A sad day.
2008-03-06 01:58:00
Yesterday was a very sad day for any Green Bay Packers fan. The heart and soul of this franchise, Brett Favre, has announced his retirement after 17 unforgettable seasons.During his career, the Packers' quarterback has made his mark in many different ways. Favre has re-written many pages of the NFL record book. Favre played 17 seasons in the NFL and started every game for the Packers since his first start in 1992 through his retirement.The NFL record book now has Brett Favre written all over: most career NFL touchdown passes (442), most career NFL passing yards (61,655), most career pass completions (5,377), most career pass attempts (8,758), most career NFL interceptions thrown (288).And for the most impressive record of them all, the most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks (253). The consecutive starts show 275 total starts if we include the playoff games. Favre also has registered the most career victories as a starting quarterback with 160. Favre led his team to two Sup...

One bad game for Price.
2008-03-04 19:23:00
Yesterday, the Montreal Canadiens began their four game trip on the west coast in San Jose to face the Sharks.Montreal's rookie goaltender Carey Price was very generous with the Sharks as he allowed six goals during the game. At least three of those six goals could've been avoided by the goaltender.The Montreal offense tried to cope with the generosity of their own goaltender as they came from behind three times during the first two periods. But during the third period, the Sharks finally managed to defend a one goal lead. Brian Campbell scored a beautiful goal with a spin move to give the Sharks a two goal lead.Final score: San Jose Sharks 6 - Montreal Canadiens 4.The Canadiens lost the first place of the Eastern conference to the Pittsburgh Penguins but are still leading their division.(Picture: Getty images.)

Habs: In first place.
2008-03-02 04:25:00
Tonight at the Bell centre in Montreal, the Montreal Canadiens were playing the New-Jersey Devils. At stake, the first place of the Eastern conference.Tonight's game was a typical New-Jersey Devils game. A defensive affair as both goaltenders did well in this one. The experienced Martin Brodeur for the Devils kept his team in the game all evening long while the rookie, Carey Price only allowed a single goal.During the second period, Mark Streit opened the score for Montreal when he batted a bouncing puck behind Brodeur. This was the 12th goal of the season for Streit, his 48th point this season. The swiss player has more points than the Canadiens' captain. At $600 000 for this season, this player is probably the best bargain in the league.The Devils tied the game before the end of the second frame when Brian Gionta found a loose puck around Carey Price and sent it into the net tying the game at 1-1.But the hottest line of the Canadiens worked it's magic again.

Tonight at the Bell centre in Montreal, around 14 000 boxing fans were present for the fight between Lucian Bute (22-0-0 18 KOs) who was defending his IBF super-middleweight title against William Joppy (39-5-1, 30 KOs), a veteran fighter at his 15th world championship bout in career.The champion was well prepared for the fight and never gave a chance to the challenger. Lucian Bute clearly won every round with meticulous offensive work and a sound defense. William Joppy was only able to hit the champion with solid punches a couple of times. But most of the time, Lucian Bute was delivering the shots to the head at a regular pace.As the fight went on, the champion continued to increase his pace while his 37-year-old opponent had to work very hard to register a single punch on target.The crowd roared and jumped on it's feet at the end of the 9th round when the champion sent William Joppy to the canvas with a barrage of shots.Lucian Bute ended the fight during the 10th round with anothe...

What if the earth came from an oyster?
2008-03-01 01:29:00
The non-scientific world came up with a shocking conclusion this week. Without any serious proof and based on a single picture grabbed somewhere on the internet, a group of lazy and ignorant people came to this conclusion: The planet earth came from a giant space oyster.The conclusion was rejected by the scientific world because they have never located any giant oyster in space.But the space oyster believers still claim that the proof is out there, while broadcasting ''ad nauseam'' the shocking earth-creating oyster picture as a solid and tangible proof of the earth's creation.On a more serious note, a website called ''Be Oyster Aware'' is providing a great source of information about those delicious mollusks.On the site, we can find many great oysters recipes and an extensive report on the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria contained in some oysters. The bacteria can be dangerous for people with liver diseases, diabetes or cancer. Those people are at risk in front of the bacteria...

A victory with a taste of deception.
2008-02-27 06:39:00
The Montreal Canadiens were hosting the Atlanta Trashers tonight at the Bell centre. The Trashers have sent Marian Hossa to Pittsburgh before the trade deadline today. The Trashers have received Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito and a 2009 first round draft pick. A big trade for the Penguins.The star player was interesting for Montreal but General Manager Bob Gainey wasn't able to convince Atlanta's GM, Don Waddell. The only move made by Gainey today was to send goaltender Christobal Huet to the Washington Capitals for a 2009 2nd round draft pick.The fans' wish to improove the team thru a trade before the deadline today was never granted. Many fans believes that the Canadiens did not get enough in return for Huet and should've kept the goaltender for the remaining portion of the season.The Canadiens played a good game versus the Trashers, winning by the score of 5-1. The winning surge for Montreal came during the third period. Montreal scored a total of four goa...

The retirement of number 23.
2008-02-23 16:54:00
Tonight before the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Columbus Blue Jackets, the number 23 worn by Bob Gainey will be raised to the roof of the Bell centre.This will be the 14th jersey retirement in the history of the club. Gainey's number 23 will join the number 9 of Maurice Richard, the number 11 of Guy Lafleur and the number 4 of Jean Beliveau only to name those.In opposition with the other great players who had their jersey retired, Bob Gainey was not an illustrious goal scorer during his career. His defensive talents and efficiency, his ability to play even injuried, marked his career with the Canadiens.The National Hockey League instituted the Frank Selke trophy in 1978, a trophy awarded to the forward who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive component of the game. Bob Gainey has won the Frank Selke trophy four years in a row, in 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981.Bob Gainey will most probably have a thought for his ex-teammates during the jersey retirement ceremony. ...

Today was the last chance for both Jacques Vileneuve and Patrick Carpentier to qualify for the first race of the 2008 NASCAR season, the Daytona 500.During the second heat where only the top two drivers were qualified for the race, Jacques Villeneuve has lost control of his car and crashed during the 15th lap, eliminating himself.As for Patrick Carpentier, he managed to stay in the race longer than Villeneuve but lost contact with the leading pack late in the heat. As he was desperatly pushing his car, Carpentier collided with the outside wall with only three laps to go.I liked the chances of Patrick Carpentier. I honestly thought that he would be able to bring his car in the top two today. His lap times were very good in general all weekend long.Both french canadian drivers will have to try to qualify themselves for the next race of the season in Fontana.(Picture: Patrick Carpentier, RDS.ca)

They classified Spielberg's decision as a ''personnal decision''. There is no mention about Spielberg's decision in any Chinese national news source of course. China is known to censor anything bad about their country or the upcoming Olympic Games .

One of the worse team of the Eastern conference this season, the Tampa Bay Lightning, extended Montreal's current losing streak tonight with a 3-2 win.The Montreal Canadiens began the match very well when Christopher Higgins scored the first goal of the game only 50 seconds into the first period. The team briefly looked like it was able to snap out of the current losing streak.But the generosity of goaltender Christobal Huet kept the Lightning in the game. First a very bad rebound on a soft shot was given by the goaltender allowing Michel Ouellet to open the score for Tampa.A great play from Mark Streit allowed Tomas Plekanec to score his 21st goal of the season, sending Montreal ahead in the game once again. But a harmless shot from Vaclav Prospal during the final minute of the first period went past Huet, tying the game at 2-2 after one period.Tampa took the control of the game from the second period on registering 27 shots on Montreal's net during the last two periods of the ga...

Even when the police asked O'Byrne about the owner of the purse he answered it was his girlfriend's.But O'Byrne was never able to name her when asked by the police.

His dedication and time spent to racing lately has been splitted with his personal life as he now also takes care of his son. (Let's forget his musical performances on his late album, please!)But as far as Patrick Carpentier is concerned, I think that he has a natural talent for oval track racing. Many of his victories in career came on oval circuits. Carpentier has a story of being very efficient to communicate with his engineers about the optimal limits of his car.

His level of anger on the ice has become dangerous for other players forcing the league to ban him for one third of the current season.THIS is for those who want to stop seeing life for it's bad sides and start looking on the bright side.

Montreal lose to Toronto.

The Montreal Canadiens have lowered their guard just a bit and were defeated by 4-2 to a hungry Toronto Maple Leafs team at the Bell centre yesterday.The home record for the Canadiens is still a problem as the team has not won two games in a row on their home ice since too long already. Tonight, Toronto was expected to rebound from a humiliating 0-8 loss to the Florida Panthers.Head coach Guy Carbonneau has warned his team that the Leafs would be tough to play but even with the coache's warning, Toronto dominated most of the matchup. The only offensive production came from the red hot Montreal line as Tomas Plekanec with his 20th goal and Alex Kovalev on a Plekanec assist scored for Montreal. The other three offensive lines, modified before the second period by Carbonneau never clicked.For tonight, Toronto can still hope that they have just begun a serious winning streak. The Leafs needs to bunch up wins right now to stay in the hunt. The goal scorers for Toronto were Kris Newbury ...
