MONTREAL - Former Montreal forward Gilles Tremblay, who won four Stanley Cups with the Canadiens in the 1960s, has died. He was 75.An exceptional skater known for his contributions on both ends of the ice, Tremblay helped Montreal win four Cups between 1965 and 1969 before injuries and illness forced him to retire.Tremblay suffered from asthma during his career and took doses of cortisone in his playing days and into his later career as the first former player to act as an analyst on French-language hockey broadcasts on Radio-Canada.He had also battled intestinal cancer in recent years.Tremblay played his entire career with Montreal, scoring 168 goals and adding 162 assists over 509 regular-season games.Rejean Houle, who joined the Canadiens in 1969 just as Tremblay was about to leave, called the stocky winger an offensive, defensive player.When you play with Jean Beliveau and Yvan Cournoyer, you need to have skill offensively, but he was the one who was always coming back.Houle, who got to play only 10 games with Tremblay, remembered him as a popular teammate with a gift for telling funny stories.The native of Montmorency, Que., from a family of 14 children made his NHL debut on Nov. 12, 1960 as Montreal faced Detroit at the Forum. The 22-year-old winger started on a line with future Hall of Famers Bernard (Boom Boom) Geoffrion and Beliveau and was tasked with shadowing legendary Red Wings star Gordie Howe.But Tremblay said in his biography Gilles Tremblay: 40 an avec le Canadien (40 Years With The Canadiens) that it was Chicago Blackhawks right-winger Ken Wharram he found most difficult to cover because he skated just as fast as me.Red Berenson, the long time coach of the Michigan Wolverines who played for Montreal in the 1960s, said Tremblay was really serious about playing hard.I never saw a player go so fast backchecking. He was the conscience of the line because he would always win the foot race going back if there was a turnover. He didnt get a lot of fanfare and attention, but he did a good job.Berenson said other players around the NHL tried to play a similar style, but Gilles was just better at it. He took a lot of pride in it.In an era when scoring 20 goals in a season was considered a significant achievement, Tremblay reached that plateau five times. He scored a career-high 32 goals, one shy of team leader Claude Provost, in his second season.Various injuries and acute asthma forced Tremblay to retire after the 1968-69 season, when he was only 31.Tremblay remained close to the game he loved, launching a successful career as a colour analyst for the French television broadcasts of Canadiens games on Radio-Canada.During his 27 years on La Soiree du Hockey, many of them as part of a formidable announcing team with Rene Lecavalier, Gilles insights brought a national audience the stories of hundreds of games and eight more Canadiens titles, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. We send heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of someone who brought great dignity and professionalism to his duties on and off the ice.He was given the Hockey Hall of Fames Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for broadcasting excellence in 2002.I took a lot of pride in that and I opened the door for many others, Tremblay said.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- With the Miami Dolphins needing any kind of score to end a four-game losing streak, two points were plenty. Cameron Wake sacked Andy Dalton for a safety with 6:38 left in overtime, and Miami beat the Cincinnati Bengals 22-20 on Thursday night. On third-and-10 from the 8, Dalton retreated to the goal line and was tackled by Wake coming up the middle for the third overtime safety in NFL history. The officials immediately signalled the score, which was upheld following a replay review. "You just have to do whatever you can to get to the quarterback," said Wake, a two-time CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player with the B.C. Lions. "It couldnt have come at a better time. How much better could it have been than to have a d-lineman seal the deal?" The Pro Bowl end totalled three sacks, and Cincinnati committed four turnovers that might have meant a difference of 17 points. The Dolphins (4-4) won for the first time since their 3-0 start and snapped a four-game winning streak by the Bengals (6-3). "You never want to lose four games in a row," coach Joe Philbin said, "and we had an excellent football team coming in town. It was time for us to step up and we had to make a decision -- what are we going to be? And I thought they answered the bell pretty well tonight." The Bengals still enjoy a two-game lead in the AFC North, but their ranks are rapidly thinning. Defensive tackle Geno Atkins left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury, and coach Marvin said the injury appeared to involve the All-Pros anterior cruciate ligament, which would be season-ending. Pro Bowl left tackle Andrew Whitworth (right knee) and backup linebacker Michael Boley (hamstring) missed the game. The teams traded punts to start overtime. After Cincinnatis Terence Newman was called for a 38-yard pass interference penalty, the Bengals dug in and forced another punt that pinned them deep, setting up the safety by Wake. "My eyes were downfield, and he was there pretty quick," Dalton said, adding he thought he was out of the end zone. According to STATS, Minnesotas Mike Merriweather had the first NFL overtime safety in 1989 against the Los Angeles Rams, and Chicagos Adewale Ogunleye had the second against Tennessee in 2004. "I dont think anyone expected the game to end on a safety," Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. The Bengals lost despite totalling 28 first downs and 465 yardss while holding Miami to three third-down conversions.dddddddddddd They could have tried a 56-yard field goal in overtime but punted to the Dolphins instead. "We had a chance, maybe," Lewis said, "but we felt better about pinning them down." Lewis made another questionable decision at the end of the first half. When the Bengals started from their own 15 with no timeouts and 45 seconds left, he decided against running out the clock. His aggressive approach backfired when Daltons pass was intercepted by Dimitri Patterson, setting up a 36-yard field goal by Caleb Sturgis to put Miami up 10-3 at halftime. Mike Nugent kicked a 54-yard field goal with 1:24 remaining in regulation to put the Bengals ahead, but Miami answered with a 50-yard drive, and Sturgis made a 44-yard field goal with 11 seconds left to force overtime. Brent Grimes returned an interception 94 yards for a touchdown to put the Dolphins up 17-3 midway through the third quarter, but they squandered a two-touchdown second-half lead for the second time in five days. On Sunday in a loss at New England, they were outscored 24-0 in the final 24 minutes. Cincinnatis Giovani Bernard scored on an electrifying tying 35-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that covered perhaps twice that much ground. He started right, doubled back left, weaved up the sideline, cut back across the middle and somersaulted in the end zone, leaving Dolphins sprawled in his wake all along the way. The run took 16 seconds. At least four defenders had a shot at him, including Grimes, who missed twice -- once in the backfield as the play unfolded. Cincinnatis Marvin Jones was kept out of the end zone four days after he caught four touchdown passes. Daltons 50-yard touchdown pass to Jones was negated by a holding call against Jermaine Gresham as the Bengals sputtered four days after scoring 49 points to beat the Jets. The Bengals drove 64 yards for a field goal in the second quarter to take a 3-0 lead, and mounted an 80-yard drive for a touchdown in the third quarter. But Grimes interception represented a potential 14-point swing, because the Bengals were at the Miami 10. Notes: Bernard bruised his ribs in the fourth quarter, but the injury wasnt believed to be serious. ... Miami G Richie Incognito left the game in the second quarter with a neck injury, and CB Nolan Carroll suffered a concussion, both in the second quarter. ... The Dolphins improved to 6-0 on Halloween.
