Bruins ink Seidenberg to four-year extension

Hockey Betting Lines

06/05/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins have signed defenseman Dennis Seidenberg to a four-year contract extension. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Boston acquired Seidenberg from Florida in a trade deadline deal this March, and in 79 games between the clubs he posted four goals and a career-high 28 assists.

Seidenberg, however, missed the last four games of the regular season and did not skate in the playoffs after sustaining a lacerated forearm tendon in an April 3 game against Toronto. He had surgery April 6.

In 374 career games with Philadelphia, Phoenix, Carolina, Florida and Boston, the 28-year-old Seidenberg has posted 18 goals and 98 assists.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
