Bruins beat Sabres 4-1

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Charlie Coyle scored twice and Brad Marchand had two assists to lead the Boston Bruins to a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night.

Mason Lohrei and Morgan Geekie also scored for the Bruins, who ended a four-game losing streak. Jeremy Swayman made 25 saves.

“As a group, obviously, we didn’t like how we ended the break,” forward Jake DeBrusk said. “Had a couple days to reset and came out with a good effort tonight, had some good goaltending and just rolled with it.”

Erik Johnson scored for the Sabres. Devon Levi made 21 saves.

Special teams played a big role in the outcome as the Bruins scored on their first three power-play chances. Meanwhile, the Sabres went 0 for 6 with the man advantage.

“Bottom line is special teams, no doubt,” Johnson said. “They scored when they needed to and they capitalized on their chances, especially on the power play. That was the difference.”

Lohrei opened the scoring 4:19 in, sending the rebound of a shot past Levi.

Coyle stretched the lead to two goals, scoring on a power play with 6:18 left in the first period. Jake DeBrusk got the puck behind the Buffalo net and spotted a wide-open Coyle in front of the Buffalo crease. Coyle then buried a one-timer.

Coyle scored his second power-play goal of the game 4:18 into the second, when his shot deflected off Johnson’s skate into the net.

“We always want to get out to a lead if you can, and then it’s up to us to push that lead, build in our game, play the right way,” Coyle said. “We’ve just got to keep building on our game.”

Geekie made it 4-0 with 6:16 left in the second on another power-play goal for the Bruins. After Charlie McAvoy’s shot bounced off the end boards, Geekie fired the puck toward the net and a sprawling Levi was unable to make the save. It was Geekie’s fourth goal in seven games.

Johnson got the Sabres on the board 5:11 into the third, scoring on a slap shot from the right circle.

Tage Thompson, Buffalo’s No. 1 center, missed the game due to personal reasons.

SÄNGER GUNTHER EMMERLICH GESTORBEN

Singen, Inszenieren, Moderieren, ein Ausflug in die Schauspielerei und zuletzt auch Hörbücher – sein Trumpf war die Vielfalt. Drei Bücher hat er über sein Leben geschrieben. Der 1944 in Thüringen geborene Bass wollte als Junge Pilot werden oder zur See fahren, studierte dann aber nach einer Ausbildung als Bauingenieur Operngesang an der Musikhochschule Franz Liszt Weimar.

Full History.......

1972 engagierte ihn das Nachwuchsstudio der Dresdner Oper – kurz darauf wurde er ins Ensemble übernommen. 20 Jahre lang war er als Bass festes Ensemblemitglied. Daneben gründete der Banjo-Spieler und Jazzsänger 1985 mit gleichgesinnten Musikern der Staatskapelle die Semper-House-Band. Ab 1987 eroberte Emmerlich dann den TV-Bildschirm in der DDR und bot mit "Showkolade" einen Mix aus Glitzer, Zeitkritik und Kabarett. Doch nicht nur Unterhaltung hatte er im Sinn: Seine Neigung zu aufmüpfigen politischen Randbemerkungen brachte ihn mitunter ins Fadenkreuz der DDR-Kulturbehörden, die ihn zeitweise wegen "staatsfeindlicher Betrachtungen" mit einem regional begrenzten Auftrittsverbot belegten.

Les 40 ans de piquante nostalgie de «A Christmas Story»

La série A posteriori le cinéma se veut une occasion de célébrer le 7e art en revisitant des titres phares qui fêtent d’importants anniversaires.

Les 40 ans de piquante nostalgie de «A Christmas Story»

En matière de films de Noël, tout est souvent affaire de générations et de dispositions cinéphiles. Qu’il s’agisse du doux-amer It’s a Wonderful Life (La vie est belle), du trépidant Die Hard (Piège de cristal), de l’irrévérencieux Scrooged (Fantômes en fête), du comique Home Alone (Maman, j’ai raté l’avion), ou du fantaisiste Elf (Le lutin), chacune et chacun a son favori. Or, dans ce registre, il est un film qui suscite une affection et un engouement particuliers

Full History......

Dans un second article publié la même année, celui-là par Vanity Fair, on peut lire sous la plume de Sam Kashner : « A Christmas Story a changé à jamais, en tant que genre, le cinéma des Fêtes jusque-là chaleureux et sentimental […] C’était un nouveau type de film des Fêtes. Un film qui reconnaissait — et même savourait — l’avarice débridée, le consumérisme, les déceptions, les sentiments froissés, et la malchance générale, qui, en réalité, définissent souvent la période des Fêtes.
