Rene Rancourt... Worst Pro Anthem Singer Ever!

It seems the Boston Bruins have a long time classic anthem singer. His name is Rene Rancourt. Needless to say, he's the worst "Professional Anthem Singer" I've ever seen and heard. I'm watching Game 5 of the Boston Montreal series and I'll now never have those beginning 5 minutes of my life back. 

I couldn't find a good Youtube video as evidence, but think really bad elongated Opera singing anthem accompanied by an organ. Usually anthem singers stretch it out a bit, but this guy takes it to the extreme. So much so that the organ has to slow down with him so he doesn't get too far ahead. 

Rene Rancourt. YOU SUCK! Maybe you and Ozzy Osborne can do a "take me out to the ballgame" duet. 

The Crosscheck that broke Savard's Back

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Boston Bruins leading scorer Marc Savard suffered a broken bone in his back after being cross-checked by Canadiens forward Steve Begin in Boston 3-2 loss Saturday in Montreal.

Ouch. I hope Savard bounces back and recovers from this next season. He's really come into his own in the league these last few years and has been one of the few free agents to live up to a big money contract. There were a lot of doubters after he left Atlanta saying that he only benefited from playing with Hossa and Kovalchuk. However, he's proved them wrong and showed that he can perform as a key player for the Bruins.

However, this is a crushing blow to Boston's playoff chances as Savard is their leading scorer and they've been slumping as of late going 3-4-3 down the stretch, while Washington is surging and nips at their heels only 2 points behind for 8th spot with a game in hand.

It's down to the wire. Gut check time. Fill in your sports cliche ___________________.
