Winnipeg Jets 2 Colorado Avalanche 1 OT – (Jets 18-18-5, 9-10-1 on road) – It was the Jets 23rd one-goal game of the season and 12th game that has gone to overtime. Nine of the previous 11 went to a shootout. In the games that ended in the five minute overtime, the Jets lost in Nashville, won in Tampa and came out victorious in this game. In Tampa it was Mark Scheifele scoring with the assist to Blake Wheeler; tonight it was Wheeler set up by Scheifele, with Dustin Byfuglien also assisting (his team leading 22nd assist of the year). It was the first time since November 25/27 that the Jets won back-to-back games. The game was scoreless through 40 minutes with both Al Montoya and Semyon Varlamov making a number of great saves. Shots after 40 minutes favoured the Jets 22-17. Andrew Ladd opened the scoring at 11:42 with his 10th of the year, converting a nice feed from Wheeler. Jacob Trouba also drew an assist. But 29 seconds later Nathan MacKinnon, with his ninth, tied it. His shot went off the stick of Mark Stuart, off the leg of Zach Bogosian and past Montoya. The Avs outshot the Jets 12-11 in the third, and 5-4 in overtime. The winning goal officially came at 4:58 of the overtime, but actually came with 1.3 seconds left on the clock. Byfuglien kept the puck in at the line and Scheifele spotted Wheeler who redirected it through Varlamov for the winner, with Byfuglien causing havoc in front of the net. It was Wheelers second game-winner in as many games. The assist by Scheifele was his 13th of the year, tying him for the league lead among rookies. The goal by Wheeler gives him a team-leading 15 on the season. He has now scored eight in the last nine games and is 6-7-13 in eight career games against the Avs. Trouba led the team in ice time at 25:25, Ladd led in shots with five. For Montoya it was his seventh win of the year; his career-high for one season is nine. Montoya has now won his last four starts and is 5-0 in his last five decisions. Considering the Jets travel issues going into Denver on Saturday (nine-hour mechanical delay), and no morning skate, the Jets played one of their best defensive games of the year. “It was a well-played game,” stated coach Claude Noel. “We had a bit of a slow start but the Wright, Tangradi, Peluso line got us going. It was a tough goal that tied it, but we stuck with it. Stayed focused and never got rattled. We had a lot of good performances.” The Jets close out the 2013 part of their schedule at MTS Centre Tuesday against Buffalo (TSN National, TSN 1290), then head to Ottawa, Boston and Pittsburgh for a three game Eastern Conference trip. Ousmane Dembele Barcelona Jersey .com) - Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau has been selected as the NHLs Rookie of the Month for December, the league announced Friday. Luis Suarez Barcelona Jersey .C. -- Charles Oakley, one of the NBAs all-time tough guys, may not return to the Charlotte Bobcats bench next season because of a painful back condition he says was caused during an assault last year in Las Vegas. http://www.barcelonateampro.com/jasper-c...rcelona-jersey/. Funny, they looked like longtime friends during Pittsburghs 5-1 demolition of Dallas on Tuesday night. Quick to the puck and even quicker to the net, the Penguins top line overwhelmed the suddenly struggling Stars as Pittsburgh bounced back from a dismal weekend sweep at the hands of Philadelphia by jumping on Dallas early. Nelson Semedo Barcelona Jersey . The club says Fridays surgery was successful. Holiday, a former Eastern Conference All-Star acquired from Philadelphia last summer, has not played because of the shin injury since Jan. Aleix Vidal Jersey . His recovery time is expected to be six to eight months. Seidenberg was injured in the third period of Fridays 5-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators, when he got his leg tangled with forward Cory Conacher.Put your socks back on, turn off your calculators and no need to study up on the law of probability after Costa Rica followed up their demolition of Uruguay with a thoroughly well-deserved victory over Italy, the 1966 World Cup winners can pack their bags for home. You have to go all the way back to Sweden 1958 for the last time England was knocked out of a World Cup at the Group Stage. At least then England went into their third and final group game against the Soviet Union knowing even a draw may have been enough to reach the knockout stage. Outside of other World Cups where England were either not permitted to enter, or were eliminated in qualifying, Brazil 2014 now ranks as their worst ever showing at a World Cup. This for the nation that sowed Planet Futbols roots. They may have performed admirably against Brazil last spring when they drew the hosts 2-2 to launch the renovated Maracana but England and Brazilian World Cups make strange bedfellows. Humbled by the US, they also failed to advance from the group when Brazil last hosted in 1950. The tabloid daggers will be calling for Roy Hodgsons head. Any thought of that, though, has been dismissed by the FA chairman, Greg Dyke who throws his full support behind the beleaguered manager and stated Hodgson would lead England through EURO 2016. From technical deficiencies, an inability to maintain possession or tactical naivety right on through the plethora of theories which abound, the plain fact of the matter is England dont do international football tournaments. Their 14th appearance at a World Cup, and outside of the lone triumph on home soil in 1966, Italia 90 was the only other time England have got past the quarterfinal stage Underprepared was the excuse trotted out for SA2010, what was it this time? An excuse which will get trotted out is the abundance of overseas players in the Barclays Premier League which limits the prospects and options of English players at the top level. When I was a kid, England failed to qualify for the 1974 and 1978 World Cups at a time a significant majority of the players in the top flight were English. It will take more than regular appointments with globally renowned Sports Psychologist, Dr. Steve Peters who joined Hodgsons backroom staff back in March, to understand why failure stalks and hounds England.dddddddddddd Having worked marvels with the London 2012 GB Cycling Team, Peters was tasked with ensuring England played with an absence of fear. Hardly. Level heads dont aimlessly hoof balls away, as we often saw when Uruguay threatened. As all good dramas need a villain, so who better than Englands Tormentor in Chief on Thursday, Luis Suarez. David Beckham filled that role in 1998 after he was sent off in the Round of 16 match against Argentina. Such was the outcry still months later, an effigy of Beckham was hung up outside a pub near West Hams ground on the day Manchester United were playing at Upton Park. Anything like that occurs; Suarez could use it as reason not to return to Liverpool. Earlier on Friday the Spanish newspaper, El Mundo Deportivo reported there is a €80m ($110m) release clause in the Uruguayans contract that Barcelona are close to striking. The post-match comments from Suarez where he rebuked the English public and took to task Roy Hodgson could be taken as an indicator of an Anfield exit strategy. In the mould of the French Football Federations Clairefontaine, or the FIGCs Coverciano facility the opening in late 2012 of St Georges Park which is home to all levels for both the England men and womens national teams will certainly be of benefit to the next generation. However, for the more senior members of the squad this was their last shot at World Cup glory. Following one of his worst performances in an England shirt Thursday, where his mistakes led to both of Uruguays goals, it was not the way Steven Gerrard would have wanted to exit the international arena. The Liverpool captain is expected to announce his international retirement following the World Cup. This may come even as early as following the final whistle next Tuesday when Costa Rica will be looking for the scalp of a previous World Cup champ for a third straight time game.
