Roenick, Hatcher brothers head 2010 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame class

Hockey Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeremy Roenick headlines a list of five members that make up the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2010.

The class, which also includes Derian Hatcher, Kevin Hatcher, Art Berglund and Dr. V. George Nagobads, will be enshrined on October 21 at HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York.

"These five individuals truly represent the very best of our sport in many different facets, and their contributions have been truly extraordinary," said Ron DeGregorio, president of USA hockey. "We look forward to their formal induction in Buffalo this October."

Roenick spent 20 seasons in the NHL with Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Jose and registered 513 goals and 1,216 points in 1,363 career regular season games. He was named an NHL All-Star nine times and is the second-highest American-born goal scorer in league history.

The 40-year-old advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals once, with Chicago in 1992, and also played in two Olympic Winter Games.

Derian Hatcher played 16 seasons as a feared defenseman with the Minnesota/Dallas franchise along with Detroit and Philadelphia. His most notable accomplishment was becoming the first American-born captain to win the Stanley Cup -- with the Stars in 1999. In 1,045 regular season games, Hatcher scored 80 goals and recorded 331 points.

Kevin Hatcher, Derian's older brother, spent 17 seasons in the NHL as a defenseman with Washington, Dallas, Pittsburgh, the Rangers and Carolina. He scored 34 goals during the 1992-93 season to become one of only seven defenseman in league history to surpass 30 goals in a season, and scored 227 times overall in 1,157 career regular season games.

Berglund had an extensive career in international hockey that spanned five decades, serving on the administrative staff of more than 30 U.S. teams in several worldwide tournaments. He served as the general manager of nine U.S. Men's National Teams and eight U.S. National Junior teams and was also involved with six U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Teams.

Dr. Nagobads served 34 years as the team physician for the University of Minnesota men's ice hockey program and also served in the same role for five U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Teams, among many other American international hockey teams. He also spent some time serving as a physician for the Minnesota North Stars from 1984-92.

He was also physician for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team that captured the gold medal in Lake Placid.

Pacific-10 Conference odds

Teams that should be in: Stanford

Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.

Should be in:

Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.

Southeastern Conference odds
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State

It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.

Work left to do:

Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney.

Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson.

Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable.

Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile.
