With time ticking down to the start of the regular season, Marc Bergevin needed
to finally make those tough roster moves that he has been talking about since
the start of camp.

of business for the Canadiens general manager was to pick a back-up goaltender.
Bergevin decided to trade away his veteran backup Peter Budaj along with
prospect Patrick Holland to the Winnipeg Jets. In return the Canadiens received
forward Eric Tangradi who was assigned to the Hamilton Bulldogs, giving
25-year-old Dustin Tokarski the backup job. Tokarski had an impressive
performance last spring when he replaced the injured Carey Price in the Eastern
Conference Final against the New York Rangers. Bergevin called Price to let him
know Budaj was no longer with the team. He was one of my best friends, it sucks
but at the same time we have another guy who I am pretty good buddies with so it
was going to be a lose-lose situation no matter what, Price said when asked
about the trade. It was even harder to hear that his teammate from the past
three seasons had been placed on waivers shortly after being acquired by the
Jets. Price has faith that Budaj will eventually make it back to the NHL. Not
long afterwards Bergevin announced that Francis Bouillon will not be offered a
contract by the Canadiens. The veteran defenceman was invited to camp on a
Professional Tryout basis, instead the team is giving their young defencemen
like Jarred Tinordi and Nathan Beaulieu the opportunity to prove what they can
do at the NHL level. I met with Tinordi and Beaulieu today and told them its
really hard to make the NHL and its even harder to stay. They need to keep
getting better, Bergevin told the media. The Canadiens still have to trim one
more man from their roster and it will most likely be a forward as Bergevin is
not a fan of going with six defencemen. The final decision needs to be made
before Tuesday at 5pm et.

China Jerseys . Shaun Miller headed a
dramatic winner for the third-tier club just a minute before the end of extra
time of a particularly dour contest in the rain at Craven Cottage. United, which
claimed its second Premier League scalp of the campaign after knocking out Aston
Villa in the third round, is second from bottom in League One. NEW ORLEANS --
Drew Brees pulled himself up in the end zone after his diving touchdown scramble
and held both arms high, basking in the cheers pouring forth from the rollicking
Superdome crowd. It has only been a year since the Saints were 0-3, shrouded in
scandal and going nowhere. It might as well have been a lifetime ago. Brees
passed for three touchdowns to go with his scoring run and the Saints beat the
Arizona Cardinals 31-7 on Sunday to improve to 3-0 for the first time since
2009, when they won the Super Bowl. "Hopefully we can just continue to get a
little bit better, and gain confidence and momentum and keep the train rolling,"
said Brees, who connected twice with tight end Jimmy Graham for scores and once
with Robert Meachem. "Im very happy to be 3-0, 2-0 in the (NFC South) division,
3-0 in the NFC. All those things are significant." Defensively, New Orleans
couldnt ask for much more. The Saints allowed a single-season record 7,042 yards
a year ago. This season under new co-ordinator Rob Ryan, New Orleans has allowed
four TDs in the first three games. The unit produced four sacks and two
interceptions of Arizonas Carson Palmer. Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan
sacked Palmer twice. Outside linebacker Junior Galette added another, as did
rookie defensive end Glenn Foster. "It was all just pressure everywhere," said
Jordan, who exchanged high-fives with fellow defensive lineman Akiem Hicks in
the locker room afterward. "When youre part of a D-line like that, I mean, its a
party." First-round draft choice safety Kenny Vaccaro made his first career
interception, and Keenan Lewis, acquired in free agency last off-season, had his
first interception with the Saints. Coach Sean Payton, who looks to be building
another contender after returning from last seasons bounty ban, summed it up as
a "really good afternoon." "We finished this game the way we like to," Payton
said. "Im proud of our guys." Arizona (1-2) had a 7-0 lead after driving 80
yards on the games opening possession, with Alfonso Smith scoring on a 3-yard
run. After that, the Cardinals didnt score. "They can rush the passer. Theres
two really good pass rushers that people dont know a lot about,&qquot; said
Palmer, who was 18 of 35 for 187 yards.

China. "Cameron Jordan is really good. He showed that today. Junior
Galette is really good. They are physical guys. They stop the run. They rush the
passer and are a really good combination." Brees was 29 of 46 for 342 yards. He
was intercepted once by New Orleans native and former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu.
That ended a scoring threat, but only delayed the inevitable on a day when
Arizonas short-handed defence was little match for the prolific Saints passing
attack. Arizona, whose defence was missing four starters by early in the second
half, had no answer for the 6-foot-7 Graham, who caught nine passes for 134
yards, one week after catching 10 passes for 179 yards in Tampa Bay. "We had
critical injuries, and some young guys had to chip in and play," Cardinals coach
Bruce Arians said. "They didnt handle it as well as I hoped." The Saints
responded quickly to the Cardinals opening score with Brees pinpoint 27-yard
pass to Meachem. New Orleans took the lead in the second quarter on Brees
16-yard, back-shoulder throw to Graham, who went up high and twisted to make a
grab that safety Yeremiah Bell was powerless to stop. "Its just run, jump and
get it," said Graham, a former college basketball power forward. "Thats just
what we do." Brees TD scramble made it a three-score game early in the fourth.
Vaccaros interception thwarted the next drive and started the series that
culminated with Grahams second TD on a quick 7-yard pass over the middle. "Today
was a huge step for us," said Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton, who joined
New Orleans as a free agent in 2012, only to be part of the first Saints team to
miss the playoffs in three seasons. "Last year, I dont know what that was, but
this year is what I definitely expected. I love being here." NOTES: Cardinals
starting NT Dan Williams was excused for the death of his father in a car
accident. OLB Lorenzo Alexander (right foot) and S Rashad Johnson went out in
the first half, and OLB Sam Acho (left ankle) went down in the third quarter.
... Saints WR Lance Moore left the game in the second half and the Saints did
not provide an update on his condition.
