VANCOUVER - Kadeisha Buchanan impressed in her last outing for Canada and she will likely get another chance when the womens national team takes the field next week. Olivier Vernon Dolphins Jersey . The 18-year-old from Toronto was named to Canadas roster for a friendly on June 18 against Germany after the defender scored her first goal for her country in last months 1-1 draw with the United States in Winnipeg. There are only a handful of changes to the Canadian squad that suited up that night as veteran defenders Emily Zurrer and Marie-Eve Nault make their return along with forward Christina Julien. The game in Vancouver against Germany is part of Canadas preparations as the host country for next years womens World Cup. "If you want to win a World Cup at home, youre going to have to beat these teams. Youre going to find them on your road to the finals somewhere," Canadian head coach John Herdman said in a release. "The more we can learn about those teams and learn about ourselves with those teams, its only going to put us in better stead." Germany, which is ranked second in the world behind the U.S., beat Canada 1-0 last year in another friendly. "When we played them in Germany we had an experimental squad with a different way of playing," said Herdman, whose team is ranked seventh. "We were developing and this year were trying to improve and to get closer to where its going to look like when were in a World Cup." The Canadian roster that will try to beat the Germans for the first time also includes: goalkeepers Karina LeBlanc and Erin McLeod; defenders Robyn Gayle, Carmelina Moscato, Rebecca Quinn, Rhian Wilkinson and Sura Yekka; midfielders Kaylyn Kyle, Diana Matheson, Sophie Schmidt, Desiree Scott, Jessie Fleming, Ashley Lawrence and Brittany Baxter; and forwards Jonelle Filigno, Adriana Leon, Christine Sinclair and Josee Belanger.Rishard Matthews Black Friday Jersey .

Raburn hit a tiebreaking single and David�Murphy drove in four runs, leading the Indians to a 12-6 victory over the White Sox. Rishard Matthews Jersey . An excellent start from Drew�Hutchison and the return of Jose�Bautista helped provide a little breathing room in the divisional race while ending a three-game losing skid at the same time.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Matt�Prater missed practice all week with the flu and the Denver Broncos kept him away from the rest of the team so he didnt get everyone else sick. "We sent him home," coach John Fox said after Saturdays practice in 54-degree weather and sunshine. "Hes going to be fine for the game. Hopefully hell feel much better tomorrow morning as we prepare to fly to New Jersey." Fox said he didnt think Prater would be infectious by Sundays flight. "Guys do get sick, just like any household in America," Fox said. "We feel confident hell be fine shortly." Prater, who was chosen for the Pro Bowl this season, missed all three of the teams practices this week as the Broncos prepare for the Super Bowl against Seattle on Feb. 2 at MefLife Stadium. PPrater was a big part of Denvers record-setting 606-point regular season, converting 25 of 26 field goals and all 75 PATs in the regular season. Bob Griese Black Friday Jersey. In the playoffs, hes 5-for-5 on field goals and PATs. His only miss was a 52-yard field goal attempt at Kansas City on Dec. 1 that sailed wide left. Theres no way the long layoff will hurt him, holder Britton�Colquitt said. "Hes the best there is and his first kick next week isnt going to look like he missed all of this week," Colquitt said. "Guys dont have to practice every day to do their thing. So, hes just going to get better. Im sure hell have an opportunity to make a difference in the game, too." Prater kicked an NFL record 64-yard field goal in icy weather in Denver on Dec. 8 against Tennessee. ' ' '

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Anze Kopitar Black Friday Jersey . -- With interim coach John Loyer hoarsely shouting instructions, Brandon�Jennings and the Detroit Pistons ran away from the San Antonio Spurs in the third quarter. Jennings finished with 21 points, and the Pistons beat San Antonio 109-100 on Monday night in Loyers first game at the helm. Detroit abruptly fired Maurice Cheeks on Sunday after only 50 games as coach, but although theyve been unimpressive for the most part this season, the Pistons have played better lately. The comfortable win over the Spurs was Detroits fifth in seven games. "I told them it was going to be an emotional day," Loyer said. "I told them I thought we can play, collectively, for longer periods of time better than we have." Rodney�Stuckey scored 20 points for the Pistons, and Greg�Monroe added 15 points and 10 rebounds. Marco�Belinelli led the Spurs with 20 points. Detroit pulled even with Charlotte for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, and the Pistons have shown flashes recently of the potential they thought theyd have this season. After signing Josh�Smith and trading for Jennings in the off-season, Detroit is barely ahead of last seasons pace in terms of wins and losses. Jennings has been terrific lately, though. After scoring 35 points with 12 assists Saturday against Denver, he orchestrated another strong offensive effort Monday. San Antonio, meanwhile, turned the ball over eight times in the third quarter, when Detroit pushed its lead from 11 to 20. The Spurs finished with 19 turnovers, giving the Pistons all the help they would need. "We lost the game because we probably played the worst defence weve played all season, especially in the first half," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "We didnt bring it mentally or physically, and the Pistons did." Loyers sideline demeanour was quite a change from Cheeks more calm approach. At one point, Loyer came all the way across midcourt to give instructions as the Pistons were trying to hold on. "Theyre both two different coaches," Jennings said. "One is loud, the other one is kind of laid back. Theyre both great guys -- especially Cheeks. Hes like a father figure to me, so hes definitely going to be missed. But this is the NBA, so I know how that goes." The Pistons went on a 12-2 run in the third to take a 73-52 lead, then added a few more highlights later in that quarter. Smith threw down a one-handed dunk after a turnover by San Antonio, and Jennings made a layup after Detroits Andre�Drummond blocked Aron�Baynes shot emphatically off the glass. Jennings missed from the perimeter, then stole the ball near midcourt and went in for a three-point play to make it 84-62. "I told the guys today, just when we were in the locker room, Im so proud of them," Loyer said. "I only thought there was about a three-minute period where they showed more energy, more determination than us. You show determination, hustle for 45 of the 48 minutes, youre going to be pretty successful most nights." San Antonio is in the midst of a nine-game road swing. Belinelli was back after dealing with back spasms, but the Spurs were without Manu�Ginobili (left hamstring) and Kawhi�Leonard (right hand). The Pistons went on a 15-4 run in the second quarter, capped by a 3-pointer by Jennings that put them ahead 57-45. "They played hard," San Antonios Danny�Green said. "They wanted to play with some passion and they got loose balls." NOTES: The Pistons have won five straight at home after starting 7-15 at The Palace. ... After Cheeks firing, Popovich was asked about the key to his longevity with the Spurs. "I have information on everybody," he joked. "And Ive threatened everybody Ill let it out unless they keep me as long as I want to stay." ... Ginobili has joined the Spurs on this road trip, but hes not expected to play until after the All-Star break. Max Pacioretty Black Friday Jersey . A CFL source told TSNs Matthew Scianitti that Smith will re-sign with the Toronto Argonauts. Jonathan Toews Black Friday Jersey .S. Cellular Field on Saturday night, hell not only be returning to where his career began. DAYTON, Ohio -- Dont get discouraged, coach Cuonzo Martin told his Volunteers during those long NCAA tournament timeouts. Instead, hang in there and figure a way to pull it out. They went about it a most improbable way. With forward Jarnell Stokes using his 280 pounds to dominate inside and a highly regarded defence finally locking in, Tennessee pulled off the first amazing comeback of the NCAA tournament. Stokes opened overtime with a three-point play that put Tennessee ahead to stay, and the Volunteers defence shut down Iowa in overtime for a 78-65 victory on Wednesday night, finishing off the First Four with an exclamation point. "I told our guys weve been through everything this season, keep your composure down the stretch," said Martin, who got his first NCAA tournament win in his third season at Tennessee. "Find ways to win the ball game." The Vols (22-12) head to Raleigh, N.C., where theyll play sixth-seeded Massachusetts on Friday in the Midwest Regional. They left Dayton with a lot of momentum -- six wins in their last seven games. "We did a tremendous job toward the end of fighting back," said Jordan McRae, who had 20 points. "We did a great job on our defence. For us to hold them like we did was a great job." Tennessee didnt lead until Antonio Bartons 3-pointer put the Vols up 59-57 with 3:05 left regulation. There were five lead changes before McRae missed a jumper missed at the buzzer, leaving it tied at 64. No surprise that Barton made the big shot. The senior transfer is the only Volunteer with any significant NCAA tournament experience, having appeared in three of them with Memphis. Stokes three-point play in overtime was the key moment in his 18-point, 13-rebound performance, putting the Volunteers ahead to stay. It was his 20th double-double this season, the most by a Volunteer since Bernard King had 22 of them in 1976-77. Tennessees highly regarded defence took it from there, holding Iowa (21-13) to one free throw the rest of the way. The Hawkeyes missed all eight of their shots from the field in overtime. "You go tthrough anything so often -- being in those games, being in those situations -- were a much better team the last eight games," Martin said. James Van Riemsdyk Black Friday Jersey. "Guys stepped up and made plays." It was a tough ending to a long and stressful day for Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. He started the day in Iowa with his teenage son, Patrick, who had surgery to remove a thyroid tumour. His assistant coaches led the Hawkeyes through a meeting and their final practice, and McCaffery was back by game time. Martin and the Volunteers hugged him after the game and wished him well. "Their players hugged me and told me they were thinking of me," McCaffery said. "I was really impressed with their guys and the program Cuonzo has built there." Adam Woodbury had 16 points for Iowa, which got a subpar performance from its leading scorer. Roy Devyn Marble was only 3 of 15 from the field for seven points, matching his season low. "I dont think we ran out of gas," Woodbury said. "We made some key mistakes down the stretch and that hurt us." The ending will sting the Hawkeyes for a long time. They were struggling as they headed into their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2006, losing six of their previous seven games. Defence was the biggest problem, often letting them down in the second half. They opened the game in promising fashion, switching from man-to-man to zone to half-court traps. It worked. They got off to a 16-4 lead and were still ahead 29-26 at halftime. They kept swatting away the Volunteers runs until the last few minutes of regulation. Marbles basket tied it at 64, and he was guarding McCrae when he missed his fade-away shot at the buzzer sending it to overtime. Tennessee got an at-large bid by closing the season with a defensive flourish. The Volunteers won five straight before losing to No. 1 Florida 56-49 in the Southeastern Conference tournament. They gave up 61.1 points per game, second only to Florida in the SEC, and allowed an average of only 47.4 points in the last four games. In overtime, that defence decided it. ' ' '

PARIS -- Dimitar Berbatov joined Monaco from Fulham on Friday in the latest chapter of the mercurial forwards career on an otherwise quiet final day of the transfer window in France. Jason Jones Jersey For Sale . Monaco is challenging fellow big-spender Paris Saint-Germain for the French title and needed to sign a striker to compensate for Colombia striker Radamel Falcaos long-term injury. Falcao is expected to miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in his left knee on Jan. 22. "Im happy, excited, and a little bit nervous to be honest," the 33-year-old Berbatov said. "Im looking forward to training with my new teammates and to open a new chapter in my career." Berbatov shone in spells for Manchester United, Tottenham and Fulham, scoring 94 league goals in 229 league games. Prior to that, he netted 69 goals in 154 league games for German side Bayer Leverkusen. He also scored 48 goals in 77 matches for Bulgaria before retiring from the national team. "Dimitar will bring us all his experience and talent. Of course, his arrival is connected to Falcaos injury," Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev said. "Hes played in big clubs such as Manchester United and hes a great striker. We still have two competitions to play in and he will be an asset." Monaco also reinforced its defence by signing centre half Aymen Abdennour on loan from Toulouse until the end of the season, with an option to buy the Tunisia international. Meanwhile, having spent the off-season trying to sell key players in order to raise funds, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas spent the last hours of the January transfer window turning down bids. Lyons highly-rated midfielder Clement Grenier chose not to move to Newcastle, which is trying to replace Yohan Cabaye after selling him to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. Newcastle coach Alan Pardew had spoken about Grenier in glowing terms and the club was in advanced talks with Lyon. "Ive decided to stay with Lyon and, for me, the best place to be is Lyon," Grenier said Friday. "I had no intention of leaving this winter. We still have a lot of things we want to achieve, both collectively and individually -- with a view to the World Cup. Its the best thing for my personal improvement." There were also offers for striker Bafetimbi Gomis, who will be out of contract at the end of the season and who Aulas desperately tried to sell in August, while the player steadfastly refused to go. Marseille right back Rod Fanni also knocked back a chance to join Queens Park Rangers, which plays in Englands second-tier Championship, according to La Provence newspaper. Midfielder Joshua Guilavogui and former Bordeaux left back Benoit Tremoulinas joined Saint-Etienne on loan from Atletico Madrid and Dynamo Kyiv respectively. Saint-Etienne has an option to buy Tremoulinas for (euro)4 million ($5.4 million) at the end of the season. Nantes signed striker Itay Shechter on loan from Hapoel Tel Aviv with an option to sign him for two years. The Israel forward scored 33 league goals in 61 games during his Hapoel career. Golden Tate III Jersey For Sale . PAUL, Minn. C.J. Mosley Elite Jersey .J. -- New Jersey agreed with Petr�Sykora to terms of a one-year deal on Wednesday, completing the former Devils bid to return to the NHL after an 18-month absence.ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions signed first-round pick Eric Ebron to a four year contract Friday. The North Carolina tight end was selected No. 10 overall. Detroit drafted the 6-foot-4, 245-pound Ebron to give Matthew�Stafford another option in a potentially potent offence. The Lions also have receiverrs Calvin�Johnson, Golden�Tate, tight ends Brandon�Pettigrew and Joseph�Fauria along with running backs Reggie�Bush and Joique�Bell and a solid offensive line. Calvin Johnson Elite Jersey. The Lions wrapped up mandatory minicamp on Thursday and will return for training camp in late July. ' ' '

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 Dave�Bolland or the likelihood of a trade involving James�Reimer. J.R. Sweezy Jersey . Nonis mentioned how the Leafs handled Tyler�Bozaks 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 Tyler�Bozak despite his upcoming free agency before signing him in the off-season. �Im perfectly content letting the UFA�s play it out and see where we are.� 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.� Nonis on Reimers status, options for Bolland Jon Ryan . Five first-round trades were made Tuesday night as well as another involving an early second-round selection. Brandon Mebane . Then Ryan�Raburn came to the plate and did what he usually does against the Chicago White Sox. Raburn hit a tiebreaking single and David�Murphy drove in four runs, leading the Indians to a 12-6 victory over the White Sox.Gold has once again escaped the grasp of Team USA. The mens hockey team will now try to avoid leaving the Sochi Olympics without a medal at all as they battle Finland in the bronze medal game on Saturday. The United States squared off against Canada on Friday in a rematch of the 2010 gold medal game. And like those Vancouver Games, Canada got the better of the U.S. by handing the Americans a 1-0 setback. Jonathan�Quick, who�finishes the tournament�today as the U.S. starting goaltender,�was solid in net for the U.S. and posted 36 saves, but an offense that tied Finland for the most goals in the preliminary round (15) failed to get a shot by Canadian netminder Carey�Price. Price ended with 31 saves to advance Canada into the gold medal game against Sweden. The only goal allowed by Quick came at 1:41 of the second period as Canadas Jay�Bouwmeester unleashed a low, hard shot from the left point that was redirected into the net by Jamie�Benn. The defeat dropped the U.S. to 1-4 in Olympic action against Canada since NHL players began competing in 1998. That includes an overtime setback four years ago in Vancouver. Christine Michael Authentic Jersey. Looking to secure a chance at winning its first Olympic gold medal, Finland instead saw its offense struggle as well in a 2-1 setback to Sweden on Friday. Without goaltender Tuukka�Rask due to illness, Finland got 23 stops from Kari�Lehtonen. Olli�Jokinen was the lone Finn to beat Swede goaltender Henrik�Lundqvist, who made 25 saves. Rask will get the start in goal for the medal game. Jokinen was in the penalty box when Sweden netted its game-winning goal in the second period as Erik�Karlsson scored on a one-time blast with 3:34 on the clock. The Finns had a power-play opportunity midway through the third, but failed to cash in and didnt have many good scoring chances the rest of the way. Finland is looking to secure an Olympic medal for the fifth time in the last six Olympic Games. The Finns won bronze in 2010 after taking silver four years prior. The U.S., which has not won gold since the 1980 Games in Lake Placid, won silver in 2002 and four years ago in Vancouver after being held without a medal in 2006. The last time the Americans won a bronze medal was in 1936. ' ' '

TSN Baseball Insider Steve Phillips answers three questions each week. Carlos Hyde . This week, topics cover the Blue Jays rotation,�the futures John Gibbons and Alex Anthopoulos, protecting pitchers and a bonus question on his predictions for the MLB playoffs. 1)�With J.A.�Happ heading to the DL, the Toronto Blue Jays have announced a starting rotation of R.A.�Dickey, Drew�Hutchison, Mark�Buehrle, Brandon�Morrow and Dustin�McGowan. Should the Blue Jays feel confident with that group or even this early in the season, should they be looking outside the organization for an upgrade? Or should they have kept a prospect like Aaron�Sanchez or Marcus�Stroman with the big club?�� The Blue Jays are starting the season with exact rotation they should be using.� Aaron�Sanchez and Marcus�Stroman both need more development but at some point they may be called upon to help. Certainly there are big questions for three-fifths of the starters but there is definitely upside.� RA Dickey is just a year removed from his NL Cy Young Award and is predictable and dependable.� I cant believe I am saying that about a knuckleballer but it is true.��� Mark Buerhle is a more than serviceable innings-eater who gives his team a chance to win start after start.��� After these two though the questions are significant. Brandon�Morrow has suffered injuries in each of the past two seasons after looking like a number one starter at times in 2012. Dustin�McGowan is throwing in the mid-nineties and is working on a curve ball to go with his devastating slider, but he has thrown just 46 2/3 innings since 2008 because of recurrent shoulder injuries. Drew�Hutchison hasnt pitched in the Major Leagues for the past year and a half due to Tommy John surgery but prior to that he looked like he could be a long-term answer for the rotation.���Before the season begins players, front office personnel and fans close their eyes and dream about what could be.�� I can close my eyes and see RA Dickey commanding his dancing knuckler that will baffle hitter.� I can envision Buerhle getting a ton of grounders and working quickly getting the powerhouse offense back in the dugout and scoring a ton of runs.� I can picture Brandon�Morrow rifling his fastball by the games biggest sluggers and logging a ton of strikeouts.� I can imagine McGowan and Hutchison fulfilling the potential that they once had as well.� It could happen just that way.����But it probably wont.����My experience is that the more questions you enter with the more things that will likely go wrong.� There is a bunch of unpredictability in this rotation.� Depth will be important.� It is safe to assume that health will be an issue at some point because it has been an issue in the past.� Esmil�Rogers and Todd�Redmond may make starts if necessary.� But Alex Anthopolous is going to have to keep working the phones to look for upgrades.� Early in the season other clubs arent typically trading good pitchers but he will need to be ready for when they do become available.�� So when you close your eyes and dream just hope it is not a nightmare.���2) Is manager John Gibbons on the hot seat with the Blue Jays? If the team is slow out of the gate again this year, will he be replaced? Are his and Alex Anthopouloss future tied together (if one goes, the other follows him out the door)?��I dont think John Gibbons is on the hot seat during the season this year.� I know there were big expectations last year but the collapse wasnt Gibbons fault.� The starting rotation just fell apart on him as Morrow and Josh�Johnson got hurt and Ricky�Romero imploded.� Jose�Reyes injury crushed the offense early in the season and more injuries followed.�� The expectations are less this year than a year ago.� It certainly behooves the Jays to get off to a good start so they can start to believe in themselves but Gibbons cant pitch for his team and the staff will be the key.����I have never been a believer that managers and general managers are tied at the hip.� The manager needs to look at the GM as his boss.� Clearly Gibbons was brought back to the Jays because of his relationship with Anthopolous but if Anthopolous thinks a change needs to be made he will have to make it.� If ownership gets to a point where they believe the roster is flawed and they decide to make a decision on the general manager it is unlikely Gibbons would survive a change in regime. Anthoplous can possibly survive the firing of Gibbons but I dont believe Gibbons would survive the firing of Anthopolous.����As it stands today both the manager and general manager are on firm ground as they should be.� They just need to be honest with themselves and their bosses about what the expectations are with the roster they have.� The owners can hope to be competitive in the tough AL East but if they expect to win it then both Anthopolous and Gibbons are in trouble.� This is a roster for which you can hope but not expect great things.��� 3)�With Reds starter Aroldis�Chapman and Rays starter Matt�Moore both being hit in the head by comebackers to the mound in spring training, is it time for Major League Baseball and/or the players union to implement mandatory pitcher protection? It seems that pitchers have become more and more vulnerable over the past few seasons.� Fortunately, we have avoided major catastrophe but we shouldnt be shocked if a pitcher were to be killed by a hit ball.� We have just been lucky so far.�� I am a firm believer that we should never wait for someone to be killed to make a change. Baseball already did that once.� Base coaches wear helmets now because a minor league first base coach was hit in the head by a line drive and killed.� If protecting pitchers is being considered then protect them.�� Lets not wait for a tragedy.�� It is currently optional for pitchers to wear the new protective headgear that was developed by MLB for this year.� The feedback so far is that the hats look funny and are not overly comfortable.� MLB needs to keep refining the protective hats to make them functional. This needs to be a priority for the Players Association as well.� Protective hats for pitchers need to be made mandatory at the minor league level initially.� Let the kids get comfortable with them so by the time they are big leaguers it is commonplace.� Once the hat is advanced enough make it mandatory for major league pitchers to wear.� There is no clock in baseball but we need to put a clock on this.� Every pitch thrown puts a pitcher at risk.� Please hurry. 4) With the second and third opening days approaching for Major League Baseball it is time to make predictions.� Here is how I see the American League:AL East���������������������� AL Central������������ AL West 1) Boston������������������� Detroit������������������Oakland2) Tampa Bay*���������� Kansas City**�����LA Angels3) Baltimore��������������� Cleveland��������������Texas4) Blue Jays�������������� � Minnesota�������������Seattle5) New York Yankees�� Chicago���������������Houston * first Wild Card������ ** second Wild Card AL CHAMPION: Oakland As defeat Detroit AL AWARDS AL MVP:� Miguel�Cabrera, DetroitAL MVP:� Justin�Verlander, DetroitAL Rookie of Year:� Yordano�Ventura, Kansas CityAL Manager of Year: Ned Yost, Kansas City Here are my predictions for the NL:NL East������������������������������������� NL Central������������������ NL West1) Washington�������������������������St Louis����������������������� LA Dodgers 2) Atlanta**����������������������������� �Milwaukee������������������� SF Giants*3) NY Mets�������������������������������� Cincinnati�������������������� Arizona4) Philadelphia������������������������� �Pittsburgh�������������������� Colorado5) Miami����������������������������������� Chicago�����������������������San Diego* first Wild Card������ ** second Wild Card NL CHAMPION:� Washington Nationals defeat Dodgers NL AWARDS NL MVP: Freddie�Freeman, Atlanta BravesNL CY Young:� Stephen�Strasburg, Washington NationalsNL Rookie of Year:� Gregory�Polanco, Pittsburgh Pirates�������������� Manager of the Year:� Mike�Matheny, St Louis Cardinals�� �WORLD SERIES CHAMPION:� Washington Nationals defeat Oakland As LET THE GAMES BEGIN�..PLAY BALL!!! Perrish Cox 49ers Jersey . The Spurs announced on Monday that they have re-signed Matt�Bonner. Andy Lee 49ers Jersey . Moore-Towers, 21, of St. Catharines, Ont., and Moscovitch, 29, of Toronto teamed up in 2009 and became Canadian pairs champions in 2011. They were runners-up at the national championships the past two years.LONDON -- Wayne Rooney scored for the first time in two months with a strike of the quality that justifies his lucrative new Manchester United contract as the floundering English Premier League champions won 2-0 at Crystal Palace on Saturday. The striker volleyed in Uniteds second, shortly after Robin Van Persies second-half penalty, a day after ending the uncertainty over his United future by signing a new deal that could earn him more than $140 million until 2019. Such a contract would seem to be beyond the reach of Palace, whose fans appeared to throw coins at Rooney, who flicked them back in their direction. "Its been more or less agreed for a month now and it was just the fine details that needed sorting," said Rooney, who pushed unsuccessfully to leave United last year. "I wanted to get it done as quickly as possible and thankfully its behind me and I can concentrate on my football." United needs Rooney, with just 12 goals this season having missed much of January through injury, to be more prolific for it to have any chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Although United ended a three-game winless run and climbed to sixth, David Moyes side was eight points from Liverpool in the fourth Champions League place having played an extra game. And this was a victory against a Palace side that might have sprung from the bottom in recent months with a recovery but was still only two points above the relegation zone. "We moved the ball well, maybe could have created more chances but overall we were in control of the game and once we got one goal we knew wed get another and see the game out," Rooney said. Looking at the team sheet, this is not a United side that should have taken until midway through the second half to score, or be in such a lowly position. The forward line in south London saw Rooney working in tandem with Van Persie and January signing Juan Mata. Uniteds teenage midfield dynamo, Adnan Jaanuzaj, did put the ball in the net early on but it was ruled out because he appeared to control a pass from Van Persie with his arm. Jerry Rice 49ers Jersey. . And as United struggled in front of goal initially, goalkeeper David de Gea was called into action to block Marouane Chamakhs header. Uniteds Marouane Fellaini, starting his first game since December following wrist and groin injuries, squandered a good chance when he missed the target with the net in sight. It was a dangerous start to the second half by Palace, with De Gea tipping over when under pressure from Glenn Murrays corner, and saving low from Jason Puncheon after Ince sliced over. United looked unable to score, but the breakthrough came after Chamakh, the forward who was back in defence, tripped left back Patrice Evra. From the spot, Van Persie sent Julian Speroni the wrong way to make it 12 goals for the season in the 62nd minute. Suddenly United looked a more confident attacking unit, with Mata setting up Fellaini for a low shot that was saved. But Palace also came close to levelling, with Mile Jedinak playing in Cameron Jerome who fought off defenders to force De Gea into a low diving save with almost his first touch since coming off the bench. Uniteds anxieties were eased by Rooney scoring his first goal since Dec. 26, powering the ball in after Evras cross bobbled over to him, unmarked, in a prime central position. "Sometimes when Wayne has not got time to think, he does things naturally," Moyes said. "He has natural talent and the technique and ability to get his weight behind the ball and strike it cleanly. He works really hard for the team and some of his passing was fantastic." It left Moyes relieved that he prevented Rooney from defecting to a rival. "He would have been too difficult to replace," Moyes said. "There arent enough top players out there that you can get cheaply or easily. Waynes one of them, one of the top players." ' ' '

VIERUMAKI, Finland -- Vicki Bendus had a hat trick Saturday as Canada hammered Slovakia 11-0 at the 12 Nations womens hockey tournament. Brandon Mebane Jersey . Haley Irwin, Jayna Hefford and Jesse Scanzano each added two apiece while Courtney Birchard and Mallory Deluce also scored as Canada outshot the Slovaks 73-8. Genevieve Lacasse picked up the win for Canada (3-0), while Monika Kvakova allowed all 11 goals for Slovakia (0-3). "We had our most complete game today," Canada head coach Dan Church said. "We played well on both sides of the puck and the areas that weve been working on tactically in our game have really been coming together. "Slovakia was probably the toughest defensively of the three teams that weve faced so far, so we had to be good both defensively and offensively." The Canadians have won the first three round-robin games of the tournament by a combined 41-1 score, but things will get much tougher Sunday against the world champions from the U.S. Church said that while every game is important, a meeting with the hockey rival has added significance. "Whenever you play the United States its a great game and these are the games that the players really look forward to because they are our rival," Church said. "Its almost like every game between Canada and the U.S. is like a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final." The 12 Nations is a new tournament on the womens hockey schedule. The International Ice Hockey Federation wants to close the large gaps in skill between countries by providing more competitive opportunities. Its hoped federations will put more resources into female hockey and that players will be motivated to improve their skills. Eight countries -- Canada, the U.S., Finland, Sweden, Russia, Switzerland, Slovakia and Japan -- are facing each other in Finland, while France, Germany, Norway and the Czech Republic are playing in a mini-tournament simultaneously in Courcheval, France. Paul Richardson Authentic Jersey . And the Ottawa Redblacks linebacker wanted to be sure his words delivered their full effect. "Its an insult," he said over the phone Wednesday after the CFL Players Association lifted its media ban, giving its members the ability to speak openly about stalling collective bargaining talks. Derrick Coleman Authentic Jersey . The Predators announced that Rinne had been cleared for the next step of his recovery after meeting with doctors earlier Monday. Coach Barry Trotz said a meeting was planned for later Monday to set a weekly plan for Rinne. CHICAGO -- Derrick�Rose broke for the corner, got the pass from Joakim�Noah on a play theyd worked on in practice and let fly with a high arching jumper. The ball caught the rim, came back and fell through. Roses shot with 19.4 seconds to play Tuesday night put the Chicago Bulls ahead and was part of a closing 8-0 they needed beat the New Orleans Hornets 99-95. It was Rose to the rescue for the Bulls in a sluggish first game back from the All-Star break. He had 32 points, six in the finishing run that came after the Hornets had scored 13 straight to take a four-point lead. "I take crazy shots like that in practice all the time, they just give me confidence to take those shots where they are looking for me," Rose said. "We work on that in the end of practice. I stepped back and tried to shoot the ball up as high as I could." After losing Chris�Paul and withstanding injuries to several key players, the Hornets, who are only 8-26, were on the verge of pulling off one of their biggest wins. Theyd gone into New York before the break and cooled off Jeremy�Lin and the Knicks and now were threatening to beat a team that had beaten them 90-67 three weeks ago in New Orleans. "We should have won that game," New Orleans coach Monty�Williams said. "Youve got to close games like that out." Noah had 15 points and 16 rebounds for the Bulls and Carlos�Boozer and Luol�Deng added 14 points apiece. Chris�Kaman had 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Hornets and Trevor�Ariza scored 16 points. The Hornets stunned the Bulls with the 13-0 run that turned a nine-point deficit into a four-point lead with 1:26 left. But then Rose took over. "We definitely held it together. Other teams I guess would have folded," Rose said. "We played toward the end I think the best defence we played throughout the whole game. We rebounded the ball, made great plays on the ball. ... We gave ourselves a chance." Rose hit two free throws and, after a New Orleans turnover, his miss was tapped in by Noah to tie the score at 95 with 52 seconds left. After a miss by Gustavo�Ayon, the Bulls rebounded, called a timeout with 25.7 seconds to go. And when they camee back out, Roses jumper from the right baseline side finally settled into the basket. Anthony McCoy Jersey. "Derrick�Rose came back and hit a tough shot," Ariza said. "Were a team that never gives us. Were going to play hard all the way through. But late turnovers cost us. The game we could have had for sure." Rose relishes taking the game-turning shots. "I always think about my legacy here, taking those shots," he said. "I want to be where I want to be at the end of my career." After Jarrett�Jack couldnt connect for the Hornets, Rose hit two from the line with 10.6 second left for a 99-95 lead. Rose was fouled again with four seconds left and missed both but by then it was too late for the Hornets. Kyle�Korver hit a 3 after missing his first four attempts and Rose scored on a left-handed layup to give Chicago a 91-82 lead with a little more than 5 minutes to go. But Marco�Belinelli and Jack scored for New Orleans, chopping Chicagos lead to 91-86 with just under 4 minutes left. Ariza then hit a 3, Ayon had two baskets and Belinelli a driving basket in the unlikely spurt that put the Hornets up 95-91. Down three at the half, the Bulls came out in the third quarter and built a seven-point lead. Rose, who had 21 of his points in the second half, started it with a driving basket and Deng had seven points, including a 3-pointer. Boozers follow made it 66-59 halfway through the period. New Orleans kept scrapping, especially Kaman, and his follow-up hoop highlighted a 10-2 spurt that put New Orleans back on top by one Ronnie�Brewer then scored twice and Rose had a twisting left-landed layup as the Bulls regained the lead 76-70 after three quarters. Guard Richard�Hamilton returned to the Bulls lineup and appeared in just his 12th game this season. Bothered by a sore thigh he hadnt played since Jan. 29. He scored the games first basket and converted a three-point play but played only eight minutes in the first half. He finished with five points and five assists in 16 minutes and 51 seconds. NOTES: Injury update: Hornets F Carl�Landry (left knee sprain) and C Jason�Smith (concussion) are still a few days away from returning, Williams said. ' ' '

PHILADELPHIA -- The Chicago Bulls took flight for Philadelphia without both a series lead and superstar guard Derrick�Rose. J.J. Watt Jersey . They counted on having both after the first two games against the 76ers. Roses torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee cost him the post-season and any chance the Bulls had of sweeping the Sixers in the best-of-seven series. Roses absence in Game 2 was the break the Sixers needed to became the first No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference to win a game on the road since 2003. The Sixers head home and are ready to show Philadelphia theyre more than a minor speed bump in Chicagos playoff run -- they believe more than ever they can beat the top team in the East and make a big march of their own through May. "We look forward to coming back and giving them a good show," Sixers guard Andre�Iguodala said Thursday. Game 3 is Friday night and Game 4 Sunday in Philadelphia. The best-of-seven series is tied 1-1. No player wants to see another suffer the type of injury that Rose did. Hes the reigning NBA MVP and one of the more exciting and dominant players in the game. But hes gone for good this post-season -- and the Sixers are ready to pounce. The Sixers had the type of production in Game 6 they needed to have any shot at beating the Bulls over the next three games. Jrue�Holiday was 11 of 15 from the field for 26 points, and the Sixers shot 59 per cent overall. Lou Williams was clutch off the bench, going 8 of 13 after hitting just 1 of 6 shots in the opener, and Chicago product Evan�Turner chipped in with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists. "Our younger guys," coach Doug Collins said, "they didnt blink." Holiday and Turner gave yet another glimpse of why they could be the backcourt pairing for the next decade in Philadelphia. Its just a matter of doing it again in Game 3. Then Game 4. And on it goes. Collins knows the next step in the duos growth toward becoming a dominant pair teeters on consistency. For all the games that leave Collins raving about their play, the under-25 stars have stretches where they show their age and inexperience. Collins said theres "no question" Turner is one of Philadelphias best players. Holiday might have blossomed into one of the top five point guards in the league this season had the lockout not shortened the schedule and robbed him of valuable practice time. But that time is coming for the 21-year-old guard. "Jrues never going to be a pure point guard. I dont want him to be a pure point guard," Collins said. "But can he be like a (Russell) Westbrook or Deron�Williams or those scoring point guards who put the pressure on the opponent all the time and yet make plays?" The Sixers might need another season before they have a definitive answer to that question. The Bulls dont have that kind of luxury to get production from Luol�Deng and Carlos�Boozer. Expected to help carry the load without Rose in the lineup, they combined for only 17 points. In the second half, the pair missed five of six shots and let the Sixers run wild around them. Boozer attempted only one shot in the second half. Boozer has 18 points and 12 rebounds combined in the first two games. The Bulls will find themselves in a series hole at that pace. "We trust the system," Deng said. "Its not one guy whos going to try to come out and take the load by himself. We want to do it as a team. All year, we always believed that for us to win games, (we have) to rely on our defence." More alarming for the Bulls was their inability to stop the Sixers, particularly in the third quarter. Turner scored 11 in the quarter, and Philadelphia wiped out a 55-47 deficit. The Sixers outscored Chicago 36-14 in the third, turning an eight-point deficit into an 83-69 lead. They also outrebounded the Bulls 14-5 in the frame. Chicagos shutdown defence can make up for Roses absence as much as Deng and Boozer finding their offensive groove. "Defence and rebounding, thats the whole key," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "The big thing was they got into the open floor. They got easy baskets. You get easy baskets early in the game, youre going to get confidence. When a team gets confidence, theyre much harder to shut down." The Sixers trust they will play more quarters ahead like that sizzling third in Game 2. They want to prove it home where they havent played since April 17 and havent won since March 31. The Sixers lost their last four games at the Wells Fargo Center. Iguodala was limited in Thursdays practice because of right Achilles tendinitis but expects to be close to full strength for Game 3. Iguodala is one of the toughest perimeter defenders in the league and helped stifle Deng in Game 2. "I feel like I can think the game," Iguodala said, "even when Im not at full strength." In the first home playoff game under new management, Sixers CEO Adam Aron said the pregame show is "going to be dramatic." The Sixers just hope the end is also worth celebrating. Whitney Mercilus Texans Jersey . - Chris�Bosh and Dwyane�Wade had 23 points apiece, and the Miami Heat beat the Los Angeles Lakers 101-95 on Wednesday for their sixth straight win. J.J.

The 31-year-old Suggs signed a six-year deal in 2009 that expired after the 2014 season. Now hes signed through 2018. At a news conference Monday to announce the extension, Suggs said, "Sizzle will be a Raven forr life. Randy Bullock Texans Jersey. ." Suggs was expected to count $12.4 million against the salary cap. Now hes at $7.8 million. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome says, "It allows us to have the opportunity to pursue some of our own guys but also be prepared when free agency opens." Suggs earned his sixth Pro Bowl invite in 2013. The 11-year veteran is the franchise leader with 94 1/2 sacks. ' ' '

When it comes to balancing training with media obligations, few mixed martial artists keep a schedule as hectic as Ronda Rousey. Philip Rivers Jersey . On top of pushing herself in the gym before each fight, the UFC womens bantamweight champion is never too far from the spotlight. In between bouts, Rousey has even taken to filling downtime with roles in films like The Expendables 3, Entourage and Fast & Furious 7. Going into her upcoming title defence against Canadian Alexis Davis in the co-main event of UFC 175 in Las Vegas Saturday, Rouseys once again running the press gauntlet. Though her packed timetable would be enough to make some fighters cringe, Rousey has a secret weapon working to her advantage. �I dont really do that well with downtime,� Rousey said during a recent media conference call. �So Im always in the gym regardless. A lot of fighters like to have their fight and then go chill out for a month or two. I get in trouble for sneaking back into the gym sometimes two days after a fight. Im just always in shape and always ready. I dont really like resting too much.� The cause of Rouseys desire to never stray too far from the gym is two-fold. Though there is nothing more satisfying than violently dispatching high-level challengers, this sensation is often fleeting for the California native. It doesnt take long before she once again gets the itch to compete. �The high after a win is what I enjoy the most, not sitting around and resting,� Rousey said. �I clearly only enjoy the rest while that high is still lingering. Its only so long that I can enjoy sitting on the couch and eating as much pie as I want before going to the gym and pressing repeat. I really need that big goal and obstacle to be excited about what Im doing.� On top of her competitive drive, Rousey simply knows that in order to stay on-point, she must fight frequently. She admitted to learning this the hard way, after a 10-month layoff prior to her December bout with Miesha Tate resulted in some unwanted ring rust. �We dont really have the luxury boxers have where, if the champion takes a long break off, they can have a tune-up fight to get ready for another big title fight,� Rousey said. �I just have title fights to keep from getting that ring rust.� Next on her hit list, Rousey aims to net her fourth consecutive title defence by besting Davis. Currently riding a five-fight win streak � three of which have come under the UFC banner � Davis has flown under the radar somewhat and could offer tough opposition wherever the fight may go. Rousey said she isnt taking the Port Colborne, Ont. native lightly. �Alexis is definitely the most well-rounded fighter Ive ever come up against,� Rousey said. �Shes one of the most experienced and her coaching (staff) is some of the best Ive ever come up against. �I think the greatest challenge is: whatever tools she does have, I know that shell use them in the most intelligent way possible. Being that she is well rounded, she has a lot of tools to pick from.� Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the bout will play out once the action hits the mat, as Davis is arguably the most experienced ground fighter Rousey has ever been paired up against. As well as sporting a Muay Thai striking background, Davis holds black belts in both Brazilian jiu jitsu and Japanese Jujutsu. A 2008 Olympic judo bronze medalist, Rousey said she aims to represent her discipline and secure bragging rights by taking out Davis. �When I first started watching MMA that was one thing that pissed me off so much, everyone assumed that everything would beat judo,� Rousey began. �Everyone would be like, Any wrestler can beat a judo player. Any jiu jitsu player can beat a judo player. I was just really annoyed by the complete lack of respect that the sport got. I see that changing definitely. �You can definitely get away without having any ground game in judo, but if you are the type of person ... that can submit people in judo � I mean, youve only got a couple seconds to make that work. If youre the type of person that does actually make it work on the ground in judo, youre one of the best in the world. Im happy to really get the opportunity to showcase that.� Should she get the job done against Davis, Rousey said she plans on taking a much-needed break. However, it will remain to be seen whether she can enjoy her time away from the cage. �Id like to fight again on New Years and take a little break before then,� Rousey said, �but the UFC knows if theres an emergency or they need me, Ill step up on 24-hours notice.� Brandon Flowers Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers have made Nail�Yakupov a healthy scratch for the second straight game for tonights game against the Washington Capitals. Dan Fouts Authentic Jersey .J. -- New Jersey agreed with Petr�Sykora to terms of a one-year deal on Wednesday, completing the former Devils bid to return to the NHL after an 18-month absence.MONTREAL - Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Buddy Robinson scored 43 seconds apart in the second period to lead the Binghamton Senators to a 4-1 victory over the Hamilton Bulldogs in American Hockey League action Friday night at the Bell Centre. Andre Petersson and Mike Hoffman also scored for Binghamton (33-15-4). Andrew Hammond made 31 saves. Nick Tarnaksy was the lone scorer for the Bulldogs (22-24-5), while Dustin Tokarski stopped 17 shots. With Hamilton leading 1-0 in the second period, the Senators got their equalizer at 15:00 when Pageau, who was left all alone in the slot, beat Tokarski above the glove into a gaping top corner. Robinson put Binghamton ahead less than a minute later, slotting home his ninth of the year past a sprawling Bulldogs goaltender. Tokarksi tried to smother the puck after the initial shot, but it was poked away by Derek Grant onto Robinsons stick. Tarnasky scored the opener at 4:18 of the second on a partial breakaway for his 11th of the season. The six-foot-two Bulldogs forward used defenceman Mike Sdao as a screen to fool Hammond with a shot between the legs. Theree was little love lost between the teams to start the game. Malcom Floyd. Tarnasky and Binghamtons Darren Kramer set the tone before the encounter even got underway, exchanging words and a few slashes during the pre-game warm-up. Tarnasky and Kramer waited only seven minutes into the game to solve their differences, dropping the gloves to earn fighting majors.

PHILADELPHIA -- The New York Giants went from 0-6 to right in the middle of the NFC East race in six days. Sean Lissemore . Josh�Brown kicked a career-high five field goals, Eli�Manning played error-free and the Giants beat Philadelphia 15-7 Sunday. With Dallas losing to Detroit, the Giants (2-6) are just two games behind the Cowboys (4-4) in the NFLs weakest division. "We still believe," Manning said. "These last two weeks weve played our best football, together as a team, both sides, helping each other out, relying on each other. Weve got to continue to build off that." Michael�Vick returned for the Eagles (3-5) after missing 2 1/2 games with a hamstring injury, but clearly wasnt healthy and was removed for rookie Matt�Barkley late in the second quarter. The Giants snapped an eight-game road losing streak while extending Philadelphias home losing streak to 10 games. The Eagles last win at the Linc was over the Giants on Sept. 30, 2012. Chip Kellys high-flying offence that racked up at least 425 yards in each of the first six games has been grounded. The Eagles followed a 17-3 loss to Dallas with another poor offensive performance. They had just 201 yards of offence and have totalled 479 the past two weeks. "Were instable at the quarterback spot. We havent played well at quarterback and its cost us the last two games," Kelly said. LeSean�McCoy, the NFLs leading rusher, was held to 48 yards on 15 carries. DeSean�Jackson had 63 yards receiving on eight catches. The Giants havent allowed a touchdown on defence in the last 10 quarters. "Weve simplified things," defensive end Justin�Tuck said. "(Defensive co-ordinator) Perry Fewell has done a great job putting in game plans that have allowed athletes to be athletes." The Eagles finally scored when Zak�DeOssies snap sailed over punter Steve�Weatherfords head and Najee�Goode picked it up and ran 2 yards for a touchdown with 4:11 left. "I dont think Ive ever seen him do that before, not even on the practice field," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said of DeOssie. New York opened the season with six losses before defeating Minnesota 23-7 last Monday night. Manning was 25 of 39 for 246 yards and didnt throw an interception for the second consecutive game after getting picked 15 times in first six weeks. Barkley finished 17 of 26 for 158 yards and one interception. "Matt has been thrown in twice into tough situations," Kelly said. "He gave us a little spark, a little energy." Vick was reduced to being an immobile pocket passer. He completed 6 of 9 for 31 yards, threw an interception, was sacked and got called for intentional grounding. The Eagles managed 27 total yards in the four series Vick played. Barkley came in and drove the Eagles 78 yards in just over a minute late in the second quarter. But on first down from the 2, Barkley was sacked by Terrell�Thomas and fumbled. Jacquian�Williams recovered at the Giants 12. Brown kicked field goals of 40, 44, 33 and 46 yards on four straight possessions in the first half to give the Giants a 12-0 lead. Antrel�Rolle intercepted Vicks second pass and sacked him for a 12-yard loss inside the Eagles 10 on the next series. The Giants moved the ball easily throughout the game, but couldnt get it in the end zone. They had a first down at the 5 on the series they settled for Browns 33-yarder. Brown connected from 27 yards to make it 15-0 in the fourth quarter. Vick strained his left hamstring late in the first half of a win at the Giants on Oct. 6. Nick�Foles was impressive in a victory at Tampa Bay, but was awful in a loss to Dallas. Foles sustained a concussion on the final play of the third quarter last week. Barkley made his NFL debut against the Cowboys and threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter. The fumble on his first series against the Giants gave him four turnovers on his first four drives. NOTES: This was the first time the Giants won without scoring a TD since a 9-6 victory over Seattle on Sept. 22, 2002. ... With his second completion, Manning passed Phil Simms as the franchises all-time leader in yards passing. Simms, who played 14 seasons with the Giants, finished his career with 33,462 yards in the air. Manning is also first in attempts, completions, and touchdown passes. ...

After Tomas�Fleischmann forced overtime with a game-tying, 4-on-3 goal with 2:38 left in the third period, the Capitals recovered with shootout tallies by Mikhail�Grabovski, Brooks�Laich, and the clincher by Nicklas�Backstrom. After Laichs shootout score on Florida goalie Scott�Clemmensen, which appeared to come as he lost the puck, Washington goalie Michal�Neuvirth made the biggest of his 31 saves, catching Jonathan�Huberdeaus attempt with his glove. Backstrom then ended it with a clean shot to the left side. "Tonight was an ugly one," Backstrom said. "Neuvy played great and kept us in the game." Neuvirth finished with 31 saves. Clemmensen had 21. One of the players most relieved by Backstroms deciding shot was defenceman Steve Oleksy (seven blocked shots), who committed the slashing penalty that paved the way for Fleischmanns goal. The score ended Washingtons string of successful penalty kills at 35, with five coming Saturday night "You cant have that. Steven knows that. You cant lose your cool," Washington coach Adam�Oates said. "Fortunately, the shootout bailed him out." Florida lost its fifth straight, but showed improvement from its listless 4-0 loss Friday night at home to St. Louis. "I think we stepped in a good direction tonight," Fleischmann said. "We played like a team, prretty good all 60 minutes and I think thats how we get our two points next game. LaDainian Tomlinson Jersey. " Ovechkin had scored 10 goals in 12 games before he was hurt in the first period Monday at Vancouver. The Capitals have outscored opponents 10-2 without him, but Saturdays win wasnt nearly as easy as Fridays 7-0 domination of the Philadelphia Flyers. "Youre still patching the dike in a sense. You dont want to lose anybody, let alone your star," Oates said. "It proves your team is still a solid hockey team." Washington broke on top late in the first period with a fast-break goal that Backstrom started and finished. After winning a faceoff at the red line, he received a lead pass from Eric�Fehr and fired a 15-foot shot through Clemmensens legs. With the score, Backstrom replaced Ovechkin as the team leader in points with 16. Winchester tied it at 8:20 of the second period on a breakaway goal, but Carlson answered 36 seconds later for Washington. Fourth-line centre Michael�Latta got his first NHL assist in helping Carlson score the first goal for a Washington defenceman in 30 days. "We need offence from our (defence). Every team does," Oates said. "You could tell by his celebration how much it meant to him." NOTES: The Capitals have a 13-8-2 record in games missed by Ovechkin. ... A night after brawling with the Philadelphia Flyers at the end of their 7-0 win, the Caps were involved in more conventional tussle as Marcel�Goc of the Panthers went after Latta after the Washington rookie elbowed Fleischmann, Floridas top scorer. ... Washingtons Marcus�Johansson took what appeared an inadvertent stick to his chin in the third period. ' ' '

Melbourne, Australia (SportsNetwork. Keshawn Martin .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open. After three-time reigning mens titlist Novak Djokovic lost here on Tuesday, fifth-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska took down two-time defending champion Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 on Wednesday to set up a semifinal match with Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia. "Im so happy and pleased, especially that I beat one of the best players in the world," Radwanska said. "Was not easy draw, not easy quarterfinal. Im very happy that I made my first semifinal here." The second-seeded Azarenkas 18-match winning streak in Melbourne came to a halt on Day 10. She was trying to become the first woman to win the singles title here in three consecutive years, or since Martina Hingis turned the trick from 1997-99. Radwanska, who ended a streak of three consecutive quarterfinal defeats at the Aussie Open, committed just 15 unforced errors compared to 47 for Azarenka. "She was aggressive. She was making everything. She was guessing right. I was just playing a little bit too predictive, you know," Azarenka said. Azarenka had been a dominant 12-3 lifetime against her fellow 24-year-old Radwanska, including a come-from-behind Aussie quarterfinal victory two years ago. Meanwhile, the 20th-seeded Cibulkova cruised past 11th-seeded Romanian Simona Halep 6-3, 6-0 in a match that lasted just 60 minutes to secure her spot in the final four. The 24-year-old Cibulkova, who stunned No. 3 seed Maria Sharapova in the fourth round on Monday, is the first woman from Slovakia to reach the Aussie Open semis since Daniela Hantuchova in 2008. The diminutive Cibulkova improved to 2-3 in quarterfinal matches at Grand Slams, with her other win coming at the 2009 French Open. "That time I was 19 years old. I was pretty young. I would say also a different player. You know, I am much more experienced," Cibulkova said. Halep, who upended former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic in the fourth round, appeared overwhelmed in her Grand Slam quarterfinal debut. "No, just I couldnt play today. I had emotions, big emotions, and I couldnt manage this," she said. "Before the match I was very nervous and I didnt feel the ball at all. I couldnt move my body and I couldnt play." Fourth-seeded Chinese star Li Na and 30th-seeded blossoming 19-year- old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard will meet in the other semifinal on Thursday. The former French Open champion Li is a two-time runner-up at Melbourne Park, including last year against Azarenka. Ryan Fitzpatrick Jersey . PAUL, Minn. Jared Crick Authentic Jersey .

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Argentine Federico Delbonis won his first ATP title by defeating Paolo Lorenzi of Italy 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the Brazil Open final on Sunday. Garrett Graham Womens Jersey . Delbonis broke Lorenzis serve to start the decisive set and held on to close the match in 2 hours, 6 minutes after converting on his second match point. He jumped and punched the air after sending a winner down the line past the outstretched arms of Lorenzi. Delbonis celebrated a nearly perfect week in which he also reached the semifinals in the doubles tournament. "To tell you the truth, I have no words," Delbonis said. "I played well match after match. It was a great result in the end." The 23-year-old lefty was playing only in his second ATP final. He had lost to Fabio Fognini of Italy last July after upsetting Roger Federer in the semifinals in Hamburg. With the victory at the ATP 250 tournament in Sao Paulo, Delbonis will move to 45th in the ATP rankings, a career best. The 32-year-old Lorenzi, ranked 114th, had never advanced past the quarterfinals of an ATP singles tournament. He reached the Sao Paulo final by beating top-seeded German Tommy Hass, who retired in the semifinals because of a right shoulder injury while losing in the second set. "Its a shame I wasnt able to win," Lorenzi said. "But hopefully Ill be back next year to try again." The Italian won the first set on Sunday after breaking Delbonis serve at 3-3, but the hard-hitting Argentine started serving well and was never broken again, finishing with 12 aces and no double faults. Delbonis beat home-crowd favourite Thomaz Bellucci in the semifinals. He had defeated second-seeded Nicolas Almagro in the second round, a three-time winner at the Brazil Open. It was the first time since 2007 that the Brazil Open wasnt won by a Spanish player. Argentine Guillermo Canas lifted the trophy that year, and after that the tournament was won by Spaniards Almagro, Tommy Robredo, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Rafael Nadal. Nadal decided not to defend the clay-court title this week. He chose to play in the first Rio Open, which he won last week. In the doubles final on Sunday, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain and Philipp Oswald of Austria beat Juan Sebastian Cabal and Roberto Farah of Colombia 5-7, 6-4, 15-13. The Colombians, No. 5 in the world and second-seeded in Sao Paulo, won the Rio Open last week.

It also moves the Jets to within four points of Dallas and Phoenix for the final playoff spot in the West. The Jets had gone 12 games scoring three or fewer. The Jets lost Ondrej Pavelec, Jim Slater and Chris Thorburn to injury Friday vs the New York Rangers, so Coach Paul Maurice had to do some line juggling.

Shots in the first were 16-10 Jets. At one point the Stars were outshooting the Jets 6-2.�Olli Jokinen scored 29 seconds into the second to make it 4-2.

Wheeler has only one goal in the last 14 games, but does have 11 assists in that span. The two goals and one assist by Byfuglien give him 6-2-8 in the last five games and 9-9-18 since the move to right wing. Enstrom and Jokinen also had three-point nights, each a goal and two assists. Cormier drew an assist on the Enstrom goal, his first point as a Jet. The win for Montoya was his 11th of the year. Byfuglien led the team with seven shots on goal before leaving late in the third due to injury. He is expected to play Monday night in St. Louis (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). Enstrom was a team high plus four, while Zach Bogosian led in ice time at 21:57. ODell won eight of 13 face-offs. Frolik extended his point streak to four, while Little had his stopped at four. Jets power play was one for six, penalty kill a perfect two for two to run the streak of successful kills to 17 for 17. This post-game from Montoya, "Ive been waiting for this chance, so am going to enjoy it and get ready for tomorrow against one of the best teams in the league." Montoya was not overly busy, but the Jets did give up some first period breakaways forcing Montoya to make some big saves at key times. Post-game from Coach Maurice was asked about Byfuglien leaving in the third. With a smile on his face this was his answer. "He thought if he got the third, he would get too much attention. Didnt want to get shadowed on the ice. We expect him to be fine for tomorrow. Hes been our best player, hes excited for these games." On getting back in the win column, "Earlier we were winning on compete and emotion. Now our game has gotten better. Its really important for a young team to have success in a big game. Getting down early and then coming back and being very good"��� The game in St. Louis ends three in four nights for the Jets, but with a home game Wednesday against Colorado are still in a five games in eight days stretch.

ASHBURN, Va. Kendrick Lewis Jersey . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred�Davis wants everyone to know that his latest NFL suspension resulted from taking a supplement that contained a banned substance -- and not a repeat of the recreational drug use that got him into trouble in the past. The NFL announced Wednesday that Davis has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. It is his second substance-abuse suspension -- he sat out the final four games of the 2011 season after testing positive for marijuana. "I would like to clarify the circumstances that resulted in my current suspension," Davis said in a statement released through the NFL Players Association. "In the past, I made the mistake of knowingly ingesting a banned substance. For over two years, Ive worked very hard to eliminate marijuana from my life, and I have not had a positive test for it since 2011. "Unfortunately, a couple of months ago I took a supplement that contained a banned substance. I now know that supplements are not regulated by the FDA and may contain banned substances. The NFL Policy is strict, and not knowing that a supplement might contain a banned substance doesnt excuse a violation of the policy." NFL players are regularly briefed on the leagues drug policy. Davis is a six-year veteran, a second-round selection by the Redskins in the 2008 draft. Davis said he has been working with the league and players union to "resolve this violation" and that he will be permitted to apply for reinstatement in the fall. "I look forward to staying in football shape, remaining in compliance with the NFL policy, and having a chance to get back on the field to contribute to a teams success next season," the statement said. Davis appears unlikely to return to the Redskins. He is set to become a free agent next month, having signed a one-year deal in 2013 with the hope of producing big numbers that he could parlay into a hefty multiyear contract when he hit the open market. Instead, he caught only seven passes and was passed on the depth chart by rookie Jordan�Reed. Davis also admitted to nodding off during team meetings and voiced a desire to play for another team after he was put on the inactive list for multiple games. Davis has 162 career receptions for 2,043 yards. His best season was 2011, when he had 59 catches for 796 yards before his first suspension.

Seedorf landed in Milan on Wednesday to replace Massimiliano Allegri, who was fired following a 4-3 loss at newly promoted Sassuolo on Sunday. Seedorf was contracted to June 30, 2016, Milan said in a statement. At the training ground, the first player to greet him was former teammate Daniele Bonera. The 37-year-old Seedorf spent 10 years as a player with Milan, helping the team win a number of trophies, including two Champions League titles and two Serie A titles. "You cant say Ive returned, because I never left," Seedorf said. "t;Its very important for me to see all this enthusiasm. Damaris Johnson Texans Jersey. We have a lot to do to take Milan back to the top. "At the moment theres a lot of emotion and a sense of duty. I have to give 100 per cent to rebuild and give enthusiasm to the squad.

A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that the team was working on final details of the contract Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an agreement had not been announced. Melton missed most of last season with Chicago after tearing a ligament in his left knee against Pittsburgh on Sept. 22. He will be reunited with former Bears defensive co-ordinator Rod Marinelli, who now has the same title in Dallas. The fifth-year player was a high school running back in the Dallas area before becoming a defensive tackle with the Texas Longhorns. The 27-year-old Melton has 15 1/2 sacks and 63 tackles in 48 career games, including 32 starts. The Bears drafted him in the fifth round in 2009, and he missed his rookie season with an ankle injury. Melton was arrested in December in Grapevine, where he went to high school, on charges of assault and public intoxication after police say he refused to leave a bar and fought with employees. Rocky Bleier Pittsburgh Steelers. Police say Melton was accused of punching the bar manager in the face and biting his arm. Meltons agent, Jordan Woy, said at the time that his client didnt start the altercation. The Cowboys released Ware, their star defensive end, just as free agency opened. Defensive tackle Jason�Hatcher signed with Washington after leading the Cowboys with 11 sacks last season. A day after Wares release, the Cowboys signed defensive end Jeremy�Mincey and defensive tackle Terrell�McClain. Mincey is the teams current career leader with 20 sacks, now followed by Melton. Next on this list with 10 is George�Selvie, who wasnt even on the Dallas roster when training camp started last season and ended up second to Hatcher with seven sacks on an injury plagued unit. Marinelli came to Dallas a year ago as defensive line coach with then-defensive co-ordinator Monte Kiffin after Lovie Smith was fired in Chicago. He was promoted when Kiffin was reassigned after the Cowboys gave up the most yards in franchise history and finished last in the NFL in total defence. ' ' '

SEATTLE - With diapers in one arm and his young son in the other, Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle�Seager got the phone call Monday he was hoping to get a day earlier. Will Allen Pittsburgh Steelers . Seager was selected to replace injured Toronto first baseman Edwin�Encarnacion on the American Leagues roster for next weeks All-Star game. Encarnacion, who has 26 home runs and 70 RBIs, was put on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a strained right quadriceps. Encarnacion was injured in Saturdays game against Oakland. Seager said he was just walking out of Babies"RUs with his wife and son when he noticed manager Lloyd McClendon calling. "I put the diapers down and answered the phone," Seager said. "It worked out pretty good." Seager becomes the third Seattle player selected for the July 15 game at Target Field in Minneapolis. The 26-year-old Seager, a first-time All-Star, entered Monday with a .274 average, 13 homers, 59 RBIs and 21 doubles. But those numbers came after a miserable first three weeks of the season that had Seager sitting at .156 with no homers and four RBIs through the first 19 games. In the 66 games since, Seager is hitting .304 with 57 RBIs and a .914 on base plus slugging. "The validation is just playing better and helping the team win. This stuff right here this is just ... its hard to describe," Seager said. "Its just something thats pretty cool and Im really, really happy about, obviously." McClendon wasnt worried about Seagers early struggles, knowing eventually the production would arrive. "The book says hes a good player and having talked with him and learning his personality, I knew that he was going to be OK, so I wasnt really worried about him," McClendon said. Seager will join teammates Felix�Hernandez and second baseman Robinson�Cano playing for the American League. Its the second time since 2004 Seattle has seen more than two players get selected for the All-Star game. Seagers brother, Corey, was also selected for Sundays All-Star Futures Game, a showcase for minor league talent. "Ive played with Felix a couple of years now and gotten to know Cano pretty good here.

MONTREAL -- Theyve composed chants just for Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard, roared for her until they went hoarse, and toasted her wins by fudging their way through "O Canada. Bernard Pollard Tennessee Titans ." Meet the "Genie Army" -- a dozen boisterous Aussies who, despite boasting zero connection to Canada, have become Bouchards unofficial cheerleaders at the Australian Open. Members of the weeks-old squad have jumped, danced and serenaded their way into an unmistakable grandstand presence during the Montreal teens impressive run at the event, where she has earned a semifinal spot Thursday. The devotees, mostly men in their 20s, have also fashioned red-and-white T-shirts that spell out Bouchards name, flapped banners for her during matches, and lobbed plush animals -- each of them native to Australia -- to her on the court following each of her victories. Though they have had little face-to-face interaction with Bouchard, they have certainly commanded her attention in Melbourne. "The crowd here has been amazing, especially the Genie Army," Bouchard, 19, said Tuesday during an on-court interview after beating Ana Ivanovic. She then pointed up to her noisy, personal cheering section. "Ive had so much fun. Thank you guys." The inspiration behind a brigade dedicated to Bouchard came after a bunch of Australian buddies watched her upset Ivanovic last year at Wimbledon, said one of the Army members. In December, as the Australian Open approached, Jacob Wright said the crew decided to become her own booster club, so they started making shirts and penning Bouchard chants. The Genie Army was born. "Shes just a great tennis player," Wright, 20, told The Canadian Press in a Skype interview from Melbourne. "Obviously, shes a good-looking girl as well, and were young guys, but she is a really good tennis player. Its really, really good fun to watch." Their movement has had nothing to do with patriotism, either. When asked whether any of them had a connection to Canada, he replied: "None of us." Wright said they caught Bouchards attention during her first-round match, which was held on a more-intimate court that brings fans closer to the players. Six of them showed up for the event and were lucky enough to have their photos taken with Bouchard, get her autograph, and exchange a few words with their favourite player after the victory. The Genie Army nation was thrilled, Wright added, when Bouchard later told an interviewer she hoped they would show up for her next match. They havent missed one since -- and their ranks have doubled to about 12. Wright said it has been a bit of a give-and-take relationship, with Bouchard thanking her believers in interviews and by making gestures, such as posting a couple of photos of them on her Twitter feed. The connection likely hit its only bumpy patch on Tuesday when she was asked in a post-match interview about who she would like to date, if she could choose anyone in the world. An embarrassed Bouchard, who appeared to be taken off guard by the question, blurted out the name of Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. In TV footage, members of the Genie Army were shown waving off her choice. They remain committed, however, to backing Bouchard for the long haul, even if they initially didnt expect it to last. Wright admitted they never predicted Bouchard, the tournaments 30th seed, would advance to the semifinal, but theyve enjoyed the longer-than-expected ride. Bouchard, in fact, became the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam semifinal in 30 years. "My voice doesnt usually sound like this, Im pretty husky from a week of just full-on yelling as loud as I can," said Wright, who was wearing a white T-shirt with a red Maple Leaf and a Bouchard autograph. "But yeah, weve just been yelling, chanting -- and overall the response from the crowds been really good." He said group members have also been surprised by the notoriety theyve amassed throughout the tournament, growing so big that they have been interviewed by media outlets and have frequently been asked to pose for photos with other fans. "Well be standing there for 20 minutes or something (after matches)," said Wright, whose group has an online presence on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, where .GenieArmy was trending after Tuesdays win. "Its getting really full of fun." But their primary mission has not changed since Day 1: support Bouchard. During her matches, the crew can be heard belting out custom chants from the bleachers, including a fight song usually reserved for when she first steps onto the hardcourt. "We are the Army, the Genie Army, and we are mental, and we are mad," a clapping Wright chanted as he began a demonstration of the mantra. The gang has even sung the Canadian national anthem, though Wright admits only a couple of them know the words. The first time they attempted "O Canada," he said they received some welcome help from Canadian fans in the crowd. "We started it off, but then we had a lot of Canadians around us, so they sort of finished it off for us," Wright said. "It wasnt a very good rendition."Authentic DaQuan Jones Jersey .
