Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Alabama's athletic department turned a $33M profit last year. Thats million with an M. Whoever replaces Nick Saban someday will have a very tough job.

-- Duke-North Carolina tomorrow night will be first time in 36 years Dick Vitale is not calling the game. Could be the beginning of the end, which would be sad for a guy who has done a lot for both ESPN and raising money to fight cancer.

-- Packers cut Brandon Bostich, the guy who botched the onside kick at the NFC title game in Seattle; they had already fired the special teams coach.

-- West Virginia 62, Kansas 61-- Mountaineers shot 38% but grabbed 22 offensive boards, winning a fiercely competitive game that they needed a little bit more.

-- Looks like Amar'e Stoudemire will become a Dallas Maverick soon.

-- When Derek Jeter gets his number retired in 2016, Bronx Bombers will have 20 retired numbers; #11 will be the lowest available number. Hard to believe they're not going to retire Fred Stanley's number.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Some thoughts on basketball......

13) There are eight TV timeouts in college basketball games; each side gets five more timeouts. Do we need 18 timeouts (plus halftime) in every game? Any game? If each time got only two timeouts per game, the action would flow better, kids would play better and scoring would go up.

12) College hoop has a 0:10 rule for getting the ball over halfcourt, the NBA's rule is :08. I'm saying :07 should be the new rule. make teams jog the ball up court, be more aggressive on offense. This would help more than shortening the shot clock.

11) NBA playoff series are too long; you don't need best-of-7 series to determine the better team. Best-of-3 would be better, with Finals best-of-5. So what if higher seeds lost now and then? Little drama makes the event more interesting-- NCAA tourney is great entertainment and it is single elimination.

10) DirecTV needs to add the Pac-12 Network, they just do. Don't need multiple soccer channels, or three C-Spans, or foreign language channels. I need to see games on TV late at night. I'm willing to pay for it, even though I already pay enough, but at the end of the day, I'd like to tailor my own channel setup. Its not asking much.

9) NBA needs to set up a 64-player 1-on-1 tournament for the summer, to benefit whatever charities the players want to support. It would be great fun; they had one for two years in the 70's, but star players backed out. This would be a great event.

8) When ESPN started in the early 80's, one of the first college basketball leagues that let them televise games was the Sun Belt Conference; now they're ignored by ESPN. would be nice if the Sun Belt got a weekly game, even if it was on Sunday afternoon or late Saturday night or even Monday night. They earned it a long time ago.

7) College basketball needs to change the way the games are officiated. I'm deferring to Jeff Van Gundy on this: refs have to allow continuation on drives to the basket, the way the NBA does. This automatically raises scoring, without the game itself changing very much. I'm not big on college hoop becoming more like the NBA, but this is one way to make the game more attractive without changing very much.

What I'm saying is this: Tulane led Cincinnati 19-13 at the half Saturday. We do not need 19-13 halftime scores in basketball.

6) When UConn won the national championship last April, they become the first team since 1987 to win the national title when it was an underdog in its second round game; they were also only the fourth national champ since '87 that was favored in their first round game by less than 10 points.

5) Six of the last eight national champs were #1 seeds; UConn won the other two, as a #7 seed last year, as a #3 seed in 2011.

4) Favorites are 11-4 vs spread in the last fifteen national title games.

3) You may never have seen a Summit League game, but in the last ten years, Summit League games have led the country in best 3-point shooting percentage five times. This league is underrated; good offensive teams-- North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Oral Roberts and Denver runs the Princeton offense.

2) I'd be in favor of the NBA scaling back to a 64-game schedule to reduce the back-to-backs and number of times the best players sit out anyway. More practice time and less games would lead to higher quality of games; problem is, would the players agree to scale their salaries back by the 21.6% that the schedule would be reduced by?

1) Conference realignment has made a mockery of geography; the following series are now conference rivalries, its really hard to believe........

-- UConn-Southern Methodist, which is in Dallas.
-- Rutgers-Nebraska-- Rutgers is the state university of New Jersey.
-- UTEP-Marshall-- Long road trip from El Paso to West Virginia.
-- West Virginia-Texas Tech-- 1,505 miles from Morgantown to Lubbock.

Plenty of goals makes Monday an over night

There were a total of 55 goals scored in just eight games on Monday night, resulting in the over going 5-2-1.

The only games to go under were the Montreal-Detroit and the Tampa Bay-Los Angeles matchups.

The over has been the slightly worse bet in the NHL this season, cashing 47.9 percent of the time.

NHL roundup: Rangers rally three times, edge Isles

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Defenseman Kevin Klein scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:32 left in the third period Monday night, and the New York Rangers overcame three two-goal deficits to edge the New York Islanders 6-5 in front of a frenzied sellout crowd of 16,170 at Nassau Coliseum.

The Rangers trailed 1-0 just 11 seconds into the game, 2-0 less than 12 minutes in, 3-1 early in the second period and 5-3 less than four minutes into the third. However, center Derek Stepan and right winger Martin St. Louis scored 1:37 apart to tie the game before the midpoint of the third.

The Rangers earned a fourth straight win and their seventh in nine games. Defenseman Ryan McDonagh scored twice for the Rangers, and center Chris Kreider also scored. Rangers goalie Cam Talbot made 38 saves.

The Islanders had a four-game winning streak snapped. Center Ryan Strome scored twice, and center John Tavares, center Frans Nielsen and defenseman Johnny Boychuk all had a goal apiece. Halak finished with 36 saves.

Canadiens 2, Red Wings 0

DETROIT -- Center Tomas Plecanec's goal with 2:30 left broke a scoreless tie, and Montreal defeated Detroit for its fifth win in six games.

Canadiens goaltender Carey Price made 25 saves for his fifth shutout of the season and the 30th of his career.

Price stopped winger Gustav Nyquist from the bottom of the right circle with 2:48 left. Canadiens left winger Max Pacioretty added an empty-net goal with 10 seconds remaining.

Hurricanes 6, Senators 3

OTTAWA -- Carolina found its way back to the winning track with a victory over Ottawa. The Hurricanes, who lost their previous two games, are now 10-5-3 since the calendar flipped over to 2015.

Scoring for the Hurricanes were centers Andrej Nestrasil and Jay McClement, wingers Nathan Gerbe, Jeff Skinner and Chris Terry and defenseman Michal Jordan. Nestrasil also added two assists for a three-point night. Wingers Erik Condra, Mike Hoffman and defenseman Cody Ceci scored for the Senators.

The Senators lost goalie Robin Lehner and winger Clarke MacArthur when they collided during McClement's goal in the last minute of the second period. Neither player returned for the third.

Jets 5, Oilers 4 (SO)

WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg took another step toward the playoffs with a nail-biting shootout victory over Edmonton at the MTS Centre.

Right winger Blake Wheeler scored the winner in the skills competition to propel the Jets to a much-needed victory. Jets goalie Michael Hutchinson continued his perfect streak in shootouts this

year, turning aside all three Oilers shots. The Jets rookie has stopped all 14 shootout shots this season.

The win improved the Jets record to 30-19-10 and solidified their hold on the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The Oilers, meanwhile, fell to 16-32-10.

Avalanche 5, Coyotes 2

DENVER -- Center Matt Duchene and right winger Cody McLeod tied a franchise record with goals nine seconds apart and Colorado beat Arizona.

Left winger Gabriel Landeskog and defensemen Tyson Barrie and Nick Holden also had goals for the Avalanche. Duchene added an assist for his 300th career point and right winger Jarome Iginla and defenseman Zach Redmond had two assists each.

Colorado dominated throughout and gave goaltender Semyon Varlamov an easy night. He faced five shots through 40 minutes before being replaced by Reto Berra to start the third.

Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson and right winger Mark Arcobello had goals for Arizona. Goalie Mike McKenna had 29 saves in his first start of the season for the Coyotes.

Flames 4, Bruins 3 (OT)

CALGARY, Alberta -- Calgary had already gained a reputation this season as a team that doesn't mind going into the period trailing on the scoreboard.

The Flames proved just that again at the Scotiabank Saddledome, scoring a pair of third-period goals to erase a 3-1 deficit to send the game to overtime where TJ Brodie played hero with two seconds remaining on the clock to give Calgary a win over Boston.

With a shootout looking likely, Brodie directed one at the net and watched as the puck bounced off the top of the cage, off Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask and in to give Calgary its NHL-leading 10th win when trailing after two periods.

The Bruins, meanwhile, continue to slide and have now lost four straight. Boston has three games remaining on a five-game western swing that continues Wednesday in Edmonton.

Canucks 3, Wild 2

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Rookie center Bo Horvat and defenseman Alex Biega, playing in his first NHL game, scored third-period goals as Vancouver defeated Minnesota.

Biega gave the Canucks a 3-1 lead at 11:54 of the third when he boomed a shot from the point that screened Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk couldn't see. Center Henrik Sedin added a goal and an assist for the Canucks.

Right winger Nino Niederreiter scored twice for Minnesota, and center Jordan Schroeder had two assists. The Wild saw their franchise-tying, 10-game points streak (8-0-2) end.

Kings 3, Canucks 2

LOS ANGELES -- Center Jeff Carter's goal late in the third period was the difference, and Los Angeles captured its fifth consecutive victory with a tight decision over Tampa Bay.

Centers Jordan Nolan and Anze Kopitar added goals for the Kings, who swept the season series from the Lightning, the NHL's highest-scoring squad. Los Angeles left winger Dwight King recorded two assists.

The Lightning were coming off a 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday, but they lost for the third time in four games. Center Tyler Johnson's goal with 37 seconds left cut the deficit to one, but the Kings held on. Tampa Bay defenseman Nikita Nesterov scored his first NHL goal.

Game of the Day: Capitals at Penguins
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington Capitals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (-145, 5.5)

The Washington Capitals have turned the tables in their rivalry against the Pittsburgh Penguins and go for their third straight victory over Sidney Crosby and Co. on Tuesday in the finale of a four-game road trip. Washington has dominated the Penguins this season, posting a pair of shutout victories by a combined 7-0 after losing the previous eight matchups. Superstar captain Alex Ovechkin has pumped in 14 goals in 14 games to take over the league lead with 36.

Pittsburgh is chasing the New York Islanders while trying to fend off the New York Rangers and the Capitals in the Metropolitan Division. The Penguins fell to 4-1-1 in its last six games following a 2-1 shootout loss at the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday. Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has permitted only two goals in his last four starts but was saddled with a hard-luck loss after the Blackhawks converted on all three attempts in the bonus format.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, CSN Washington, ROOT (Pittsburgh)

LINE HISTORY: The Penguins opened as -145 home favorites with a total of 5.5

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (30-17-10): Ovechkin is coming off his second four-point game of the season, scoring twice and setting up a pair of goals by rookie Andre Burakovsky in Sunday's 5-3 win at Anaheim. "We've got so many good players on the team, but of course, Ovi's one of the best," Burakovsky said. "He's been really good this season, and his shot is incredible. So it's really important for us that Ovi's playing good." Ovechkin has scored 20 times in his last 22 games and has notched Washington's first two goals five times in the past 14 contests.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (32-15-9): Coach Mike Johnston opted to split up superstars Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to boost a struggling power play, and came away satisfied even though Pittsburgh failed on both chances and is 0-for-15 with the man advantage over the past seven games. “It gives us two dynamic units, a little bit of competition there,” Johnston said. “I thought our power play looked dangerous.” Johnston also lauded the play of former first-round pick Beau Bennett, who has assists in two straight and had a season-high nine shots on Sunday.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Penguins are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.
* Capitals are 1-5 in their last six meetings in Pittsburgh.
* Under is 5-0 in Capitals last five games following a win.

CONSENSUS: Per Consensus, 70 percent of users are behind Sidney Crosby and the Pens.
