Here’s what happened while you were enjoying a good night’s rest.
The Canadiens recorded a solid 3-0 win over the Boston Bruins at TD Garden. Carey Price looked like he was back at his best as he made 33 saves for his first shutout of the season. The win was his 290th win, making him No. 2 on the Canadians’ all-time win list — 24 behind Jacques Plante. Brendan Gallagher, Max Domi, and Jordie Benn scored for the Habs. This was Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s 10th game, which means his entry-level contract kicked in.
The Montreal Cannabis Expo drew serious professionals to Place Bonaventure. There was little of the tie-dye and innuendo that has long been associated with cannabis. They’ve been replaced by clean corporate logos and explicit references to cannabis on plain packages. For every booth belonging to a supplier of smoking accessories (the bongs, pipes and papers used to consume cannabis) there was one for an accounting firm, lawyer or supply chain consultant. While not all the products being promoted are yet available — edible forms of cannabis won’t become legal until almost a year from now — you’d be hard pressed to tell any part of the industry was illegal only 11 days earlier.
France’s customs agency says it’s made an extremely surprising discovery in a garage in Marseille: a lion cub. Marseille’s customs brigade found a small female lioness inside a cage Wednesday that weighed just “a few kilograms.” Experts say she’s 1 to 2 months old and has not been weened. The agency said a man who was placed in detention said he acquired the cub from some people in “a building” in the southern French city who said they didn’t know how to look after a wild cat and gave the animal up. The custom agency says the feline was immediately handed over to France’s animal protection group for specialized care. In January 2007, two lion cubs were discovered by Montpellier customs before being given to the Marseille Zoo.
