10/06/2007 - Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Edmonton Oilers extended the contract of general manager Kevin Lowe for four years, keeping him with the team through the 2011-12 season.
Lowe, who played for the Oilers and was part of all of the team's five Stanley Cup championships during his 15 seasons in Edmonton, became the general manager on June 9, 2000. He most recently helped the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006 before losing to Carolina. However, last season the Oilers managed just 71 points and finished last in the Northwest Division.
"This franchise is measured upon the quality of the key management people and the quality of our hockey players. Therefore this is a very important announcement for our franchise," said Cal Nichols, Chairman of the Edmonton Investors Group. "The Edmonton Investors Group also acknowledges his stature as a pillar in the community, which brings even more value to this team, this city, and the greater Edmonton community. Edmonton should feel fortunate to have him as our general manager, and we are thrilled to be able to make this announcement today."
After retiring from the game following the 1997-98 season, Lowe joined the Oilers staff as an assistant coach under Ron Low, and in 1999-2000 he became the team's seventh head coach.
"I feel very fortunate to be able to work in the environment Kevin has created here," Oilers current head coach Craig MacTavish said. "There has never been any question that he's willing to do anything at any time to help this hockey club, and that enables the coaches, players, scouts, and all of hockey operations to concentrate on winning hockey games."

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
