League.

. Hicham Khalouas late goal improved Almerias chances of avoiding relegation in
a match dominated by contentious calls, including three penalties. One day after
Barcelonas 4-3 win at Real Madrid featured three penalties, referees again
dominated a wide-open game that saw Almeria ultimately move out of the
relegation zone and one point ahead of Getafe which took its place. Angel
Trujillo handled inside the area to set up Carlos Velas penalty that was
subsequently cancelled out by Oscar Diaz before Real went ahead again in the
58th-minute through Imanol Agirretxes sublime lob over goalkeeper Esteban
Suarez. Jose Antonio Garcia converted a pair of disputed penalties inside five
minutes after Sociedad defenders Carlos Martinez and Mikel Gonzalez were perhaps
harshly booked for separate fouls that led to Almeria getting ahead again after
71 minutes. Markel Bergara headed home an equalizer in the 85th for Sociedad,
which slipped nine points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish
league when fullback Alberto De la Bellas clearance came straight off Khaloua
into goal. "Were not eyeing fourth-place as our objective," Sociedad coach
Jagoba Arrasate said. "If you score three goals away from home you should win,
but we werent strong enough when we had to be and we defended poorly, especially
on the last goal." After 29 rounds, Atletico Madrid leads with 70 points -- the
same as Real Madrid, but it holds the head-to-head advantage over its crosstown
rival. Barcelona trails the pair by one point. The 30th round of the league
kicks off on Tuesday with Malaga playing Espanyol and Bilbao at Elche.
Fourth-placed Athletic, which holds the final Champions League qualifying place,
is eight points better than Sevilla, which is one point ahead of Sociedad.

. Ricciardos exclusion from the results tarnished what had been a day of
celebration for local fans, who were jubilant that the Red Bull driver had
apparently become the first Australian to finish on the podium at his home race.
However just before midnight, stewards ruled that Ricciardos car had "exceeded
consistently the maximum allowed fuel flow" and that the team refused an
instruction from the races technical delegate Charlie Whiting to change the
fuel-flow sensor before the race and a further request during the race to reduce
the fuel flow.

. Ryan Howard had five RBIs and Kendrick pitched sharply into the seventh inning
to snap his 10-game losing streak as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado
Rockies 9-0 Monday.WASHINGTON -- Check two more items off the list in an
impressive homestretch by the Boston Bruins. They are now Atlantic Division
champions, and Jarome Iginla has recovered from his slow start to reach 30 goals
once again. Boston accomplished those feats Saturday against the Washington
Capitals, a desperate team whose first and foremost goal -- making the playoffs
for a seventh straight season -- looked a bit more distant after Saturdays 4-2
loss. "We need these wins so bad," Washington defenceman Karl Alzner said, "that
sometimes you overplay. It can be a big problem that can really mess your game
up." And its not a good idea to mess up against the Bruins, who have won 14 of
15 and have allowed only 13 goals over 11 games. Iginla scored twice, and
Carl Soderberg added a goal to give Boston a 3-0 lead in the second period, more
than enough to hold off a surge from a Washington team that woke up too late.
The Bruins had already clinched a playoff spot, so the division title didnt
create so much as a celebratory ripple in the locker room. "We dont even talk
about that. I wasnt even -- I knew there was something that would happen if we
won tonight, but we find out now weve clinched and thats fine," coach Claude
Julien said. "Again, weve got an opportunity to do even more than that."
Patrice Bergeron added a third-period goal to extend his goal-scoring streak to
a career-high six games, and Chad Johnson made 31 saves. Iginla reached the
30-goal mark for the 12th time, a nice comeback after scoring only four in the
first 24 games this season. "When you look at the start he had, nobody would
have predicted that," Julien said. "But hes a pretty streaky goal-scorer."
Iginla now has 10 goals in nine games. "Ive been getting some good bounces
lately, and its been a fun year," he said. "Fun to win games and be at the top
of the league, and to be on some streaks as a group." Washington began the day
tied with Columbus, Detroit and Toronto in what has essentially become a
four-way race for two playoff spots, but the Capitals would lose a tiebreaker
against all three teams. The Bruins gave the CCapitals top-rated power play only
three chances, and they corralled Alex Ovechkin enough to keep the NHLs leading
goal scorer in a 5-on-5 slump.
http://www.bearsnflfansmall.com/c-37-bears-pat-odonnell-jersey.aspx.
Ovechkin has 48 goals this season, but hasnt scored at even-strength since Feb.
27. The Capitals had no shots on goal in the first 6 minutes and only two after
14 minutes. The game was scoreless after the first period solely because of
goalie Braden Holtby, but he could hold down the fort for only so long. A
turnover at centre ice allowed Soderberg to spring Iginla for a breakaway that
opened the scoring in the second period. A few minutes later, Soderberg
redirected an already deflected shot by Bergeron on a power play to make it 2-0,
and Iginla made it a three-goal lead by stuffing in his own rebound 41 seconds
later. Washington coach Adam Oates said he was "shocked" at how poorly his team
started. "I thought our forechecking was lousy," Oates said. When the Capitals
finally turned up the intensity, it came from the third line that has led the
team in recent weeks. Jason Chimera put Washington on the board with 10 seconds
remaining in the second period, and a dominant shift by Chimeras line drew a
penalty on Andrej Meszaros in the third. But the Capitals couldnt score during
the man-advantage, and soon the Bruins had a power play of their own. With
Ovechkin off for charging, Bergeron put in a rebound to restore the three-goal
cushion. Oates said the penalty on Ovechkin was a "terrible" call. "I dont like
the call, but he called it," Oates said. "He saw something that I dont agree
with now, but our job is to kill it." NOTES: Evgeny Kuznetsov scored his second
NHL goal in the final minute. ... Capitals D Jack Hillen sat out with an
upper-body injury sustained in a collision with Ovechkin during overtime of
Tuesdays loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Hillen was replaced by John Erskine, who
had been out with a lower-body injury and played for the first time since March
5. ... The Capitals are the last team to beat the Bruins in regulation, a 4-2
win on March 1. Since then, Boston has outscored opponents 54-20 in non-shootout
goals.
