Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Joe Thornton scored 2:22 into overtime, as the San Jose Sharks defeated the Los Angeles Kings, 4-3, in Game 6 to advance to the conference semifinals. Nike Air Huarache Nere bianche . The second-seeded Sharks bounced back from Saturdays 3-1 loss to win this Western Conference quarterfinal series 4-2. Antti Niemi made 26 saves for the Sharks, who are trying to embark on another deep playoff run after making it to the conference finals a year ago. San Jose was swept by Chicago in the third round last year. Kyle Wellwood, Jason Demers and Dany Heatley also lit the lamp for the Sharks, who won three overtime games in this series. LA played extremely hard, they were very well prepared, and their staff did a very good job of preparing their team to play against us, Sharks head coach Todd McLellan said. We dont do anything easy. There is some resiliency in the locker room; the leadership showed through when it had to, the belief in the goaltenders we had was very important. Trevor Lewis had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who lost three overtime games in a playoff series for the first time since the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals against Montreal (Games 2, 3 and 4). Ryan Smyth and Justin Williams also scored for Los Angeles, which got 31 saves from Jonathan Quick. In Game 5, Quick made a franchise playoff-record 51 saves. The Kings had a great chance to break a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation. With 3:23 to play, San Joses Jamie McGinn slammed Brad Richardson into the boards and was given a major charging penalty and an automatic game misconduct. Niemi rose to the occasion, making multiple great saves in the final minutes to send the game into overtime. Los Angeles five-minute power play carried into the extra session, but the Sharks killed it off. Thats a critical moment in the game right there; we had a chance to put it away, Kings head coach Terry Murray said. I thought we did with about 17 seconds left in the game, there was celebration going on, people were throwing their arms in the air. I thought it was over. But again, thats a missed opportunity. On the game-winner, Devin Setoguchi carried the puck around the net and found himself along the left boards. His pass to the front of the net hit off Patrick Marleaus skate and bounced around. With Quick out of position, Thornton put the puck into the net for the thrilling victory. The puck kind of popped out and I was just in front of the net and grabbed it and put it in the open net, Thornton said. It was a pretty good play whoever shot the puck. I was just in the right place at the right time. The Sharks drew first blood at the 2:58 mark of the second period. Wellwood took a pass from Thornton and beat Quick with a shot from the slot. Thorntons mistake led to Los Angeles first goal. A double minor for high sticking gave the Kings a four-minute power play at the 11:13 mark. Williams jammed home a rebound over two minutes into the man advantage to make it a 1-1 game. Demers put the Sharks up 2-1 with 3:08 to play in the middle stanza when his snap shot from the right circle beat Quick. Smyth scored off a rebound just 18 seconds into the third to make it a 2-2 contest. San Jose went back in front at the 8:48 mark. Heatley stole the puck at the blue line and made his way to the left circle. His snap shot got past Quick. Lewis power-play goal made it 3-3 with 8:21 remaining. Jarret Stoll launched a shot from the left point that hit a skate in front, and Lewis was in the right spot to knock in the loose puck. GAME NOTES:Los Angeles has come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a series just once in its history. That was back in 1989 when the Kings ousted Edmonton in seven games of a division semifinal series...The Kings, who lost to Vancouver in the first round last year, havent won a playoff series since beating Detroit in the opening round of the 2001 postseason...San Jose has never lost a series when leading three-games-to-one. Nike Air Huarache Nere . Trumbo said he felt pain while jogging to his position Monday against the Chicago Cubs and an MRI revealed the stress fracture. He goes on the DL retroactive to Tuesday. Trumbo, who was part of a three-way trade with the White Sox and Angels during the off-season, was tied for the NL lead with seven homers and second with 19 RBIs. Nike Roshe One Bianche . The 55th-ranked Austrian saved five of the eight break points he faced and converted three of his 12 chances to defeat the Spaniard in 2 1/2 hours. Granollers, ranked 40 places above Thiem, was granted a first-round bye at the clay-court event.SEATTLE - The run support Felix Hernandez deserved in his three previous starts finally arrived. Logan Morrison hit two long home runs, Hernandez threw seven strong innings to win for the first time since June 2 and the Seattle Mariners used a six-run fourth inning to rout the Boston Red Sox 12-3 on Monday night. Seattle won its fourth straight after a weekend sweep in Kansas City. The Mariners finally provided Hernandez (9-2) with some runs and battered right-hander John Lackey (8-5) in his shortest outing since September 2011. Seattle had scored one run total while Hernandez was on the mound in his previous three starts. Getting a dozen against the Red Sox was more than enough for Seattles ace. "I was so happy. They came through. They were pretty good," Hernandez said. Hernandez set a club record with his eighth straight start pitching at least seven innings and allowing two earned runs or less. He struck out six, walked none and efficiently handed the Red Sox their fourth loss in five games. Hernandezs only miscues were David Ortizs RBI single in the first and Mike Napolis solo homer in the fourth. Morrison had the first multihomer game of his career. His solo shot in the second inning off Lackey pulled Seattle even and he added to the offensive outburst with a two-run homer in the seventh, a 421-foot drive to centre field off reliever Chris Capuano. Morrison finished with four hits for the third time in his career and four RBIs. Morrison felt he started to have better at bats last week against San Diego and carried over into the weekend series in Kansas City. "Just feeling like I could stay behind the ball better, put better swings on better pitches," Morrison said. "You stick to the process, stick to the process, keep grinding out at-bats and the next thing you know you look at the end of the year and have pretty good numbers. Thats what I hope happens this year." Seattles big fourth inning started with Robinson Canos ddouble. Nike Roshe One Br 2015. Kyle Seager followed with an RBI single and Morrison was able to beat the Red Sox shift with a single into right field to put runners on the corners. Lackey was visibly miffed that Morrisons grounder got through the defence and he followed by walking Mike Zunino to load the bases. Dustin Ackley then had the at-bat that changed the game. Ackley made Lackey work for 13 pitches, eventually hitting a grounder to first. Napoli threw to second to get the second out but Lackey did not cover first base and the chance at an inning ending double play was missed. Seager scored and Lackey struggled with his composure. A wild pitch allowed Morrison to score and a walk to Brad Miller and Willie Bloomquists single loaded the bases. With one swing, Chavez surpassed his RBI total for the season. Brock Holt was playing shallow and unable to chase down Chavezs line drive, clearing the bases and giving Seattle a 7-2 lead. "I was trying to put something in play the whole at-bat and score a run there. He was making pitches," Ackley said. "There were maybe one or two, I could have handled but fouled off the rest. ... Fortunately it went a long way and he tired out a little bit. Lackey was done after 3 2-3 innings, snapping a string of 39 straight starts going at least five innings. He gave up seven hits and walked three. Lackey needed 36 pitches to get through three innings and threw 38 pitches in getting just two outs in the fourth. "I wasnt able to make a pitch to get out of there," Lackey said. "It kind of starting to go downhill and I couldnt stop it." NOTES: Hernandez allowed a homer for the first time since April 21 vs. Houston. ... Lackeys last start of less than five innings was May 14, 2013, vs. Tampa Bay when he went 4 1-3 innings. ... Boston manager John Farrell said its possible injured OF Shane Victorino (hamstring) could rejoin the team this weekend in New York depending on his rehab starts this week. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

The Vikings announced Hendersons release Friday. Henderson had one season left on his contract with a $1.95 million salary. Hendersons latest arrest was Jan. 1 after he crashed his sport utility vehicle in Chanhassen. Henderson is scheduled to appear in court March 3 on charges off second- and third-degree driving while intoxicated and test refusal, possession of a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and violation of a limited drivers license. http://www.therangersfanshop.com/Derick-Brassard-Jersey/. Henderson was moved to middle linebacker last season and the starter there until he was arrested Nov. 19 in Eden Prairie on suspicion of DWI and drug possession. The 27-year-old finished second on the team in tackles last season. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies put outfielder Michael Cuddyer and right-hander Eddie Butler on the 15-day disabled list and selected the contract of right-hander Christian Bergman to make his major league debut. http://www.thecoltsofficialstore.com/authentic-matt-hasselbeck-colts-jersey/ . Bergman was scheduled to start Monday nights game against Atlanta. In addition, the Rockies announced on Twitter that outfielder Carlos Gonzalez will have exploratory surgery on his injured left index finger. The procedure will take place in Cleveland on Tuesday. Gonzalez went on the DL earlier this month. Cuddyer is out because of a strained left shoulder and Butler has inflammation in his right rotator cuff. Cuddyer has not played since being injured diving for a grounder when playing third base Thursday against Arizona. He is scheduled to have an MRI on Tuesday. "Fortunately its his left shoulder, but its affecting when he swings," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. "Theres some concern there because its still pretty sore. Well get the test done and everything. Initially we were hoping he would feel better by now." This is Cuddyers second stint on the DL after missing 28 games with a strained left hamstring. He is hitting .317 with five home runs this season. The 23-year-old Butler allowed six runs and 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings in his major league debut during Fridays 7-2 loss to the Dodgers. Weiss said Butler felt fine after the start but was sore the next day. "Were going to be cautious with a young pitcher like Eddie," Weiss said. "No reason to push it so were going to give him time, let that soreness go away and hopefully its not anything serious. We dont think it is right now." The Rockies have been hit with several injuries in the last month. Third baseman Nolan Arenado broke his finger at Atlanta on May 23 and will miss at least a month. Gonzalez played through pain throughout the season before being placed on the 15-day DL on June 3. Pain in the index finger had lingering when Gonzalez consulted hand specialist Thomas Graham at the Cleveland Clinic on May 29 when the Rockies were starting a series against the Indians. The Rockies also lost starter Jordan Lyles to a broken left hand last week. "Youve got to stay away from that type of feeling that were jinxed," Weiss said. "I talked in spring training that were going to go well beyond the 25-man roster that we broke camp with and thats been the case. Were just getting hit early and often with the injury bug." Bergman was 4-4 with a 3.84 ERA in 12 starts for Triple-A Colorado Springs. He is the fourth Rockies pitcher to make his major league debut this season. The Rockies also recalled righty Chad Bettis from Triple-A and designated reliever Wilton Lopez for assignment. http://www.thecoltsofficialstore.com/authentic-david-parry-colts-jersey/ .

And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates. Is that Your Final Answer? The Pittsburgh Penguins are reportedly ponying up in their efforts to lure Ryan Kesler out of Vancouver. Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported a proposed deal between the Pens and Canucks that he credited to multiple sources. “A proposed deal would send Kesler to the Penguins in exchange for Brandon Sutter, two 2014 draft picks — likely a first- and third-round — and the Canucks choice of defensemen Simon Despres or Brian Dumoulin,” Rossi wrote on Saturday. Rossi continued to say that it is possible the deal could involve another player going in either direction, but that Penguins GM Ray Shero was only looking to acquire Kesler. Goalies Gone Wild The Minnesota Wild are apparently very much in the market for an upgrade between the pipes. According to Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Wild GM Chuck Fletcher is after a netminder and was even in on discussions for former Buffalo keeper Ryan Miller before getting priced out. So, who fits the bill for Minnys playoff push? Russo drops a lengthy list that spans from new Sabres acquisition Jarsolav Halak to established number ones like Martin Brodeur and Cam Ward to enigmatic Oilers netminder Ilya Bryzgalov. Snowfall Warning? Could this be Paul Stastnys last week as a member of the Colorado Avalanche? The Denver Posts Adrian Dater writes that if the AAvs are unable to get the 28-year-old re-upped before the deadline, they could deal him rather than risk losing him for nothing over the summer as an unrestricted free agent. http://www.thecoltsofficialstore.com/authentic-peyton-manning-colts-jersey/. "You want to keep winning and dont want to break that chemistry, but at the same time if something happens, it happens. Its just part of the business. Some things I cant control and I just worry about what I can control — and thats playing hockey," Stastny told the Post. Dater believes the Avs could probably expect a young defenseman in return and one that might still have time left on an existing deal or, if not, a pending restricted free agent. Call Me, Maybe? Jaromir Jagr is an intriguing name to watch prior to Wednesday. The 42-year-old just became the NHLs seventh 700-goal scorer and – as a pending unrestricted free agent – could be an attractive veteran addition for many teams as they push towards the post-season. But the iconic Czech winger cautions that any team looking for his services should probably run it by him first. “The situation with me is I think if any team would try to trade for me they would probably ask me first if I wanted to go there,” Jagr told the Star-Ledger after the New Jersey Devils Saturday win over the New York Islanders. “I dont have a contract (for next season) and Im 42 years old. What if I decided to go home? Nobody is going to give any draft picks or players for me if they dont know. “Same thing happened when I went to Boston (from Dallas last season). They called before. So Im probably going to know whats going on before.” Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler wouldve liked the rest. http://www.shirtbelgievoetbalshop.be/jason-denayer-shirt-belgie.html . Instead, they got a test. The New York Knicks got through it, thanks to big plays from their All-Stars. Anthony had 19 points and 10 rebounds, making a pair of baskets in a finishing run after New York had blown a 25-point lead, and the Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 90-83 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams. Seemingly coasting to a second straight opening-night blowout, the Knicks instead were behind with less than 3 minutes remaining before Chandlers follow dunk and two straight baskets by Anthony put them back ahead by five. "It was a test for us tonight to see what type of team we are when it comes down to situations like that," Anthony said. Chandler added another basket in the Knicks 10-2 run to close out their sixth straight victory over the Bucks and give them their first win in Madison Square Garden since the completion of its $1 billion renovation. Raymond Felton added 18 points and Iman Shumpert had 16 for the Knicks, who shot 51 per cent but committed 22 turnovers. Gary Neal scored 16 points and fellow newcomer Caron Butler had 14 for the Bucks, who opened on the road for the 29th consecutive year. Butlers 3-pointer tied it at 80 with 4:40 to play and the Bucks then took their first lead of the game on John Hensons free throw with 3:13 remaining. New York went back ahead on Chandlers follow dunk, then Anthony had a tip-in and a basket in the lane to make it 86-81 with 1:14 to go. O.J. Mayo knocked down a jumper before another basket by Chandler and a layup by Felton closed out a game that looked as if it would be an easy victory in the first half -- and a welcome one with a game against Chicago on Thursday. "Theres definitely things we can learn, and like I told the guys coming into the locker room, we want to put teams away, especially, you know, youre going into a back-to-back, so you have an opportunity to rest," Chandler said. "But like I say, at the end of the day, learning experience, and Id rather learn with a win than a loss." The Knicks beat Miami by 20 last year in their opener, the springboard to a 6-0 start that carried them to their first Atlantic Division title since 1994. But they got sloppy in the third quarter of this one, and without Amare Stoudemire and Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith, were missing a couple of players who couldve helped them get back on track offensively. Smith is suspended the first five games of the season after violating the NBAs anti-drug program. Stoudemire dressed but didnt play. Coach Mike Woodson, trying to keep Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin healthy, plans to limit their minutes and apparently not let either play on both nights of back-to-backs. Stoudemire will play Thursday and Martin will rest. Already without Luke Ridnour because of a sore back, the Bucks then lost starting point guard Brandon Knight to a strained right hamstring in the opening minutes of the game, forcing them to go a long way with rookie Nate Wolters from South Dakota State. The Bucks then managed just 13 points in the second quarter as the Knicks opened a 56-31 lead at halftime. Milwaukee had 16 turnovers and just 13 baskets in the half. "My message to the guys at the halftime was I didnt care about whether we won or lost the game, I cared about us playing the way I know were capable of playing," new Bucks coach Larry Drew said. "Thats all we did in the second half. We didnt do anything different than what weve been working on during the first day of training camp. Guys came back, overcame a 25-point deficit. Had a chance to win and just didnt make the plays at the end." http://www.shirtbelgievoetbalshop.be/laurent-depoitre-shirt-belgie.html .Y. -- The Ottawa Senators got aggressive in overtime and Jared Cowen made it work. http://www.shirtbelgievoetbalshop.be/matz-sels-shirt-belgie.html . -- After losing home-ice advantage on the final day of the regular season, the Montreal Canadiens couldve found satisfaction in splitting the first two games at Tampa Bay Times Forum.KUUSAMO, Finland - Four-time Olympic champion Simon Ammann of Switzerland earned his first ski jump World Cup victory of the season by winning a large hill event Friday with the best jump in both rounds.Amman had jumps of 139.5 and 142 metres for 284.1 points, beating Japans Daiki Ito by 8 points.

(SportsNetwork. Nike Air Max 90 Saldi .com) - Colin Kaepernick can already here the whispers and they will only grow louder if he fails again in two weeks. On the surface it seems like the Seattle Seahawks have the athletic quarterbacks number, a narrative further fueled on Thanksgiving Day when Richard Shermans two interceptions highlighted a dominant Seattle defensive effort as the Seahawks downed Kaepernicks 49ers, 19-3, in the latest edition of footballs fiercest rivalry. We just didnt play well, a disappointed Kaepernick said. And the outspoken Sherman, whose key defensive stop against Kaepernick and Michael Crabtree in Januarys NFC Championship Game helped vault the Seahawks into the Super Bowl, didnt miss his chance to pile on after he and his mates held the San Francisco offense to just 164 total yards. What history? I know no history, Sherman joked. There was an opponent (Kaepernick) who said he would throw it to the open man. He didnt care who was out there (in coverage). I was the open man. That was a nod to earlier in the week when Kaepernick affirmed he wouldnt shy away from throwing at Sherman despite the All-Pros reputation as the games best cornerback and his previous high-profile success against the Niners. They were bad throws, Kaepernick admitted. Our receivers won. I didnt make the throw on those. Those were my fault. Back in January, the Seahawks edged out the 49ers 23-17 in Seattle, scoring 13 unanswered points and going ahead on Russell Wilsons 35-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse in the fourth quarter. Kaepernick was able to move his team from its own 22 to the Seattle 18-yard line before his pass attempt to Crabtree in the back-right corner of the end zone was tipped by Sherman and intercepted by Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith to seal the outcome. After the game, Sherman came over and slapped Crabtree on his rear and stuck his hand out, but the Niners wide receiver responded by smacking Sherman in the helmet. Sherman wasnt done as he exploded into a TV camera during an interview on the field that he was the best cornerback in the game while labeling Crabtree a sorry receiver. Revenge wasnt in the cards for either Kaepernick or Crabtree on Turkey Day. I was laughing the whole time, the boastful Sherman said. I told their sideline if they threw it my way I would end the game. With Sherman shutting down one side of the football field Kaepernick threw for only 121 yards on 16-of-29 passing as the 49ers had their three-game win streak come to an end and more importantly fell behind Seattle in the ultra- tough NFC West with only four games to play. They are a good defense, they play fast, they play physical, Kaepernick said. We just have to be able to make plays. But are they capable of making plays against Sherman and Co.? Somebody said they threw at (Sherman) five times and he had two picks, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. He was all over it. Im really fired up for him because theres been a lot of scrutiny (on Sherman) and a lot of people watching what he was going to do in this game. He went out and played really good fundamental football, as he has all season. And thats no anomaly. Kaepernick has started five games against the Seahawks and amassed a 1-4 record while completing just 77-of-146 passes for 820 yards with three touchdowns and nine interceptions. Against teams who dont have Sherman suiting up, Kaepernick has thrown 50 touchdowns versus only 15 interceptions. If your quarterback doesnt play well, its going to be hard for you to win games, Kaepernick said. Sherman also left plenty of darts for Crabtree, purposefully ignoring the Niners best receiver while handing out accolades to his complementary pieces. I have respect for their receivers, Sherman said. Stevie (Johnson) is very talented. Anquan (Boldin) has been a terror in this league for a while. Brandon Lloyd as well. Obviously, you guys know Im minus one. After taking a 10-month respite before Thursdays game, the rivalry will renew much more suddenly as the two teams are scheduled to meet again in Seattle on Dec. 14 in footballs loudest environment. And Kaepernick knows what needs to be done to stop the whispers -- win in Seattle, something only two teams have been able to do since Wilson took over the Seahawks in 2012. We have to win out in order to have a shot to get into the playoffs. And exorcise the demon that is Richard Sherman. Nike Air Max 90 Premium Tape .

We had a very offensive team today and Sanchez is confident. We can be direct with him, you can run at people a bit more, so there is a good combination offensively. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

The Colts will be on the clock tonight and while theres normally suspense about who will be the first player picked, Colts general manager Ryan Grigson removed all doubt on Tuesday when he announced that they will be selecting Luck from Stanford University. "We didnt the see the point in prolonging what the world already knows," Grigson told reporters Tuesday after a voluntary mini-camp workout. "Its about Andrew and we wanted to do the right thing by him." Luck has been the consensus number one rated selection for the entire NFL season and was also rated number one in both TSN.cas final Mock Draft and TSN.cas fan mock draft.

"t;We understand it was a heavy price but when you bought your home you probably wanted to pay a little less too," said Allen after completing the deal with the Rams. Doug Flutie Jersey. As predictable as the draft is in the first two slots, is as open as it gets beyond the blue chip quarterbacks. Depending on team needs, Matt Kalil an offensive lineman from USC, Trent Richardson a running back from Alabama or Morris Claiborne a corner from LSU could be taken.  While conventional wisdom would say that scooping up a left tackle is the next most important asset outside of a quarterback, Schultz says that does not always have to be the case. "My most important positions will always be guys that play the most one on ones.  A left tackle will often be one on one with the best defensive ends in the NFL, who are some pretty phenomenal athletes in their own rights.  However, If you can find a cover guy and put him out there to take away one of the best deep threat athletes on an oppositions offence youve taken a big step towards having a serious aggressive defence.  One on one guys would always be my early draft picks." The career span of a top running back in the league also comes into play when deciding which player to use a high selection on and Schultz believes that there is a lot of risk in making that move. "If you have a great running back he has the ability to make people miss, run over people, block and catch the football," said Schultz.  "That gives you a foundational player but quite often in the NFL you have more than one running back and you platoon them and have different types of styles.  Also their life span is shorter than any other position in football because they get hit from every possible angle.  We see many running backs that have entered the NFL and they have a very short burst and short career." Outside of the first round its also important that teams make good use of the rest of the picks they have available to them. "If you can get three starters in every draft within three or four years, youre going to have a dominant team," said Schultz.Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

AUBURN, Ala. http://www.therangersfanshop.com/Customized/ . -- Aaron Murray and the Georgia Bulldogs could only watch as their fabulous comeback fell apart with one painfully unpredictable play. Ricardo Louis scored on a deflected 73-yard pass from Nick Marshall on fourth and 18 with 25 seconds left to give No. 7 Auburn a 43-38 victory over the 25th-ranked Bulldogs on Saturday night. "Thats a freak play," Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray said. "Its like a nightmare. You try to wake up, and we are celebrating victory. Its tough. This is going to be a tough one to get over." The Tigers (10-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) had blown a 27-7 lead but pulled out one more huge play to continue the biggest turnaround in major college football. From 3-9 last year, they can win the SEC West with a victory in two weeks against No. 1 Alabama. Marshall heaved the ball downfield with two defenders around Louis. It bounced off safety Josh Harvey-Clemons hand and Louis reached out his left hand to corral it. Marshall said he stiff armed a defender before letting the ball fly. "I couldnt believe it," Louis said. "It just landed right into my hands. I saw it once it got over my shoulder. It got tipped, I lost track of it ... but when I looked over my shoulders, it was right there." Murray, who had engineered the comeback with three fourth-quarter touchdowns, could only stare helplessly from the bench. A win could have kept the Bulldogs alive in the SEC East. "We played a great team playing great in their house," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "It looked kind of bleak there for a minute and the boys just started fighting. We got ourselves in position to take the lead, obviously late in the game. We gave them a fourth and 18 and thats almost as good as it gets." Murray led Georgia (6-4, 4-3) all the way to Auburns 20 but his final two passes fell incomplete as time ran out. Dee Ford hit him on the last pass as Murray ran toward the line before trying to throw. Richt said he couldnt remember being on the sidelines for a similar loss since his Florida State days. "When you lose, you tend to think about the things you should have done," he said. "When you win, you just think about how great it is. "Lets face it, as good as Auburn is and has been playing, theyve got all the momentum going." Some Auburn players climbed into the stands to celebrate with students, and most fans stayed put to celebrate the victory. It only came after Murray gave the Tigers a big scare. He had plowed into Ryan Smith at the goal line for a 5-yard touchdown with 1:49 left. Auburn challenged the final TD, but replay officials upheld the call on the field. That left the Tigers starting at their own 22 with 1:45 left. They managed one first down but Jordan Jenkins sacked Marshall to set up fourth and 18. Marshall then produced the biggest play of his career against the Bulldogs, where he played as a freshman defensive back. He was dismissed from the team in February 2012 for violating team rules and returned to the SEC after a season in junior college. He finished 15-of-26 passing for 229 yards after attempting only 15 passes combined in the past two games thanks to a steamrolling running game. Marshall also ran 19 times for 89 yards. He also threw a game-winning TD pass with 10 seconds left against Mississippi State, but there was much more on the line this time. The 2010 national champions are potential contenders again. "They find a way to win," said Gus Malzahn, Auburns first-year coach. "This team has the it factor. Thats just the bottom line." He had simple plans for celebration. "This is definitely a Waffle House night," Malzahn said. The Tigers deserve something for pulling this one out against Murray. The prolific Georgia passer completed 33 of 49 passes for 415 yards and two touchdowns in the final 9:35, with an earlier interception. Murray also ran for two scores and had 160 yards passing in the fourth quarter. Todd Gurley ran 15 times for 79 yards and a touchdown and caught 10 passes for 77 yards. Auburn gained 566 yards, Georgia 532. The Tigers ran for 323 yards against a defence that came in giving up 126 yards a game on the ground, 20th nationally. They had lost the last two meetings in the Deep Souths oldest rivalry by 38 points apiece. Now, the Tigers hold a razor-thin 55-54-8 edge. Auburn rode that punishing running game and Georgia mistakes to a 27-10 halftime lead, at one point outgaining the Bulldogs 170-4 before the comeback began. "It was just a whale of a game, I guess," Richt said. http://www.therangersfanshop.com/Mike-Gartner-Jersey/ . Its the fourth meeting of the season between these teams with each game being decided by a single goal.http://www.therangersfanshop.com/Mark-Messier-Jersey/ . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short.NEW YORK -- Before Phil Jackson can begin reshaping their future, the New York Knicks are trying to make something of this season. Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. had 20, and the Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 115-94 on Saturday, giving them a season-high six straight victories as they prepare to welcome Jackson back to the franchise. "Weve got to really focus in on whats the task at hand, and thats still trying to make this push and not even looking forward to next season at this point," Anthony said. Amare Stoudemire and J.R. Smith each scored 15 for the Knicks, who easily ended their daytime woes by pounding the team with the NBAs worst record. New York began the day 3 1/2 games behind Atlanta for the final post-season spot in the Eastern Conference. But the playoff push has taken a backseat to the news that Jackson was coming in to run the Knicks front office -- except in the locker room. "I think our focus is solely on what we have to accomplish to make the playoffs, to be honest," centre Tyson Chandler said. "I know its a lot going on, but as an athlete, you dont pay too much attention to it, because its out of your control, anyway." The Knicks will introduce the 11-time champion as a coach at a press conference Tuesday morning. Jackson will find a team playing its best basketball of a disappointing season. "Better late than never," Stoudemire said. The Knicks shot 55 per cent, led by as much as 25 points and have won six in a row by double digits for the first time since November 1969, according to information provided to the Knicks by Elias. "The easiest thing to do is to start talking about next year at this point in time right now, but the guys on the team seem pretty confident about just staying focused right now, winning basketball games and try to make this push for the playoffs," Anthony said. Nate Wolters scored 15 for the Bucks, who lost their third straight. Brandon Knight and Ramon Sessions each added 14. The Knicks had lost all seven games that began before 3:30 p.m., six by double digits. Things were so bad earlier this season that coach Mike Woodson even had the players stay overnight in a hotel the night before a home game. http://www.therangersfanshop.com/Oscar-Lindberg-Jersey/. But with unusually high energy in the arena for a noon tip, whether because of the winning streak or the Jackson news, the Knicks were sharp from the start. New York made 55 per cent of its shots in a 30-point first quarter, then scored 30 more in the second. The Knicks even got a banked-in 3-pointer from the corner by Iman Shumpert, shortly after Milwaukees Ersan Ilyasova missed a wide-open layup. "I thought we had no real defensive presence," Bucks coach Larry Drew said. The Knicks led 88-66 after three. They have feasted on a weak portion of their schedule to hang around in the playoff race, though things turn tougher with a visit from Indiana on Wednesday. Woodson continues to stress that the Knicks can still make something of this season, though the focus on Jackson has turned much of the attention to the teams future. "Its basketball. Teams, they try to reshape, they go through changes and this is no different," Woodson said before the game. "Youre bringing a great basketball mind into your organization and eventually itll be reshaped. So how and who and when, only time will tell." Jackson played for a pair of title-winning teams in New York, including the 1973 squad whose 40th anniversary the Knicks celebrated last season. The drought seems certain to extend at least another year, even if the Knicks can win enough to get into the post-season. They were helped Saturday with the return of starters Chandler, who missed two games for family reasons, and Stoudemire, who sat out the last one to rest. Shumpert finished with 14 points. "We really feel like were going to get that spot," Chandler said. "If we take care of our business, we do what were supposed to do, we feel like weve got a great shot." Notes: The Knicks have won the last five meetings at Madison Square Garden and took a 98-97 overall lead in the all-time series. ... Knight had scored 20 or more in the previous four games. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

ATLANTA -- Al Horford, the Atlanta Hawks leading scorer and rebounder, is out indefinitely with a torn right pectoral muscle. Zapatillas Nike Air Max 90 Hombre . Horford left Thursday nights 127-125 double-overtime win at Cleveland in the first overtime with the injury and did not return. The Hawks say an MRI and examination on Friday by Dr. Michael Bernot in Atlanta revealed the complete tear of the muscle. Hawks general manager Danny Ferry said the team will complete its "due diligence" to determine the next step for Horford. Horford leads the team with 18.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.

The deal announced Sunday includes a team option for for 2019 that if exercised would make the new money $62.5 million over five seasons. "It shows the level of confidence, belief and trust, and the type of player and person he is," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "Were excited to know that hes going to be a part of this team going forward. Were a better team with Gardy on it, thats the bottom line. This is a good day for him, and we believe it makes the future for us better." Gardner agreed last month to a $5.6 million, one-year contract and would have been eligible for free agency after the 2014 season. The new deal adds a $2 million signing bonus payable next January and salaries of $12 million in 2015, $13 million in 2016, $12 million in 2017 and $11 million in 2018. The Yankees have a $12.5 million option for 2019 with a $2 million buyout. Gardner would receive an additional $1 million payment if hes traded, a provision he can earn only once. "Free agency is something that, it kind of intrigued me, but it also kind of scared me," Gardner said. "Ive never been anywhere else. I love it here. I love putting on the pinstripes everyday." Cashman said talks about the contract started at the winter meetings in December. The Yankees are moving Gardner to left field this year after signing free agent centre fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to a $153 million, seven-year contract in December. Gardner did have questions in his mind about his Yankees future after the Ellsbury acquisition. "When they signed Jaacoby, your name gets thrown out in the trade rumours and all that," Gardner said. Nike Air Max 90 Negras Mujer. "Its kind of annoying, really. I didnt want to get traded. I dont want to go anywhere else, and I let them know that." The 30-year-old Gardner hit .273 last year with eight home runs, 52 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. "I like what he brings," Cashman said. "The speed dynamic, the defence, and I think the offence is there as well." Also, the Yankees agreed to a minor league contract with injured closer Andrew Bailey, who was with Boston last year and is coming back from right shoulder surgery last July. Cashman said the right-hander might be able to join the team in August or September. "When he is healthy, hes an exceptional reliever," Cashman said. "Hes coming off of a shoulder surgery, so were taking a flier. A low risk. If we can get a reward out of it, great. If not, its one of those nothing ventured, nothing gained." NOTES: Yankees manager Joe Girardi attended a meeting with MLB officials Joe Torre and Tony La Russa Saturday on topics including instant replay. Girardi said the Yankees first instant replay test game will be March 6 against Philadelphia in Clearwater. "It opens up us to more to have to answer for, but I think it gives our game the opportunity to have more things decided on the field, which I think is a good thing," Girardi said. The Yankees plan to work on replay situations throughout spring training even if its not a test game. "Well probably practice with walkie talkies," Girardi said. ...

SAKHIR, Bahrain -- Mercedes locked out the front row for the Bahrain Grand Prix as Nico Rosberg claimed pole position on Saturday, qualifying ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton. Junior Seau Chargers Jersey . Rosbergs time of 1 minute, 33.185 seconds at the Bahrain International Circuit was a quarter of a second faster than Hamilton, who had to abandon his final flying lap after running wide at the first corner. It was Mercedes third straight pole to start the Formula One season but the first for Rosberg, who equaled his father Keke with five career poles. Rosberg leads the championship on 43 points, 18 ahead of Hamilton. "It has just worked well through the weekend, finding my way, making progress and getting through some issues," Rosberg said. "I have good memories of this track, winning the GP2 championship and starting my first race in F1. I enjoy coming here and again today its suited me." Rosberg and Hamilton have a win each from the opening two races of the season and Mercedes also dominated the three practice sessions leading into qualifying, both in day and night conditions, with Sundays race to be held at night for the first time. The only surprise was Rosberg taking pole ahead of Hamilton, who usually thrives in the one-lap format. "I locked up in the last lap but generally I am happy for the team," Hamilton said. "Nico did a great job and naturally Im happy my teammate is there and not someone else." Defending four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel did not even make the final session of qualifying and will start from 10th on the grid -- promoted one spot as his Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who qualified third, gets a 10-place grid penalty from the previous race in Malaysia. Vettel paid the price for a session-ending spin in pre-qualifying practice which prevented him from getting valuable data on how to set up the car on the soft-tire, low-fuel setting. He also complained of a downshifting problem. "The final run for some reason was a bit more difficult, the rears were locking up," Vettel said. "We had been playing around with it for quite a while, we are still not where we want to be but I dont want to blame it on that. There was a little bit more in the car which I couldnt get to, so I am not happy with today." Williams driver Valtteri Bottas and Force Indias Sergio Perez qualified fourth and fifth respectively and, with the one-place promotion, both equaled their best career starting positions. Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen qualified sixth, four places ahead of Fernando Alonso, to take the qualifying honours over his teammate for the first time this season in what is expected to a year-long fight between the two former world champions. Alonso said the car was down on power in the final part of qualifying, though he felt the teams starting grid positions of fifth and ninth were "more or less what we expected to be honest." "Q2 we were down a little bit and Q3 we lost more," Alonso said. "Still, we didnt miss out on the possibility of pole position because we are not in that kind of position. Its just a couple of places that hopefully tomorrow we can recover." McLarens Jenson Button, contesting his 250th grand prix, qualified in seventh and his teammate Kevin Magnussen was ninth, separated by Felipe Massa of Williams. Aside from Vettels early elimination, the main surprise of Q2 was Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg qualifying in 12th, having been fastest of all drivers in Q1 and showing strong pace during the practice sessions. Saubers Adrian Sutil was hit with a five-place grid penalty for impeding Lotus Romain Grosjean in the first session of qualifying, sending him to the very back of the grid. Dan Fouts Green Jersey .

MONTREAL -- Power puncher Adonis Stevenson says hes ready to take on any super-middleweight in the world. The Longueil, Que., contender backed Noe Gonzalez of Uruguay into a corner and finished him with a flurry of shots 1:40 into the second round of their scheduled 12 round bout on Friday night to take a step closer to his goal of fighting for a world title. It was a second straight quick and impressive win since Stevenson (18-1) began working with Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward, following his first round KO in February of American Jesus Gonzales. "I saw him drop his hands and I got him with my left hook," the southpaw Stevenson said. "When I saw he was hurt, I got him into a corner and finished him off." "I think he fought a perfect fight," Steward added. "His opponent is a good puncher and Adonis systematically broke him down. He didnt just knock him out with punching power." Stevenson defended his minor NABA, NABO and IBF Intercontinental belts and picked up the WBC Silver belt from Gonzalez (28-2), who had won his previous 14 fights, the last 13 by knockout. Opportunities for major fights now look to be opening up for Stevenson, who is ranked second by the IBF and should take that same ranking from Gonzalez in the WBC as well. Promoter Yvon Michel said he will wait until the IBF champion, Lucian Bute of Montreal, defends his title against Carl Froch on May 26 in England. Stevenson may be called upon to fight for the right to become mandatory challenger for that title. WBC champ Andre Ward has indicated he wont fight No. 1 contender Anthony Dirrell, so Stevenson may get to fight Dirrell for the top ranking. Or, if Ward vacates the title, it may set up a Stevenson-Dirrell matchup for the WBC belt. Stevenson knows which one he wants. "Id love to fight Bute in Montreal," he said with a wide grin. "That would be a beautiful fight." Steward feels Stevenson is ready to beat any champion in the 168-pound division and that boxing would be better for it. He said fans love knockouts, and that technical fighters like Ward and Bute were "why we keep losing people to MMA." "Knockouts -- thats what made Mike Tyson so popular," he said. "These type of fights (knockouts) are whats going to raise the sport." The 34-year-old Stevenson took the first round with a steady jab, but a minute into the second, he landed a left hook that rocked Gonzalez. He then got his 32-year-old opponent into a corner and fired punch aafter punch. Craig Mager Jersey. Gonzalez looked about to go down and wasnt fighting back when referee Michael Griffin moved in to stop the slaughter. "I got him with the left hook and I came in like a snake to finish him off," Stevenson said. Some in the crowd of 2,853 in an end-section of the Bell Centre booed, feeling it was stopped to soon. Griffin heard the boos, but felt he got it right. "I just thought it was time," he sad. "I dont now if it was early or not, but he had been hurt three or four times already. "There were a lot of complaints, but none from him. It was evident he was not getting out of that corner." The fight, which aired on ESPN2, was Stevensons first major U.S. television exposure. "He finished him with all well-placed punches; short, accurate punches," Steward said. "I think all the fighers at 168 pounds will have to take notice, not only that hes knocking people out, but with the way hes doing it. "Hes a big threat to any super-middleweight in the world and, the way hes looking, I think hed beat any super-middleweight in the world, including Lucian Bute." In the co-feature, Eleider Alvarez (8-0), a Colombian fighting out of Montreal, showed why he is considered a top light heavyweight prospect as he used his quick hands and stiff jab to dominate eight rounds against Rayco Saunders (22-16-2), who is a better fighter than his record indicates. A lively bout saw lightweight Baha Laham (8-0-1) of Montreal fight to an eight-round draw with Leonus Marie Francoise (8-6-1) of France. Heavyweight Oscar Rivas (10-0) of Montreal won all six listless rounds against a late replacement, portly 39-year-old Stephane (Brutus) Tessier (3-28-1) of St. Philippe, Que. Rivas was scheduled to fight Kendrick (The Apostle) Releford (22-16-2), but the Fort Worth, Tex., native was ruled out after turning in a suspicious blood test. Michel refused to divulge what was found in the test, but said it was not an official positive result. Tessier has not won a match since he beat Patrick Cote on Oct. 1, 2005, when he was a reasonable 3-2. His record includes a loss to Alexander Povetkin, now the WBA heavyweight champion. Two more lopsided bouts saw light heavyweight Schiller Hippolyte (3-0) knock down defenceless Martin Desjardins (7-22-5) twice for a unanimous four-round decision in a battle of locals, and heavyweight Eric Barrack (7-0) of St. Come, Que. stop Sandy Pembroke (2-5) of Kelowna, B.C., in the second round of a six-rounder. Cheap JerseysWholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

Today was a bit shaky.

Simoni Lawrence is returning to Hamilton. Blank England Jersey . The Tiger-Cats announced on Friday the linebacker has signed a new contract with the team through the 2016 season. Lawrence was acquired by the Tiger-Cats in a trade with the Edmonton Eskimos during the 2013 season. He recorded 52 tackles, along with three interceptions and a sack in 12 games with the Ti-Cats.Lawrence was signed by the Minnesota Vikings in February, but was cut by the team in March. "Simoni is a very athletic linebacker who has demonstrated the ability to make big plays at crucial times during games. He plays the game with passion and his enthusiasm is contagious. Were really excited that hes back," said General Manager and Head Coach Kent Austin said in a press release. Kieran Gibbs England Jersey . The top-seeded Wozniacki claimed a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Germanys Julia Goerges, while the third-seeded Williams earned a 6-2, 6-4 triumph over Russian veteran Elena Vesnina. Wozniacki had lost three of her previous four matches against Goerges, but four breaks of serve allowed the former world No. Charles Barkley Jersey . It sure looked as if it was going to be a long night for the Houston Rockets. Then everything changed in the third quarter.ORLANDO, Fla. -- Matt Every is finally a winner on the PGA Tour, and hes still not sure how it happened. He was nine shots behind Masters champion Adam Scott going into the weekend at Bay Hill. He was still four back of the Australian he referred to as a "stud" going into the final round Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Every figured even par over the last three holes would do the trick. He made two bogeys. Even after a hearty handshake from the tournament host and a shiny trophy an arms length away from, Every summed up this wild day with just the right words. "I ... I ... I cant believe I won," he said. "I just ... I really cant." The tee shot that he feared might be out-of-bounds on No. 9 somehow bounced along a cart path and led to an unlikely birdie. He surged to a three-shot lead when Scotts touch with the putter vanished. Even with two bogeys on the last three holes -- he missed a 4-foot par putt on the 18th -- Every still closed with a 2-under 70. The last bogey made him sweat out the finish. Keegan Bradley, who birdied the 16th and 17th holes, had a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th that would have forced a playoff. It was similar to the putt Tiger Woods has made so often to win at Bay Hill. Bradleys putt stayed left of the hole, and he finished one shot behind. Every finished at 13-under 275, one shot ahead of Bradley, who needed two late birdies for a 72. Scott was third. David Hearn (74) of Brantford, Ont., finished in a tie for 52nd at 1-over par. In his 92nd start as a pro on the PGA Tour, Every finally won at just the right time and just the right place. The 30-year-old who grew up 90 minutes away in Daytona Beach used to come to Bay Hill as a kid to watch the tournament. And he beat the Masters champion to earn his own spot in the Masters next month. "Being close to winning out here, it can be kind of discouraging because if you dont win, you just wonder if its ever going to happen," Every said. "And sometimes you tell yourself, Well, maybe its meant to be somewhere else, somewhere better. I dont see how it could get much better than this -- being so close to where I grew up and all the fans out there that were cheering me on. It was awesome." It was a nightmare for Scott. He shattered the Bay Hill record by taking a seven-shot lead after 36 holes and still led by three shots over Bradley going into Sunday. His putting stroke betrayed him. Scott made only five bogeys over 54 holes. He made five on Sunday alone. And he didnt make a birdie over the last 14 holes for a 76. "t;Im annoyed that I didnt do better today," Scott said. Wayne Rooney England Jersey. "Sometimes youve got to be hard on yourself. Sometimes you dont. And I think I was getting into a really good spot, and an opportunity here to run away with an event and really take a lot of confidence. Im taking confidence anyway, from just some good play. But some opportunities youve got to take." Cocky by nature, Every choked back tears when he realized he had won. "Its hard," he said, stopping to compose himself. "Its tough, man. You just never know if its going to happen. You get there so many times. Its nice to get it done." He made it hard on himself. Every had a three-shot lead on the par-5 16th hole -- the easiest at Bay Hill -- when he drove into the woods, hit a tree trying to pitch out, laid up short of the water to play it safe and had to grind out a bogey. Scott, playing in the final group behind him, drilled 6-iron to 20 feet for an eagle putt that would have tied him for the lead. He three-putted for par. It was the second time in six tournaments that Scott lost a big lead on the last day. He had a four-shot advantage in the Australian Open and lost on the final hole to Rory McIlroy. This time, he didnt even have a realistic chance playing the 18th. "I really think the putting has let me down on both of those occasions," Scott said. "Today was a bit shaky. But this course was asking a lot of everyone today, and my short game just wasnt there. So that needs to be tightened up and probably shows that I need to do a bit more work on it to hold up under the pressure." Scott finished alone in third. He had to win Bay Hill to reach No. 1 in the world ranking when he arrived at Augusta National. Now, the No. 1 spot that Woods has held for the last year will be up for grabs at the Masters among Woods, Scott and Henrik Stenson, who tied for fifth at Bay Hill. Until Sunday, about the only time Every made news on the PGA Tour was when he was arrested and jailed on a misdemeanour drug possession charge at the 2010 John Deere Classic after agents were called to a casino hotel because of a strong odour of marijuana coming from the room he was in. Every paid the price with a three-month suspension that kept him from retaining his PGA Tour card. He once said earning his card back was his greatest achievement, though that sure takes a seat back to his win at Bay Hill. "Its just cool that I can say that I won on the PGA Tour," Every said. "But I always felt like my game was plenty good enough to win out here." Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
