LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. Jerseys Cheap NBA . -- The Montreal Canadiens held a practice in the disaster-stricken town of Lac-Megantic, Que., in a show of support Thursday for the community. The Habs rolled into town on a bus whose passengers included team owner Geoff Molson and general manager Marc Bergevin. "Driving down the road, you take a deep breath. Its hard. Its hard to see it," Molson said. "But at the same time the people are here today, and theyre happy, and it looks like the city is being rebuilt so that gives me pleasure at the same time." Cheers from the 1,300 people in the arena greeted them as they took the ice, with kids tapping on the glass to get the players attention and request autographs. It was the latest in a string of good-will gestures directed at the community, following benefit shows and free concert tickets from Paul McCartney. The Habs themselves have already held a scrimmage at the Bell Centre where cash raised from the $5 tickets went to a Lac-Megantic fund. They also invited survivors and emergency personnel to pre-season games, and held a minute of silence during a pre-game tribute. "I think we probably had 150 ideas of what we could do (for Lac-Megantic)," said Molson. "We put together a little task force. Im not going to give any individual credit. I think its a team effort and Im proud to be here." Lac-Megantic mayor Colette Roy-Laroche said watching the Canadiens play on Saturday nights on television was a sacred ritual in her family when she was growing up. "Its a pleasure and an honour to have the whole team and Mr. Molson here," she said. "Im delighted and proud. I cant find the words to express how happy we are." Goaltending coach Stephane Waite, who is from nearby Sherbrooke, Que., said the bus went quiet as it approached the town. Defenceman P.K. Subban told reporters that the team felt it was important to go to Lac-Megantic, and appreciated seeing so many happy and excited children. His teammate David Desharnais was moved by what he saw. "You see it on TV, but when you see it with your own eyes and you realize how devastating it was," he said. "Were glad we came. "I saw a lot of smiles in the stands. If we can bring a little joy to people and show them were behind them, well be happy." From the excitement in the stands, it was clear the visit was a success. "We love hockey," said Lac Megantic resident Gaston Breault. "Its a chance for us to see the Canadiens in person. "It was good of them to do this." Forty-seven people were killed, and a part of the town was razed, when a train derailed on July 5, smashing into the town centre and erupting in fireballs. The disaster has prompted various investigations and lawsuits, all of which are ongoing. There have also been policy changes in Canadas rail-safety standards, with other changes possible after an investigation from the federal Transportation Safety Board. Jerseys Cheap Paypal .

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Dear Kerry, In Friday nights game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils, a hooking penalty was called on Marek Zidlicky at 8:12 of the second period as Phil Kessel scored. The penalty was still assessed! I thought when you scored, it negated the penalty? What did I miss? Thanks,Gloria Powell-Smith Gloria, What you missed was 1:05 on the penalty clock that was being served by Andy Greene of the Devils for hooking Mason Raymond. Greenes remaining penalty time terminated by virtue of Phil Kessels power-play goal scored on a nifty coast-to-coast rush at 8:12 of the third period. A team that has been scored upon is entitled to relief of one minor penalty only so the delayed hooking penalty being signaled against Zidlicky was assessed and served with the termination of Greenes penalty. Rule 16.2 tells us that when a team is playing short-handed (below the numerical strength of its opponent) at the time a goal is scored, the minor or bench minor penalty which terminates automatically is the one with the least amount of time on the clock. (Coincidental minor penalties to both teams do not cause a team to be shorthanded.) The minor penalty expiration criteria are as follows: (Questions for the ref to consider)) Is the team scored against shorthanded? Is the team scored against serving a minor on the clock? If both criteria are satisfied, the minor penalty with the least amount of time on the clock shall terminate, except when coincidental minor penalties are being served. Cheap Nike Indianapolis Colts Jerseys. No penalty shall expire when a goal is scored against a team on a penalty shot. If the teams had been playing at even strength (or even if the Leafs were shorthanded) at the time of Kessels goal, the delayed penalty being signaled to Zidlicky would have been negated under Rule 15.2: If the penalty to be imposed is a minor penalty and a goal is scored on the play by the non-offending side, the minor penalty shall not be imposed. If two or more minor penalties were to be imposed, the captain would designate to the referee which minor penalty will be washed out as a result of the goal. In the case of a double minor penalty being imposed, one of the minor penalties would automatically terminate. Gloria, when I first joined the NHL in the mid 1970s, the situation you presented would have been treated differently under the rules. Back then, the team scored upon was not only entitled to relief of the minor penalty being served (by Andy Greene) but additionally any delayed penalty that was being signaled (to Marek Zidlicky) was also negated through the scoring of a power play goal (by Phil Kessel). cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
