Guy-Lafleur highway: why it’s repugnant and impolite that his brothers-in-arms weren’t invited

It is quite possible that the government of François Legault did not invite the Montreal Canadiens as a company and institution to the inauguration of the Guy Lafleur freeway.

• Also read: The Canadian was not invited to the ceremony of his former glory

As a spokesman said, it was a civil marriage.

Although I would like to point out to François 1er that the same government was very happy to approach the Canadian for the organization of Lafleur’s national funeral. A religious and civil ceremony.

At the Canadian we are not offended. We are tormented. We deigned to warn them on the day of the ceremony, but without inviting them.

But what’s outrageous and rude is that Guy Lafleur’s brothers in arms, his brave warrior brothers who won Stanley Cups and faced enemies in Boston or New York, weren’t there.

Next to Lise and the two guys from Flower.

FOR LISE LAFLEUR

How do you think Lise Barré lived her 20’s and 30’s as the wife of the world’s biggest hockey star in the 70’s?

When she was alone, it was Micheline Houle who chatted with her. When Guy was hurt, it was Ginette Cournoyer who comforted her.

And Réjean Houle, Yvon Lambert, Serge Savard, Guy Lapointe, Yvan Cournoyer, Larry Robinson, Steve Shutt or Ken Dryden, who would have cycled from Toronto, have always been in Guy and Lise’s lives. Steve and Ninon Shutt vacationed in France with the Lafleurs.

Savard, Robinson and Pointu have always taken care of their flamboyant brother. And often they made Lise and the children smile and laugh.

They have always been with them for the past forty years.

And we dared to invite four good MPs from the CAQ and leave at home boys who spent decades forging Quebec pride?

An angry tongue told me yesterday that the last polls were disastrous for François Legault. And that with LCN, TVA and RDI he wanted to be sure that he had all the cameras on his face.

They were the methods of Maurice Duplessis, whose photograph hung on the living room wall of our house in Falardeau. I knew the style well, my father was an organizer for the National Union.

A REAL HIGHWAY

Guy Lafleur joins two other Quebec giants. The 20 is officially the Jean-Lesage highway. Mr. Lesage, for hugs, is the father of the silent revolution. The very revolution that ended Union Nationale rule and ushered Quebec into modernity.

The 40 on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River is the Félix-Leclerc motorway. If you read Leclerc’s poetry, you’ll find that he even wrote words that could be rapped. He and Maurice Richard were the awakeners of deep Quebec. Those who prepared the playground of the current generation.

50 is not perfect. It has only three lanes, sometimes two, but it traverses awe-inspiring scenery and connects two beautiful regions of Quebec.

And besides, Guy Lafleur never claimed he was perfect.

To tell you what an important honor it is for a Quebecer, know that even René Lévesque only has a small piece of the 20 named after him.

Ditto for Joseph-Armand Bombardier, who has part of the 55 in his name.

And the Beauce honored Judge Robert Cliche with her Highway 73.

CLAUDE BÉCHARD, REALLY?

In Montreal you have the Décarie highway, undoubtedly in honor of Samuel and Antonin (!) Décarie, the 440, the Jean-Noël-Lavoie highway, former deputy of Laval and man of letters. But they are “autoroulettes” like the three-digit highways.

At some point I had doubts. With the Guy Lafleur highway, Flower is the first ice hockey player to be honored in this way. Unless a corner of Alma has been renamed the Mario-Tremblay Highway, Lafleur is on its own.

But the 85, the Claude-Béchard motorway, what is it? In honor of former National League linesman Claude Béchard? A whistle veteran who has shared more fights than Muhammad Ali has delivered?

I checked. The 47 kilometers of the 85 were named in honor of Claude Béchard, former MP and Liberal minister in the Charest government. A man of honour.

Jean-Charles Lajoie added his grain of salt yesterday morning. In honor of Flower, the famous number 10, couldn’t we modernize it a bit?

And set the speed limit to… 110!

FLORIDA IS PANTHERS!

Oh! There it is! Florida is panthers.

On Thursday night I walked back from dinner on 2nd Street towards Atlantic, Del Ray’s new trendy street.

It was hot, the terraces were crowded and the windows of the restaurants were all open. Apparently, four out of five TVs in every restaurant or bar were showing the Panthers game against the Maple Leafs in Toronto.

I saw a few rare screens showing basketball and a TV that let three or four fans watch a baseball game. The rest, on the 2nd, on the 3rd, on Stanton, on Atlantic, it was Panther, Panther and Panther.

It will not last. The Quebec Snowbirds can still buy $35 tickets to a Panthers game next January. And applaud their glorious darlings who will still miss the series.

But in the meantime, the Panthers are having a hell of a ride. And ticket prices are getting serious.

That’s in the waters of $325 for a good seat.

As long as they beat the Choqueux Bleus…

LeBron Lakers prepare for next challenge after winning Game 3

LeBron, Lakers prepare for ‘next challenge’ after winning Game 3 – ESPN – ESPN

Dave McMenaminESPN Staff Writer May 7, 2023 2:29 am ET4 Minute Read

LOS ANGELES — The Lakers’ 127-97 win in Game 3 over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday meant Los Angeles began their second straight series with a win, followed by a loss and then responded with another win to complete 2- to ascend. 1.

With Los Angeles seemingly on a seesaw — losing by 27 on Thursday only to win by 30 two days later — LeBron James is telling his teammates to ignore the outside noise that occurs after every game result.

“For the young guys who haven’t competed in the postseason or haven’t gotten a lot of postseason experience, just stay off the TV and social media,” advised James after amassing 21 points, eight rebounds and eight helps. “You win a game, everyone is the best player in the world; you lose a game, they throw dirt on you. It’s literally that simple. It’s all about training your mind for the next challenge. And what comes next? Challenge? This game is over, we played well. okay cool But we have another one on Monday.'”

Anthony Davis has become the face of the Lakers’ postseason ups and downs, with some fans suggesting his AD nickname stands for “alternate days” as his play differs night to night.

While it’s only been nine games so far — a small sample size compared to the consistency he’s displayed averaging 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 56 regular-season games — the game went hot and cold for Davis on Saturday.

Notably, he opened the streak with 30 points and 23 rebounds in a Game 1 win. He followed that up with 11 and 7 in a Game 2 loss. And then it was 25 points and 13 rebounds in Game 3.

Davis, after the Lakers improved to 6-3 in the playoffs – 10 wins away from the title – said he hadn’t heard any criticism of his performances and didn’t think his approach varied from game to game, even if his numbers have.

“I’m not on social media,” Davis said. “My teammates don’t talk about it, my circle, my inner circle doesn’t talk about it, so I haven’t talked about it [heard about it]. It’s crazy.”

Davis was 7-on-10 from the field in Game 3 and 11-on-12 from the foul line. He was 5-on-11 from the field (1-on-1 on free throws) in Game 2 and 11-on-19 (8-on-8 on free throws) in Game 1.

“The same shots I had in Game 1, I had in Game 2. I made Game 1, I missed Game 2,” he said. “The same shots that I had in Game 2, I had in Game 3. And I missed in Game 2 and made in Game 3. So I look at it like I just missed shots. I didn’t do anything differently.

“I know, especially this time of year, I put everything on the ground and that’s all I can do.”

The biggest change in the Lakers’ approach in Game 3 was that coach Darvin Ham let Lonnie Walker IV skip over Troy Brown Jr. and Malik Beasley in his rotation. Walker, who had played 27 total minutes in Saturday’s playoffs, had 12 points on 4-for-6 shooting in 25 minutes and added four rebounds and two steals.

The biggest difference in the Lakers’ effectiveness was in their defensive backs. After the Warriors hit 42 3s in their first two games — a record for most 3s in two games to open a streak — Golden State shot 13 to 44 (29.5%) in Game 3.

“We’re one of the best defensive teams in the league, if not the best,” James said, echoing the same phrase he said after the Game 2 loss. “And in order for us to reach our potential, we have to defend at a high level. And there’s no team in this league that tests you more on this side than Golden State.”

The Lakers know that nothing that happened in Game 3 — including D’Angelo Russell’s 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting starting with the first 11 points in the first quarter — is a guaranteed precursor to what’s going to happen in the game at Monday will be 4 of these Western Conference Semifinals in Los Angeles or Wednesday’s Game 5 in San Francisco or beyond.

Just as Ham preaches, ever since the Lakers struggled to level their 2-10 start to the season by qualifying for the play-in tournament, they can control the game with energy, effort and urgency.

Shots will be fired. Shots will miss. Players’ legs will feel fresh in one game and tired the next.

As James and Davis said Saturday, however, the Lakers’ mindset can remain stable as long as they are disciplined.

“Make no mistake, the deficit, we win by whatever, 30 doesn’t represent who this team really is. Just like losing Game 2 doesn’t represent who we are,” Ham said. “It’s going to be a fight to the end.”

Dustin May strong Chris Taylor homer as Dodgers hit Padres

Dustin May strong, Chris Taylor homer as Dodgers hit Padres – MLB.com

SAN DIEGO — One area where the Dodgers admittedly struggled last October was a lack of energy compared to what the Padres brought to the table in the National League Division Series.

It’s something the Dodgers had to sit and think about all winter while also watching the Padres make some splashy moves. Though the Dodgers were the league of the NL West for over a decade, it felt like the Dodgers came into this season as a forgotten team in the division.

When the two NL West rivals met for the first time, it was the Padres who struck the first blow in front of a raucous home crowd. But on Saturday, the Dodgers showed more urgency and hit back, beating the Padres 2-1 at Petco Park.

“I think one of our strengths is that we’re going to be able to persevere this season and not go too high, not go too low, but have high expectations of ourselves,” said Dodgers coach Danny Lehmann, who served as assistant manager while Dave Roberts his son attended college.

The day began with Clayton Kershaw having to answer questions about a meme that appeared on the Petco Park scoreboard after Friday’s game. It was a picture of Kershaw sitting in the dugout with fake tears streaming down his face.

“If you don’t like it,” Kershaw said, “you better play.”

The Dodgers actually played better on Saturday.

After two erratic games, Dustin May was looking for a strong start and the right-hander delivered arguably his best performance of the season, showing much better control across all his pitches against an aggressive Padres line-up.

“This guy was tough on the mound today,” said Fernando Tatis Jr., the Padres right fielder. There’s not much you can do. If he misses something, you take advantage of it. But he made good pitches from the start.”

May set the tone early as he jumped off the mound after hitting Juan Soto right in the knees with a sinker. The right-hander is usually animated, but there was a bit more gear up the hill on Saturday. May ended his night with six strikeouts, allowing just three hits over six scoreless innings.

“It was great going out and putting up zeros for the guys and being able to come out with the lead and let the bullpen take over,” May said. “Played really good defense. Hit the ball when needed and it was a really good game.”

With May and the bullpen keeping the Padres at bay, the Dodgers were able to get just enough offense against Blake Snell, who was solid again against Los Angeles. Snell only allowed one hit over six innings, but it was a big one when Chris Taylor hit a hanging left-handed change for a two-run homer in the fourth inning.

Taylor, who got off to a slow start at the plate again, has been a lot more productive lately. In his last five games, Taylor is 7-for-16 with one homer and five RBIs.

“I feel more comfortable in the penalty area, more relaxed and have a better view of the ball,” said Taylor. “Just being comfortable with everything and not trying to feel something and then get results also helps.”

Whether each team wants to admit it or not, there was a different intensity on the field at a regular-season game on May 6th. That’s what everyone should expect from the next 11 duels between two teams with talented rosters. This time it was the Dodgers turn to edge out a tight one.

“The mood here is really good,” said Lehmann. “It’s fun to play in. The players love it. … Today was a good day.”

A measurement of the panthers, which begins to play tricks on them

The Florida Panthers have been trying to keep Toronto Maple Leafs fans away from FLA Live Arena, but now they desperately need Ontario fans as tickets for Games 3 and 4 aren’t selling out anytime soon.

The organization quickly reversed its decision as it allowed everyone to buy tickets on Tuesday, the day after it was first announced. Except that there were still several hundred good seats left on the Ticketmaster site for Sunday and Wednesday.

Also read: Paul Maurice had not expected such a performance

For a Toronto fan, a trip to Florida might not be bad considering the cheapest tickets sell for around $200 CAD. In the Scotiabank Arena, where a full house is announced for the fifth confrontation, it was more necessary to pay $500.

During the regular season, the Panthers had the fourth-worst fill rate in their amphitheater, averaging 86.7% of the 19,250 seats filled. In the playoffs, maximum capacity was exceeded for Games 3 and 4 against the Boston Bruins, but not for Game 6.

After two 2-0 wins in Toronto in the series, do the Panthers really need a supportive crowd?
