Flyers G Emery to have season-ending hip surgery

Hockey Betting Lines

03/02/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Flyers announced on Tuesday that goaltender Ray Emery will have season-ending surgery to repair damage to his right hip.

The club had placed Emery, who has not skated since February 1, on long-term injured reserve Monday, due to a bothersome left-hip injury.

The procedure in question will be a bone graft to his right hip in order to relieve avascular necrosis. The surgery will be performed at an unknown date in the near future at Duke University Medical Center.

It was a sudden end to Emery's first campaign back in the NHL since he was let go by the Ottawa Senators due to poor play and discipline issues following the 2007-08 season. Emery was picked up as a free agent by the Flyers and signed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal last summer.

The 27-year-old finishes the year at 16-11-1 with a 2.64 goals-against average and three shutouts.

Michael Leighton and Brian Boucher will finish the club's final 22 games in the crease. The Flyers begin their post-Olympic slate on Tuesday in Tampa.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
