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.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
