MONTREAL - Le centenaire du Canadien aura permis de combler les férus dhistoire ces dernières années. Nick Folk Jersey . Dans la foulée de la deuxième édition de La glorieuse histoire des Canadiens, publiée lan dernier, les coauteurs Léandre Normand et Pierre Bruneau reviennent cette année avec un ouvrage portant sur Les Légendes des Canadiens. Cest la suite logique de La glorieuse histoire..., a affirmé M. Normand, mercredi, à loccasion du lancement du livre publié aux Editions de lHomme. Nous avons voulu dans les deux premiers livres raconter lhistoire du Canadien année après année, à laide danecdotes et de faits marquants. Nous jugions quil était important cette fois-ci de mettre laccent sur les joueurs eux-mêmes. Dresser la liste de 100 légendes du Tricolore nest pas une mince affaire. MM. Normand et Bruneau ont eu de nombreuses discussions animées. Au total, nous avons confectionné une vingtaine de listes, a confié M. Normand. Lunique condition était que le joueur soit retiré. Nous avons été contraints de faire des ajustements, dapporter des changements. Des médias ont publié leur liste, en marge du centenaire. Il na pas été facile de trouver un consensus. Dans le livre de 640 pages, abondamment illustré, les 100 joueurs sont présentés par ordre alphabétique. Les biographies regorgent danecdotes, de faits marquants et de statistiques qui ont nécessité des milliers dheures de recherche. On y a ajouté la première carte de hockey de chacune des légendes ainsi que des documents darchives. Nous avons voulu redonner vie aux légendes à laide de mises en scène et évoquer les moments forts des grandes époques, a-t-il expliqué. On y apprend, entre autres, quEdouard Lalonde a hérité du sobriquet de Newsy en raison de son travail comme linotypiste dans un journal hebdomadaire, avant dentreprendre sa carrière, que Frank Mahovlich aurait pu faire carrière au baseball puisquil a refusé une offre des Red Sox de Boston et quYvan Cournoyer, dit le Roadrunner, a déjà été surnommé le Chinois par Henri Richard parce quil résidait à Lachine! La glorieuse histoire des Canadiens sest écoulée à plus de 75 000 copies. Les Légendes des Canadiens, disponible au coût de 59,95 $ chez les libraires, devrait également être un incourtournable dans le genre à lapproche des Fêtes. Tim Tebow Womens Jersey . A person familiar with the deal says its worth $8.2 million, with a signing bonus of $4.47 million. Shonn Greene Jersey . How is this, Coach? Holliday returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown, a week after scoring on a 90-yard kickoff return, and Matt Schaub threw a touchdown pass to Lestar Jean in the Texans 20-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night. http://www.jetsprostore.com/dustin-keller-jersey . Unlike last season, the Jays are actually getting it done at the plate, which is good, because their pitching staff hasnt been as lights out as they were last season, and like the old commercial states, "chicks dig the longball". Antonio Cromartie Jersey . -- Lance Ten Broeck chooses to carry a bag rather than swing a club for a living to make more money. LaRon Landry Jersey .5-million, one-year contract on Tuesday. Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said that Pavano, who turns 33 on Thursday, is guaranteed a spot in Clevelands rotation as long as hes healthy following spring training.SAN FRANCISCO -- Warming up in the bullpen, Barry Zito could hardly see when triple amputee Marine Cpl. Nick Kimmel hopped out of his wheelchair on a new pair of prosthetic legs to throw out the ceremonial first pitch with his right arm and lone remaining good limb. Matt Cain provided the highlights of that emotional pregame Memorial Day moment for his fellow San Francisco starter, who has aided the young veteran with emotional and financial support through his Strikeouts for Troops foundation. Zito then took the mound himself and outpitched Trevor Cahill in a matchup of former Oakland Athletics All-Stars, and Brandon Belt helped back his day with an RBI triple in the Giants 4-2 win against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. "It was kind of unfortunate I couldnt be a part of it. I couldnt really look down there and see what was going on," Zito said of watching Kimmel, who came to spring training this year with other Marines. "I talked to Cainer and he said he got up on his legs. That was pretty awesome to hear because Ive been watching his progress and getting the videos on the cellphone." Gregor Blanco doubled twice and drove in a run for his second two-double game in four days and made a pretty game-ending catch on the warning track in right with two runners aboard. Blanco also scored on a double-steal to get things started in San Franciscos three-run first. Majors hits leader Melky Cabrera followed up his four-hit day in Sundays 3-2 win at Miami with a 1-for-3 outing to push his total to 74 hits -- on an afternoon when home run king Barry Bonds was among the sellout crowd of 42,295 and stopped by the clubhouse for a visit before the game. Cabrera singled in the sixth to give him 47 hits for May, tying him with Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda for third-most hits in a month in San Francisco history. If he gets to 49, he would match Hall of Famer Willie Mays for second most. Zito (4-2) allowed two runs on seven hits in seven innings to win for the third time in four starts, bouncing back from an 8-5 loss at Milwaukee in which he was tagged for eight runs and five hits in three innings. Cahill (2-5), traded to the defending division champion D-backs in December by the rebuilding As, extended his winless stretch to five starts -- and is 0-3 during that span since winning at Washington on May 1. The right-hander struck out five and walked two, while allowing four runs and eight hits in six innings. Clay Hensley struck out two in the eighth and Santiago Casilla finished for his 13th save in 14 chances after surrendering a pair of singgles. Joe Namath Jersey. . The Giants held on while starting a stretch with 13 of 16 games at home. Cahill singled in the third for his second career hit and first since 2009 in his rookie season in Oakland. He snapped an 0-for-26 stretch. Pinch-hitter John McDonald hit a solo home run in the eighth for Arizona as the last batter against Zito, who made his way from the mound to the dugout to a warm ovation for the second straight home start. It was McDonalds first career pinch-hit homer. Justin Upton hit an RBI double for the Diamondbacks, but they missed other key opportunities, including stranding runners on second and third in the third inning. Arizona was looking to build some momentum after it took two of three from Milwaukee at home to end a string of six straight series losses at Chase Field. "There were too many mistakes to make up today," manager Kirk Gibson said. "It was my fault for not having them ready. We had opportunities. We hit the ball on the button but right at people. If we play better that should not make a difference." Zito will continue to monitor the progress of Kimmel, who served in Afghanistan and was injured by a roadside bomb. "The fact that he came up and did this was huge," Zito said. "Im just so happy for him." Everybody considered it a fitting day for Zito to pitch considering all of his assistance to service members and their families and injured military members. "Barry played a major role in that," manager Bruce Bochy said of Kimmel. Also Monday, the USS Nimitz air craft carrier could be seen beyond the right-field facade. NOTES: Injured Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval, working back from a broken hamate bone in his left hand that required surgery, was examined by team orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki and all went well. He could be back playing for the Giants in a couple of weeks following a rehab assignment in the minors. ... Gibson celebrated his 55th birthday. ... The Diamondbacks made their first trip to AT&T Park of the year after the division rivals already played six games in Arizona. They wont meet again in San Franciscos waterfront ballpark until six games here in September. ... The Giants Emmanuel Burriss singled in the second for his first hit of the year vs. Arizona after beginning 0 for 11. ... A moment of silence was held before the national anthem on Memorial Day for all of the fallen U.S. troops. ... Upton, 0 for 4 Sunday vs. the Brewers, has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games. ... RHP Ryan Vogelsong (3-2) pitches Tuesday night against LHP Joe Saunders (3-3). ' ' '
