Why are they explaining this tragedy with science when all the religious people say it was god and his will?
SAINT-JUDE, – It took only an instant for an idyllic country scene to collapse in an apocalyptic heap — the earth opened, gobbled up part of a village and left rescue crews combing through a crater for a family of four.
Authorities believe the hockey-mad Prefontaines were in the basement of their elegant country home cheering on the Montreal Canadiens when the landslide struck.
That was Monday night. Late Tuesday, authorities hinted that news about the Prefontaines would likely be grim as they searched through a home that had been sucked into a muddy pit.
When natural catastrophes happen, it is not necessarily God’s Will ; it can result from the sins of others, from our own and from this tragic tendency we have lately to push God away (together with His Protection).

He is also a former professional ice hockey player who played for the Canadiens from 1973 until 1989. After retiring from active play, he became a hockey coach and later an executive with the NHL Minnesota North Stars/Dallas Stars organization before returning to Montreal as general manager from 2003 to 2010. From 1970 to 1973, Gainey had his junior start with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League. A defensive specialist, Gainey played with the Montreal Canadiens from 197374 to 198889, winning four consecutive Frank J. Selke Trophies, awarded to the league’s best defensive forward and five Stanley Cups (1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1986). In 1973, Gainey was drafted into both the WHA and the NHL. The Montreal Canadiens had selected him in the first round, 8th overall in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft and the Minnesota Fighting Saints had also drafted him in the first round, 7th overall in the 1973 WHA Amateur Draft. Gainey never played in the WHA as he spent his entire career playing for the Canadiens in the NHL. He was team captain of the Canadiens from 1981 until his retirement in 1989. In total, he played in 1160 regular season games, scored 239 goals, and registered 263 assists. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992.

The Montreal Canadiens: 100 Years of Glory $18 National BestsellerThe definitive history of the Montreal Canadiens – now updated with the inside story of the tumultuous 2009 season. Before there were slapshots, Foster Hewitt, or even an NHL, there were the Canadiens. Founded on December 4, 1909, the team won its first Stanley Cup in 1916. Since then, the Canadiens have won 23 more championships, making them the most successful hockey team in the world. The team has survived two wars, the Great Depression, NHL expansion, and countless other upheavals, thanks largely to the loyalty of fans and an extraordinary cast of players, coaches, owners, and managers. The Montreal Canadiens captures the full glory of this saga. It weaves the personalities, triumphs, heartaches, and hysteria into a compelling narrative with a surprise on every page. It sheds new light on old questions – how the team colours were chosen, how the Canadiens came to be known as the Habitants – and goes behind the scenes of tumultuous recent events still awaiting thorough examination: why Scotty Bowman was passed over as general manager after Sam Pollock resigned; why Pollock’s successor, Irving Grunman, failed; why Serge Savard was dumped as GM so hastily despite his record.Colourful and controversial, The Montreal Canadiens is the history of a team that has been making news for 100 years – and continues to do so with the return of legendary player Bob Gainey as general manager, determined to bring the Stanley Cup back to Montreal. |
