Hockey Betting Lines

03/01/2007 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Blue Jackets announced on Thursday that goaltender Pascal Leclaire will miss the rest of the season with a nagging left knee injury.

The 24-year-old Leclaire recently re-aggravated a knee injury that originally forced him to miss 20 games earlier this season. In December, he underwent successful arthroscopic knee surgery but missed several games.

Leclaire then returned to action in early February and played in three games before being placed on injured reserve on February 22 for the second time this season with stiffness and swelling in his knee.

Leclaire, the former eighth overall pick of the 2001 draft, struggled this year, going 6-15-2 with a 2.97 goals-against average and .897 save percentage.

In 59 career games, Leclaire is 17-32-5 with a 3.13 GAA and .905 save percentage.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
