their opponents hands at centre ice,
lw789 Gast	# 24.09.2016 - 10:38:45     zitieren ANAHEIM, Calif. Bennie Fowler Broncos Jersey . -- The way last season ended for the Dallas Stars left a bad taste in everyones mouth throughout the organization, and theyre determined not to let it happen again. Loui Eriksson had a fluke goal 13 seconds after the opening faceoff and scored again early in the third period, leading Dallas to a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night and helping extend the Stars winning streak to five games. Mike Ribeiro also scored for the Stars, 6-1-0 after missing the playoffs in each of the previous three seasons. Its their best start since 2006-07, when they won eight of their first nine and finished 50-25-7 before losing in the first round of the playoffs. The only other time they started 6-1 was 1996-97. The Stars have never missed the playoffs in four consecutive seasons. "We set a goal to make the playoffs, and I think what happened last year gives us more (incentive)," said Kari Lehtonen, who made 35 saves to run his record to 6-0. "We started very well last year, too, but then we faded away when other teams started getting better. We remember how hard it was to miss the playoffs, so we dont want that to happen again. Hopefully, we can work and get better as a team and keep playing well and getting these wins." Lehtonen started Dallas final 23 games last season, going 11-7-5 with a victory and a pair of overtime losses against the Ducks. The Stars road loss against Minnesota in the regular-season finale prevented them from getting a playoff berth and cost coach Marc Crawford his job. Had Dallas won its final game last season, the Pacific Division would have become the first to put five teams in the playoffs since 1997-98, when the Northeast Division had five of six teams get in. The following season, the NHL went from four divisions to six after expanding to Nashville. "Its a very tough division, and theres a lot of parity," defenceman Stephane Robidas said. "We lost our last game last year, and thats why we didnt make the playoffs. So every point that we can get is huge. So early in the season, weve got to take advantage and make sure were ready to play every night." Lehtonen made 35 saves, giving up a power-play goal to reigning MVP Corey Perry with a tenth of a second left in the second period after the Stars took a 2-0 lead. Lehtonen has a 1.48 goals-against average during his six-game winning streak. Its the longest at any point of a season during his NHL career and the longest by any goalie since the franchise moved from Minnesota to Dallas -- eclipsing Marty Turcos record. The Stars only loss came with Andrew Raycroft in net. "Were kind of getting used to it from Kari, and were relying on him to make a lot of those saves," left wing Brenden Morrow said. "Weve been getting outshot almost double some nights, and hes been huge for us. That was the case tonight. Were a team in transition. Weve got a new coach and six or seven new faces. But the success that were having now is something we can build on." Lehtonen has faced at least 37 shots in five of his starts. Since the start of last season, he is 14-3-2 when facing 35 or more. "Hes a world-class goalie, and we know what kind of start hes had, but I dont think we did enough as a team to generate enough consistent pressure," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "And anytime we did, there werent a lot of second opportunities. And on some of our best opportunities, we either misfired or shot it right into him." The Ducks loss ended their four-game winning streak. Lubomir Visnovsky hit the left post with a long wrist shot from the right point in the opening minute of the second period with Perry setting up a screen in the low slot. Lehtonen got another break at 4:12 of the period, when a goalie-interference penalty against Perry negated defenceman Cam Fowlers apparent power-play goal. Anaheims Jonas Hiller, back between the pipes after watching backup Dan Ellis 3-2 victory win at San Jose on Monday night, stopped 16 shots. Hiller got an early wake-up call when Eriksson played the puck at the goal line to the right of the net after a dump-in by Steve Ott and banked it in with a backhander from a sharp angle. "Our game plan was to get the puck deep, and thats what Ott did," Eriksson said. "He rimmed the puck around and it bounced out to me. I was just trying to get it to the net, and it their D-man and went in. So that was a really good start for us." Hiller, 3-0 with a 0.97 GAA in his previous three starts, thwarted Jamie Benn on a breakaway 1 1/2 minutes into the first period after Ott sent him in alone with a long pass from deep in the Stars end. But Dallas made it 2-0 at 7:40 of the period on Ribeiros first goal of the season. Hiller stopped a one-timer by Alex Goligoski, but the puck dribbled behind him in the crease and Ribeiro beat defenceman Francois Beauchemin to it for an easy tap-in. Eriksson added his fifth goal at 1:42 of the third on assist from Benn behind the net, resulting in his 17th career multigoal game. Benn also got an assist on Erikssons first goal. "We came out very flat," Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf said. "You cant do that against a good hockey club, and it obviously cost us tonight." Notes: Visnovsky, who led all defencemen in scoring last season with a career-high 58 points, has two assists through his first six games. His hat trick against Dallas on March 4 at Anaheim made him the first defenceman in franchise history to score three goals in a game. ... The Ducks have killed all 17 opponents power plays at home. ... The Stars havent lost a game in regulation when leading after two periods since Oct. 31, 2009, when Alex Auld gave up three goals in the third at Nashville in a 4-2 defeat. Shane Ray Broncos Jersey . The halftime video session worked. The Rockets didnt make another 3, and were held to a franchise-low in points in the second half of the Thunders 104-92 win. Denver Broncos Jersey . We have not discussed a new contract with AK Bars, said Burmistrov in an interview with Russian website Championat.com. I want to try myself across the ocean again, to fulfill my dream and play in the NHL.Things started off quite well for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but their January slide has pushed them out of playoff position. So whats exactly wrong with the Blue and White these days? The team opened 2014 on a high, defeating the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 in a shootout in front of more than 105,000 fans at Michigan Stadium for the NHLs Winter Classic. Since the outdoor win, the Leafs have dropped three straight games and have been outscored 18-5 in those contests. On top of that, the club has just five regulation/overtime victories over their last 31 games and a 4-13 record in the 17 games that ended in regulation. By comparison, the Leafs had 13 regulation/overtime wins in their final 31 games under Ron Wilson. Going into Friday nights game against Washington, theyve gone 2-7-4 in their last 13 road games, are 4-for-43 on the power play and their last road regulation win was Oct. 30 in Calgary. Is it the coaching? Many fans have called for the firing of head coach Randy Carlyle. In his lone full season with the Leafs, he led the team to their first playoff appearance since 2004. But is it possible that his good will with the players has taken a turn south? Many observers have blamed Carlyle for the Leafs defensive system, which has allowed a league-high 36.4 shots on goal per game and league-worst minus-9.2 shot differential. Others argue that the shot totals have been high all year and are nothing new for the Leafs. Their goaltending struggles, however, certainly are. Is the problem in goal? The Leafs relied on the strong play of James Reimer and more specifically Jonathan Bernier to get wins this season, but both have struggled of late. Bernier played 29 gaames with the Leafs this season before getting pulled for the first time on Saturday in a 7-1 loss against the New York Rangers. Ty Sambrailo Broncos Jersey. He allowed five goals on 32 shots in just under two periods of play. And Bernier struggled again the next time out against the New York Islanders, allowing four goals on 24 shots, three of them that Carlyle said Bernier wanted back. The Leafs lost again, 5-3. The team turned back to Reimer on Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, but he allowed six goals on 36 shots and the team lost its third straight game, 6-1. As TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger noted on TSN Radio 1050 on Friday morning, the Leafs, "played 60 minutes like they were killing a 5-on-3." At the same time, Torontos offence hasnt been anywhere near good enough to make up for the defensive shortfall. The Leafs top two scorers, Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk, have just one point between them over the last three games. The losing skid could be attributed to many things, but is it as simple as a Winter Classic hangover? The Leafs played most of December under the watchful eyes of television cameras documenting their lives, on and off the ice, for HBOs 24/7 Winter Classic series. When they won the game and shook their opponents hands at centre ice, the camera crews packed up and life was supposed to return to normal. But since then victories have been hard to come by. And now the Leafs find themselves on the outside looking in for a playoff spot with just under half the season remaining and Olympic break four weeks away. The time has come to ask, whats wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs? As always, its Your! Call.
