Blues extend Legace and Brewer

Hockey Betting Lines

02/24/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Blues have agreed to contract extensions with goaltender Manny Legace and defenseman Eric Brewer.

Legace has agreed to a two-year deal, while Brewer has come to terms on a four-year extension.

"This is a big day for the Blues organization as we move forward," said club president John Davidson. "Both players have had an excellent season and we felt it was important to keep them in the fold as we continue to build."

Legace has a record of 23-15-5 with a 2.59 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. He is tied for fourth in the league with five shutouts, and owns a mark of 12-3-1 in the second half of the season.

"Manny has been putting up the numbers that we expected him to do when we signed him last August," said Davidson. "He has done a terrific job for the club this season and has proven to be one of the top goaltenders in the NHL."

Legace, 34, signed as a free agent after six seasons with Detroit and has been a big reason for St. Louis' turnaround this year.

The Blues missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 1978-79 with a record of just 21-46-15. They have already eclipsed their win total with a mark of 26-26-9 and are on the fringe of the Western Conference playoff race.

Brewer, meanwhile, has three goals and 15 assists for 18 points in 61 games this season. He averages a team-best 24:09 of ice time.

"Eric has been durable on the blue line and he is having one of the best seasons in his NHL career," said Davidson. "He will play a big part of our defense now and into the future with the Blues."

The 27-year-old Brewer is in his eighth NHL season and second with St. Louis. He played in just 32 games during the 2005-06 campaign because of a shoulder injury.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
