Hockey Betting Lines
08/04/2010 -
Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins hired Doug Jarvis as an
assistant coach on Wednesday.
Jarvis spent four seasons, from 2005-09, as an assistant with the Montreal Canadiens, Boston's perennial rival, including part of the 2005-06 season
under current Bruins head coach Claude Julien when Julien was head man with
the Habs.
Prior to that, the 55-year-old served as head coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs
of the American Hockey League for two years and also worked for 14 seasons
(1988-2002) with the Minnesota/Dallas franchise.
The Ontario native played for three clubs from 1975-88, and is currently the
record-holder for most consecutive games played with 964 -- the exact number
of games he played in his career. He won four Stanley Cups with the Canadiens
from 1976-79, helping beat the Bruins twice in that span (1977-78).
Former NHL defenseman Doug Houda and Geoff Ward round out Julien's assistants.

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.
