Bruins' Savard has Grade 2 concussion

Hockey Betting Lines

03/08/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard has a Grade 2 concussion, general manager Peter Chiarelli announced Monday.

There is no timetable for Savard's return. He will be monitored by the Bruins medical staff and team physician Dr. Peter Asnis, who diagnosed the concussion along with a concussion specialist from Massachusetts General Hospital, over the next 4-5 days. The medical team is expected to have an updated prognosis at that time.

Savard left Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Penguins on a stretcher after being drilled by Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke.

Cooke, who is known for his physical nature, caught an unsuspecting Savard in the head with a shoulder moments after he released a shot from the high slot.

Savard lay on the ice motionless for several minutes while being attended to by the medical staff. He was eventually taken away on a stretcher.

No penalty was called on the play, which occurred with 5:37 remaining in the third period.

Savard, in his 12th season, has played just 41 games and has 10 goals and 23 assists.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
