Hockey Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - Montreal, Quebec (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Montreal Canadiens announced on Friday the appointment of Larry Carriere to assistant general manager and director of player personnel.

Carriere, a Montreal native, had been a pro scout for the Washington Capitals since 2004. His tenure culminated in the parent club winning the President's Cup last season, while the Capitals' AHL affiliate in Hershey won the last of its three Calder Cup championships during Carriere's run.

"We are extremely happy to announce the appointment of Larry Carriere as assistant general manager/player personnel. Larry brings with him an important background in the NHL in several key areas such as recruitment, player evaluation and player development. He will be a key contributor to our hockey management team", said Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier.

The 58-year-old previously spent two decades with the Buffalo Sabres, serving as assistant general manager from 1995-2004 including a brief stint as general manager in 1997. He also worked as director of player evaluation for the Sabres (1993-95) as well as amateur scout (1983-1993).

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
