Police say they?ve traced an Internet death threat made against Capitals star Alex Ovechkin to a 17-year-old boy, according to an Associated Press report on Thursday. Pittsburgh Lt.

Guy Lafleur has been convicted of giving contradictory evidence at his son's bail hearing, and faces a maximum of 14 years in prison. The verdict was handed down in a Montreal courtroom Friday morning. Sentencing arguments began after the verdict. Lafleur agreed in September 2007 to ensure his son Mark abided by a court-ordered curfew if he were granted bail pending trial. But at a hearing the following month, it was revealed the elder Lafleur had driven his son to a hotel so he could spend time with a girlfriend on two occasions.
