Max Pacioretty also scored for Montreal, 2-0-1.When you see Monty make some of those saves, it gives us an opportunity to try to get him the shutout and try to get some goals for him, Pacioretty said. You have to credit most of that game to him because he was incredible.He played great all three games, but tonight, he gave us a chance. After our goal they had a flurry of chances. There were a couple of times in the first period when he had to come up big. The timeliness of those saves allowed us to get some momentum.Price fell ill just before the start of the regular season.

We had lots of power plays t (0 for , but made lots of mistakes.There were 30 shots taken in the first -- 17-13 for Pittsburgh -- but it was on only the second of the period that Pacioretty opened the scoring at 23 seconds as he tk a feed in the slot from Jeff Petry and beat Marc-Andre Fleury with a wrist shot.Desharnais was parked alone in front of Fleury when he slammed in Paciorettys blind, backhand pass from the corner 12:07 into the second.Radulov scored 41 into the third as he burst down the right wing and cut in front.

As thrilling as it is, as much as its obsessed over, basketball just might be a means to an end that covers your toes.In a given year, Michael Jordan makes more in sneaker sales than what he garnered in NBA checks over the totality of his career. His is a unique case, as MJ is the pinnacle, but hes also the model, the industry prototype. To be a signature guy is to walk in Jordans shoes, to play at selling your fashion to the masses at a level that makes your celebrity endure.Jordans greatest moments might be indelible to those who lived through the 1980s and 90s, but its his shoes that walk a legacy beyond the normal bounds of time. Kids who never saw him play -- or even watched a YouTube highlight -- will wear Jordan 1s, a sneaker that came out in 1985. The staying power of the original Jordan 1 is especially impressive considering how the 1980s were considered something of an aesthetic wasteland. Todays NBA stars are shting for that future. They wont get there, as there was a certain serendipity to Jordans invention of signature sports branding, but theyll try. The biggest sports stars are competitive enough to sht for a legacy thats bigger than sports.LeBron James agreed to a lifetime contract with Nike, while his Cleveland Cavaliers had to hope he would continue to re-up on single-year deals. Stephen Currys Under Armour contract runs through 2024; the Golden State Warriors hope he takes the path of least resistance and re-signs with them in July. Curry is the face of UA, regardless of whether he maintains that status on the star-studded Warriors. James Hardens Adidas contract reporteddly totals $200 million over 13 years.dddddddddddd These commitments comprise basketball playing careers. These bonds are stronger than basketball team loyalties. The primary employer might be the symbol on the sneaker, not the name across the front of the jersey.Some people dont get it. Shoes are silly, trivial. Fashion might be something athletes do in their spare time to impress each other, but why should a fan care what his favorite player wears?The simplest answer might be that sneakers are cl, and theyre all the cler for being inanimate Zeligs to the biggest basketball moments. Its fashion with a cameo in scenes like MJs Game 6 shot in Utah, LeBrons Game 7 block on Andre Iguodala, Stephon Marbury in Chinas -- OK, that one is a stretch. Eventually, these shoes become little time machines, nostalgia you can sink your feet into. If youre familiar with the Jordan XIIs, its hard not to lk at them and think of anything other than Flu Game.Moreover, some of these sneakers are as close as you can get to objectively great style. Sure, theres a brainwashing aspect, the crazy lie that a super athletes imprimatur actually makes a shoe better. Sure, theres something arbitrary about how many people would yearn after a shoe with a swsh symbol and scoff at that same exact model were it burnished with a dot, squiggle or myriad of other shapes. But its not all bull. Some of these sneakers are beautiful, and even if well never get everyone to agree on which ones are, everyone can find their own version of greatness. ' ' '
