g emotional attachments aside and decided to retire

NEW YORK -- Carey Price is a former Hart Memorial Trophy winner as the National Hockey Leagues most valuable player.As a veteran of five different teams dating back to the 2008-09 season, Al Montoya is the textbook definition of a journeyman backup.Price and Montoya have plenty in common this season, though: The Montreal Canadiens simply dont lose in regulation with either one of them in net.The Canadiens (5-0-1)will look to remain perfect in regulation Wednesday night, when they visit the New York Islanders at Barclays Center. Montreal, the lone NHL team still unbeaten in regulation, is coming off a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.New York (3-3-0) last played Sunday, when it beat the Minnesota Wild 6-3.Montoya will draw the start Wednesday in place of Price, who started and won each of the Canadiens past three games. Montoya opened the season by going 2-0-1 as Price recovered from a lengthy bout with the flu.The game will be a reunion of sorts for Montoya, who played 51 games for the Islanders -- the most he has played for any NHL team -- while the team was still housed at Nassau Coliseum during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons.Itll be a special game, Montoya said Tuesday. I spent the start of my career in Long Island. Its a fantastic organization, team and staff. Its a special place for me, but now that theyre in Brooklyn, I look forward to going there and getting a win.Montoya is 3-0-0 in three career appearances against the Islanders. He last opposed New York on Feb. 3, 2015, when he stopped 32 of the 34 shots he faced in the Florida Panthers 4-2 win at Nassau Coliseum.Perhaps the presence of Montoya will help the Canadiens remain among the NHLs elite all season. Montreal opened last year 9-0-0 but fell apart after Price sustained a season-ending knee injury Nov. 25. The Canadiens ended up missing the playoffs entirely with a 38-38-6 record.Nobody has to remind Montreal coach Michel Therrien how early it is in the season, but he said Tuesday he likes what he is seeing of the Canadiens on and off the ice.We got off to a good start last year, Therrien said. Guys buy into the team concept. Its important. The atmosphere of this hockey team has been solid since training camp.The Islanders will look to maintain the offensive flow they finally found Sunday, when defensemen Johnny Boychuk, Calvin de Haan and Thomas Hickey and centers John Tavares (two goals) and Alan Quine all scored goals in the rout of the Wild.New York scored three goals or fewer in each of its first five games, the franchises longest such streak at the start of a season since 2009-10.We got some big goals from all parts of the lineup, Tavares told Newsday. It takes a little time to find your game and find that rhythm, and I thought we did some good things tonight.The Islanders ranked 10th in the NHL in goals scored last season.Hopefully thatll give them a boost to get going, to get on the board like that, Islanders coach Jack Capuano said.No. 1 goalie Jaroslav Halak is likely to start for the Islanders after sitting out Sundays game in favor of Thomas Greiss. Halak, who is 2-2-0 this season, will also be facing a former team. He played 101 games with the Canadiens during his first four NHL seasons.The last time Halak faced the Canadiens on Nov. 20, 2015, he was pulled after allowing three goals in the first period of a 5-3 loss. Greiss ended up absorbing the loss in that game after allowing the decisive goal in the second period.

Runhappy, the champion sprinter of 2015, has been retired from racing and will debut at stud in 2017 at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky., for an advertised fee of $25,000.A 4-year-old son of Super Saver, Runhappy finished his career with 7 wins in 10 starts for earnings of $1,496,250 racing for owner Jim McIngvale.Runhappys 2015 campaign was highlighted by a win in the Breeders Cup Sprint at Keeneland, in which he lowered the track record at six furlongs to 1:08.58. That season also included wins in the Grade 1 Kings Bishop Stakes and Malibu Stakes, as well as the Grade 3 Phoenix Stakes. In addition to being named champion sprinter, he was also an Eclipse Award finalist for champion 3-year-old male and Horse of the Year.Runhappy was under consideration for the 2017 Pegasus World Cup after McIngvale purchased a slot in the $12 million race, but his final start came in the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita, where he finished out of the money.The decision to retire Runhappy was both difficult and easy, McIngvale said. On one hand, we wish he could run forever. This is by far the most incredible horse weve ever owned and hes brought so much joy to our family and his fans. But on the other hand, weve always pledged to do whats bestt for the health and happiness of Runhappy.dddddddddddd For that reason, we put our strong emotional attachments aside and decided to retire him from racing.Now were filled with gratitude and enthusiasm watching Runhappy move into the same stall occupied by Secretariat, Unbridled, Easy Goer, and Bold Ruler to begin his stud career at the world-renowned Claiborne Farm.Bred in Kentucky by Wayne, Gray, and Bryan Lyster, Runhappy is the first foal out of the winning Broken Vow mare Bella Jolie, who is the dam of two winners from three runners.Runhappys extended family includes Mexican Group 1 winner Antares, Grade 2 winner Mindy Gayle, and Grade 3 winner Puntrooskie.We are thrilled and honored to welcome Runhappy to Claiborne, said Claiborne Farm representative Bernie Sams. He came out of his last race healthy and sound, but everyone felt the timing was right. He is one of the most impressive racehorses I have ever seen and when you start to dig into his pedigree, its no surprise why he was so successful. We obviously have a great deal of confidence that hell pass his tremendous speed onto his progeny. ' ' '
