MONTREAL -- Danny Briere is not likely to hear many more boos at the Bell Centre. The free agent from Gatineau, Que., has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. The Philadelphia Flyers used a compliance buy-out last week on the final two years of an eight-year, US$52 million deal Briere signed in 2007. Because he turned down an offer from the Canadiens to sign with the Flyers that year, Briere was booed whenever Philadelphia visited Montreal. Now, hes a Canadien, returning to his native Quebec on a deal reportedly worth $4 million per season. "For me, the Montreal Canadiens fans are probably the most passionate fans in the NHL," Briere said on a conference call Thursday night. "Its an honour to be playing for them, in front of them, and all Im hoping is that we will all be cheering in the same direction when the seasons starts." The 35-year-old Briere had reportedly narrowed his list of potential destinations to the Canadiens, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators. "Daniel Briere brings a great deal of skills, experience and leadership to our team and he is a significant addition to our group of forwards," Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said in a statement. "Daniel showed a great desire to pursue his career in Montreal and we are very happy that he committed to playing in Montreal for the next two seasons." Initial reaction to the deal was mixed among Canadiens fans, with some welcoming his skill and experience and others concerned that the five-foot-10, 181-pound Briere adds another small body to an already smaller than average team. Others worry about his declining offensive production. Briere had only six goals and 10 assists in the lockout shortened 2013 season and has had concussion issues in recent years. "Last season with the short season, starting behind everybody because of injuries, I am definitely looking forward to bouncing back. Ive done that my whole life, my whole career," Briere said. "Its always been about finding the motivation to bounce back. Coming to Montreal makes it really easy, first of all. Having the chance to play for the Canadiens, I think theres no better motivation than that. "(2013) definitely was a season where I wasnt happy the way things went and Im going to do everything in my power to turn that around." Briere has 282 goals and 373 assists in 847 career NHL games, but was mostly coveted for his post-season play. In the Flyers run to the Stanley Cup final in 2010, Briere had 12 goals and 18 assists in 23 games. In 108 career post-season games, he has 50 goals and 59 assists. Gazelle Rouge Homme . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. NMD XR1 Pas Cher .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. http://www.gazellesoldes.fr/adidas-gazelle-orange.html .

Yeezy Powerphase Calabasas . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Ultra Boost 3.0 Triple Black . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has said that the one-day specialists and seamers in the side countered Sri Lankas spinners by adapting really well on some of the toughest ODI pitches, helping the visitors seal the ODI series after a 3-0 whitewash in the Tests.We have had the advantage, the one-day players getting the advantage to see what the Test pitches have played like and coming here with a clear gameplan, Wade said. Myself and George Bailey and a few others have just come over for the one-dayers, we have had a clear plan and it has worked so far.The wickets have been some of the toughest youll get in one-day international cricket, weve come from the West Indies, which took spin. You dont usually play on used wickets back to back in one-day internationals. It hasnt been suited to the way we play but weve adapted really well. We are playing a few more quicks than what they (Sri Lanka) are, but with variable bounce and reverse swing, weve countered their spinners.Despite not being picked as Australias designated wicketkeeper for the following T20 series against Sri Lanka, Wade acknowledged he is contributing more to Australia now compared to a few years ago.Every time you dont get picked for Australia is disappointing, but thats the way it goes, he said. Im not a 100 % sure of the reason. (Peter) Nevill played the T20 World Cup and I was told he was going to bat lower, so they wantted to go with his keeping.dddddddddddd Ill just keep playing the way I play in ODIs.I feel my game is at a level now where I can contribute in ODIs. There was a period of time where my game wasnt in order three or four years ago, where I felt I wasnt contributing enough. At the moment, I feel my game is in good order. I want to get picked for every tour, every match because I feel I can do the job.After Australias tri-series win in the Caribbean, stand-in coach Justin Langer challenged Wade to become the best wicketkeeper in the country by following a diligent work ethic. More than two months later, Wade said his keeping is as good as it has ever been.It came as a bit of shock to me that it came out in the press like that. I spoke to JL (Langer) after and understood what he was trying to say, Wade said. Im under no illusions that I need to work harder and get better at my game. If I want to play Test cricket again, I have to work harder.Ive improved with my glovework over the past 3-4 weeks in the subcontinent. I went to England and kept playing, that makes a huge difference in the off-season: going home or just training indoors or going to Brisbane to get work done. This time I went to England. I feel like Im keeping as well as Ive done for a very long time.
