as a defensive end can change a game

SAN JOSE, Calif. Discount Vapormax . - Henrik Lundqvist is playing like an All-Star, even if hes not recognized as one.Lundqvist made 30 saves just hours after getting passed over for the All-Star game and the New York Rangers completed a rare California sweep by beating the San Jose Sharks 3-1 on Saturday night.I want to be one of those guys, obviously, Lundqvist said. I see myself as a guy that can compete against the guys that are there. At the same time, theres a lot of guys having a strong season right now. For me, its more important to get the results right now.Chris Kreider scored one goal and set up Martin St. Louis for another for the Rangers, who have 13 wins in 14 games for the first time since 1973. That includes wins in a four-day span at Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Jose — the first time New York has even beaten those three teams on the road in the same season.Rick Nash added an empty-net goal to seal it.It was a great answering of the bell, Nash said. We talked about it for the three days before we came out here that this was going to be a gritty task and I thought we played great. Its impressive to get these three wins. At the same point, its just three wins.Melker Karlsson joined Jeff Friesen as the only Sharks rookies to score goals in five straight games when he converted on the power play in the third period. Antti Niemi made 28 saves.Even the return of Joe Thornton couldnt help the Sharks, who were coming off a second 7-2 loss to St. Louis in a six-day span. Thornton missed four games with a shoulder injury and the power play looked impotent in his absence with one goal on 19 attempts.San Jose looked sharp on its first power play against the Rangers in the first period, but couldnt get anything past Lundqvist, who responded to his All-Star game snub by reaching 20 wins for a 10th straight season.Thats the way it went for most of the night as Lundqvist was outstanding, including getting a piece of Joe Pavelskis shot from alone in the slot midway through the second to keep the game 2-0.We didnt finish our chances, Pavelski said. We played hard, but it came down to a couple of things, execution on certain things.The Rangers missed a chance to add to the lead early in the third when Niemi made a spectacular glove save along the goal line to rob Mats Zuccarello. The play went under a lengthy replay review before being upheld to the dismay of the Rangers.Pucks in the mitt, mitts in the net, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. Ill let you use your common sense.The Sharks then converted on the power play just minutes later when Karlsson knocked in a rebound of James Sheppards shot for the Sharks lone goal.The game marked the return to San Jose for defenceman Dan Boyle, who became the franchises career leader in points by a defenceman in his six years with the Sharks. Boyle got a bloody nose on his opening shift and had to go to the locker room. But he was back later in the first for a video tribute that was followed by a long ovation and stick tapping from both teams.It was an amazing moment, he said. It was just a minute long, but thats going to stay with me for a lifetime.The Rangers took nearly 10 minutes to get their first shot on goal, but still ended up ahead 2-0 after the first period when they scored after faceoffs in the offensive zone.Kreider set up the first when he tapped a loose puck to St. Louis, who knocked it in from the slot to make it 1-0.Later in the period, Kreider tipped a shot by Dan Girardi on goal after a faceoff win by Stepan and then tapped in the rebound.NOTES: Nash and Sharks D Brent Burns were picked for the All-Star game. ... Friesen had his streak in 1994-95. Cheap Yeezys Fake . - While he appreciates suggestions from Packers fans of remedies for his sore left calf, Aaron Rodgers is not necessarily going to listen to the advice. Vapormax 2019 Discount . Radulov scored the lone goal in the shootout, and the Predators edged the Minnesota Wild 2-1 on Tuesday night to reach 100 points for the second time in three seasons and fourth in seven. http://www.brandshoescheaponline.com/wholesale-air-max-china/max-95-clearance-sale.html . Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres came to an agreement on a big trade that may only offer incremental improvement to the Blues in their quest for a Stanley Cup.With an overall record of 53-54, including 9-6 last week, TSN football analyst Chris Schultz is back with his Week 8 selections in the NFL in Risky Business. San Diego at Denver (-7.5) Divisional game in the AFC West and on a short week both teams have challenges. For the Chargers it is to get back to ball control football and Philip Rivers efficiency. Against Kansas City they had only 21 minutes time of possession and were 3-for-10 on third down. With Denver the challenge is to come down from the high that they have after beating the 49ers 42-17. The running games on both sides will be key. For San Diego its just not the same due to injury at the running back position. For Denver Ronnie Hillman has been a nice surprise. Ill take Denver at home on a short week. Broncos. Detroit (-4) vs. Atlanta (at London) What was in recent years a suspect defence in Detroit is now the teams strength. And with the Atlanta offensive line made up of reserves it could be a good pass rushing day for Detroit. If Calvin Johnson is healthy - and he should be - Atlanta will have problems on defence too. Already Matthew Stafford has tied Bobby Lane for all-time touchdown passes in Detroit with 118, and has a chance to be the greatest Lion quarterback ever. This one will be over by 12:30 pm eastern as it is in London, England with a 9:30am start. Lions cover four, Lions. Buffalo (-3) at New York Jets Hard not to get excited for the Jets with Percy Harvin. As a player he can take a simple pass play and make it a major gain and as a kick returner, hes spectacular. The Bills go into this one without both running backs, CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson. Major advantage for jets. Jets, Jets, Jets! Chicago at New England (-6) Brandon Marshall was correct when he talked about all the talent on the Bears and how they only came up with 14 points last week against Miami. The Patriots coming off the Thursday night game needed the time to figure out how to adjust without Stevan Ridley and Jerod Mayo. The Jets ran for over 200 yards and if they give him an opportunity Matt Forte has the talent to duplicate that. This game will be the season for Chicago as a fifth loss going into the bye week and Green Bay could end their playoff hopes. Bears. Seattle (-4.5) at Carolina Both teams coming of losses as Panthers were dominated by the Packers, 38-17, and the Seahawks were embarrassed by St. Louis 28-26. Seattle is due. Two losses in a row is very unusual as it had been 51 games before back-to-back losses. Defensive team speed chasing Cam Newton all game long could make the difference. Seahawks bounce back and cover. Miami (-5.5) at Jacksonville The Dolphins are on a bit of a roll with dominant wins over Chicago and a competitive last play loss to Green Bay. Could be a good pass-rush day for Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon as defensive ends and Lamar Miller took over nicely in place of Knowshon Moreno. The pressure is off as Jacksonville finally won its first game. The pressure is on in Miami to go from 3-3 to 4-3. I think they get it done. Miami by 7 to cover 5.5. Dolphins. Baltimore at Cincinnati (-1.5) The Bengals were completely dominated by the Colts last Sunday in Indianapolis. The Colts had 27 first downs and the Bengals had eight. In Week 1, Cincinnati did beat Baltimore on the road 23-16 but that was when AJ Green was healthy. A toe injury is always an unknown recovery time annd if he had broken a bone it would have been better as it is easier to heal. Cheap Air Jordans From China. . How healthy is he? I just dont like the way the Bengals were totally and completely dominated by the Colts. And the Ravens defence is evolving into one of the best. Marvin Lewis has a challenge after the Patriots and Indy dominant losses over the past couple of weeks. Ravens. Houston (-1) at Tennessee I like Monday Night Football, I really do. But after the implosion by the Texans within three minutes of the second quarter, and the points explosion by Pittsburgh, I had seen enough. My television went off and I ended my Monday. Ryan Mallett is the future for the Texans. As a quarterback he has a cannon arm and confidence to match. But Ryan Fitzpatrick is the present and I think he is good. If they run Arian Foster and stay smart they win. Texans. St. Louis at Kansas City (-6.5) The Chiefs are a good 3-3 team and improving. The Rams are an up-and-down 2-4 team that does what it has to do to win. Jeff Fisher is an excellent head coach. Pass protection is always critical as Robert Quinn as a defensive end can change a game in one moment. But so can Tamba Hali and Justin Houston for the Chiefs! Chiefs! Philadelphia at Arizona (-2.5) One thing you know about Cardinal football; on any given down they will throw the ball deep and accurate. And Malcolm Floyd has a better yards-per-catch average than Larry Fitzgerald at 18.6 per catch. One thing you know about Eagle football; coming off the bye week the pace of play after play will be at an all-time high. With six games of experience fast, fast and fast is the pace. But did you know that since Carson Palmer has returned as quarterback over the course of 120 minutes of play Arizona has only trailed in points for 7 minutes and 49 seconds? Cardinals. Minnesota at Tampa Bay (-3) Interesting game as both coaches are very good. Lovie Smith is coming off the bye has a lot of talent to work with. He is figuring out who in his present personnel has the determination and work ethic to improve. Mike Zimmer has no fear. This is his team and will do things his way and given time he will produce. Two good head coaches. Bucs. Oakland at Cleveland (-7) Hmmmmm. Not sure about this. The Raiders have yet to win a game; pressure is intense and immense. Logic says take the Browns. I like logic. Browns. Indianapolis (-3) at Pittsburgh I hate numbers as they relate to football but the Colts’ dominance over the Bengals last Sunday was staggering. I know Le’Veon Bell left, right, and everywhere. And Antonio Brown here, there and everywhere. The Colts run defence is 50 yards better than last year and how about Tent Richardson, does he not look like a first round pick? Indy does two things in football extremely well: time of possession and big plays. Andrew Luck is not a check down quarterback. He’s second only to Rogers. Colts. Green Bay at New Orleans (-1.5) There is a lot of debate out there about who the best quarterback is. I dont know. But the best arm in football belongs to Aaron Rodgers. Packers. Washington at Dallas (-9) Good luck Colt McCoy. The surprise from Dallas had zero to do with offensive talent. The rotation of eight possible defensive lineman is in the extreme. And Gavin Escobar, where did this come from? Yes, I am jumping on the Dallas Cowboys train of success. Why not, it feels good! Dallas ' ' '
