08/24/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks officially brought
in free-agent forward Fernando Pisani, signing him to a one-year deal on
Tuesday.
Terms of the contract were not released, but TSN of Canada reported last
Wednesday that the deal is worth $500,000.
A native of Edmonton, Pisani spent his entire seven-year career with the
Oilers. Last season, he was limited to 40 games and tallied four goals with
eight points and was a minus-16.
Since breaking into the NHL in 2002, the Providence College product has
compiled 80 goals and 153 points in 402 regular-season games.
The 33-year-old's breakthrough came in the 2006 playoffs, when the Oilers
dropped a seven-game Stanley Cup Final to Carolina. The defensive specialist
tallied 14 goals and 18 points in 24 postseason tilts, and kept Edmonton's
title hopes alive with a short-handed, breakaway game-winning goal in overtime
of Game 5 in that series.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
