The Montreal Alouettes have parted ways with Arland Bruce III. The veteran wide receiver, who has played 12 seasons in the CFL, spent last year with the Als after stints with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Argonauts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and B.C. Lions. In his only season with Montreal, Bruce caught 64 passes for 851 yard and five touchdowns. The 36-year-old Bruce made headlines earlier this month when he went to his Instagram account to make anti-gay remarks in regards to Missouri defensive end Michael Sams announcement that he is gay. The team fined Bruce for his comments. "Our organization supports all types of diversity," said Alouettes general manager Jim Popp at the time. "Every individual is unique and free to make his or her own choices. We evaluate players, coaches and support staff based on their skill set and not by gender, colour, religion or sexual orientation. The Montreal Alouettes have a simple criteria to determine who can be a member of our organization. We seek individuals who will make a positive contribution to our team goals and to the Montreal community." Though the comments certainly didnt endear Bruce to Als management, they werent cited as a reason for his release. Bruces high salary considerations and the fact that Montreal and new head coach Tom Higgins would like to start two Canadians at wide receiver this year were the two main factors in his release. "The Alouettes would like to thank Arland for his hard work and contributions last season," Popp said in a statement on Wednesday evening. "Through the challenges we faced, he played multiple roles on game day and came to work every day with the determination to win. We wish Arland the best in his future endeavours."

Mike Babcock has turned to the Montreal Canadiens goalie over Roberto Luongo, who backed Canada to a gold medal in Vancouver in 2010, for Canadas final preliminary round game against the ailing Finns.The Calgary Flames have won just once in four home games this season, but a visit from the Montreal Canadiens could improve on that record. The Flames try to avoid their first home loss to the Canadiens in over 12 years on Tuesday night as the clubs clash at the Saddledome. You can listen to all the action starting at 7pm ET/4pm PT on TSN Radio 690 Montreal. Calgary is 1-1-1 on a five-game homestand that ends on Friday versus Nashville, its first run of games at home since a season-opening loss to Vancouver on Oct. 8. The Flames got their first victory as the host this season on Thursday, blanking the Carolina Hurricanes, but fell in defeat to Washington 3-1 on Saturday. Dennis Wideman netted the lone goal and Karri Ramo stopped 27 shots in defeat as Calgary allowed a goal in each period. I dont think we gave ourselves our chance to win ... I dont think we played our best game, Flames head coach Bob Hartley said. That cant be said of Wideman, who leads all NHL defenseman with five goals. They have all come in his past six games and the blueliners goal on Saturday was his 300th career point. Forward Davis Jones, who has missed the last eight games with a lower-body injury, is expected to return to action tonight, but forward Mason Raymond is day-to-day with an unknown injury and not expected to play tonight. Hartley has aalternated starts this season between Ramo and Jonas Hiller, so the latter figures to get the call tonight.dddddddddddd Hiller is 2-1-2 with a 2.67 goals against average and .912 save percentage in five meetings with the Habs. Hiller will try to extend the Flames nine-game home unbeaten streak over the Canadiens, who have not won in Calgary since Jan. 5, 2002. Calgary is 8-0-0 with a tie since and that includes a victory outdoors on Feb. 20, 2011 at McMahon Stadium. The Habs should present a nice challenge for the Flames given their 7-2-0 start to the campaign. They picked up that second loss on Monday night in Edmonton, falling 3-0 and having a four-game winning streak halted. Carey Price was given the night off and his backup, Dustin Tokarski, made 16 saves for the Canadiens, who had a first-period goal waived off because it was ruled that Brendan Gallagher made contact with Oilers goaltender Ben Scrivens. If we didnt score, that means we werent good enough, said defenseman Andrei Markov. We have to work harder and be better tomorrow. Montreal allowed more than two goals for the first time in four games and will wrap a three-game road trip on Thursday in Vancouver. Price figures to start tonight and is 2-4-0 with a 3.04 GAA and .892 save percentage in six games versus the Flames, all but one of those starts. ' ' '
