Blues extend Legace and Brewer

Hockey Betting Lines

02/24/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Blues have agreed to contract extensions with goaltender Manny Legace and defenseman Eric Brewer.

Legace has agreed to a two-year deal, while Brewer has come to terms on a four-year extension.

"This is a big day for the Blues organization as we move forward," said club president John Davidson. "Both players have had an excellent season and we felt it was important to keep them in the fold as we continue to build."

Legace has a record of 23-15-5 with a 2.59 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. He is tied for fourth in the league with five shutouts, and owns a mark of 12-3-1 in the second half of the season.

"Manny has been putting up the numbers that we expected him to do when we signed him last August," said Davidson. "He has done a terrific job for the club this season and has proven to be one of the top goaltenders in the NHL."

Legace, 34, signed as a free agent after six seasons with Detroit and has been a big reason for St. Louis' turnaround this year.

The Blues missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 1978-79 with a record of just 21-46-15. They have already eclipsed their win total with a mark of 26-26-9 and are on the fringe of the Western Conference playoff race.

Brewer, meanwhile, has three goals and 15 assists for 18 points in 61 games this season. He averages a team-best 24:09 of ice time.

"Eric has been durable on the blue line and he is having one of the best seasons in his NHL career," said Davidson. "He will play a big part of our defense now and into the future with the Blues."

The 27-year-old Brewer is in his eighth NHL season and second with St. Louis. He played in just 32 games during the 2005-06 campaign because of a shoulder injury.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
