VANCOUVER -- The future is still up in the air for Brent Johnson. Nike Air Max 2015 Wholesale . The 34-year-old B.C. Lions defensive end was in no mood to talk retirement after the Lions captured the 2011 Grey Cup with a 34-23 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at B.C. Place on Sunday. "Im going sit down and drink some champagne and have a few beers -- thats my future," said Johnson as he and the rest of the Lions celebrated on a midfield covered in confetti. The Kingston, Ont., native captured his second Grey Cup in his 11th season with the Lions, the only CFL team for which he has played. He made good on a second chance to win the CFL championship at home after the Lions failed to qualify for the CFL championship game in 2005, losing to the Edmonton Eskimos in the Western Final. In the week leading up to Grey Cup, Johnson called that missed opportunity one of the biggest regrets of his career and vowed to put a "band-aid" on the wound. Johnson also triumphed after his career was in question last season. The former dominant defender was relegated to a backup role but earned his fifth West Division all-star selection in 2010. The reduced role continued this season, but Johnson soldiered on as the Lions rebuilt defensive line went through growing pains. He was rewarded for his hard work Sunday, and wanted to savour every minute of the celebration. "This is what we play for," said Johnson, who was credited with one tackle. "This is what we played for this entire year. I was just trying to enjoy it and have a good season." Johnson helped the Lions limit the Bombers to 286 yards in net offence. Against the run, where the defensive line is needed the most, the Lions held Winnipeg to just 41 yards. But the retirement question still looms for Johnson. He missed the first game of his career this season, against Edmonton on Oct. 29, to be with his wife while she was in the process of delivering the couples first child. Lions general manager and coach Wally Buono has described Johnson as "a good soldier" who helped the club get through a difficult transition started a couple of seasons ago. But Buono has made it clear he plans to fill the position with a young player soon. "Ill think about it in a few days," said Johnson as he return to the on-field celebration. Johnson won his first Grey Cup with B.C. in 2006. Nike Roshe Run Sale Uk . Chen (1-0), who led the Royals with 12 wins last season, scattered three hits, walked one and struck out seven. Billy Butler finished 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored for Kansas City, which snapped a two-game slide. Nike Roshe Run Sale Womens . -- Greg Zipadelli met Danica Patrick just over a week ago, with very little time to prepare for their first test session together. http://www.ukshoessale.me.uk/nike-roshe-run/nike-roshe-run-flyknit.html . LOUIS -- After ups and downs last season after reconstructive elbow surgery, Adam Wainwright is reclaiming his role as the St.MONTREAL -- T.J. Oshie scored in the shootout to give the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night. Alexander Steen and Chris Stewart scored for St. Louis in regulation time (9-2-2). Jaroslav Halak stopped 25 shots and turned away three shots in the shootout. Rene Bourque and Michael Bournival scored for Montreal (8-7-1), while Carey Price made 30 saves. The Blues outshot the Canadiens 32-27 overall. St. Louis opened the scoring at 2:38 of the first period when Steen fired home his league-leading 13th goal of the season. Blues captain David Backes started the play by stealing the puck from defender Douglas Murray, who was playing softly behind his own net. Backes pushed Murray down with little effort and passed the puck to a wide-open Steen, who beat Price over his left shoulder. Montreal tied the game at 5:38 of the second period. Andrei Markov drove hard to the net, knocking Halak in the process. With Halak still shaken up, the puck fell to Bourque in the crease, making no mistake from close range. Bournival put the Canadiens in front at 14:49, his fourth of the year, when he intercepted a poor pass from Jay Bouwmeester in the St. Louis zone and quickly fired a slap shot between Halaks legs. Stewart levelled the score at 10:31 of the third period by deflecting a Kevin Shattenkirk blue-line shot off the post and in past Price. Tomas& Plekanec was awarded a penalty shot in the final minute of the third period, but missed the net high and wide. Nike Roshe Run Oreo. Overtime solved nothing before Oshie scored the shootout winner. Former Canadiens netminder Halak returned to Montreal for just the second time since being traded to the Blues in 2010. Halak earned a shutout in his only other trip to Montreal in Jan. 2012, beating 3-0 the team he once led deep into the playoffs. The Slovak goalie is now (3-0) against his old club. David Desharnais was out of the Canadiens lineup after a regrettable start to his season. The 27-year-old forward, who recently signed a 4-year contract extension with the Habs, has managed only one point in 15 games this season. Forward Martin St-Pierre, who was recently called up from the Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL), made his Montreal Canadiens debut playing on the fourth line with George Parros and Ryan White, in place of Desharnais. St-Pierre, who currently leads the Bulldogs with eight points, finished the game with 9:53 of ice time. Notes: The Canadiens were coming off back-to-back road losses to the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche. a Montreal was without injured players Daniel Briere, Brandon Prust, Alexei Emelin and Travis Moen. There is no timetable yet for their return. a Montreal last beat St. Louis in Nov. 2008. a Montreal heads to Ottawa to play the Senators on Thursday, Nov. 7. cheap nfl jerseys cheap soccer jerseys ' ' '
