Marcelo Real Madrid Jersey . Catch all the action on TSN beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. You can also join our live blog and chat with your fellow fans on TSN.ca Connolly played eight seasons in Buffalo before signing a two-year deal with Toronto last summer as an unrestricted free agent. The 30-year-old has been hot of late, with 11 points in his last 11 games. The Leafs and Sabres split six meetings a season ago, but Toronto won the final three encounters. That series winning streak included a 2-1 win in Buffalo on Feb. 16 and ended Torontos seven-game road losing streak against the Sabres. The Maple Leafs ended a two-game slide in their last trip to the ice, downing the visiting Carolina Hurricanes in an overtime decision on Tuesday. Connolly netted the game-winner 44 seconds into OT, lifting Toronto to the 2-1 victory at Air Canada Centre. The difference maker came off a rebound of a Joffrey Lupul shot from the right circle, which trickled behind Cam Ward and somehow squirted to a trailing Connolly for an easy stuff-in. Connolly also scored in regulation, while James Reimer needed just 17 saves to earn the win. "We were controlling the speed, the shot clock and the scoring chances," Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson said. Toronto has lost two of its last three road games, but is still 9-7-0 as the visiting club this season. After tonights contest, the Maple Leafs will return to ACC for a three-game homestand, which begins with Saturdays matchup with Vancouver. Toronto is currently second in the Northeast with 35 points, while the Sabres are two points back and tied with Montreal for third. Buffalo is coming off consecutive home losses against the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators, dropping the Sabres to 1-1-2 on a five-game homestand that ends tonight. The Sabres are just 7-9-3 as the host this year. After losing 4-1 to the Rangers last Saturday, the Sabres were dealt an overtime loss by the Senators on Tuesday. Jared Cowen scored the game-winning goal 45 seconds into OT, lifting Ottawa to the 3-2 decision in western New York. On the winning goal, Jason Spezza brought the puck into the offensive zone on the left wing and flung it into the right corner for Erik Karlsson. Karlsson turned and found an unchecked Cowen, who buried it behind Ryan Miller after sneaking in from his point position. Paul Szczechura and Tyler Ennis lit the lamp for the Sabres, who have lost eight of their last 11 contests (3-5-3). Miller made 41 saves in defeat. The Sabres lost more than the game on Tuesday, as forward Ville Leino suffered an unspecified lower body injury in the setback and is expected to miss several weeks. Leino has so far not lived up to the six-year, $27 million deal he signed with Buffalo in the offseason. In 29 games with the Sabres this season, the Finnish forward has three goals and seven assists. Leino joins Buffalo forwards Brad Boyes (knee), Nathan Gerbe (concussion), Jochen Hecht (lower body), Patrick Kaleta (groin) and Corey Tropp (upper body) on the shelf. Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers is also sidelined with a broken wrist. Cristiano Ronaldo Jersey . -- Josh Smith saved his only 3-pointers for when the Detroit Pistons needed them most. Jese Real Madrid Jersey ... thanks to every "buddy" that was involved.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hello Kerry, After watching Nino Niederreiter clobber Alex Burrows with an open-ice hit on Wednesday, do you think he should have gotten more than the two minutes for interference. He got him in the head with his shoulder! Thanks,Gary Gary: While I do not like the contact that Nino Niederreiter delivered to the head of Alexandre Burrows one bit, a two-minute penalty was about all the refs could assess on this play under the rules. A more meaningful and deserved penalty to Niederreiter should come his way via a Player Safety Committee review of this illegal check to the head. I watched Mike Milburys take on this play during the NBC intermission of the Rangers-Flyers game last night. Mike didnt agree with the "interference" call since the puck had just left Burrows stick. Beyond that, Milburys comments relative to the Niederreiter hit included, "I dont mind it. I think its more than 2 minutes he should have got." (Which I interpret as no penalty was deserved in Mikes opinion.)I completely agree with one element of Mike Milburys assessment on this play; it was not interference! Nino Niederreiter however should be held accountable for the significant contact he delivered with his shoulder cap to the head of Alex Burrows from the side; which by the way I believe was avoidable. For ongoing player safety this hit, and all similar in nature, need to be regarded as an illegal check to the head in violation of rule 48.2—on a hit resulting in contact with an opponents head where the head was the main point of contact and such contact to the head was avoidable. That can only happen if those responsible for doling out punishment interpret the rule verbiage, "main point of contact" to mean "significant" contact to the head coupled with some/secondary contact with the body. Alexandre Burrows lowered his posture to reach for a puck through the neutraal zone. Luka Modric Jersey. After gaining puck possession Burrows straightened to an upright body position, glided a couple of feet and then released the puck. Nino Niederreiter approached from the side angle position with his skates in a glide and his posture coiled (knees bent and flexed) to deliver a body check that would appear at, least through this setup, to make contact squarely through Burrows body. Just prior to delivering the hit Niederreiter stiffened his legs, thereby elevating his posture significantly upwards towards the head of Burrows. From this strike position, Niederreiter slipped his body just off the center line of Burrows and continued to elevate his shoulder that made significant contact with the head of Alex Burrows. The contact delivered off the center body line and to the head of Burrows resulted in a helicopter freefall for the Vancouver Canuck player. I doubt very much we would even be talking about this play if Nino Niederreiter had maintained a lowered and flexed posture from the setup and approach through contact of his intended hit on Alexandre Burrows. Like most players however, Neiderrreiter made the dangerous decision to increase velocity through the hit by straightening with an upward drive of his legs and shoulder cap that had no other place to connect than the head area of his opponent. Rule 48.1 (i) (ii) (iii) provides lots of reasons to determine whether contact with an opponents head was avoidable. Practically all of these allowances place considerable onus on the recipient/victim of the hit. From (iii) Alexandre Burrows did not "materially change the position of his body or head immediately prior to or simultaneously with the hit in a way that significantly contributed to the head contact." The material change in position came from Nino Niederreiter. If the rule verbiage doesnt qualify hits of this nature as a "head pick," at the very least it needs to be acknowledged that significant contact resulted from an illegal hit to the head in an ongoing effort to hold players accountable. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys \' \' \' |
