Yet, when he walks out on the field he has a huge smile on his face as he stops to say hello. Mens Nike Free 5.0+ Running Shoes Royal Blue/Fluorescence Green/White . The 24-year-old piloted the No.06 Sprott Inc. Newman/Haas Racing entry to nine top-ten finishes, including three season-best fourth-place finishes, all on wildly different tracks - at Long Beach (street course), New Hampshire Motor Speedway (short oval) and Kentucky Speedway (1.WINNIPEG -- Two is better than one for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this season when it comes to kickers, at least when theyre both Canadians. Coach Mike OShea says they opted to stick with veteran Mike Renaud for punting and go with Canadian newcomer Lirim Hajrullahu for field goals and kickoffs. He says American Brett Maher was pretty much in a tie with the Canadians, and as an import he needed to win all three battles. "I said all along in that battle he had to win the job outright in all three phases and I think he drew even in all three phases," he said Monday after Maher was released. "I think it was a pretty even draw. . . And the way our roster shapes up, that wasnt necessarily good enough." But he says Maher is a quality kicker who should find a home if anyone watched what he did with the Bombers. Renaud is entering his sixth season with Winnipeg. Rookie Hajrullahu is a native of St. Catharines, Ont., whose 402 points and 72 field goals are records at Western, where he played for the Mustangs through 2013. Winnipegs roster issues when it comes to the import-Canadian balance werent helped any Monday with the news linebacker Graig Newman could miss the entire regular season, after suffering a serious ankle injury in their final pre-season game in Calgary. OShea held out some hope he might return earlier. "Graigs a guy we went after hard in the off-season and Im not saying hes done for the season," he said. "I know thats whats been said in the report but Im optimistic and sos he and well see him soon. Hes already in his mind figuring out his rehab and how hard hes going to work. . . Ask me again in a couple of months, three months possibly." Newman was scheduled for surgery Monday after dislocating and fracturing his ankle in their 23-20 loss to the Calgary Stampeders Saturday night, the Bombers second pre-season loss after bowing 24-22 to the Toronto Argonauts last Monday. "Graig is not only a great football player, but a great person, and our entire organization supports him throughout this process," general manager Kyle Walters said in a release. "We look forward to him beginning rehab and returning to the field as soon as possible. Mens Nike Air Max 90 Knit Shoes Yellow/Green. " The six-foot-one, 195-pound native of Langley, B.C., had 18 tackles and one sack last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He also had one punt return for seven yards. "This is obviously very disappointing as I was really looking forward to being a part of all the new things going on in the Blue Bomber organization," Newman said in a statement issued by the team. "This is a great province to play football in, and I look forward to getting back out there as soon as possible." The Bombers also cut veteran Canadian offensive lineman Chris Kowalchuk on Monday. He was entering his sixth season, although he had only played a total of six games over the last two. They released three rookies as well, Canadian running back Errol Brooks and pair of imports, receiver C.J. Tarver and linebacker Kenny Tate. OShea says playing both pre-season games in less than a week was tough and he decided to give the players Monday off. "It makes it harder to practice right now," said OShea. "The guys had two games in six days, theyre tired and they need a little bit of a rest." He says its still training camp mode in terms of their practice shcedules, but theyre also getting ready for the CFL season opener, which will be played in Winnipeg against the Toronto Argonauts June 26. The break is timely, OShea said. "Our focus is cleaning ourselves up with the focus shifted to our opponent." He also said he has no worries about how the offensive line is shaping up, despite some criticism of the way they allowed Calgary to get to their quarterbacks on the weekend. "Theyre taking the techniques . . Theyre applying them in the game. . . By the time we roll into week one theyre all going to be better and theyre going to be better as a unit." He also said he wasnt worry about a defence that lost the battle in both pre-season games. "Im not concerned at all. I know what weve put in and I know that well keep working. The efforts there, the buy-in is there." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

EDMONTON -- Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish feels optimistic about his teams future despite a last-place finish in the Western Conference standings.Jose Bautista Jersey . MacTavish gave his head coach a vote of confidence Tuesday and said while its hard to determine where the team is in its development stage, he feels most of the "heavy lifting" has been done. "Were closer to the end in my mind than we are to the beginning in terms of the development of this team," MacTavish said Tuesday at a season-ending media availability. Expectations were higher in Edmonton this season but the team struggled from the start and finished with a 29-44-9 record for 67 points, good for a 28th-place finish in the 30-team league. There were a few bright lights for the Oilers. TaylorHall had a strong year with 80 points in 75 games and fellow forwards JordanEberle and RyanNugent-Hopkins had productive campaigns. Defensive woes were a constant problem. The Oilers struggled on the blue-line and between the pipes, allowing a league-worst 270 goals. MacTavish has no plans to add anything "middle of the road" to the current defence core and feels the teams younger players can fill those positions. He does plan to target a high-end defenceman in the off-season. "We need a few pieces that can really move this thing along," said MacTavish. The GM added that Eakins -- who completed his first season as an NHL head coach -- has a bright future with the team. "Im convinced this guy is the right coach to lead us into much more successful times ... hes relentless," MacTavish said. Despite the foundation of young, talented offensive players, the Oilers managed only 203 goals. The goaltending situation was unsettled throughout the season as netminder DevanDubnyk struggled in the starters role. Dubnyk was dealt to Nashville at the trade deadline and the Oilers acquired BenScrivens from Los Angeles. Scrivens and fellow mid-season acquisition ViktorFasth posted decent numbers as Edmonton finished with a 14-13-3 mark over its last 30 games. MacTavish said there is plenty of work ahead and admitted the team did not live up to expectations. But he likes the young core and is confident improvement can be made. "Were building our team around this group," he said. "And you have to have pieces in that locker-room that you view as guys that are going to develop into winners and guys that are going to develop into superstars. "I feel strongly that we have a number of those pieces in there and those are the guys were going to build that team around. I want them to feel the ownership, I want them to feel the loyalty from myself and the coaching staff that we have the confidence in them to drive this team forward." Joe Carter Jersey . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. Colby Rasmus Jersey . On Thursday, they finally put together a complete game and won 6-1 to avoid a series sweep. MattDominguez broke out of a slump with a three-run home run and rookie GeorgeSpringer also homered to back up seven strong innings by JarredCosart. PHOENIX -- Left-handed reliever CraigBreslow and the Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to a one-year contract worth US$1,795,000, a deal that avoided salary arbitration. The agreement Thursday was $5,000 below the midpoint between the $2.1 million he had asked for last month and the $1.5 million Arizona had offered. Breslow was acquired from OOakland with right-hander TrevorCahill in a Dec. Custom Blue Jays Jersey. 9 trade. The 31-year-old was 0-2 with a 3.79 earned-run average in 67 appearances with Oakland last year, when he made $1.4 million. He led relievers with five pickoffs. Breslow is 12-17 with a 3.06 ERA and six saves in six seasons in the majors with five teams.cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

PHILADELPHIA -- SteveMason and the Flyers are playing their best hockey of the season heading into the Olympic break. Ray McDonald 49ers Jersey . Its a break team chariman Ed Snider would love to abolish. Mason stopped 38 shots, and MarkStreit and MichaelRaffl scored goals, leading the Philadelphia Flyers past the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Thursday night. Mason blanked Detroit 5-0 on Jan. 28 and stopped the Los Angeles Kings 2-0 on Feb. 1. He was only 2:50 away from his fourth shutout of the season, and third in five games, when NathanMacKinnon beat him for his 21st goal of the season. Mason stopped his first 33 shots. Mason, who signed a three-year extension last month, has been the key reason the Flyers have been able to hang around in the Eastern Conference playoff race. With one game left before the break, the Flyers recent spurt could stall because of the Olympics. "I hate them," said Snider, the Flyers founder. He added: "Its ridiculous, the whole thing is ridiculous. I dont care if it was in Philadelphia, I wouldnt want to break up the league. I think its ridiculous to take three weeks off, or however long it is, in the middle of the season. It screws up everything. .. How can anybody be happy breaking up their season. No other league does it, why should we? Theres no benefit to us whatsoever. If anything, I can only see negatives." Reminded the Flyers reached the Stanley Cup finals during the last Olympics in 2010, Snider laughed. "Maybe I like them," he said. "I forget about that." ClaudeGiroux, who scored an empty-netter with 20 seconds left, has plenty of time to rest during the break. He was snubbed Thursday by Hockey Canada when MartinSt.Louis was picked as an injury replacement for his Tampa Bay teammate StevenStamkos. SteveYzerman, the Canadians executive director and Tampa Bays general manager, chose St. Louis over Giroux and Pittsburghs JamesNeal. "Its a farce," Snider said. "Hes one of the best players in the game. Its ridiculous. Hes better than half the guys on that team. "Anybody that thinks that ClaudeGiroux doesnt belong on the Canadian team, they dont know anything about hockey as far as Im concerned. Its politics, to a certain degree. He had to pick his own guy. His own guy is good, but Claude is better." The Avalanche, who lost 5-1 to the New York Rangers on Tuesday, couldnt solve Mason until it was too late. The Avalanche called timeout with 1:27 left and pulled goalie SemyonVarlamov in a last-gasp effort at the tying goal. It didnt work. The Flyers scored in the second period, when Streits shot from the blue line was deflected by a defenceman and wobbled past Varlamov for his eighth goal. Streit is heading to his fourth Olympics for Switzerland. The Flyers got a scare when centre BraydenSchenn was checked from behind into the boards by PatrickBordeleau. Schenn quickly got on his skates, and his teammates went after Bordeleau behind the net. Bordeleau threw his right elbow into Schenns back and the Flyer thumped the board, and then hit the ice. Bordeleau was hit with 5 minutes for checking from behind and a game misconduct. Colorado coach PatrickRoy was red faced and furious as he argued with the officials that the hit didnt merit an ejection. Masons play picked up after a recent pep talk from Hall of Fame goalie Bernie Parent. Mason stopped 14 shots in the first period and made the save of the night in the second when he robbed GabrielLandeskog with a glove save from his rear. "I think we didnt make it hard enough for him in the first 55 minutes," Landeskog said. "I think the last five, we were in his face, banging rebounds, and trying to bang one home there and made it hard on him. We started throwing pucks from different angles and tough angles and what not." Mason posted a 1.51 goals-against-average over his last four starts, stopped 95 per cent of his shots and had two shutouts. "The job as starting goalie every night is to make sure we provide stability back there, and thats what Im trying to do," he said. Raffls seventh goal of the season, off a nice pass by SeanCouturier from behind the net, early in the third was the insurance the Flyers needed to win their third straight. NOTES: The Flyers had a video tribute and a moment of silence for former coach and general manager Keith Allen. Allen died Tuesday. He was 90. "I love Keith Allen," Snider said. ... Lauren Hart, the daughter of longtime former Flyers broadcaster Gene Hart, sang "God Bless America," alternating lyrics with Kate Smith, who was on a video image. Smiths rendition of the song has been a rallying anthem for the Flyers since the mid-1970s.

Al Woods Titans Jersey . The 76ers centre hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in regulation and scored 11 of his 25 points in the final two minutes of regulation and overtime Friday night to lead Philadelphia to a 115-107 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Kicker GrahamGano believes hes found a home in Carolina. Gano became the first of Carolinas 20 soon-to-be unrestricted free agents to re-sign with the Panthers on Friday, signing a four-year contract. Financial terms were not released. "Im really excited to be back in Carolina," Gano said. "It is where my family and I wanted to be. I love the organization and feel this is the best place for me." The 26-year-old Gano is coming off a successful season, converting 24 of 27 field goal attempts while helping the team to a 12-4 record and the NFC South title. He set a franchise record and tied for the NFL lead with six made field goals from 50 yards or more. He was the only NFL kicker with three or more attempts from 50 yards or more without a miss from that distance. "The special teams unit was a large part of our success last year and we are excited to keep Graham as a part of our team," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said in a news release. "Graham has shown range and accuracy in his field goal kicking, and his strong leg has been a weapon for us on kickoffs." Of his 82 kickoffs, 76 reached the end zone, including 63 for touchbacks, the highest percentage in the NFL since 1994. A five-year NFL veteran, Gano spent his first thhree seasons with the Washington Redskins. Nick Foles Eagles Jersey. He has converted 92 of 118 field goal attempts in his career. Gano tied the NFL record for most overtime field goals in a season with three in 2010, a mark previously accomplished by JohnKasay for Carolina in 2003 and JasonHanson for Detroit in 1994. Gano feels like he has some stability on the team, which has helped his game. "When I was in Washington I went through four holders and that took some getting used to," Gano said. "I finally got comfortable there and made my last 14 of 17 field goals. Ive carried over that consistency to Carolina." Gano said he was celebrating the new deal by taking his son to Chic-fil-A. Carolinas other unrestricted free agents include quarterbacks DerekAnderson and JimmyClausen, wide receivers DomenikHixon, BrandonLaFell and TedGinn Jr., tight end BenHartsock, offensive linemen GeoffHangartner, TravelleWharton, GarryWilliams and BruceCampbell, defensive end GregHardy, defensive tackle ColinCole, linebackers JordanSenn, JasonWilliams and DanConnor, safeties QuintinMikell and MikeMitchell, and cornerbacks CaptainMunnerlyn and DraytonFlorence. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

AUGUSTA, Ga. Wade Boggs Jersey . -- JasonDay, who tied for second at the Masters and U.S. Open last year, withdrew during the second round Friday with an injured left ankle. The Australian was at 5 over for the tournament when he left Friday, after playing seven holes, and was 1 over for the day. Day and AdamScott finished two strokes behind CharlSchwartzel at Augusta National last year. It was the best finish by a first-time player at the Masters since Dan Pohl in 1982. Joe Kelly Red Sox Jersey . -- The basic role that JonathanMartin and RichieIncognito shared as offensive linemen for the Miami Dolphins was protecting quarterback RyanTannehill. Fred Lynn Jersey . -- Michael Phelps has competed in the second event of his comeback and failed to advance to the 50-meter freestyle final.Canadian distance swimmer Ryan Cochrane will get his chance to repeat as an Olympic medallist in the 1,500-metre freestyleafter he breezed through Fridays qualifying heats. Cochrane, Canadas only swimming medallist four years ago in Beijing with a third-place finish in this event, posted a preliminary time of fourteen minutes, 49.31 seconds to advance as the third seed. The Victoria, B.C. swimmer was relieved after suffering disappointment in the 400m freestyle earlier this week. Cochrane was initially moved into the top-8 final after Olympic favourite Park Tae-Hwan was disqualified. But the Korean swimmer mounted a successful appeal bid, bumping Cochrane into ninth and out of the medal race. "I was pretty disappointed after my 400 swim, and I knew it was just a lost opportunity," Cochrane said after Fridays 1500m swim."I came here to win two medals, I can only win one now." Cochrane did not quite match his preliminary from Beijing, where he set an Olympic record with a time of 14:40.84. The record was broken soon after by Australian Grant Hackett, who swam 14:38.92 in a later heat. Even so, Cochrane said he was pleased with his Friday finish. His time was several seconds faster than he had expected, he said. "Itskindof the samethingin Beijing where I surprised myself, but Imgoingto take it as a building (block) because it wasnt as hard as it was in Beijing. Im going to take that as a positive." Reigning world record holder and 2011 world champion Sun Yang posted the fastest time of the heats with 14:43.25 while Tunisias Oussama Mellouli was third in 14:46.23. The final is scheduled for Saturday evening. Womens 50m Freestyle Four years after an untimely case of the chicken pox kept Canadian Victoria Poon inquarantine right up until her first individual event ofthe Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the sprint swimmer advanced to her first Olympic semi-final in London. Poon finished 30th in Beijing, a result she has already bettered in London with her 25.15-second finish in Fridays preliminary swim. In a race that is over in less than 25 seconds, Poons 0.77 reaction time off the blocks was among the slowest of the swimmers who advanced into Friday evenings semi-final round. She made up for her deficit with a mad dash through the pool and posted the 14th-fastest time of the morning -- just 0.15 seconds off the Canadian record set by Jennifer Beckberger in 2009, before the banning of the high-tech polyurethane swimsuits. The top-16 advance. WWhile world-record holder Britta Steffen, of Germany, also advanced with a time of 24. Jimmie Foxx Red Sox Jersey. 70s, the fastest two swimmers of the morning were both from the Netherlands. Ranomi Kromowidjojo and Marleen Veldhuis both breezed through with times of 24.51s and 24.57s, respectively. The semis are scheduled for Friday evening. Womens 4x100m Medley Relay Canadas womens medley relay team of Julia Wilkinson, Tera Van Beilen, Katerine Savard and Samantha Cheverton were left disappointed following the morning heats. The Canadian squad posted a time of 4:02.71 to place sixth in their heat. Their 12th-place overall finish was well outside of the top-eight qualifying standard. "We wanted to be in that final and obviously, we are not going to be," Wilkinson said. "Its been a pretty hard way to end the meet but I think everybody on this team came out and did whatever they could." Australia finished first with a time of 3:55.42 and will be joined by Japan, Denmark, the United States, the Netherlands, Great Britain, China and Russia in Saturdays final. Mens 4x100m Medley Relay Canadas experienced mens relay team of Charles Francis, 23, Scott Dickens, 27, Joe Bartoch, 29 and Brent Hayden, 28,had a happier ending to their day after finishing eighth overall in their preliminary heats. After placing fourth with a time of 3:34.46 in the first of two heats, the Canadians place in the final was far from secure.Dickens, Bartoch and Hayden have all said they will retire following Londons Games, and they waited on the pool deck to see whether they had just participated in their final Olympic race. "Theres always that hope for one more, but I treated that swim like it was my last," Dickens said between races, his voice thick with emotion. "We had a really good swim so now its basically just a waiting game to see where we end up," added Hayden, two days after he earned his first Olympic medal -- a bronze -- in the mens 100m freestyle. "If were not in the final, I know we all put our heart and soul into this race," he said. As the last swimmers in Heat 2 touched the wall, however, it became clear that the Canadians Olympic run would be extended one race further. They qualified in the eighth and final spot, just 0.06 seconds ahead of the ninth-place team from New Zealand. The mens relay final is also scheduled for Saturday evening; Canada will be joined by the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany and Hungary in the medal race. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

LAS VEGAS -- Brad Keselowski once blew a tire while leading the final lap of this same Nationwide Series race, so he knew he couldnt get excited about a victory in Vegas until he actually crossed the line. Wade Boggs Jersey . He finally got there Saturday after overcoming electrical problems, traffic and Kyle Busch for an uncommonly satisfying victory. Keselowski held off Busch in the final laps to win the Nationwide race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the first time. Keselowski earned his 28th career Nationwide win on his 20th track, doing it in his eighth try in Vegas -- where he infamously blew a tire on the final lap in 2011, handing a win to Mark Martin. The 2012 Sprint Cup champion finally cracked this track despite a remarkable series of setbacks and challenges that left Keselowski more relieved than excited. "We found every way we could to make it hard," Keselowski said. "This Ford was flying today. These races arent getting any easier to win. I drove as hard as I could, every lap." Keselowski has been in contention in the Nationwide race in Las Vegas several times over his previous seven starts, but managed just two top-10 finishes after repeated trouble. He found enormous trouble in this one, but still led 144 of the 200 laps. He had led 106 of the first 139 laps before a sluggish green-flag pit stop allowed Busch to move in front. Keselowski also lost three spots early after sliding through his pit box, and he later lost power because of a faulty alternator, forcing him to turn off equipment. "It was systematic alternator failure," crew chief Jeremy Bullins said. "At that point, you go into safe mode, shut off everything you can, and hope the battery makes it to the end. We were losing power at the end, but we had enough to make it." Keselowski then navigated through a thicket of traffic on the final laps in an exciting finish. "I knew it was just a matter of time before (Busch) caught me," Keselowski said. "I was just trying to get through as much traffic as possible." Busch came up from a 37th-place start to finish second on his hometown track, but couldnt catch Keselowskis Penske Ford. Busch, who got sent to the back for making adjustments after qualifying, was decidedly unimpressed with his cars engine, which is from Joe Gibbs Racing, not Toyota. "Our car was super-fast on the long run," Busch said. "Best motor won today, thats for sure. Probably the best car. He was really good. Thats all we had." Kyle Larson was third despite early damage to his car, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished fourth in front of 18-year-old rookie Chase Elliott, who posted his first top-five finish. Larson managed a standout finish despite hitting the wall early in the race, while Elliott also gave an impressive performance. The races most eye-catching move was made by Matt Kenseth, who was racing three wide with Busch and Keselowski when he spun on the final turn on the 159th lap, turning sideways into the straightaway. Kenseth incredibly managed to save it without crashing, while Elliott also narrowly avoided running straight into Kenseths perpendicular car. Regan Smith leads Trevor Bayne atop the Nationwide points standings through three races, with Elliott Sadler in third and Ty Dillon fourth. Hanley Ramirez Authentic Jersey .Eric Tangradi had an empty-net goal with 52 second left in regulation and added two assists to lead the Hamilton (22-17-6) offence. Drayson Bowman, Jacob de la Rose and Sahir Gill also scored.Tyler Graovac scored shorthanded for the Wild (15-29-2), who have dropped six straight games. Carl Yastrzemski Jersey . Moulson left late in the third period of Thursdays 3-2 win in Phoenix with an undisclosed injury, which the club revealed on Friday was an upper-body issue.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers President and Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was impressed by his first meeting with Japanese sensation YuDarvish and is confident a contract will be completed by next weeks deadline. "My expectations are that well get something done," Ryan said Thursday night, then added the term "optimistic." The Rangers last month bid a record US$51.7 million under the posting system to win the right to negotiate with the 25-year-old Darvish, considered Japans best pitcher. The 30-day negotiating window for the two-time defending American League champions ends Wednesday at 4 p.m. CT. Ryan declined to elaborate on negotiations, but didnt express any concern about the possibility of them going down to the wire. "Thats the nature of these things," Ryan said before a team awards show that kicked off the Rangers annual winter FanFest weekend. The six-foot-five Darvish last week visited Texas for the first time with his representatives and family members. He visited Rangers Ballpark and met with team officials, including Ryan, before returning home to Japan. "Obviously, he was bigger than I thought," Ryan said. "I thought hes built like a pitcher. He looks good. I think he understands a lot of English and I just like his attitude about wanting to compete. To me, he represented all I had been led to believe, so I felt really good about it." Thats quite a compliiment coming from Ryan, the hard-throwing Texan who played a record 27 major league seasons and is baseballs career strikeout king. Carl Yastrzemski Red Sox Jersey. The Rangers, who have been scouting Darvishs games in Japan for at least two years, only pay the $51.7 million posting fee if he signs with them. Darvish, the son of an Iranian father and a Japanese mother, went 18-6 with a 1.44 ERA last season for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. He had 276 strikeouts to lead the Pacific League. Darvish, who turned pro at 18, pitched in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and was a member of the Japanese team that won the 2009 World Baseball Classic. The right-hander has superb control and throws seven effective pitches. "Ive never seen any film on him, but heard that hes very good," MichaelYoung, the Rangers longest-tenured player, said with a smile. "Very good players are always welcome." Texas has lost its No. 1 pitcher in free agency after each of the last two World Series. CliffLee left after the 2010 season to return to Philadelphia, and left-hander C.J.Wilson agreed to a $77.5 million, five-year contract with the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels last month. "I think everybodys pretty optimistic that well sign YuDarvish and hopefully he can bring a lot to this team," outfielder DavidMurphy said. "All I know is what Ive seen on TV. ... He looks like hes got electric stuff." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

MONTPELLIER, France -- Top-seeded Richard Gasquet beat third-seeded Jerzy Janowicz of Poland 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) on Saturday to set up an all-French final in the Open Sud de France against Gael Monfils. Maury Wills Dodgers Jersey . The fifth-seeded Monfils earlier beat sixth-seeded Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. Monfils improved to 4-0 against Nieminen. Monfils dropped his serve in the second set, before breaking Nieminen twice in the deciding set. Janowicz had 16 aces compared to eight for Gasquet, and both players dropped serve once. Defending champion Gasquet is chasing his 11th career title. Monfils won the tournament four years ago and will aim on Sunday for his fifth career title, but his first since winning indoors at Stockholm three years ago. Three of his titles were on indoor hard-courts. The final will be the 10th meeting between the 27-year-olds, with Monfils leading 5-4. "Gael is an incredible player, he does everything well," Gasquet said. "Its always a bit weird to play a friend in a final, but I am looking forward to it. I think its the best final we could have here in Montpellier and I hope it will be a good match." Gasquet, ranked ninth, is Frances No. 1 player ahead of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, while Monfils has slipped to 30th after persistent knee injuries. "Richard has so much talent (and) he is not (in the) top 10 for nothing. He has improved a lot physically and mentally lately, which makes him a difficult player to beat," Monfils said. "Hes going to be the favourite. He is the top seed and the defending champion. I am really looking forward to playing my buddy in the final, it makes it more fun." St. Louis Cardinals Jersey . "What Im hoping to accomplish, not only with that line, with each line, is production, just positive production and hope we can move forward," Noel said after practice. The move was telegraphed Thursday when Byfuglien wore a forwards jersey during practice, but with a couple of players out with the flu it could be explained away and Noel wouldnt confirm the change. Chris Tillman Orioles Jersey . -- For nearly two months, the Philadelphia 76ers couldnt win a road game.ST. LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Louis Rams have filed a tax appeal with the state of Missouri, seeking a refund of about $400,000. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Rams have also asked the state to forgive an additional $445,000 in unpaid taxes. So far, the state has refused to give any money back to the NFL team. The Rams have contested tax assessments before -- theyve filed six appeals since 2008, amounting to $4.7 million at face value. Theres no way to tell what happened with each case, but the Missouri Department of Revenue says four of the cases were settled. The state would not offer details, claiming that sales tax receipts are closed records. A message seeking comment from the Rams on Thursday was not returned. The Post-Dispatch reported that the appeals began after a state audit in September 2008, when the Rams were told that the team owed nearly $1.4 million in unpaid taxes on luxury club memberships. The Rams protested that assessment -- the first of the six appeals. "Some people are just a little more aggressive in trying to diminish their state tax bills," said Henry Ordower, a tax law professor at Saint Louis University. He said appeals have been more common in recent years because states have sought ways to increase their tax collection.Colorado Rockies Jersey. "Every state has been more assertive in collecting state taxes," Ordower said. "States need money." The Rams collect about 4 per cent in state sales tax, 4.5 per cent in city sales tax and an additional 5 per cent for the city amusement tax, totalling about $13.50 on a $100 ticket. The team also sells something called a "club membership." Club memberships add $1,000 on top of the ticket price, and members get food and beverage discounts, entry to draft previews, training camp practices and special events, and other benefits. In the 2008 filing, the Rams argued that club memberships are benefits, not tickets, and shouldnt be subjected to sales taxes. In the other appeals, the team argued it is not subject to states sales tax at all. Then in 2011, the Rams said they discovered they were "erroneously" calculating sales taxes on a base ticket price inflated by the city taxes. That means the city was collecting about 40 cents too much on each $100 ticket. That led to appeals for reimbursement of $401,000 and $445,000 over the past two years. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

Toronto Maple Leafs centre DaveBolland knows he could be traded by the NHLs March 5 trade deadline, but he isnt stressing over the possibility. Nike Air Max Thea Herr . "Whatever happens, happens," Bolland told TSNs Mark Masters on Monday. "If its staying here, its staying here. Thats my goal." Bolland was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks prior to this season for 51st and 117th overall picks in the 2013 NHL draft, as well as a fourth round pick in this years draft. Bolland, who is in the final year of a three-year contract, said hes not currently concerned with the status of his contract. "Contract will come. I could care less about the contract right now," Bolland added. The 27-year-old has not played since suffering a severed ankle tendon against the Vancouver Canucks in early November. However, Bolland is nearing a return and has been practicing in full with the Maple Leafs. In 15 games with the Leafs this season, Bolland has six goals and four assists. Nike Air Max 1 Dam Vita . On Tuesday, they did it again. RoyHibbert scored 22 points and LanceStephenson fell just short of his fourth triple double this season, helping the Pacers hold off Torontos late charge for an 86-79 victory that allowed them to keep the NBAs best record. Nike Air Max 90 Dam Rea . The 76ers centre hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in regulation and scored 11 of his 25 points in the final two minutes of regulation and overtime Friday night to lead Philadelphia to a 115-107 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.With rumours flying surrounding his former number one goalie and the injured centre he acquired at the 2013 NHL Draft, Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis sounded as if nothing was imminent when it came to either the contract negotiations with DaveBolland or the likelihood of a trade involving JamesReimer. Nonis mentioned how the Leafs handled TylerBozaks negotiations last year in reference to Bollands status. If youve got a player thats unrestricted it doesnt mean he wont sign if you dont sign him before the (July 1) deadline, Nonis said, pointing out how the Leafs held onto TylerBozak despite his upcoming free agency before signing him in the off-season. Im perfectly content letting the UFA&rdquuo;s play it out and see where we are. Nike Air Max 90 Rea. In response to the trade rumours surrounding Reimer, Nonis commented that he is in no rush to break up a goalie tandem that has played a key role in the teams success this season. Weve been able to win games because of both of them and I think thats a strength of our group right now, Nonis said of a tandem thats combined for the leagues fifth best save percentage despite facing nearly two shots per game more than any other NHL club. Right now I dont see it as a smart move on our standpoint at least from whats been offered to date -- to move either one of the goaltenders.

While many people will debate why goaltending has improved so much by using explanations that include the size of equipment, the articles author Neil Payne has his own explanation"During the 1980s, the prevailing style was still the so-calledstand-upmethod, in which a goalie largely remains upright on his skates while making saves, using his stick and skates to stop low shots. Paul Posluszny Black Jersey . In the middle of the decade, though, goaltending phenom Patrick Roy made his NHL debut. Emboldened by recent advances in arm and chest protectors, Roy used a different technique the butterfly wherein the goaltender drops to his knees to make saves, effectively sealing off most shooting targets along the bottom third of the net."Whether Gretzky had it easy or not will always be a topic for discussion. His stats still are beyond anything achieved by individual athletes in teams sports and his did have an uncanny knack for finishing. Clay Harbor Jersey . She was 30. The former British No. 1 died peacefully surrounded by family and friends, the Womens Tennis Association said on its website. The Kyiv-born Baltacha, who represented Britain at the 2012 London Olympics, was diagnosed with the illness in January, two months after retiring from tennis and only weeks after she married her long-time coach Nino Severino. Blake Bortles Black Jersey .Y. - Centre Corban Knight scored 3:30 into overtime, and the Abbotsford Heat rallied to edge the Utica Comets 5-4 on Wednesday in American Hockey League play.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Smiles were the order of the day, as the Super Bowl-champion New York Giants returned home, victorious once again. The teams charter plane from Indianapolis touched down around 1:55 p.m. Monday at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Several players saluted the crowd as they departed the aircraft, and some used cameras and video recorders to capture the moment and the scene. Coach Tom Coughlin also had a big smile as he waved to the crowd. Once on the ground, the players, coaches and team officials were greeted by several hundred airport employees and a Port Authority bagpipe band. Crews also fired water cannons to salute the team while the plane taxied to a hangar. The players then took buses to the teams headquarters in East Rutherford, where thousands of fans lined the gates waiting to catch a glimpse of the champions. At around 2:15 p.m., a caravan of five chartered buses pulled up to the gate at the Timex Performance Center. The first bus had Coughlin sitting in the front seat, waving to the cheering fans. When all five buses made it safely inside, the players started to filter out and to their own vehicles. Wide receiver MarioManningham and defensive end JustinTuck came over to the fence to greet the cheering fans, offering handshakes and high fives. "Every time we came into the huddle, we just tried to take it one play at a time," Tuck said later Monday, in an interview on WFAN. "It was just another team effort. We were so ffocused. Ziggy Hood Jersey. " Tight end JakeBallard was spotted coming off the bus, donning crutches to help him manoeuvr with his injured right knee. He managed to smile and wave to the adoring fans. Defensive end DaveTollefson heard chants of "D-Line, D-Line" from the crowd and pumped his fist into the air. But there were two key components missing: the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Super Bowl MVP EliManning. The scene at the facility was an ironic twist to the entire season, one that began in July with the media being forced to try to gain access from outside the same gate during the final stages of the lockout. Eight months later, again, the media was on the outside looking in. There were 11 different television news crews there, as well as 15 reporters. But no one got past the gate to gain access to the players. The Giants captured the franchises fourth Super Bowl championship on Sunday, with a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots. "Its a testament to hard work and never losing faith," Tuck said. "And always believing in each other." New York now only trails Pittsburgh with six titles, and San Francisco and Dallas with five. The Giants also became the first team to win the title after finishing the regular season 9-7. The team had an up-and-down year, but finished with wins over the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys, securing the NFC East title, before winning four consecutive post-season games. The teams parade is on Tuesday. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

DALLAS -- AlexChiasson broke a third-period tie with his first goal in 13 games, and Lindy Ruff earned his 600th NHL coaching victory with a 3-2 win over his former team, the Buffalo Sabres, on Monday night. Pat Neshek Cardinals Jersey . JamieBenns slap shot from the blue line deflected off Chiasson and past goalie JhonasEnroth for a power-play goal at 10:25 of the third. The Stars opened a two-point lead over their closest pursuers for eighth place in the Western Conference. Ruff posted his first 571 wins with the Sabres before joining the Stars. Defencemen JordieBenn and AlexGoligoski both scored their third goal of the season for the Stars, who overcame a 1-0 deficit. Benn had been scoreless for 11 games, and Goligoski had gone 48 without a goal. TylerEnnis scored twice for Buffalo, with MattMoulson assisting on both goals. The second got the Sabres even at 3:23 of the third. Dallas (29-22-10) has 68 points. Winnipeg and Vancouver each have 66. Enroth made 36 saves, and Dallas KariLehtonen had 21. Dallas dominated the first period everywhere but on the scoreboard as the Sabres took a 1-0 lead. The Stars recorded 14 of the first 17 shots, but failed to score on three power plays despite putting seven shots on goal. Dallas nearly gave up a short-handed goal on the third advantage, but MattDAgostinis shot hit the crossbar. The Sabres scored on their next shot. DrewStafford skated in on the left side, and when Dallas TrevorDaley slid on the ice to try to block a shot, Stafford passed the puck across to Ennis, who scored at 17:17. Dallas outshot the Sabres 16-5 in the period, which ended with Enroth stopping Chiassons close-range backhand. Chiasson put a team-high four shots on goal in the first, including some of the Stars best chances. Enroth had stopped Chiassons slap shot on Dallas first power play, as well as two CodyEakin slap shots. The Stars tied it 1:30 into the second period when Benn sent a slap shot from the left point past Enroth, with help from a screen by his brother Jamie. Six seconds before the period ended, Gologoski scored. RyanGarbutt deflected TrevorDaleys slap shot off the post. ShawnHorcoff gathered in the rebound and sent a backhanded pass across the goalmouth to Goligoski, who scored into the left side of the net. The Stars had a 12-9 advantage in shots, for a two-period total of 28-14. Buffalo tied it when Moulsons shot went over the net but bounced back off the glass to Ennis, who tucked the puck into the lower right corner. The loss ended a season-best three-game winning streak for Buffalo (18-35-8). NOTES: The Stars were 1 for 26 on power plays in their previous seven games. . Eakin left the game with 3 minutes remaining because of an undisclosed injury. . JamieBenn has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in his last 11 games. . Enroth has stopped 101 of 110 shots in his last three games. . In his last four games against Dallas, Moulson has six goals, two assists. Matt Holliday Cardinals Jersey . China defeated Myanmar 3-0 while South Korea blanked Thailand 4-0 at the AFC Womens Asian Cup to secure top-two finishes in the Group B standings. Three more Asian countries will book their World Cup tickets by Wednesday. Oscar Taveras Cardinals Jersey . -- Amid stories about JeremyLin and the upcoming all-star game, the Detroit Pistons have quietly become one of the hottest teams in the NBA.BRASILIA, Brazil -- Cristiano Ronaldos first goal of the World Cup earned Portugal a 2-1 win over Ghana but couldnt prevent his team being eliminated from the tournament along with the Africans on Thursday. Portugal finished level on four points with second-place United States in Group G but with an inferior goal difference. Germany topped the group after beating the U.S. 1-0 in Recife. Ronaldo slammed home the winner at Estadio Nacional with his left foot in the 80th minute to break his drought in Brazil and give Portugal its first win. He barely celebrated, though, with the goal coming too late to help Portugal qualify at the expense of the Americans. "We created many opportunities but we could not finish them," Ronaldo said. "We knew we had to score three goals and were depending on the result of the Germany game and we couldnt do that. "We deserved more, but thats football. We are leaving with our heads held high." Ghana captain Asamaoh Gyans 57th-minute header cancelled out an own goal scored by teammate John Boye in the 31st. It was a bittersweet ending to the World Cup for Ronaldo, who has been nursing a left leg injury and seen the likes of Brazil star Neymar and Argentina captain Lionel Messi upstage him with four goals apiece. The world player of the year earned the man-of-the-match award after a display that could easily have yielded three or four goals. Ronaldo struck the bar in the first half and had two great chances in injury time, but glanced a close-range finish over the bar and then shot straight at Fatawu Dauda when one on one with the goalkeeper. It was too little, too late from Ronaldo, who was downbeat as he trudged off the pitch after the final whistle. The result brought to an end a typically eventful few weeks in Brazil for the Ghanaiaans, who were part of thrilling games against the United States and Germany before their campaign ended in turmoil on and off the pitch. Bob Gibson Authentic Jersey. Their players took to the field in the Brazilian capital amid a dispute with the countrys football federation over alleged unpaid World Cup bonuses. Adding to the chaos, two of the teams star players -- Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng -- were booted out of the squad hours before Thursdays kickoff for disciplinary reasons. "I dont think it had an impact on the game," said Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah, who confirmed that his players received their appearance-fee payments before kickoff as requested. "We had our chances but couldnt take them." It was perhaps no surprise that Ghana delivered its most subdued display of the tournament, ensuring the team finished bottom of the group and resulting in Ronaldo getting time and space to enjoy his most lively performance in Brazil. He could have had a hat trick by the time he finally found the net. An over-hit cross in the fifth minute flew over Dauda and slammed against the bar before the Real Madrid superstar squandered a gilt-edged chance, heading straight at the keeper from six yards (meters) out. After having two stinging shots saved, he was bailed out by Boye, who sliced Miguel Velosos cross into the top corner of his own net to give the Portuguese a halftime lead they just about deserved. Gyan could hardly miss with a header after Kwadwo Asamaohs delicious cross with the outside of his left foot, making it 1-1. With Germany having just taken the lead in Recife, Ghana was only a goal away from progressing at that stage. However, Ronaldo had the final say, making no mistake from eight yards (meters) out after Dauda had parried the ball high into the air. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

Los Angeles, as the A
A meeting between SidneyCrosby and AlexOvechkin is usually big enough on its own. Russell Martin Authentic Jersey . The fact that the Pittsburgh Penguins can post the longest home winning streak in franchise history only adds more intrigue to tonights matchup with the Washington Capitals. Catch all the action live on TSN2at 8pm et/5pm pt. The Penguins return home from a 2-0-1 road trip out west having won 12 straight as the hosting club. That matches the record set between Feb. 22- March 30 of last season. Pittsburgh also comes in well rested, having been off since winning a 2-1 decision in Calgary on Saturday. Marc-AndreFleury came up with 27 saves and both ChrisKunitz and MattNiskanen had goals. The Penguins, who are 6-1-1 in their last eight games, had scored 18 non- shootout goals in their previous four games while allowing 15. "It was nice to have a nice, low-scoring game," said Fleury. "The last few games were a little crazy. We have a lot of guys who can score goals, but if we want to be successful we have to do well defensively." Pittsburgh will play its next three at home, where it has not lost since Nov. 13 and is 19-3-0 this season. The Pens also get some rest after this contest as their next game isnt until Monday versus Florida. Even with the recent days off, Penguins forward JamesNeal is day-to-day and questionable for tonight with an upper-body ailment that has held him out of practice the last two days. Neal has 17 goals and 36 points in 27 games this season and notched a goal and an assist in Pittsburghs 4-0 win over hosting Washington on Nov. 20. Fleury recorded an 18-save shutout, improving to 14-7-2 with a 2.49 goals against average in his career versus the Capitals. Pittsburgh bested Washington for the fifth consecutive game and the Capitals have lost three straight in the Steel City following an eight-game series road win streak. Crosby and PaulMartin also had a goal and an assist in the November victory, while Ovechkin was held to just two shots. Crosby leads the NHL with 67 points and is second with 42 assists. He has logged eight goals and 25 points over a 16-game home point streak and has tallied five goals and 22 points in 12 career home meetings with the Capitals. The former Hart Trophy winner has 45 points in 26 career games versus Washington, while Ovechkin has 22 goals and 40 points in 32 career games against the Penguins. Ovechkin notched his league-leading 33rd goal of the season in last nights 2-1 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks. However, Ovechkin, EricFehr and NicklasBackstrom all failed on their attempts in the tiebreaker, while San Joses PatrickMarleau had the lone shootout goal. "It was a good test for us. A good team. Theyve been together for a long time," said Ovechkin. "I think we had good chances to win the game in (regulation), in the third period, but we got the point." Rookie PhilippGrubauer made 28 saves as he started for the 12th time in Washingtons past 17 games. He is 6-2-5 with a 2.06 GAA and .936 save percentage in 14 games (12 starts) this season. Though Washington has now followed up two straight wins with back-to-back shootout losses, the point moved the Capitals into a tie with Philadelphia for second place in the Metropolitan Division. Both teams trail Pittsburgh by 16 points for the top spot. Washington will play three straight and eight of its next nine on the road, where it is 8-8-4 on the season. BradenHoltby got the start in Washingtons first meeting with Pittsburgh this season, giving up all four goals on 40 shots faced. Dustin McGowan Authentic Jersey . -- Even with a two-shot lead going into the final round of a tournament he had won five times, TigerWoods expected a fight to finish from ZachJohnson. Paul Molitor Authentic Jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two.(SportsNetwork.com) - MelkyCabrera tries to continue his torrid start to the season on Wednesday when the Toronto Blue Jays resume a three-game set with the Houston Astros at Rogers Centre. Cabrera homered for the fourth straight game in Tuesdays opener and Toronto rolled, 5-2. DionerNavarro went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI and EdwinEncarnacion went 1-for-1 with three walks and two runs scored for the Blue Jays, who evened their record at 4-4. Toronto starter MarkBuehrle (2-0), who punched out 11 batters in his season debut against Tampa Bay, tossed 5 1/3 innings on Tuesday, allowing eight hits and one run with three strikeouts and a walk. "Im not striking out 11, Im not going to strikeout 11 guys in my next five starts combined," said Buehrle. "I need my defense behind me." BrettOberholtzer (0-2) absorbed the loss for the Astros and surrendered three runs on three hits with three walks and three strikeouts in 5 1/3 frames. "I thought he did a good job keeping us in the ball game," said Astros manager BoPorter on Oberholtzer. "Those last two walks in the sixth really hurt us. We had our opportunities. We had men on base with less than two outs. When you get in those situations you have to capitalize." Cabrera managed just three home runs all of lasst season, a year that saw him miss time with leg injuries before having a benign tumor removed from his spine Aug. Colby Rasmus Jersey. 30. With another home run on Wednesday Cruz would become the first Blue Jay to homer in five straight games since Jose Cruz Jr. went deep in six in a row Sept. 29-Oct. 5, 2001. "I feel 100 percent now and Im ready to go. Its good. I dont have any pain now," said Cabrera. Hoping to slow him down will be righty LucasHarrell, who picked up right where he left off last season in his initial start of the season. Harrell lost a league-high 17 games a year ago and started his 2014 campaign off with a loss on Friday to Los Angeles, as the Angels battered him for five runs and seven hits in just three innings. "Its over with and on to the next start," Harrell said. "Ill get better for my next start." Toronto, meanwhile, will counter with right-hander BrandonMorrow, who lost to Tampa Bay his first time out. Morrow surrendered four runs and seven hits in five innings of that one. "It was just one of those things where you think you threw better than the end results," Morrow said. Toronto was 4-3 against the Astros last season. On Wednesday afternoon, the Jays optioned pitcher Marcus Walden to Triple-A Buffalo and recalled pitcher NeilWagner. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

NHL linesmen have been instructed to stop a fight when the participants opt to remove their helmets prior to swapping blows. Jeremy Guthrie Authentic Jersey . This isnt a rule change, simply a common sense approach to encourage players to protect their head at all times. There is nothing formal about this strategy. It was implemented shortly after the preseason where it became evident players werent concerned about the additional two-minute penalty for removing their helmets to fight...even though the rule was introduced entirely for player safety. Linesmen now have the authority to step in, when it is safe to do so, and stop a fight when the combatants purposely take off their helmets. The first clear example of this occured Tuesday night in Montreal when linesmen Steve Barton and Michel Cormier stepped in between Montreals TravisMoen and Edmontons LukeGazdic seconds after they dumped their helmets to scrap. Both players received unsportsmanlike minors rather than fighting majors. Good communication between the two officials in Montreal allowed them to act quickly, however, this type of interruption will be handled on a case-by-case basis, meaning there will be fights where its either unsafe for the officials to intervene, or timing wont allow it. The leagues officiating department is hoping the buzz created by their actions at the Bell Centre will discourage other players from continuing to intentionally break a rule.

If Mike Babcock does not keep coaching the Red Wings after his contract expires following next season, the Red Wings can potentially promote Blashill to lead their NHL franchise.

In a meeting of two struggling teams, Wes Hoolan steered the ball home from Gary Hoopers cutback to put the visitors ahead after just three minutes. But Benteke smashed in an equalizer in the 25th minute and then nodded home his second just two minutes later. "Christians first goal set the tone for what was to happen, and his goal was brill," Villa manager Paul Lambert said. "As soon as he scored that goal, his whole game changed, and there is no doubt when he is at it he is an absolutte handful. Billy Butler Jersey. " Leandra Bacuna added the third off the base of the post after Gabriel Agbonlahor surged away on the break and Norwichs first-half misery was complete when defender Sebastien Bassong turned Fabian Delphs cross into his own net just before the break. Norwich settled down in the second half, but never looked like turning the game around. While Villa moved seven points clear of the danger, Norwich is four points above the drop zone. "Its a low point at the moment because we came into the game in good form, so this is a real hammer blow," Norwich manager Chris Hughton said. "But you have to assess, and we werent good enough." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

CHICAGO -- The Pittsburgh Penguins were wrapping up practice Friday when TannerGlass grabbed an iPad mini and skated around the temporary rink in the middle of Soldier Field. Billy Williams Cubs Jersey . The 30-year-old Canadian forward smiled as he captured the chilly scene, which took him all the way back to when he first learned to skate at his grandparents farm. "As I grew up, there was an outdoor rink right beside by the main rink," said Glass, a native of Regina, Saskatchewan. "So even tournaments, wed have our real game inside and then wed all just take half our gear off and run across to the outdoor rink and play all day. It reminds me of that and kind of the good old days." Yup, these outdoor games still have an allure for NHL players, especially when they involve two of the best teams in the league. The league gets a marquee prime-time finish for its successful Stadium Series when SidneyCrosby and the Penguins take on JonathanToews and the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night at the home of the NFLs Chicago Bears. "Youve got two pretty fast, skilled hockey teams and if the ice can kind of agree with everyone I think that would make for a pretty good product out there," Crosby said. The forecast calls for light snow and temperatures in the teens, but each team has some experience with the pratfalls of playing outside. Chicago lost 6-4 to rival Detroit in the 2009 Winter Classic at Wrigley Field. Crosby had the winning shootout goal when visiting Pittsburgh beat Buffalo 2-1 in the first Winter Classic in 2008, but the Penguins lost 3-1 to Washington when they hosted the 2011 game at Heinz Field. Now the Blackhawks and Penguins return to the great outdoors for their first meeting since Pittsburghs 3-2 victory on Dec. 20, 2011. Its their first game in Chicago since PatrickKane had the only shootout goal in the Blackhawks 3-2 win on Feb. 20 of that year. While scheduling and the leagues most recent labour dispute have kept the teams apart, the players are plenty familiar with one another. Team captains Crosby and Toews face off for the first time in an NHL regular-season game after leading Canada to the gold medal in the Sochi Olympics last weekend. Crosby, Toews and Penguins forward ChrisKunitz scored in their countrys 3-0 victory in the final against Sweden, which included MarcusKruger, JohnnyOduya and NiklasHjalmarsson of the Blackhawks. Penguins coach DanBylsma got a chance to see Kane up close when he was behind the bench for Team USA in Russia. "Ive learned quite a bit about his competitiveness," Bylsma said. "You kind of see the smile. Its certainly a ton of skill how he plays the game, but I was impressed by it and learned just the competitiveness that he has and brings to the game. Skill-wise you see it live." The first NHL game at Soldier Field also features two teams in need of a win. The Penguins are coming off a 6-5 shootout loss to Montreal, while the Blackhawks lost 2-1 at the New York Rangers on Thursday night. Chicago, which almost tied the game against the Rangers in the final seconds, is playing its first game in the Windy City since Jan. 26. "Everybody is excited for Saturday," centre PeterRegin, who scored the only goal against New York, said Thursday night. "Obviously we were hoping to get a different outcome tonight, but we play in two days. That is the good thing about the NHL, you play every second night, so its not so long before you can redeem yourself." Carl Yastrzemski Red Sox Jersey .

The 34-year-old Babin is expected to be a pass-rushing specialist. He was wearing No. 58 on Friday and listed as a linebacker, though he has also played defensive end. Babin signed Thursday after agreeing to terms Wednesday, shortly before the team reported for training camp at SUNY Cortland. Rollie Fingers Padres Jersey. Babin had a team-leading 7 1/2 sacks last season for Jacksonville and was released in the off-season. He has 62 1/2 career sacks in 10 NFL seasons, including a personal-best 18 in 2011 with Philadelphia. He was a first-round draft pick by Houston out of Western Michigan in 2004 and also has played for Seattle, Kansas City and Tennessee. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

The red-hot Toronto Blue Jays take aim at their seventh straight win on Monday when they open a three-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays at Rogers Centre.MENS NIKE AIR MAX 87 SHOES BLACK/WHITE/YELLOW . Toronto has moved two games up on the New York Yankees in the American League East and is atop the division this late into a season for the first time since July 6, 2000. The Jays enter this matchup on the heels of an impressive three-game sweep of the AL West-leading Oakland Athletics. On Sunday, J.A.Happ tossed seven shutout innings, JoseBautista knocked in two runs and Toronto rolled, 3-1. Happ (4-1) scattered four hits, walked three and struck out seven, and EdwinEncarnacion homered in the Blue Jays ninth win in 10 tries. "Were playing together as a team, pitching good," Blue Jays shortstop JoseReyes said. "Good defense behind the guys, timely hitting, winning teams do that kind of stuff." The Blue Jays lead the majors with 70 home runs and have homered in eight straight contests. They havent homered in nine consecutive contests since April 27-May 5, 2012. One player who wouldnt mind a few longballs on Monday is righty DrewHutchison, wholl be shooting for his third straight win. Hutchison followed up his first-ever shutout by beating the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday to improve to 3-3 with a 3.45 ERA. Hutchison has split two starts versus the Rays, pitching to a 5.79 ERA in those meetings. Tampa, meanwhile, will counter with veteran lefty ErikBedard, who is 2-2 with a 2.63 ERA. Bedard has filled in nicely for the Rays in the wake of injuries to MattMoore and JeremyHellickson and is 2-1 with a 0.96 ERA over his last five starts. Bedard, though, absorbed the loss to Oakland on Wednesday, as he surrendered three runs (1 earned) and just one hit - a home run - over 5 1/3 innings. He also walked three batters. Tampa comes into Mondays opener playing its best baseball of the season as well. The Rays swept the Boston Red Sox over the weekend and have won four in a row. Tampa completed the sweep on Sunday, as SeanRodriguezs three-run, pinch-hit homer helped power a five-run seventh inning, and Tampa Bay sent the Red Sox to their 10th consecutive loss with an 8-5 decision. EvanLongoria went 3-for-5 with a homer and a pair of runs scored, and YunelEscobar drove in two while setting off a benches-clearing incident late in the contest. The contentious victory was also Joe Maddons 700th as Rays manager. JoelPeralta (2-3), who blew a two-run lead in the seventh but was rescued by the Tampa offense, was credited with the win. Leading by five in the seventh, Escobar stole third and the Red Sox bench started jawing at him from the dugout. He talked back and started walking toward their bench, before Johnny Gomes ran in from left field and both benches cleared. Gomes, Escobar and Rodriguez were all ejected after the incident. "What was the score, 8-3? It was a five-run lead in the seventh inning. So thats not even nearly as egregious as last year in the playoffs," Maddon said of the incident. Tampa has split four games with the Jays this season. WOMENS NIKE AIR MAX 87 SHOES BLACK/YELLOW/GREEN . EdwinEncarnacion hit two of Torontos season-high five home runs as the Blue Jays capped a two-game mini-sweep of Philadelphia by outscoring the Phillies 12-6 on Thursday at Rogers Centre. WOMENS NIKE AIR MAX 2015 SHOES ORANGE/FLUORESCENT GREEN . - Phil Macks penalty kick with no time remaining completed a remarkable comeback Sunday as Canada defeated Samoa 22-19 to finish third at the USA Sevens its best ever finish at an IRB Sevens rugby event.NEW YORK -- Since Affirmed swept the last Triple Crown in 1978, Victor Espinoza is the only jockey to get two cracks at winning the elusive title again. Both times hes left empty. It was War Emblem in 2002. On Saturday, it was California Chromes turn to lose the Belmont after capturing the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. "We reached almost to the top," Espinoza said. "Just one step away to get to the top." California Chrome finished in a dead heat for fourth, a disappointment to bettors who made him the 4-5 favourite. The Belmont was the third tough race in a short five-week span. His tank was empty. "As soon as he came out of the gate he wasnt the same," Espinoza said. Espinoza, 41, was once a bus driver in his native Mexico City. He has won riding titles at four Southern California tracks, winning over 3,000 races and earning $169 million in purses. With history on the line, the rider did his best to nurse California Chrome through the 1 1/2-mile race. Espinoza kept him on the rail in the early stages. On the final turn, with time running out, Espinoza shifted California Chrome outside to light a spark. "By five eighths pole (the top of the turn) he was empty," the jockey said. "I tried to move out to see if iit would make a difference. MENS NIKE AIR MAX 90 ESSENTIAL TRAINING SHOES RED/WHITE/GREY. ." Not with a tired horse. "I was just waiting for to have the same kick like he always had before," Espinoza said. "Today he was a bit flat down the lane. He ran back-to-back races at different tracks, and against those fresh horses." At least this time, California Chrome got to run his race. War Emblem was a different kind of horse, a confirmed front runner who had to have it his way to be effective. War Emblem stumbled at the start of the Belmont. Espinoza got him back into the race but playing catchup was not War Emblems game. He finished eighth. Jockeys rarely get a chance for Triple Crown redemption. Espinoza was handed one when California Chrome launched a six-race winning streak the moment they teamed up. It was a magical run that started in races restricted to horses bred in California. It picked up momentum in the Santa Anita Derby and crashed the national stage in the Derby and the Preakness. In every win, California Chrome proved responsive to every command by Espinoza. They won on the lead. They came from just off the pace. "The last time I had been here, I stumbled," Espinoza said. "Today I dont feel bad. California Chrome was just empty today." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

MELBOURNE, Australia - Milos Raonic advanced into the second week of the Australian Open for the third time in five years on Saturday. Alex Gordon Jersey . Fellow Canadian Vasek Pospisil did not. Raonic was always in control as he won comfortably against Germanys Benjamin Becker 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 while Pospisil was beaten 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 by Spaniard Guillermo Garcia Lopez. Becker, who eliminated Australian Lleyton Hewitt in the previous round, was no match for 22 aces off the racquet of the eighth seed from Thornhill, Ont. It took the winner four match points to see off Becker with a break in the last game. Becker saved the first three Raonic winning chances before the Canadian went through from Beckers double-fault. Raonic took victory with 46 winners, 19 unforced errors while breaking on five of 14 opportunities. Raonic will next face 12th-seeded Feliciano Lopez of Spain, who beat Polands Jerzy Janowicz 7-6 (8-6), 6-4, 7-6 (7-3). Im happy with how Im playing, said Raonic, who played and won on the third showcase court, the Hisense arena. I cant complain, everything has been working for me on this court and the results have been good. My game feels great and Im having a lot of fun. I look forward to going on. Vancouvers Pospisil had been bidding to join Raonic by reaching the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time. But the fitness factor came into play for the No. 60, who had suffered in his previous win on Thursday and withdrew after just nine minutes of doubles on Friday. The Canadian came to the court depleted, committing 40 unforced errors and breaking only one of six times. Pospisil dropped the first two sets but staged a minor rally in the third set, firing off two love games for a 2-1 lead before being overhauled by his Spanish opponent. The Canadian saved a match point before going down to the loss as Garcia Lopez backhand sailed a winner past him down the line. Raonics victory in 101 minutes improved his record over the 41st-ranked Becker to 3-1. Raonic, who played the Wimbledon semifinals last summer, won his 13th career match in Melbourne against four losses. Raonic was never threatened by his journeyman opponent, winning each of the first two sets in 30 minutes. Raonic claimed the opener with a break in the final game with a forehand winner to the corner past Becker. The second set also featured only one break, with Raonic converting for a 4-2 lead. Two games later, Raonic set up two set points with an ace only to double-fault the first chance away. But his 17th ace solved the problem on the second opportunity as he earned a two-sets-to-love lead. In the third set, Raonic broke in the fifth game and climbed to 5-3 before closing it out.

Marie Levasseur and Sarah Kinzner scored for the Canadians in a 3-2 quarter-final loss to Venezuela on Thursday. The Canadians were hoping to make history as the first Canada side to make the semifinals at the U-17 event. "They outperformed what was expected of them in a very tough group and tried to play a brand of football that were trying to develop throughout our system," Priestman said. Deyna Castellanos, Yosneidy Zambrano and Lourdes Moreno scored for the Venezuelans at the 35,000-seat Nacional Stadium. Castellanos opened scoring in the seventh minute, before goals by Kinzner, in the 19th, and Levasseur, in the 40th, gave the Canadians a 2-1 lead. Zambrano scored the equalizer two minutes before halftime, then Moreno put Veenezuela ahead for good in the 62nd minute. Lorenzo Cain Authentic Jersey. "The girls are obviously very disappointed at the moment, but to be fair to them Venezuela really counter-attacked to make it difficult," Priestman said. "You attack but then you lose the ball and youve got to quickly defend." In the preliminary round, Canada played perennial powerhouse Germany to a 2-2 draw before tying 2012 runners-up North Korea 1-1. The Canadians finished the preliminary round by toppling Ghana 2-1. Venezuela went undefeated through the opening round and hadnt conceded a goal until Kinzners. This was the youngest side Canada has fielded at the tournament. Priestman said she expects some of the players to continue to represent Canada in 2016, at either the under-17 World Cup in Jordan or the under-20 tournament in South Africa. "I expect to see quite a few of the players move up the system this summer in Canada," she said. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

CLEVELAND - The Oakland Athletics showed off their offensive prowess all weekend at Progressive Field. BLACK/PINK WOMENS NIKE AIR MAX 87 SHOES . Sundays 13-3 win gave Oakland a three-game sweep over slumping Cleveland, a series in which the Athletics outscored the Indians 30-6. YoenisCespedes drove in a career-high five runs and BrandonMoss had three RBIs to pace Oaklands offence that began with an eight-run second inning Friday night and never let up. "I would just use the word confident," Moss said of his teams offence. "Everybodys going up there and taking good swings. We have guys who put together some good at-bats who have some pop. That usually leads to runs." The Athletics, who have won nine of 10, saved their best for the final game, pounding out 12 hits, including seven doubles, and drawing nine walks. Cespedes two-run double was the key hit in Oaklands four-run fifth. He also drove in two runs with another double in the eighth. Moss was 3 for 3 with two walks and scored four runs. He had an RBI double in the fifth, a two-run double in the sixth and a triple in the second. JohnJasos RBI double in the fourth put Oakland ahead for good while JoshDonaldson, who drove in seven runs in the series, had an RBI single in the fifth and scored four runs. "All the guys we rely on to knock in runs are doing exactly what theyre supposed to do," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "Thats when were at our best." JesseChavez (4-1) gave up solo homers to MichaelBourn in the first and MichaelBrantley in the fifth, accounting for both runs the right-hander allowed in five innings. Cleveland has dropped four straight and six of eight. The Indians scored first in all three games, but were no match for Oakland, which leads the AL West with a 28-16 record. Indians manager Terry Francona is impressed with the Athletics. "They got it working right now," he said. "They have good starting pitching, theyve got a very good bullpen and they are swinging it from one through nine." JustinMasterson (2-3) allowed seven runs, seven hits and five walks in 4 1-3 innings. Francona moved NickSwisher and CarlosSantana, who have battled season-long slumps, down in the batting order, but the changes didnt help the struggling offence, which has scored three runs or fewer 24 times in 44 games. Santana, moved from cleanup to seventh, was hitless in four at-bats while Swisher, switched from second to sixth, was 0 for 5 and committed an error in the seventh. Swisher fielded a routine grounder to end the inning and was given a sarcastic cheer by the small crowd of 14,872. Third baseman LonnieChisenhall also had an error, giving the Indians a major-league high 45. Bourn led off the game with a home run to centre that landed in Clevelands bullpen, but the lead didnt last long. Moss started the second with a triple. Chisenhall fielded Cespedes ground ball and his throw landed in the camera bay behind first base. Cespedes was given an RBI. Masterson walked Donaldson and Moss to start the fourth. Jasos one-out double put Oakland ahead and JoshReddick followed with a single for a 3-1 lead. Oakland put the game away in the fifth, stringing together four hits and a walk off Masterson. Following Donaldsons RBI single, Moss drove in a run with a double and Cespedes double scored two more. Jaso and Reddick also drove in two runs apiece. "Obviously, we got a lot of guys on base this series," Donaldson said. "From top to bottom, we had guys having really good at-bats." Oakland shortstop JedLowrie left the game in the second inning because of a strained neck and was replaced by NickPunto. NOTES: The Athletics announced following the game they claimed LHP JeffFrancis off waivers from Cincinnati and he will join the team for its series at the Rays that begins Tuesday. ... LHP JoeSavery, who was expected to go on the paternity list, was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento instead. He pitched two scoreless innings Sunday. SS JakeElmore (strained left quad) has been moved to the 60-day disabled list. ... 2B EricSogard was removed in the eighth inning after fouling a ball off his knee. ... Melvin said LHP ScottKazmir, ejected in the second inning Saturday, will likely stay on his regular turn and start Friday in Toronto.

Krasnaya Polyana, Russia (SportsNetwork. Greg Robinson Rams Jersey .com) - Anton Kushnir of Belarus won gold in the mens aerials Monday at the Sochi Games, claiming his countrys second straight Olympic title in the freestyle skiing event. Belarusian skier Alexei Grishin, who won gold four years ago in Vancouver, failed to even make it to the three-round final before his compatriot Kushnir made it two straight Olympic aerials titles for the country. Kushnir had the highest-scoring jump of the day in his third attempt of the final round. His gold-winning jump earned a score of 134.50 from the judges to easily outpace silver medalist David Morris of Australia. Grishins aerials win in 2010 marked the first-ever gold medal for Belarus at the Winter Games, but the country has earned five golds in Sochi. Darya Domracheva has claimed three gold in womens biathlon and Alla Tsuper took the Olympic title in the womens aerials. The finals began with 12 skiers before the field was whittled to eight after the first jump. Only four skiers make it to the third and final jump. Morris final jump earned a mark of 110.41 and Chinas Jia Zongyang was third with a score of 95.06. Jias countryman Qi Guangpu finished fourth. All three skiers to make the podium in Tuesdays event were first-time Olympic medalists. After earning the last of 12 spots for the finals, American skier Mac Bohonnon was the seventh of eight skiers to move into the second jump of the finals. He had a score of 105.21 to reach the final eight, but Bohonnon failed to qualify for the third jump. The 18-year-old was fifth in the second round with a score of 113.72, leaving him 1.33 points shy of the fourth berth in the last round. Bohonnon was the lone American in the field. Jeret Peterson, who claimed silver for the U.S. in Vancouver, tragically killed himself less than 18 months after competing in 2010. Travis Gerrits was the only representative for Canada and he finished in seventh place after Bohonnon and Oleksandr Abramenko of Ukraine.Corey Liuget Chargers Jersey . Ausmus says he realized his words were insensitive and in poor taste as soon as they left his mouth. The first-year manager was asked after Detroits 2-1 loss to Kansas City on Wednesday how his mood is when he heads home from the ballpark these days. Robert Quinn Rams Jersey . Langer appeared to be in trouble when his second shot on the par-5 18th ended up in the rough short of the green. He hit a brilliant pitch to 5 feet and made the putt after Slumans birdie attempt rolled just wide.With a 2-0 series lead squandered, Colorado Avalanche head coach PatrickRoy couldnt be more blunt about his teams performance going into Game 5 of their Western Conference first-round series with the Minnesota Wild. "Were right there with them," he told reporters on Friday. "Now its time, sorry about the words, to put our balls on the table." The Wild went home from Denver down two games in their series against the Avalanche and - following solid starts from goaltender DarcyKuemper - theyre leaving St. Paul with the series even at 2-2. CharlieCoyle and JaredSpurgeon each scored once while Kuemperheld the fortto send the Wild to a 2-1 victory over the Avs in Game 4 on Thursday. The Avalanche struggled offensively during their two games in Minnesota, scoring just one goal and firing just 12 shots on Kuemper in Game 4. Colorado has been outshot 78-34 in the lasst two games, with RyanOReilly getting the lone goal. Carlos Hyde 49ers Jersey. "Im not happy about that," Roy added. "Lets not kid ourselves. We know we can do better and we will. Theres always adjustments...one other thing, their goalie did a good job not giving too many rebounds. Plus, we missed the net too many times. Sometimes in the playoffs, you need to put the puck on the net with the purpose of getting a rebound." The Avalanche went 0-for-8 on the power play over the last two games and is 1-for-15 in the series, but Roy warned that such challenges are natural for a young team that isnt even a Stanley Cup contender. "We need to be patient with our group," he explained. "This is a young team. This is a team that, lets not forget, finished 29th last year. These are huge steps and this is a learning process." The series returns to Denver for Game 5 on Saturday. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |

NEWCASTLE, Australia -- Anthony Mundine of Australia defeated Mexican fighter Rigoberto Alvarez in a unanimous points decision to claim the WBA interim world light-middleweight title Wednesday. Mitchell and Ness Buffalo Bills Jersey . Mundine (43-4, 25 KOs) rarely looked troubled by Alvarez (27-4, 20 KOs) throughout the 12 rounds, winning the bout 114-113, 117-111, 117-111 on the judges scorecards. After some early flurries from Alvarez, Mundine took control of the fight, dictating the pace and keeping his opponent under pressure. Mundine used his powerful right to attack a wound above Alvarezs left eye, which opened up during a barrage of blows in the fourth round. Mundine, 36, is now a prospect for a world title fight against undefeated American Austin Trout.

Williams ruptured his left pectoral muscle tendon during Thursdays win over the New York Giants. Coach Marc Trestman was not sure on Friday how the injury occurred. Williams, signed in the off-season to help replace BrianUrlacher, left in the third quarter, the latest injury for a defence thats had its share. The Bears visit Washington next week, and with Williams out, rookie Jonathan Bostic figures to start in his place. Season-ending knee injuries to defensive tackle HenryMelton and his replacement NateCollins, not to mention a turf toe injury thats kept StephenPaea out of the past two games, have forced Chicago to do some major shuffling in the interior. CoreyWootton had to move inside from defensive end and JuliusPeppers has been seeing time there, too. Besides those issues, Pro Bowl cornerback CharlesTillman has dealt with groin and right knee problems in recent weeks. The knee issue kept him out of Thursdays game, although Trestman said he would have been able to play if the game was on Sunday. Even when the Bears were healthy, they had some issues on defence, particularly with their pass rush. They rank 30th in the league with eight sacks. JuliusPeppers hasnt dominated the way he did in the past, and hes not getting much help from the rest of the line. Now, theyre trying to fill major gaps in the lineup, and the list just grew again with Williams injury. "Were not making excuses, but again, were sitting there without Charles," Trestman said. "Were sitting there without Stephen. Weve got some young guys in there working. They havent worked (with) Peppers. They havent worked with Sheea (McClellin) as much. Pat Tillman Throwback Jersey. Corey is inside, working inside. But I do believe that just experience-wise, playing 36 minutes (against New Orleans) and the type of game we played on Sunday did have a residual effect on our defence last night." As for Williams, he started four of the six games he played and had 35 tackles and two sacks. In 10 seasons with Denver and Chicago, he has 921 tackles, 22 1/2 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries and two interceptions. He was getting sort of a second chance when he signed a one-year deal with Chicago in March after missing nine games with Denver last season while serving a pair of league-mandated suspensions. The Broncos released him on the eve of free agency, freeing them of his $6 million salary. He served a six-game punishment for violating the leagues policy on performance enhancing drugs and three games for an alcohol-related arrest in 2010 that led to a conviction in August 2012. In Chicago, he had some major shoes to fill. The Bears were moving on after parting ways with Urlacher, the eight-time Pro Bowl pick and longtime face of the franchise. Complicating matters for Williams, he did not play in the preseason because of a calf injury. That created opportunities for Bostic, who showed some promise. Now, hell have a bigger role. "Hes going to get a lot of work on Monday and during the week," Trestman said. "Its the next-man-up mentality and I think hes mentally ready to take on playing that position. The experience that he had will certainly help him down the road." The injury news wasnt all bad for the Bears. Trestman said strong side linebacker JamesAnderson should be OK after hurting his back against the Giants. "Theres nothing serious there," Trestman said. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |
