12/09/2008 - Hannover, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hannover's stand-in captain Hanno Balitsch has been suspended for one game by boss Dieter Hecking for disciplinary reasons.
Balitsch will miss Hannover's final league match before the winter break against Arminia Bielefeld this weekend.
"There was an incident during halftime in the game against Wolfsburg, which made this decision necessary," said Hecking.
Balitsch was substituted at the interval as Hannover slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Wolfsburg.
Reports suggest there was an angry exchange of words between the two men during the break, which Hecking "couldn't tolerate."

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
