Bruins give Recchi one more year

Hockey Betting Lines

06/25/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins brought back 42-year-old forward Mark Recchi on a one-year deal Friday.

The Boston Herald reported the deal is for $1 million with possible incentives.

Recchi posted 18 goals and 43 points in 81 regular-season games with the B's a season ago. He added six goals and 10 points in 13 playoff contests as Boston reached the conference semifinals before suffering an epic collapse against Philadelphia.

A seven-time NHL all-star and two-time Stanley Cup Champion with Pittsburgh and Carolina, Recchi has played in 1,571 regular-season games over 21 seasons.

The native of Kamloops, British Columbia has piled up 563 goals and 922 assists for 1,485 points. He has recorded 16 career 20-goal seasons, seven 30- goal seasons, four 40-goal seasons and one 50-goal season to his credit. In 164 career playoff tilts, the diminutive winger has tallied 56 goals and 77 assists.

The Bruins have the second-overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft, which kicks off later Friday in Los Angeles. The club was able to get the coveted slot in the deal that sent Phil Kessel to Toronto last off-season. Highly-touted Canadian junior forwards Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall are expected to be selected with the first two picks.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).

To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
