Blackhawks sign Madden away from New JerseyHockey Betting Lines07/02/2009 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks have signed center John Madden to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal for the long-time New Jersey Devils defensive standout were not disclosed, but the Newark Star-Ledger had reported it to be worth $2.75 million. Madden had spent his entire career with the Devils, helping the club to a pair of Stanley Cup titles. He posted seven goals and 16 assists in 76 games last season, but is best known for his ability to shut down top opposing centers. The 36-year-old veteran won the Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive forward in 2001 and was a finalist for the honor in 2003, 2004 and 2008. He also holds the Devils franchise record with 17 short-handed goals. "John is a proven winner and one of the premier defensive forwards in the game who also has the talent to contribute with timely offense as well," said Blackhawks general manager Dale Tallon. "Adding his experience to our team is an important piece to the puzzle." Madden notched a career-best 43 points during the 2007-08 campaign and owns career totals of 140 goals, 157 assists and 297 points over 712 regular-season games. He has chipped in 20 goals and 21 assists for 41 points in 112 playoff tilts.

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.
