Canadiens Rip Islanders For First Win In Regulation This Season

Ross Everett — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:15:59 +0000

The Montreal Canadiens have gotten off to a slow start this season, and entered Thursday night’s game against the New York Islanders having gone thirteen games without a win in regulation dating back to last season. Apparently, all they needed to cure their ails was a team that was struggling more than they are. The Habs jumped on them early scoring three goals in the first two periods en route to a 5-1 victory at the Bell Centre. Montreal improved to 4-5-0 with the victory while the Islanders dropped to 1-4-3.

NHL hockey betting devotees who weren’t scared away by the -180 home favorite price tag on Montreal cashed their tickets with the Canadiens’ big win. It was the sixth win for the Habs in their last eight meetings with the Islanders. The six goals scored just managed to go OVER the posted total of 5′. The Canadiens went OVER for only the fourth time in nine games, while the Islanders have gone OVER in five of their nine contests.

The struggling Montreal offense finally woke up, helped by a 43-22 shots on goal advantage. When Montreal opened a 2-0 lead in the first period it marked the first time this season that they’d led by more than a goal, a fact that surprised left winger Mike Cammalleri:

“We’re making it hard on ourselves. That’s something — I didn’t realize that until right now but that makes sense. Every game’s been so tight, and it’s important to try and win in tight games and find ways to win those games but at the same time you can’t do that 82 times a year and then however many games in the playoffs, so it was important to get out to a little bit of a lead and hang on to one tonight.”

Montreal goaltender Jaroslav Halek played well in relief of starter Carey Price, but lost his shutout bid when he misplayed a puck just seconds into the final period. Cammalleri described a conversation he had with Halek after the game:

“After the game I went to give him a hug and he said, ‘I don’t like shutouts. And I said, ‘Well, you better like shutouts!’ But he played great when we needed him tonight, made some solid saves, and we’ll let that one go.”

Islanders’ coach Scott Gordon admitted that his team made it easy for the Habs’ to dominate:

“We were a pretty easy team to play against. Defensively we were on our heels because of all our turnovers and it wasn’t just in one area, it was coming out of our zone, it was situations where we had full control of the puck and we’re not making plays. It’s probably the worst that I’ve ever seen it tonight and it’s something that we’ve got to get better at.”

Montreal plays their next two games at home, hosting the New York Rangers on Saturday night and welcoming the Islanders back to the Bell Centre for another game next Monday night. The Islanders have a Saturday night home game against the Washington Capitals before their return engagement with Montreal. They’ll then return home to play their regional rivals the New York Rangers on Wednesday.

Rams Foil Comeback Attempt To Beat Bengals In Preseason NFL Play

Ross Everett — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:08:19 +0000

Kyle Boller filled in for an injured Mark Bulger, and the St. Louis Rams improved to 2-1 on the NFL preseason with a 24-21 victory over the host Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams led 24-14 heading into the fourth quarter, but a Bengals TD early in the frame made for some drama down the stretch. The Bengals couldn’t close the deal, however, and dropped to 1-2 on the NFL preseason.

Boller did withstand a hard hit from linebacker Keith Rivers that knocked his helmet off his head. Despite the hit, he Rams #2 QB was 14 of 20 for 96 yards. After the game, he talked about the play:

“I could have slid a little earlier. It is what it is. My chin strap hit just above my eyes. It was a good scramble, but maybe if I can get down a little sooner, the coaches would like that.”

Rivers insisted the hit wasnt intentional:

“I was just trying to get to the ball. It wasn’t anything intentional.”

Boller had struggled last week after starting QB Bulger was forced to leave the game with a broken pinkie finger but played well this week. Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo gave him credit in his postgame media comments:

“He moved the team. He drove us down there after the bad start. When you score on a drive, the quarterback deserves the credit.”

Bengals second string QB J.T. O’Sullivan didnt have it quite so easy”he was sacked three times, lost a fumble and had two passes deflected by linemen. The lost fumble added to the Bengals NFL preseason turnover woes”theyve lost five fumbles and thrown three interceptions for eight turnovers in three games. He spoke of his performance and the need to minimize turnovers afterwards:

“We’ve just got to find a way to eliminate it. It puts you in such a disadvantage any time you turn the ball over. That’s one of the things that has to change immediately.”

Head coach Marvin Lewis concurred:

“When you turn the football over, you have a difficult time winning, whether you’re playing in the regular season, the preseason, junior high, sixth grade, whatever it is.

St. Louis will get the NFL regular season underway on Sunday, September 13th as they travel to the Pacific Northwest to face the Seattle Seahawks. The Bengals open the NFL regular season at home against the Denver Broncos.

A Pocket Packed With Quarters: Playing Arcade Games Machines In Moderation

Josh LeGermie — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:33:43 +0000

“I got a pocket packed with quarters, and I’m headed to the arcade games,” sang Buckner & Garcia in the 1980s melody “Pac-Man Fever.” These days, machines are still gobbling up quarters – occasionally 4 or more at a time – quicker than Pac-Man can take in those pac-dots. Those quarters can also add up quickly, and we usually aren’t aware just how much we are actually feeding into machines. How can you balance a need to let your sons or daughters enjoy themselves on a ride or game now with the desire to save for his or her future? How you avoid spending an hour or so weekly working to cover your snacks from the company’s break area?

First of all, keep in mind just how much you’re paying. From time to time treating your youngsters to a coin operated ride at the nearby mall or getting yourself a snack from a snack machine won’t break your budget, but if you allow your little one to ride every ride every time you pass it or you get three drinks from the work snack machine every day, you could be spending more than you realize. Bring only enough change (or dollar bills) to make thought out buys, and get away from the change-making devices.

Stay clear of bubble-gum machines that dispense toys. The toys are inevitably disappointing, and there’s a chance you’re tempted to continue to feed quarters in the machine until your little one gets the one she wants. Quite often, these toys are dumped promptly.

Save the quarters for trips to a family fun arcade. Look for bargains prior to going, and also use them. Visit when the arcade games center is not busy to maximise fun for children. You can enjoy an hour of family entertainment for a few bucks, and you will actually get some bubble-gum machine toys as part of the package.

Take into account alternatives. When you are a true enthusiast of a particular video game (or arcade games in general), you might in fact spend a smaller amount if you purchase yourself a game for home – no matter if it’s a geniune arcade game or a gaming system with several arcade games is up to you. With your own arcade game, you can always possess the high score! Exactly the same idea relates to food vending machines. When you are regularly paying a lot on food or beverages from vending machines, purchase yourself a supply of snacks or soda pops to take along to work or school. Those individual goody bags are more affordable at the grocery store or wholesale club, and a big bag is actually less expensive yet.

Quarters accumulate -the arcade game industry makes $8.1 billion in profits, based on the website of BMI Gaming, a business that sells coin-operated machines. The next time you are lured to pay out a pocket full of quarters on anything, make an effort to stop and think first. That arcade game or vending device could give you a quarter’s worth of amusement, but you could be much better saving those quarters for something you are going to appreciate a lot more.

Smallville Season 10 – Michael Rosenbaum Is Not Returning

Rachel Manus — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:22:10 +0000

The CW network has announced that it will bring Smallvilleback for a 10th season, but unfortunately Lex Luthor is not coming along for the ride.

The long-running reboot of the Superman story, starring Tom Welling as Clark Kent and Erica Durance as Lois Lane, has enjoyed a ratings revival after being moved to Friday nights in the fall and will stretch it’s run into season ten with an unexpected rush of momentum. Smallville is currently the CW’s best performing show for male audiences and has dramatically improved their Friday night ratings.

Rumors were flying that Michael Rosenbaum would also return to the series and reprise his iconic role as Clark Kent’s greatest enemy Lex Luthor, but Rosenbaum has sadly debunked that report through Twitter.

Smallville revolves around the adventures of Clark Kent, a reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper and also a hero currently called The Blur, as he journeys from small town Kansas farm boy to Metropolis superhero. Clark Kent’s allies include the Green Arrow, who is played by Justin Hartley, and his enemies include the villainous Zod played by Callum Blue.

The current cast of Smallville also includes Allison Mack, whose Chloe Sullivan was created just for Smallville and was not originally a DC comic character. Allison Mack is the only series regular from Smallville season one still on the show besides Welling. This season Chloe’s role as Watchtower for the Justice League has given her a place in the traditional Superman mythos for the first time.

During the current season it’s been revealed that Lex Luthor is still alive and was not killed by the Green Arrow as previously thought. Michael Rosenbaum played Lex through season seven and fans had hoped he would make a return.

Smallville premiered on the CW back in 2001. Tom Welling has now portrayed Clark Kent longer than any other actor, except Christopher Reeve who played him over a long span in the Superman movies.

Smallville was developed for television by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar based on the popular DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson serve as the current executive producers.

A Short Synopsis Of The Science Fiction Thriller Movie Alien

Corrine Spencer — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:24:16 +0000

If you are looking into an article such as this one, than I can venture a guess that you are wanting to learn a little more about one of the most horrifying science fiction pieces of cinema in the world today, “Alien”. Through the upcoming paragraphs, you will get a detailed plot synopsis as well as some interesting things that you might care to know about the film in general.

This was by no means the first extraterrestrial based film to be released, so people were fairly familiar with what they thought an alien should look like on screen. However, this movie gave audiences an outer worldly being unlike anything that they had ever seen before. To say the least, there were several differences between these creatures in earlier interpretations to what the minds behind this film brought.

One of the first and most noteworthy differences between the predecessors and the new revamped ones, would be that these creatures were not just slow moving awkward beings. Rather, they were highly intelligent, terrifying to look at, and even deadlier to be around than anything that might have hit the screen before it.

They were creatures that fed on fear as much as they fed on the lives of humans. They walked on all fours and they stalked and hunted their prey, which in this case was a group of unknowing space miners. They had several sets of teeth, and they salivated a substance that could eat through metal floors with ease. While you don’t learn it in the original release, but in the sequels, most of them report to a much larger and much more terrifying queen.

The humans of the film are part of a mining expedition out in space when they hear a distress signal coming from a planet that they are passing by. So they unload their tow and leave it in orbit while they head to the planet to see if they can help. It doesn’t take them long to learn that this was no distress signal at all, and they are most certainly not alone on the planet. Dallas and Kane, two crew members head out and encounter the creatures first when one attaches to Kane’s face and won’t release.

But unbeknown to them at first, the crew later learns that they were meant to land on the planet and retrieve one of these creatures, whether they themselves actually made it back to Earth alive or not. They try many different ways to escape, and many of the crew is killed in the chaos. Ripley manages to escape on a shuttle after hitting the self destruct button on the ship, but not without an alien clinging to the outside portion of her craft trying to get in. When the creature attempts to enter through the thruster vents, she fires them on which kills the creature and she is able to make the trip back to Earth.

Powerful performances make this movie a classic. Perhaps the most important of these roles was that of Ripley which was portrayed by Sigourney Weaver. But hers was not the only impressive performance that made this movie so incredible, you might also look for great acting from Tom Skerritt (Dallas) and John Hurt (Kane).

So if you cared to learn a little more about the “Alien” franchise, this should have been a help to that end. There is a lot to know, but if you haven’t seen the film you should start there, and then you might consider renting the sequels just so that you are completely up to speed.

NJ Jets Demolish Houston In NFL Opener

Ross Everett — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:28:52 +0000

New York Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez tracked down NFL legend Joe Namath before the game looking for a pep talk and some pointers. What the NFL Hall of Famer told him had a very beneficial effect. Sanchez looked very decidedly not like a rookie as he threw for 272 yards and a touchdown against one interception. More importantly, the Jets easily beat the host Houston Texans 24-7.

NFL sports betting enthusiasts who took the Jets as +4 road underdogs cashed their tickets with the outright win. New York improved to 10-8 ATS as an underdog over the past three NFL seasons. The combined 31 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 44.

After the game, Sanchez recounted what Namath had told him in their pregame conversation:

“What a pep talk. That was Joe Namath, just taking all the credit from himself and throwing it back to me and just saying, ‘Good luck.’ To hear that from a legend like that, it just kind of gives you the chills. It was something special to be a part of, an emotional start, an emotional little pep talk.”

For his part, Namath said he wasnt surprised to see Sanchez have such a solid NFL debut:

“No, I was hopeful and I’m satisfied more than I thought I’d be. His offensive line did a hell of a job, but he did a great job of finding time with his feet, just to move subtly … I don’t doubt even a little bit that he doesn’t have poise at this stage.”

The Jets defense also had a great afternoon. New York outgained Houston 462-183, and the Texans made it past midfield only once in the first three quarters. The Jets run defense was particularly stifling, holding Steve Slaton to just 17 yards on the ground. Afterwards, Slaton was at a loss for an explanation:

“It’s just insane. You work for six months leading up to this first game. You have all offseason to prepare for this game and then to come out and play like that is upsetting.”

Texans coach Gary Kubiak took the blame for his teams awful showing:

“The offensive football team gave us no chance and that starts with me. There’s nobody that can feel anything good coming out of this football game.”

Houston will start from scratch on Sunday as they travel to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans. The Texans will return home for games the following two weeks against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Oakland Raiders. The Jets will play their next two games at home, beginning this weekend against the New England Patriots. Theyll welcome the Tennessee Titans to the Meadowlands the following week.

Bucs Hold On To Beat Jags In NFL Preseason Contest

Ross Everett — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:17:43 +0000

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers managed to escape with a win at Jacksonville on Saturday night, but by the narrowest of margins. The Jags gave up the opportunity to tie the game after a last minute touchdown, and decided to go for a 2 point conversion and the win. The attempt failed, and the Bucs survived to win by a 24-23 final score.

A quarterback battle may be brewing in Tampa, as starter Byron Leftwich was outplayed by backup Luke McCown. Leftwich moved the team into Jacksonville territory on three occasions, but came away with only a field goal. He gave his thoughts on his performance after the game:

“We did some good things. I didn’t play great, but I played OK. We wanted to look better. We wanted to understand situations better.”

Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris had little comment on his QBs play, but indicated that he’d look to name a starter later this week:

“Everything plays a big part of this decision — OTAs, mini-camp, the games. These games count for a little bit more. We’ll evaluate the leadership and everything about the QB play. I can’t ask for a better competition and can’t ask for a better group and can’t ask for better results. Got to make the decision now.”

A bright spot for the Jaguars was the play of wide receiver Troy Williamson. Williamson was a disappointment after he was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings out of the University of South Carolina, but has given the Jags a much needed deep threat. After the game, he said that hes just trying to work hard:

“I am just out there working I’m doing more and more stuff to get my confidence back up. I feel good and comfortable with the offense.”

The Jaguars will kick off the NFL regular season on Sunday, September 13th as they play the Colts in Indianapolis. The Bucs will start off their campaign hosting the Dallas Cowboys.
