After Manny Pacquiao reclaimed a welterweight world title with a dominant decision victory against Jessie Vargas on Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, he did not spend a few days relaxing.Instead, Pacquiao, new belt in tow, left town the next night for a long flight back to the Philippines -- the plan all along so he could ensure he was at the senate chamber in Manila when the senate went back into session on Tuesday.Sure enough, Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs), who was elected to the senate in May, was there on time, keeping his perfect attendance record intact -- a difficult task considering that he pulled double duty for the past couple of months by juggling his senate duties and training camp. The fight had been scheduled for Saturday because it came at the tail end of a recess.When Pacquiao entered the senate chamber, he had his world title belt, and his senate colleagues passed a resolution commending his discipline to effectively serve the citizens of the Philippines while also training for his world title fight.Pacquiao, the first sitting senator from any country to win a world title, then presented his new belt to senate president Aquilino Koko Pimentel as a gift to the citizens of the Philippines.To manifest my heartfelt thanksgiving, I would like to donate my WBO welterweight belt to the senate of the Philippines, Pacquiao said. The honor does not belong to me alone but to every Filipino. May it serve as an inspiration for everyone to pursue excellence and to continue fighting for our nations sovereignty.Senate resolution No. 217 lauded Pacquiaos achievement.?Senate President Aquilino Koko Pimentel III and the other senators congratulate their colleague Senator Emmanuel Manny Pacquiao after the Senate approved Senate Resolution No. 217 commending Pacquiao for his recent victory over former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Jessie Vargas, during Tuesdays session, November 08, 2016, the resolution read. Apart from Pimentel, Senators Sherwin Win Gatchalian, Leila de Lima, Risa Hontiveros, Grace Poe, Richard Gordon, Senate Minority Leader Ralph Recto and Senate Majority Leader Vicente Tito Sotto III, along with Senators Loren Legarda, Juan Miguel Migz Zubiri, Juan Edgardo Sonny Angara, Panfilo Ping Lacson, Gregorio Gringo Honasan II and Francis Kiko Pangilinan were also present to celebrate Pacquiaos win.

For much of the lockout-delayed season, it didnt look good for them. The storied franchise used to chase Stanley Cup titles with key players in their late 30s and 40s such as Nicklas Lidstrom, Chris Chelios, Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull and Larry Murphy. Not anymore. As the Chicago Blackhawks are now finding out, the Red Wings are much better than they were during the regular season thanks to an improved cast of inexperienced players. "Weve had great growth from within, I think the most since Ive been in the National Hockey League for sure," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said Sunday. "That may be because we have a different type of team. We got a whole bunch of kids, so we have a chance for growth." Red Wings rookie Brendan Smith scored the winning goal Saturday in Detroits 4-1 win at Chicago that tied the series 1-1. The top-seeded Blackhawks won the opener by the same 4-1 score. "We knew they were going to come back and play much better than they did in Game 1," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. "Obviously, we didnt quite match the effort." When the puck drops Monday night in Detroit for Game 3, Toews hopes his team is ready to bounce back. "Theres no time to waste in this series," Toews said. "We know going into their building its even more difficult." It will be even more challenging for Chicago if Toews cant produce as he did in the 48-game regular season. Toews had 23 goals, tying Patrick Kane for the team lead and trailing just four players in the league. However, he is struggling to score for a third straight post-season. Toews is in an eight-game playoff slump that dates to last year. He has just three goals combined in three postseasons since scoring seven goals to help Chicago win the Cup in 2010. He had seven goals the previous post-season -- his first -- when Detroit eliminated the Blackhawks in the Western Conference finals. Henrik Zetterberg had a lot to do with holding Toews without a point in Game 2, an accomplishment that didnt surprise Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard. "Most nigghts, hes the best player on the ice," Howard said.dddddddddddd "No different from (Saturday), the way he was all over Toews the whole game, shutting him down. Were going to need that for the whole series." The Red Wings would also benefit if their inexperienced players figure out a way to avoid fading into the background. Before Smiths go-ahead goal on Saturday, first-year player Damien Brunner and rookie Gustav Nyquist also scored winning goals this post-season -- in overtime against Anaheim. Teammate Joakim Andersson ranks among rookie scoring leaders. The 27-year-old Brunner, too old to be a candidate for the Calder Trophy given to the rookie of the year, has followed up a 26-point regular season with four goals in the playoffs to match Johan Franzen for the team lead. He also has three assists. Calder finalist Brandon Saad has only one assist in seven post-season games for the Blackhawks. The 20-year-old forward had 27 points during the regular season. Brunner has insisted it doesnt bother him to be out of the running for the Calder, and sounded even more thankful on Sunday that he waited to make the jump from the Swiss League. The 5-foot-11, 184-pound forward was banged around on the ice quite a bit and had growing pains off it, dealing with a lot of travel after his longest trip last year was a 2 1/2-hour bus ride. "You kind of think its not that big of a deal when you come over, but after a couple trips and the hours you lose, especially when you come back home, its tough," Brunner said. "Its really tough." While Babcocks job behind the bench was tougher this year than it had been the past seven seasons with veteran-filled rosters, he relished the opportunity to lead the young Red Wings. "Its the most fun Ive had coaching in a couple years, by far, just because we have a real enthusiastic group," Babcock said. "At the start of the year, we werent a good team. We all understood that, but we buckled down and we got better. Its been fun for us. If you would have asked me before the playoffs, I wouldve told you the same thing. Then suddenly you have a little success in the playoffs -- and its more fun." ' ' '
