The Lightning are doing everything they can to help  发帖心情 Post By:2014-11-26 8:55:50

Canada has won their fourth medal of the Sochi Games, a silver in the figure skating team event. Bob Probert Authentic Jersey . Kevin Reynolds started the second day of the team event finishing second in the mens free skate before Kaetlyn Osmond finished fifth in the ladies free skate. With the team guaranteed to finish second, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir wrapped up the event finishing second in pairs. More details to follow. Ted Lindsay Red Wings Jersey .Y. - Henrik Lundqvist wasnt happy going into Game 6 against Montreal. Bob Probert Red Wings Jersey . Nick Bonino and Matt Beleskey also scored in regulation and Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots for the Ducks, who will face Dallas in the opening round of the post-season. Anze Kopitar had two goals, including the tying one with 3:12 left in the third period, and Dustin Brown also scored for Los Angeles. The NHLs 60-goal club includes Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Brett Hull and seven other members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Steven Stamkos is tantalizingly close to becoming the newest member. The Tampa Bay Lightning star needs to score one more goal in the season finale at MTS Centre in Winnipeg on Saturday night to put his name in the history books. There have been just 38 seasons of 60 goals or more in the NHL by a total of 19 players -- almost all of them during the leagues offensive explosion in the 1980s and early 90s -- and Stamkos is vying to join Alex Ovechkin as the only ones to accomplish the feat since 1996. "Its a tribute to his willingness to focus on the small details and paying the price," said Lightning coach Guy Boucher. "Because thats what it is, really: If you want to score goals youve got to go to the front of the net and youve got to go around it." The pursuit of 60 has been tracked closely, particularly with the Lightning having been eliminated from playoff contention before heading on the road for three games in Canadian cities to close out the schedule. Its no coincidence that Stamkos took his game to another level this year. His biggest weapon the last couple seasons was a one-timer that proved to be downright lethal on the power play -- at least until opponents started keying in on it and finding ways to take it away. That forced Stamkos to start going to harder areas on the ice and made him a much more effective player. The result? Stamkos has scored 47 of 59 goals while the Lightning were at even strength this season, the highest total by any NHL player since 1993. "I think Steven has really developed his even strength game," said Boucher. "Its not even comparable to the beginning of last year." From a goal-scoring standpoint, the season is Ruthian in nature. Only three other NHL players have even hit 40 goals as scoring around the league continues to decline. As recently as the all-star game in late January, there would have been few who believed the plateau was within reach. Since then, Stamkos has scored 27 times in 33 games and heads into the finale in Winnipeg witth good vibes, having scored in both previous visits to MTS Centre this season. Johan Franzen Authentic Jersey. . The 22-year-old former No. 1 pick is accustomed to dealing with attention and seems to be taking his headline-grabbing run in stride. "I get asked about it every day, so its tough not to (think about it)," said Stamkos. "Its something that you never know if youre going to get that close again in your career, so you might as well try to at least go for it. Its not something Im pressing. "I was thinking more about getting to 50 when I was around 47, 48 goals, to be honest. If its going to happen, its going to happen." The Lightning are doing everything they can to help. Stamkos saw more than 25 minutes of ice time during a 3-2 loss in Toronto on Thursday night and directed eight shots on goal, with one of them finding the back of the net. The Leafs players took some pride in not allowing No. 60 to be scored in their building and that will surely be a motivator for the Jets as well. In recent days, Boucher has tried to downplay the significance of the milestone. While he doesnt think it has affected Stamkos, hes seen a change in teammates who are working too hard trying to find him with a perfect pass. He also believes it doesnt really matter what his star players exact goal total ends up being. "To the media its 60 goals, to the fans its 60 goals, but to him he doesnt care," said Boucher. "He really doesnt. Hes an unselfish guy. Hes never cared about the numbers." But this is a number worth caring about. Only two players have finished a season sitting at 59 goals -- Marcel Dionne and Pavel Bure -- and in Dionnes case he would never hit 60. Without question, its an exclusive club and this could represent the best chance Stamkos ever gets to join it. "Im not trying to think about that too much," he said. "At this time of the year, it doesnt mean much to our team because were not in the playoffs. I know everyones going to be trying to get me the puck, no matter what I say -- thats the kind of guys that we have on our team -- but it would mean a lot more to me if we were in the playoffs."
