Neely headlines Lester Patrick recipients

Hockey Betting Lines

09/02/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Boston Bruin great Cam Neely was among four recipients of the 2010 Lester Patrick Trophy named Thursday.

Also presented with the award were college coaches Jack Parker and Jerry York and American Hockey League president David Andrews. The trophy is awarded to those who have shown outstanding service to hockey in the United States.

Neely, one of the most prolific power forwards in the history of the sport, scored 395 goals and had 299 assists over 726 regular-season games, the bulk of which were spent with the Bruins. He added another 57 goals in 93 playoff tilts.

He recorded three 50-goal seasons, including in 1993-94 when he played just 49 games due to injury.

Neely retired following the 1995-96 season and had his No. 8 jersey retired by the Bruins. After being voted into the Hall of Fame in 2005, he joined the Bruins front office as vice president and was named team president this past June.

Parker won three straight Beanpot Tournaments with Boston University from 1966-68 and has been the coach at the school since 1973. As a coach, he has guided the Terriers to three national championships (1978, 1995 and 2009) and is one of three coaches in NCAA history to reach the 800-win plateau. He is the only one, though, to have done it at one school.

York coached at Clarkson and Bowling Green before returning to his alma mater at Boston College in 1994. Since coming to the Eagles, he has guided the team to three national championships, including the 2010 title. His 850 career victories is second all-time to Ron Mason's 924. He also took Bowling Green to an NCAA title in 1984.

Andrews has been president of the AHL since 1994 during which time the league has experienced a wealth of expansion and growth. He was instrumental in bringing all 30 NHL teams' top developmental affiliates under the AHL umbrella and in 2001 led one of the largest expansion efforts ever in professional sports, bringing nine new cities into the fold, including six from the former International Hockey League.

The enterprise expanded the league beyond its traditional Atlantic seaboard borders to locations such as Chicago, Toronto, Cleveland, Houston, San Antonio, Winnipeg and Milwaukee. The league is scheduled to further expand in 2010-11 to Charlotte and Oklahoma City.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
