after that.

How excited is the K-State traveling party tonight? A 9-seed that?ll be a double digit favorite on Sunday? first time that?ll happen, too.

14) Auburn 62, Charleston 58? Auburn?s point guard got two fouls in the first 2:00 so to make up for it, the refs screwed Charleston over the rest of the game. Auburn was 15-32 on foul line, Cougars were 7-14- their point guard fouled out with 5:46 left.

Charleston kid got hit on the elbow as he tried game-tying 3-ball in last minute, but it wasn?t called.

13)

12) Clemson 79, New Mexico State 68? WAC team hasn?t won a tournament game since Nevada won as a 7-seed in 2007. Aggies won this league for 6th time in last seven years- maybe they should jump to the Big West, a better league. Even the Big Sky would be an improvement.

11) Xavier 102, Texas Southern 83? Couple years ago in July, I was watching AAU games in Las Vegas and Xavier coach Chris Mack was there with his daughter, who was probably 9 or 10 at the time. She was in the bleachers, watching games and playing with whatever electronic device she had. I?m pretty sure Coach Mack coaches her grade school basketball team. Good guy.

10) Michigan State 82, Bucknell 78? Spartans led by 16 with 2:56 left, Bucknell fought till the end and made the score look closer than the game actually was- they made 11-20 on the arc.

9) Syracuse 57, TCU 52? Once again. Syracuse doesn?t deserve to get in the tournament, then they win two games when they get there. Orange made the Final Four as a 10-seed couple years ago- their zone defense is tough to prepare for. TCU is 45-26 in Jamie Dixon?s first two years, but this loss will sting.

Day Games
1) Nevada 87, Texas 83 OT? By far best game of the afternoon; Wolf Pack was dead in this game, down 14 with 18:40 left- they looked like a goner, but Josh Hall scored 15 points off the bench? he was the only sub Nevada used the whole game.

In 2011, Shaka Smart took VCU on a Cinderella run from the play-in game to the Final Four, winning five of six NCAA tournament games. The last five years, Smart is 0-4 in NCAA tourney games, with three of the four losses in overtime.

2) Marshall 81, Wichita State 75? Wichita took 17 foul shots in this game; Marshall?s star guard Elmore took 15, all by himself, as the Thundering Herd post a big upset.

This is first time in 10 years that two #13-seeds won their first round game.

Up next for Marshall are the West Virginia Mountaineers; these teams used to play once a year in December until two years ago, but I?m assuming West Virginia cancelled it- no way Marshall cancelled it. Now they lay for the right to go to the Sweet 16.

Dan Muller, the coach at Illinois State took a shot at former MVC rival Wichita State on Twitter after the Shockers lost this game:

?I guess switching conferences doesn?t magically make things better. Valley teams advance in the Dance?

3) Purdue 74, Cal State-Fullerton 48? This was an easy but costly win for the Boilermakers, who were just too big for Fullerton. Isaac Haas broke his elbow with about 6:00 left when he fell backwards, hit his elbow on the floor- he is done for the season.

4) Texas A&M 73, Providence 69? Aggies led by 11 with 0:29 left, gave their backers a scare by giving up eight points in last 0:29, but they hung on and covered.

A&M looked like a Final Four team back in November, then injuries/suspensions derailed their season- they play North Carolina in Charlotte Sunday.

5) Butler 79, Arkansas 62? Butler led this game 21-2 out of the gate, then it was 29-29; would like to see the plus/minus charts. This was first loss for the SEC in six tournament games.

Bulldogs play Haas-less Purdue Sunday; they lost by 15 to the Boilermakers on a neutral court back in December, when Haas scored 15 points but played only 16:00 due to foul trouble.

6) Cincinnati 68, Georgia State 53? Bearcats win their 8th straight game, in a brickfest where teams combined to go 17-57 on arc. Sun Belt teams had posted a first round upset two of last three years, but this Cincinnati squad was too athletic for the scrappy Panthers.

7) North Carolina 84, Lipscomb 66? This was first NCAA tournament appearance foe the Bisons; getting assigned to play the Tar Heels in Charlotte assured that it would be a short stay. Atlantic Sun rep covered their first tourney game for fifth time in last six years.

8) West Virginia 85, Murray State 68? Racers? really good senior guard Stark ended his career with a 1-12 shooting day against a Mountaineer squad that has two good senior guards. OVC plays entertaining ball, but they haven?t won a tournament game since 2012- they?re 3-15 in first round games the last 18 years.
