Caps to part ways with three

Hockey Betting Lines

06/15/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Capitals announced on Tuesday that they will not bring back forwards Brendan Morrison and Scott Walker, and defenseman Joe Corvo.

Morrison completed his 12th NHL season, and first with the Caps, registering 12 goals and 42 points in 74 games. He was held to a single assist in five playoff contests.

Walker split his 15th pro campaign with Carolina and Washington, connecting for five goals and eight points in 42 games. He was held scoreless in his lone playoff appearance.

Corvo was a late addition to the club in a trade-deadline deal with the Carolina Hurricanes, and recorded two goals with six points in 18 regular- season games along with a goal and one assist in seven playoff tilts.

Despite posting the best record, win total and point total in franchise history, and winning the President's Trophy as the team with the best record in the NHL, the Southeast Division champs were upset in the first round of the playoffs in seven games by the eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens.

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.
