Habs anything but settled...

Tonight, the Montreal Canadiens will attempt to do something that has not been done since May 12. That is, to score a goal. Since their 5-2 dismantling of Pittsburgh in the second round of the NHL playoffs, les Habitants must have not gotten the memo that the conference finals are underway.

Let's not take anything away from Leighton, who has been nothing short of exceptional. However, for a team that was able to knock off the Eastern conference's best team, followed by a victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions, Montreal has been outplayed and most importantly, outscored.

It can be assured that the Bell Centre will be electric tonight as Montreal attempts to avoid falling into a seemingly insurmountable hole, a fight that Philadelphia is all too familiar with. Much will rest on the shoulders of Canadiens goalie Jaroslav Halak. Not only has he given up 9 goals in the last 2 games, there was a seemingly underlying tone of defeat evident among the entire Canadien squad.

Just over an hour away from the puck dropping.

Phiten Technology: LEGAL enhancement.

It seems that every week, companies are developing products that are designed to "enhance" an athlete's performance. From lighter shoes, to sweat-absorbing apparel to mouth guards that are proven to improve agility by aligning your spinal column, one has to wonder where to draw the line with sports technology.

Recently, I noticed many major league baseball players wearing pink, rope-like necklaces on Mother's Day. These necklaces were designed to promote breast cancer awareness along with arm bands and baseball bats painted pink. It wasn't until I looked into buying one of those necklaces that I realized they are anything but an ordinary piece of jewellery.

Phiten technology utilizes the Phild Process in their products. Using this process, it helps to combat fatigue and stabilize the flow of energy within the body, allowing for faster recovery time while keeping the muscles relaxed, preventing stress and injury.

Still not convinced? I wasn't either so I decided to look a little deeper. It turns out there may be more to this product than one may think.

Using the Phild Process, Phiten scientists are able to dissolve titanium in water, a process which was not possible because modern titanium is not soluble. By using Phiten's filed process technology, they are able to dissolve titanium, creating Aqua-Titanium. This helps emit energy and controls the body's bio electric current.

Listen, I'm not a scientist. Do I think this product works? I really can't tell you because I've never tried it. But, after checking out the Phiten website and getting a chance to read and learn about this product, it is amazing that technology allows for such advancement in sports equipment.

However, I do not feel that professional athletes would wear something that hinders their performance. With athletes such as Josh Beckett, Justin Morneau, Sergio Garcia and Jennie Finch wearing this product, one would have to think it works.
