For all hes gone through in the last 10 or 12 days,

ORLANDO, Fla. http://www.francenationalshop.com/Yohan-Cabaye-France-Jersey/ . -- The Orlando Magic have made no secret that the future of their franchise will depend on how well they can develop their young players. Rookie Victor Oladipo is a key cog in that group and provided a glimpse of what team officials hope that future will look like. Arron Afflalo scored 32 points and Oladipo had 30 points, a career-high 14 assists and nine rebounds as the Magic rallied to beat the New York Knicks 129-121 in double overtime on Friday night. The Magic trailed by as many as 14 points, but got 25 points and 10 assists from Oladipo after halftime to stave off the Knicks. Tobias Harris added 22 points. "Every game I control one thing -- my energy that I bring to both ends of the floor," Oladipo said. "Im just trying to do that every game, whether its a good game or a bad game." Orlando snapped a three-game losing streak in its first game following the departure of Glen Davis, who had the remainder of his contract bought out earlier in the day. Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said he thought Oladipo played a complete game. The rookie logged a team-high 49 minutes. "He got what he wanted to on both ends of the floor," Vaughn said. "On the offensive end, in a lot of different places we kind of let him go and it was his decision to make." Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 44 points, but only 14 came after the third quarter. The Knicks loss ended their eight-game win streak over the Magic. It was also the latest head-scratching loss for a New York team that has last four of its last five and is yet to post back-to-back wins this month. "Every game right now is important," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "They made the run at the start of the fourth and we couldnt get it back. Its a tough loss." Afflalo found Oladipo for a layup to put the Magic in front 117-113 in the second overtime. But Afflalo injured his right ankle in the process by stepping on Raymond Feltons foot and didnt return. He will be evaluated before the teams upcoming four-game road trip. Orlando was dealt another blow on the Knicks next possession when centre Nik Vucevic was whistled for his sixth foul. Anthony then hit a pair of free-throws to get New York back within a basket. Oladipo answered, getting fouled when he fought past Tim Hardaway Jr. for a layup. He completed the three-point play to push the lead back to 120-115. The Knicks got it back to a point before another three-point play by Oladipo made it 125-121 with 30.7 seconds left. Felton had a 3-pointer rattle out on the other end, forcing the Knicks to foul and Orlando sealed the win at the free throw line. "It is just another game that I feel that we gave away," Anthony said. "We were up and had a comfortable lead. They fought back and never quit." Felton hit back-to-back jumpers to put New York up 113-111 with less than three minutes to play in the first overtime. Oladipo quickly countered on the other end with a driving layup before Felton sprinted ahead and found Tyson Chandler for a reverse slam. But the ball bounced off Chandlers head and popped up and out of the basket. Chandler was called for offensive interference and the basket was waved off. The Magic got the ball, but Afflalos pass was knocked away by Chandler and prompting a Knicks timeout with 41.6 remaining. Anthony briefly got open in the lane, but could only get off a leaning 16-footer that hit the rim and was rebounded by the Magic, who called their own timeout with 8 seconds left. Orlando got up several shots at the rim, but Vucevics final tip attempt fell short. The Knicks led by as many as 14 in the third quarter before the Magic trimmed it to 86-83 in the opening minutes of the fourth. Afflalo sent it to overtime when he hit a step-back jumper with 42.9 seconds left to tie it 106-all. As solid as his performance was, Oladipo said hes not satisfied. "Theres so much room for improvement. I can get so much better," he said. "I really feel like I havent scratched the surface of how good Im going to be. I honestly believe that." NOTES: The Magic improved to 1-4 in overtime games this season. ... J.R. Smith made his 12th start of the season in place of injured swingman Iman Shumpert, who is expected to miss about two weeks with a sprained ligament in his left knee. ... Former Magic player Penny Hardaway was honoured in a ceremony as part of the teams ongoing 25th anniversary season celebration. http://www.francenationalshop.com/ . Theres just no way. Duncan is having too much fun with his San Antonio Spurs coaches and teammates, and hes playing too well to call it quits now.

Erik Cole netted a natural hat trick in the first period and the Canadiens coasted to a 5-1 win over a struggling Ottawa club that is just 1-3-2 over its last six games. Ottawa has lost all three of its games during its current losing streak in regulation and the seventh-seeded Sens are just two points in front of Washington and Buffalo in the East standings. The Sabres are in action against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, while the Capitals are idle. The Winnipeg Jets are six points back of the Senators but just four points out of a playoff spot as they face the Predators in Nashville tonight. The Senators are also three points behind Boston for first place in the Northeast Division. The Bruins, who hold two games in hand over Ottawa, are playing tonight in Los Angeles. Jason Spezza scored the only goal on Friday for the Senators. Spezza returned after missing one tilt with flu-like symptoms to play in his 600th career NHL game. Craig Anderson gave up three goals on 23 shots and Ben Bishop surrendered two tallies on just nine shots in defeat. Anderson was playing for the first time after missing 12 games due to a laceration on his right hand. Its uncertain if Anderson, who was pulled after 45 minutes on Friday, will get the start on consecutive nights, Ottawa, which is 19-15-4 as the host this year, is home for just one game before embarking on a three-game road trip. The Penguins will try to add yet another victory to an impressive run that has lasted more than a month. No team has been hotter than the Penguins over the last month, as Pittsburgh has compiled a 13-0-1 record in its last 14 games, a stretch that began with a 2-0 win over the New York Rangers on Feb. 21. The hot streak has helped put the Penguins in position to win the Atlantic Division, where they are trailing the Rangers by one point for first place in both the division and Eastern Conference standings. New York, which has played one more game (74) than the Pens, is also in action tonight in Toronto. After having an 11-game winning streak halted in Philadelphia on Sunday, the Penguins scored a total of 13 goals in consecutive home victories over Winnipeg and Nashville. The most recent triumph came in Thursdays 5-1 pasting of the Predators and that victory was enough to clinch Pittsburgh a sixth straight postseason berth. Evgeni Malkin scored two goals in Thursdays victory, giving him seven goals and seven assists during a six-game point streak. With 95 points, Malkin holds a 10-point lead over Philadelphias Claude Giroux for the NHL scoring lead. Also, his 45 goals are second this season only to the 50 markers scored by Tampa Bays Steven Stamkos. Pascal Dupuis, Matt Cooke and Chris Kunitz also scored on Thursday for the Penguins, who are four points ahead of Philadelphia for the fourth seed in the East. James Neal had four assists one game after picking up his second career hat trick in an 8-4 rout of Winnipeg on Tuesday. Sidney Crosby was held without a point for just the second time in five games since returning from head and neck injuries that kept him sidelined for over three months. The only bad news to came out of Thursdays win for the Penguins was that defenseman Matt Niskanen suffered an upper-body injury in the game. Niskanen, who has four goals and 17 assists in 72 games this season, did not travel with the team to Ottawa. Beginning with tonights test, the Pens are playing three of their next five on the road. Pittsburgh is 20-13-4 as the guest this season. This evenings test marks the final scheduled meeting between the Sens and Pens this season. Ottawa has won two straight after losing the season series opener in Pittsburgh on Nov. 25. The Senators have taken three of their last four home games against the Pens. Wild at Sabres The surging Buffalo Sabres will try to take hold of the Eastern Conferences eighth seed when they host the Minnesota Wild tonight at First Niagara Center. The Sabres enter todays action tied with idle Washington for the Easts eighth and final postseason berth. Buffalo was one point behind the Capitals heading into Friday, but the Sabres drew even thanks to last nights win against the New York Rangers and an overtime loss by Washington against Winnipeg. After tonights game, Buffalos next tilt will be Tuesdays showdown with the Capitals in D.C. Buffalo posted a 4-1 win against the Rangers on Friday at Madison Square Garden. Drew Stafford had two goals and an assist to help the Sabres win their third straight game and improve to 5-0-2 over their last seven trips to the ice. "Were not worried about the other teams around us," Stafford said after the important win. "We know if we play well, take care of our business and win the games, well be sitting just fine." Tyler Ennis added a goal and two assists for the Sabres, while Travis Turnbull recorded his first NHL goal in his second career game. Ryan Miller made 26 saves for Buffalo, improving to 6-0-2 over his last eight starts. Buffalo forwards Nathan Gerbe and Patrick Kaleta missed the game with upper- body injuries and are questionable for tonight. The Sabres are 19-11-8 as the host this season and have gone 6-0-1 over their last seven tests in western New York. The Wild will aim for their first three-game winning streak in over three months when they take the ice tonight. Since a season-high, seven-game winning streak ended on Dec. 13, Minnesota has posted consecutive victories on just three occasions and the latest instance camee with back-to-back wins over Vancouver and Calgary. http://www.francenationalshop.com/Olivier-Giroud-France-Jersey/. Minnesota, which has been all but mathematically eliminated from the Western Conference playoff race, posted a 2-0 win over the Canucks on Monday and then completed a five-game homestand with Thursdays 3-2 shootout victory over the Calgary Flames. Devin Setoguchi scored in the fourth round of the shootout to lift the Wild to their recent win over the playoff-hopeful Flames, who blew a two-goal lead in Thursdays contest. The Wild scored two unanswered goals in regulation after falling behind 2-0, tying the game when Darroll Powe knocked the puck just over the goal line with 7:37 remaining in the third period. Josh Harding made three saves in the shootout -- the other shot was wide -- and Setoguchi scored with a snap shot into the top left corner of the net to beat Miikka Kiprusoff. Harding then denied Blake Comeau at the other end to seal the victory for the Wild. Dany Heatley had a power-play goal for the Wild, who went 2-3 on their five- game homestand, and Harding made 27 saves. Minnesota captain Mikko Koivu returned from a 15-game absence due to a shoulder injury and played 22 minutes. Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom was also back in uniform on Thursday after not being available for the previous seven games with a groin injury. Backstrom, who is 17-17-6 this season, could get his first since March 1 this evening. Jared Spurgeon will miss tonights test after suffering a concussion against Calgary and fellow Wild forward Matt Kassian is expected to sit out a second straight game with a strained groin. Minnesota, which will visit Washington on Sunday to complete a brief two-game trip, is just 14-17-6 as the road club this season. Tonights test marks the only meeting this season between Buffalo and the Wild. The Sabres posted a 3-2 overtime win last year in Minnesota, giving them two wins in the last three encounters in this series. The Wild have won four straight in Buffalo and the only road loss in this series for Minnesota came back on Nov. 17, 2000. Jets at Predators The Winnipeg Jets will try to build off the momentum of Fridays thrilling comeback win in Washington when they take on the Predators in Nashville tonight. Winnipeg trailed the Capitals by a 3-0 count in the second period before rallying to claim a 4-3 overtime decision. It was an important two points for Winnipeg, which is sitting 10th in the East and is four points behind the Capitals and Buffalo for the conferences last playoff spot. Tim Stapletons tally with 2:23 left in OT capped Fridays comeback win for the Jets. Stapleton beat Michal Neuvirth with a high, quick wrister from the left circle to end the contest. Bryan Little and Ben Maxwell also scored for the Jets, while Ondrej Pavelec needed to make just 20 stops for the win. The Jets outshot the Capitals by a combined 19-2 in the final 22:37 of the contest. "I think it was our belief system. We didnt really waver. I think we recognized there was a lot of hockey to be played," said Winnipeg head coach Claude Noel. The Jets, who are closing a three-game road trip tonight, are just 12-20-4 as the visiting team this season compared to a 23-11-4 home mark. Winnipeg will host its next two games against Ottawa and the New York Rangers before heading back out on a four-game swing. On the injury front for Winnipeg, Eric Fehr has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, while fellow forward Nik Antropov has sat out two in a row with a lower-body issue. Both players are questionable for tonights game. The Predators will try to avoid a fifth loss in six games tonight at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville visited Pittsburgh on Thursday and the Predators fell to 1-3-1 in their last five games after getting dealt a 5-1 setback by the red-hot Penguins. The rout spoiled Alexander Radulovs return to the NHL after he left Nashville for Russias Kontinental Hockey League following the 2007-08 season. Radulov, who caused a stir by ignoring the final year of his entry-level contract with the Predators, officially re-joined the Predators earlier this week to honor the final season of his contract. Radulov, who won two MVPs while playing for Salavat Yulayev in the KHL, is expected to return to the Russian league next season. Radulov cut the lead to 4-1 in the second period on Thursday, scoring his first NHL goal since April 14, 2008, in a playoff game against Detroit. It was his first regular-season goal since he scored two, also against Detroit, on March 20 that year. "For all hes gone through in the last 10 or 12 days, I thought he was fine," Predators coach Barry Trotz said of Radulovs first game back. Nashville netminder Pekka Rinne gave up five goals on 23 shots and is stuck on 39 wins for the season. The Predators, who are 23-9-5 as the host this year, enter todays action in a tie with Chicago for the Western Conferences fifth seed. Detroit is just one point in front of the Preds and Blackhawks in the conference standings. The Red Wings play tonight against visiting Carolina while Chicago is idle before hosting the Predators tomorrow. Nashville has played the last four games without centerman Paul Gaustad, who is dealing with an upper-body issue, but he is expected to return tonight. Fellow forward Colin Wilson has sat out the same stretch with a groin injury and is questionable for tonight. The Predators are facing the Jets for the first time since the franchise relocated last summer from Atlanta, where the club was known as the Thrashers. Nashville has taken three of four and five of seven in this series overall and Atlanta was just 2-5 in seven all-time trips to the Music City. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

The Hockey Concussion Education Project - a collaboration of specialists from Canada and the United States - provided new physical evidence on Tuesday identifying early brain change as a result of concussions and observed that diagnosed concussion incidence was 3-5 times higher than previously reported. Using advanced MRI imaging and analysis on 45 male and female adult CIS hockey players over the course of a season, the study revealed that clinically-diagnosed concussions are resulting in small, multimodal organic changes in the brains of athletes that have suffered them. The HCEP study adds that that a history of concussion may result in alterations of the brains white matter make-up. White matter affects how the brain learns and functions by transmitting signals from one part of the brain to the other. Also, comparisons between male and female athletes in the study showed that while male athletes had more significant Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) MRI findings, female athletes demonstrated a higher incidence of cconcussion. Nike Roshe Run Femme Soldes.   "What are our societal goals - will we foster the development of our young peoples cognitive, social and physical potential in a safe and protected environment - or will we continue to teach and reward a culture of violence and accepted brain injuries as part of the game?," said Dr. Paul Echlin, the lead author of the study. "Are we able to evolve and make significant or even radical changes in the sports themselves based on the scientific evidence of too many serious short and long-term brain injuries?" HCEP - conducted by Harvard Medical School/Brigham and the Womens Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital/Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging/Western University of Canada - has published peer-reviewed scientific findings twice (2010 and 2012) highlighting the high incidence of concussion and the damage inflicted on young hockey players.  For this study, the CIS players were asked to undergo MRIs at the beginning and end of the season. Those who had suffered concussions had MRIs within 72 hours of the brain injury and again at two weeks and at two months.   Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- A few smooth minutes on the field left Andy Dalton in a good mood. http://www.nflbroncosteamprostore.com/Youth-Brandon-Marshall-Elite-Jersey/ . Dalton completed his only pass and led the Bengals to a touchdown in his only drive -- one that took four minutes to finish -- and the Cincinnati Bengals ended the preseason with a 27-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. The third-year quarterback wanted a crisp drive to finish the preseason. He got it. "We did what we wanted to do," Dalton said of the seven-play drive. "We drove down and scored -- had some good runs mixed in there and some conversions on passes. We did what we wanted the first offence to do." Cincinnati (3-1) has a few decisions left before starting the season, none bigger than picking Daltons backup. Josh Johnson followed Dalton for the second straight game and had a solid showing. He led the Bengals to a touchdown and a field goal in three possessions before halftime. Johnson scrambled twice for 38 yards on a touchdown drive that culminated in his 3-yard pass to Marvin Jones, showing his main advantage over John Skelton in the competition for the backup job. Overall, Johnson was 7 of 13 for 67 yards with three sacks. "I feel good," Johnson said. "I feel Ive improved weekly on everything Ive been asked to do and weve been able to get results on the field. Weve been able to put scoring drives together, finish drives. "But you never know. All you can do is put your best foot forward." Skelton, who was behind from the start of the competition to replace Bruce Gradkowski because hed never run a West Coast offence, played the second half and was 6 of 10 for 99 yards with one touchdown drive. The Bengals played most of their starters on offence and defence for one series only. Daltons brief appearance ended in Giovani Bernards 1-yard touchdown run. The Colts (2-2) rested most of their starters, including quarterback Andrew Luck. He and Dalton joked with each other on the field before the game. "One of the goals is to come out as healthy as you can and we did," coach Chuck Pagano said. Matt Hasselbeck started for Indianapolis and led a 12-play drive against most of the Bengals starters. Adam Vinatieri kicked a 43-yard field goal to complete it. Hasselbeck played two series and went 5 of 9 for 49 yards. Vinatieri also was wide left on a 52-yard attempt. Indianapolis starting defence hadnt allowed a touchdown the past two games. With the play-it-safe approach on Thursday, the results were less pleasing. "We didnt play very well at all," linebacker Pat Angerer said. "But well play better." The Bengals starters moved the ball easily against a Colts defence of mostly backups during their one series on the field. All-Pro receiver A.J. Green, who missed the first three weeks of camp with a bruised knee, played the series and drew an interference penalty from Josh Gordy in the end zone, setting up Giovani Bernards 1-yard run. Receiver Brandon Tate made more of an impact as a kick returner. Tates 51-yard kickoff return set up the touchdown. Tate also had a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown in the previous preseason game at Dallas. Both teams had reserves get hurt. Colts inside linebacker Kavell Conner and offensive tackle Emmett Cleary were treated for ankle injuries but returned. Receiver David Reed left with a concussion. Cornerback Daxton Swanson pulled a hamstring and didnt return. Bengals linebacker Emmanuel Lamur dislocated his right shoulder in the first quarter and was taken off the field on a cart. Guard Mike Pollak suffered a knee injury, but coach Marvin Lewis said it wasnt serious. http://www.nflbroncosteamprostore.com/Youth-Aqib-Talib-Elite-Jersey/ . Polamalu has spent his entire 11-year career with the Steelers, being named a Pro Bowler eight times, an All-Pro four times, and the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year. Miller is also a career Steeler, being selected by the team in the 2005 NFL Draft. http://www.nflbroncosteamprostore.com/Youth-Dennis-Smith-Elite-Jersey/ . The Kings have gone 6-0-3 over their last nine games despite having been held to three goals or fewer in eight of 10 contests this month. Los Angeles has failed to score more than two goals six times in that span.ST. LOUIS -- Alex Ovechkin took his place in the NHL record book and helped the Washington Capitals keep pace in the playoff race. Ovechkin became the 11th player in NHL history to score 50 more goals in a season five times and added two assists as the Capitals beat the slumping St. Louis Blues 4-1 on Tuesday night. The two points gave the Capitals 85, four behind Columbus for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Both the Blue Jackets and Capitals have three games left. "We talked this morning about all we can do is control our situation," Washington coach Adam Oates said. "Try and focus on tonight, get a win and see what happens tomorrow." The Blues clinched a playoff spot in the Western Conference a while ago, but their hopes of a Presidents Trophy are fading. Maxim Lapierre had the only goal for St. Louis, which has lost a season-high three straight. The Blues have been outscored 12-3 during the losing streak. St. Louis has scored two or fewer goals in nine of its last 11 games. "I thought the first period we were really good," St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said. "When we got down 3-1, we just seemed to lose our energy." Hitchcock said the Blues scoring problems are more than just the top lines not delivering. "I think its across the board," Hitchcock said. "When youre not scoring, you need to shoot, but its more the execution after we got down." Nicklas Backstrom scored twice and Mikhail Grabovski added another goal for the Capitals. Braden Holtby made 28 saves after he started over Jaroslav Halak, who played 40 games and recorded 24 wins for the Blues this season. Holtby also beat the Blues 4-1 on Nov. 17. "We got fortunate in some places, a broken stick on a wide-open shot and a few others where they just missed, but I think that was a credit to us pressuring them on those scoring chances," Holtby said. "Its a game of those llittle things and tonight we did that. http://www.nflbroncosteamprostore.com/Youth-Evan-Mathis-Elite-Jersey/. " Holtby said the Capitals have done what they had to do the last few games. "I think weve done a pretty good job of staying calm and just playing our game the last couple," Holtby said. "Its hard, its a tough thing, but we can only control what we can control now." Ovechkin, who added an assist, beat Ryan Miller with a one-timer from the left circle at 17:54 of the first period for his 50th goal overall and 23rd on the power play, both league highs. It is Ovechkins first 50-goal campaign since 2009-10 when he scored 50. His single-season high is 65 in the 2007-08 season. "It means a lot," Ovechkin said. "Thats a big number, and its going to be there my whole life." After Lapierre tied the game at 2:39 of the second period, Grabovski gave the Capitals the lead for good when he beat Miller with a slap shot from the left circle at 8:52 of the period. Ovechkin then gave Washington some insurance when he broke in down the right wing and fed Backstrom in the slot. Backstrom put it past Miller with 1:10 left in the second period to make it 3-1. "It was a great feed again," Backstrom said. "That was a seam pass there and that defenceman gave me a little room, so you have to take advantage of that." Washington began the third period on a power play and Backstrom put the game out of reach when he scored 16 seconds into the period. NOTES: Ovechkin is tied with Pavel Bure, Phil Esposito, Bobby Hull, Brett Hull and Steve Yzerman with five seasons of 50 or more goals. Mike Bossy and Wayne Gretzky accomplished that nine times, and Marcel Dionne, Guy Lafleur and Mario Lemieux had six such seasons. ... Alexander Steen returned to the Blues lineup after missing the last three games. ... Tuesday marked the first time the Capitals have been in St. Louis since Dec. 1, 2010, when they also beat the Blues 4-1. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale JerseysWholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

Floridas last win came last Saturday in Edmonton, as Tomas Kopecky and Sean Bergenheim scored third-period goals to help the Panthers notch the 4-2 victory at Rexall Place. However, the Panthers are 0-2 since that win and have been outscored by a 12-4 margin in those setbacks. After closing a six-game road trip with a lopsided 8-2 loss in Winnipeg on Tuesday, the Panthers returned home to drop a 4-2 decision in Thursdays clash with Colorado. Florida rallied from deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 to knot the score at 2-2 by the end of 40 minutes, but Colorado scored twice in the third period to earn the victory. Nick Holden scored the go-ahead goal on the power play at 11:03 of the third and Jarome Iginla added an empty-netter for the Avalanche in the final minute. Holden fired a point shot that deflected in off the stick of Panthers forward Scottie Upshall with one second left on a power play. I thought we worked hard, and we played good. I thought we were as good a team as they were, if not a little bit better, said Panthers coach Gerard Gallant. Disappointed to see that power-play goal happen late in the game. Roberto Luongo stopped 25-of-28 shots for Florida, which opened a five-game homestand following a 4-2-0 road trip. Aleksander Barkov and Aaron Ekblad scored the goals for the Panthers. Florida, which is five points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, fell to 9-6-3 as the host. Luongo is expected to start tonight and is 27-12-3 with a 2.29 goals against average inn his career against the Oilers. http://www.airforce1sale.nl/adidas-supercolor/supercolor-pack.html. Floridas No. 1 netminder stopped 31-of-33 shots in last weeks win in Edmonton. Floridas triumph last Saturday at Rexall Place halted a five-game slide in the series and was just the second win for the Panthers in the last 11 meetings. Edmonton has won in each of its last five trips to BB&T Center, but the last four wins of that stretch have come after regulation. Floridas last home win over the Oilers came in a 5-4 regulation decision on March 8, 2002. The Oilers, however, are just 2-12-7 on the road this season, and have lost 14 straight as the guest after dropping the first two games of a four-game trek that ends Tuesday in Washington. Edmonton dropped its third straight game overall in Thursdays 3-2 loss against Tampa Bay. The Oilers actually outshot the Atlantic Division-leading Lightning 32-19 in the game, but Ben Bishop made 30 saves to help Tampa pick up the close regulation win. The Oilers held leads of 1-0 and 2-1 against Tampa, but the Lightning rallied for the win thanks to a pair of third-period goals from Ondrej Palat. Edmonton received a pair of goals from Benoit Pouliot, but could not tie the game late. Pouliot has six tallies during a four-game goal streak Ben Scrivens made 16 saves on 19 shots in the loss. We had some great scoring opportunities, especially in the second, said Oilers coach Todd Nelson. We hit a couple posts and just didnt bury those chances. In the third, I think Tampa Bay cranked it up a notch. The Oilers havent won on the road since beating the New York Rangers on Nov. 9. The 0-8-6 away skid is the longest road losing streak in franchise history. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale JerseysWholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '

ST. http://www.italiacalciostore.it/maglia-riccardo-montolivo.html . JOHNS, N.L. -- St. Johns IceCaps defenceman Ben Chiarots night went from despair to elation on Saturday, as his team beat the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 3-2 in overtime in American Hockey League action. Chiarot found himself on the end of a wide open puck just outside the slot with the third period winding down, but when he went to connect with the shot his stick exploded. Chiarot got a chance to redeem himself when he set up the game winner with 24.9 seconds left in overtime. "To keep this streak going, it feels great," he said, referring to the last nine games in which St. Johns has walked away with at least a point. "The boys are really excited." Adam Lowry scored the overtime winner, on a partial breakaway with a forehand-to-backhand move before hitting the backhand shot high, with 24.9 seconds left in the extra frame. Eric ODell and Andrew Gordon also scored for St. Johns (36-19-4). Scooter Vaughan and Aaron Ness scored the Sound Tigers (26-27-6). The teams combined for 48 penalty minutes, which shaped the way the game played out. "Not everyone gets out (to play)," Chiarot said. "Penalty killers dont usually play on the power play (and vice-versa). Depending on which way the calls are going, guys can get a little stuff on the bench. It seemed to even itself out in the end and the guys stayed in it." Bridgeport opened the scoring 7:00 into the game through Vaughan, who smashed a one-time slapshot in from the point on the power play. ODell tied the game for the IceCaps at the 12:48 mark of the first, finding a loose puck in front after Jason Jaffray had wrapped around the net. Ness added a short-handed goal for the Sound Tigers at the 13:36 mark of the first, gaining the zone and sniping high blocker with a wrist shot from the slot. The IceCaps tied the game on a power-play goal from Gordon, who wired a slapshot from the point high blocker at the 5:36 mark of the second period. Gordons goal was the turning point of the game, according to IceCaps head coach Keith McCambridge. "Our guys did a good job realizing it when we were down one goal," McCambridge said. "Andrew Gordons goal was a real big one for us to build some momentum. You have to give their goaltender credit, he was excellent at fighting through traffic." IceCaps goalie Michael Hutchinson made 14 saves. Kevin Poulin stopped 33 shots for the Sound Tigers. http://www.italiacalciostore.it/maglia-antonio-candreva.html .500 on the season.

When the best players from both countries hooked up for an eight-game series in 1972, a heated rivalry was born.KAUPULEHU-KONA, Hawaii -- Rocco Mediate fought off a left hip problem to take the first-round lead in the Champions Tours season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship. Mediate shot a 9-under 63 on Friday at Hualalai Golf Course, playing the first seven holes in 6-under with four birdies and a chip-in eagle on the par-5 seventh. He added birdies on Nos. 10, 14 and 18 -- holing a 15-footer from the fringe on the closing hole. "I almost didnt play. My left hip is really bothering me," said Mediate, a two-time winner last year in his first season on the 50-and-over tour after winning six times on the PGA Tour. "The chiropractors here are exceptional. I went out and told myself to try and play. It actually got better as the round went on. This came out of nowhere." Mediate is marrying longtime girlfriend Jessica Somers at the Four Seasons Hualalai on Monday, then heading to Torrey Pines -- the site of his 2008 U.S. Open playoff loss to Tiger Woods -- to play the PGA Tours Farmers Insurance Open. Dan Forsman, the 2012 winner, was a stroke back. He made a 330-foot eagle putt on the par-5 14th and had seven birdies and a bogey. http://www.italiacalciostore.it/maglia-blank.html. . "I was really good with the putter," Forsman said. "Very relaxed." Fred Couples, Fred Funk, Tom Pernice Jr. and Steve Elkington shot 65.

On No. 7, his ball caromed off the lava rocks and ended up rolling across the green and stopping 8 feet from the hole. "It was obviously a big break, probably turning a 6 into a 3 on that hole," Couples said. "The round was OK, but I was only 1-under par on the other 14 holes. I need to do much better. I played four days in a row before today. For me, thats a lot of work."

TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays acquired outfielder Michael Saunders from the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander J. nfl cheap jerseys from china .A. Happ in a deal that essentially closes the door on the possibility of free agent Melky Cabrera returning to the team.The deal was the latest move by Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos in what has been a busy off-season. He recently dealt longtime first baseman Adam Lind to the Milwaukee Brewers, acquired star third baseman Josh Donaldson in a trade with the Oakland Athletics and signed catcher Russell Martin to a lucrative long-term deal.Saunders, a 28-year-old Victoria native, is expected to be the everyday left-fielder for the Blue Jays.We like the fact that Saunders can play all three outfield spots if needed, we think hes going to play an above-average defensive left field, Anthopoulos said. (Hes) a left-handed bat, which is appealing as well (and) can steal a base - hes stolen 21 bases before. We think he has some power in going from that ballpark (Safeco Field) to ours.He can unlock some things in our lineup as well and the two years of (team) control is nice too.Happ was uneven over parts of three seasons in Toronto, but had a solid second half to the campaign. He was 11-11 on the year with a 4.22 earned-run average over 158 innings.His departure improves Aaron Sanchezs chances of making the starting rotation.Hes going to be stretched out in spring training, but it certainly has increased his odds, Anthopoulos said. But hes still going to have to earn a spot right now, depending on what else we might do.Sanchez, a 22-year-old right-hander, was brilliant out of the bullpen in his first season with the Blue Jays. He was 2-2 with a 1.09 ERA in 24 appearances, striking out 27 batters and issuing nine walks.Cabrera, meanwhile, declined the Blue Jays US$15.3-million qualifying offer last month to test the free-agent market.

(SportsNetwork. http://www.authenticjetsfanatic.com/c-23-jets-dee-milliner-jersey.aspx .com) - The Toronto Maple Leafs hope to pick up where they left off before the Olympic break when they visit the John Tavares-less New York Islanders in Thursdays clash at Nassau Coliseum.Toronto was one of several NHL teams that had hot streaks interrupted by the NHLs Olympic break. The Maple Leafs had won five of six right before the hiatus and the club is 11-2-1 over its last 14 games.With 70 points, the Maple Leafs are currently holding on to the seventh of eight playoff spots in the East. Toronto also is just one point in back of both Tampa Bay and Montreal for second place in the Atlantic Division. The top three teams in each division get an automatic bid to the postseason.Toronto is aiming to qualify for the postseason for the second straight spring. Last season the Leafs halted the longest playoff drought in franchise history by making the postseason for the first time since 2004.The Maple Leafs emerge from the break with a road-heavy schedule ahead of them over the next few weeks. Toronto, which is just 11-12-5 as the away club this season, will play two straight and eight of its next 10 on the road.The Islanders, meanwhile, get to continue a five-game homestand on Thursday, but theyll do so without the services of captain and star centerman Tavares.Tavares helped Team Canada win the Olympic tournament, although he missed the semifinals and gold medal game after suffering a partial tear in the MCL of his left knee. Although the injury was originally feared to be worse, it will still keep Tavares sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. However, he will not need surgery as was originally believed.The culmination of the regular season could mark the end of the 2013-14 campaign for the Islanders, who are already 14 points out of the Easts final playoff berth.Tavares, who expects to miss 8-to-12 weeks while recovering, is New Yorks leading scorer with 66 points and is tied for the team lead with 24 goals. He is also third in the NHL in points.The Islanders lost seven of eight games before the break in a stretch that did serious damage to the clubs postseason chances. Without Tavares, the club expects to have a difficult time getting back into the thick of the playoff race.New York and the Leafs have split two meetings so far in 2013-14, but the Isles are 4-1-1 over the last six encounters between the clubs. Toronto, however, has won three straight and four of the past five games at the Coliseum.The Isles are 8-14-8 as the host team this season. The club is playing the third test of its five-game homestand tonight and will complete the stay on Long Island after welcoming New Jersey and Florida on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.http://www.authenticjetsfanatic.com/c-27-jets-nick-folk-jersey.aspx . -- The Minnesota Vikings are struggling both on and off the field.http://www.authenticjetsfanatic.com/c-34-jets-brian-winters-jersey.aspx .C. -- Duke can finally take a breather.Days after the Winnipeg Jets saw their playoff hopes dashed, Dustin Byfugliens season is over.

t live in quiet desperation.

HOUSTON – Any time Marcus Stroman is approached to discuss the successful start to his big league career, hes quick to credit two veteran teammates with helping his transition into the Blue Jays clubhouse. http://www.italiacalciostore.it/maglia-stefano-okaka.html . Hes talked about how Jose Bautista will approach him, even during his outings, to discuss how best to attack hitters. Stroman feeds off the advice, learning how big leaguers quickly make adjustments. Stroman also credits Mark Buehrle. The two talk pitching, naturally, but Buehrle has taken Stroman under his wing in other areas too. Most importantly is how to be a good rookie. "I think hes been doing the dumbest stuff and Ive had to call him out," said Buehrle. "I think the majority of stuff, pitching wise, Im not going to sit there and take credit for anything. Weve talked a few times about little things but I think the biggest thing that Ive tried to direct him and I tell every young guy that comes up, I say listen, I was a rookie, got picked on, I didnt like it. Youre going to get picked on, youre going to have to get your stuff done to you but if you have a question about where you need to be, what you need to wear, what you need to do, any of those questions come ask me and Im going to lead you in the right direction." Buehrle is glad to help because he experienced the other side of it. As a rookie with the White Sox in 2000, he asked veteran pitcher James Baldwin a rights-of-passage question and was intentionally misled, which resulted in Buehrle becoming the brunt of more jokes. "Ive always felt embarrassed and shy, I didnt enjoy it as much my first couple of years because I had no clue what to do and I asked the wrong guy and Im told to do the wrong stuff just to get picked on even more," said Buehrle. Last month in Anaheim as a bus was waiting to transport players to Angel Stadium, Stroman arrived in the lobby of the hotel wearing a pair of shorts. Josh Thole stopped him, Buehrle clarified the situation with the young pitcher, and Stroman went back to change into a pair of pants. Buehrle knows Stroman wasnt coming from a bad place. "He didnt even think, I cant wear shorts to the field. At home you can but on the road its one of those rules, I guess it started when I was told no tennis shoes, no shorts, no hats," said Buehrle. "Im just trying to pass on to the young guys and the guys on the pitching staff that hey, these are the rules when I came up, I feel theyre pretty good rules and they should continue. I dont think were asking too much." Buehrle got roughed up in his July 25 outing at Yankee Stadium, his shortest start in more than four years. His night was over and as he sat in the dugout, he caught Stroman in the middle of another baseball no-no. "I got my ass handed to me in the third inning, sitting there and I got taken out," said Buehrle. "I look over and I see him with a drink and a bag of chips in his hand, sitting there eating it. I wasnt really in the mood to tell him what to do, what not to do but I went over, Hey dude, you cant be having a bag of chips here on the bench." When a ballclub is on the road, there are two buses which take players from the hotel to the stadium. The veterans get the second bus unless they need to arrive at the ballpark early. Rookies are told to be first to work; to take the first bus. Stroman is diligent worker, always on time. "The pitching stuff, him working out, him doing whatever, I think he does a pretty good job at that, he doesnt really need to get talked to," said Buehrle. "Obviously hes got the talent and the stuff there but the other stuff, the rookie mistake stuff, Im there to direct him in the right direction." In spring training, Buehrle and Stroman were in the same practice group. One morning, the group went to the wrong diamond to begin the day. The result: a missed drill. The veterans teased Stroman, blaming him for the mishap. It wasnt his fault, just good-natured ribbing, but Buehrle told Stroman it was up to the youngster to know the schedule and lead the older guys to the right spots. "He came up to me, Hey, weve got to be on Field Two, then we go to Field Three so he kind of told me where we need to be," said Buehrle. Stromans got his own style. Follow him on Twitter and youll often see photos of his latest suit, bowtie, a pair of shoes hes just purchased. "Weve worn him out," said Buehrle. "In New York he wore those bright shoes and (we told him) Hey, make sure youre not focusing on those shoes, make sure youre focusing on pitching." Stroman, according to Buehrle, hasnt worn the shoes since. "He likes flashy stuff. Im not going to talk him out of it. I think its too much because Im not that way but some guys need that to succeed," said Buehrle. About the suits: Stroman was over the moon in New York after Buehrle took him, Todd Redmond, Rob Rasmussen, Aaron Sanchez and Ryan Goins to an exclusive shop for a suit fitting. Call it tradition, Buehrle passing on to others what Ken Griffey Jr. once did for him in Chicago. He clearly would have preferred the suit story not be made public. Buehrle never seeks additional attention. "It was a sign that hey, Im asking you to do some rookie stuff and youre doing it and youre being a sport about it and youre going about it the right way then this is kind of a thank you for being a good sport about it," said Buehrle. He sees a bright future for the Blue Jays on the mound. Buehrle is a believer in each of Stroman, Aaron Sanchez and Drew Hutchison. "Id give my left arm to take some of their talents and what theyre throwing now," said Buehrle. "Thats what Ive said with this whole trade deadline thing brought up, I dont know what teams were asking for but if its one of those guys its tough to get rid of because thats going to be the face of your franchise." Stromans confident. Hes got swagger. Maybe therell come a time when it rubs an opposing hitter or team the wrong way. But the last word about Stroman goes to Buehrle, a pretty good judge of character. "Hes a good kid." Italia Calcio Maglia . Both sides are having domestic troubles going into their meeting in Tuesdays Champions League round of 16 first-leg match, but it is arguably Barcelona which has more to prove. Saturdays 3-2 loss at Osasuna, coupled with Real Madrids 4-2 win over Levante on Sunday, left the defending Spanish champion 10 points behind its bitter rival, which has dropped only eight points all season. http://www.italiacalciostore.it/uomo-2016-europei-emanuele-giaccherini-italia-maglia-replica-puma-23-calcio-blu-prima-manica-lunga-maglietta-uefa-europei-calcio-campionato.html . According to the Winnipeg Free Press, the Blue Bombers confirmed that linebacker Henoc Muamba and wide receiver Chris Matthews worked out with the NFLs Minnesota Vikings after the window for free agents opened on December 1.I have almost no idea what to say anymore about conclusions and sports and because I never played any other sport at a high level, I would never speculate or conclude about what to do out of respect to that sport. I was casually listening to the radio and my interest piqued as the narrative of high school football was beginning. In the report and discussion, it was stated that a study was done on high school football players that over the course of just one year, there had been damage to the brain of a high percentage of players throughout the course of a single season. This was quite eye-opening because I always figured that it took collective years to see significant damage and violent pro football-type hits to create the damage necessary to have cognitive results. I guess, or maybe simply should say I was wrong to have a timeframe in my mind. Then on Monday, I was reading USA Today and on page 3 of the sports is a story of Kosta Karageorge, who was an Ohio State football player who took his life at age 22. He was a walk-on and knowing what I know about walk-ons in Division 1 football, he was a demonstration player which means he did a lot of hitting. Both educations to me, one auditory and one visual reading, got me thinking about concussions and football; that something is really wrong here but what to do I am embarrassed to say I really dont know. Sometimes I think that some people through genetics unfortunately just have a type of brain that absorbs the punishment more than rejects it. Having only the basics in brain physiology at university, I have no real idea, more of a theory but when you think of someone at 22 who had a concussion history doing what he did and a report about the effects of high school football, it does make your mind search for answers. I had three bad concussions dduring my college and pro career and remember the details of all three.http://www.italiacalciostore.it/uomo-daniele-padelli-italia-maglia-2016-puma-26-calcio-bianca-authentic-seconda-uefa-europei-campionato-manica-lunga-maglietta.html. And like many who have played football, Ive had many subtle moments of disorientation after unavoidable shots to the head. Fortunately, I feel fine and I think that is an issue because when you feel fine, you lose that ability to deeply relate. I have said if I had a son, I would hesitate to let him play football and this is from a person who has an occupation to promote the game. But I cant say with conviction that I would if I had. I know two players that are different after their careers and, out of respect, would never highlight them. And I wonder if there are others out there that I dont know about that live in quiet desperation. Are my perceptions changing about football? Yes, they are; not is a dramatic way but more in a way of conclusive awareness of a price you may pay. And I say may because there are also many football players who have been retired for many years like me that have no problems. Concussions in sports are still in a grey area but a grey area just through repetition does not paint a positive future. Maybe it is the study of genetics and mans mastery of that knowledge base that could perceive the future and keep people safe that are suspect before they play. I will be the first one to put football in its proper place. It is a sport and only a sport. Good things happen out of it but the sport has little significance to what is important. Yet people pay a price later in life for action taken in the youth of life. I wonder if were all in denial and 30 seconds later. I wonder if it is a slight overeaction because health care is better than ever. But what really bothers me is I wonder why I have no idea what to say or conclude anymore. It is not that I am numb, more confused. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
