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.

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.
