KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The days since Jovan Belcher killed his 22-year-old girlfriend then shot himself in the head have been very difficult for his mother, who said Wednesday that the slayings have not diminished her love for the couple. Belchers mother, Cheryl Shepherd, had been living with her son and 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins to help care for their three-month-old daughter, Zoey, and was at the couples Kansas City home Saturday morning when Perkins was shot. "Thats my son, and I love him," Shepherd said in a brief telephone conversation Wednesday. "Shes my daughter-in-law, just like my daughter." Shepherd declined to say anything more about her son. Belcher, a linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs, shot Perkins at their home then drove with a handgun to Arrowhead Stadium, where he thanked Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel for all they had done for him. The men tried to persuade Belcher to put the gun down, but when police arrived, Belcher moved behind a vehicle, knelt down and shot himself in the head, police said. Shepherd, 54, said she was not happy about the release Wednesday of recordings of the emergency phone call she made Saturday after Perkins was shot. "I just got a phone call that they did that, and I dont appreciate it," she said. "Right now I dont want to talk about it." In the emergency call, Shepherd begs Perkins to "stay with me" while frantically asking for an ambulance. She tells the dispatcher that Perkins is "still breathing but please hurry. ... They were arguing, please hurry." Shepherd also told dispatchers that Perkins was bleeding, "just barely" awake and that it looked as though she was wounded in the back. She said Perkins moved when she spoke to her. When a police dispatcher asked about Belcher, Shepherd says only: "He left." When police arrived at the couples home at about 7:50 a.m., they said in an incident report that they found Perkins body on the floor of the master bathroom with multiple gunshot wounds. Shepherd, who has temporary custody of the couples baby, said she and Perkins were very close. "She was a lovely, beautiful young woman. And we had a beautiful relationship," Shepherd said. Shepherd said her family has been helping her a great deal since the shootings, but that she has had trouble eating and sleeping as she works on her sons funeral arrangements. "Right now Im working on everything," she said. John Kuhn Packers Jersey .

LOUIS -- Alex Pietrangelo and the St. Louis Blues were eager to get back to work after a loss Tuesday night in Columbus. "Its a great answer after that game in Columbus," Pietrangelo said after picking up three assists in a 5-1 victory over the New York Islanders Thursday night. The Blues had dropped a 2-1 decision against the Blue Jackets, who have the NHLs worst record. It wasnt the result one of the top teams in the Western Conference expected. "We were just really disappointed the other night in Columbus," said winger Andy McDonald, who scored his first goal of the season Thursday. "We just didnt have the effort we wanted in Columbus and we talked about before the game that we needed a big night tonight." McDonald has played only six games after missing 51 with a concussion. T.J. Oshie also had goal and an assist as he and Pietrangelo tied their career highs for points in a game. Kevin Shattenkirk, Jason Arnott and David Perron also scored. Brian Elliott made 26 saves, allowing only Frans Nielsens goal. Elliott has 19 victories this season. "Our best player tonight was our goalie. Our goalie was terrific," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Our goalie was our best player the last game that we lost. "Were giving up far too many chances. Were getting beat in areas that we havent gotten beat at in all year and were going to have to address it and get going, get a little bit better." The Blues have points in a team-record 20 straight home games (17-0-3) and have 25 home wins, one more that the Detroit Red Wings for most in the league (25-3-4). Theyre 27-0-0 when scoring three goals or more. The Islanders road winning streak ended at four. "Its a game of momentum," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "Its a game of surges. We went through a little bit of a lapse." Nielsen gave the Islanders a 1-0 lead just 59 seconds into the game, corralling his own rebound when his initial shot was blocked by Shattenkirk, then lifting the puck over Elliott. "It didnt start the way we wanted with a bit of a slow start, but once we got our legs going, it was four lines, 60 (minutes) and (Elliott) played a great game again," Pietrangelo said. The Blues came back with two goals to grab a 2-1 lead on goals by Arnott and Shattenkirk. Arnott was able to lift a shot in tight over Al Montoyas left shoulder with 5:20 lleft in the period to tie it.dddddddddddd. Then, on their first power play of the game, Shattenkirks first goal in 16 games on a one-timer squirted through Montoya with 2:48 left in the period for a 2-1 lead. Backes supplied the screen in front. The Blues kept up the pressure in the second, with McDonald getting his first of the season for a 3-1 lead, but the key sequence came at the other end. Elliotts key pad stop on Jay Pandolfo prevented the Islanders from tying the game, and the Blues were on the attack with an odd-man rush. Montoya stopped Jamie Langenbrunners initial shot, but McDonald crashed the goal and backhanded the rebound in at 2:53. "Its 3-1 and at this time of year, it comes down to special teams," Capuano said. "Its huge and they executed tonight on their power play and we had some chances to get back in it and it just wasnt there for us tonight." Perrons tip of Pietrangelos shot from the right point 8:52 into the period made it 4-1, making the Blues 2 for 2 on their first power plays. Oshie tipped Pietrangelos point shot from the slot through Montoyas pads with 5:07 left for the Blues fifth goal on only their 19th shot of the game. "Its my job to stop those," said Montoya, a surprise starter after Evgeni Nabokov came down with the stomach flu earlier in the day. "Its a tight game, its a game of bounces right there. A save here and a save there could have been huge and could have turned the tide either way." The Blues needed to kill off three New York power plays in the third period and maybe let up a bit after grabbing a four-goal lead, but finished off another win. "Thats what we were looking for for sure," Oshie said. "Our start of the game was a little bit of a concern up to about the last five minutes of the first period, but from then on, everyone was going, everyone was playing good, getting back to that north game and coming back hard."
