NEW YORK, N.Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby earned second star honours, while San Jose forward Patrick Marleau was named the weeks third star. Gustavsson posted a 3-0-0 record over the week with a 1.67 goals-against average and .953 save percentage in helping the Red Wings (6-3-0) move into first place in the Atlantic Division. He recorded victories on consecutive days for the first time since January 2012, posting 28 saves in a 3-2 triumph over the Boston Bruins and 36 stops in a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Gustavsson then handed the Colorado Avalanche their first loss of the season, making 38 in a 4-2 victory. Crosby extended his season-opening point streak to a career-long eight games, leading the NHL with six assists and eight points as the Penguins remained atop the Metropolitan Division with a trio of victories. He opened the week by assisting on all three of Pittsburghs goals in a 3-2 triumph over the Edmonton Oilers. Crosby then had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Philadelphia and registered a goal and two assists in a 4-3 shootout victory over Vancouver. Marleau also extended his season-opening point streak to eight games, totalling three goals and three assists over the week. Five of those points came in the power play. He had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 triumph over the St. Louis Blues, one goal in a 4-3 shootout loss to Dallas, and scored the game-winning goal with an assist in a 6-3 victory over Calgary. wholesale nfl jerseys .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city. jerseys from china .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later. http://www.jerseyscheapnfl.us.com/ . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. wholesale jerseys .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem. cheap jerseys . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week they discuss the retirements of Simon Whitfield, Perdita Felicien and Jim Leyland as well as unwritten codes in sport. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to Simon Whitfield, who officially retired from triathlon this week after over a decade as one of Canadas defining athletes. When you ask him what he remembers best, its his surprising Gold at the Sydney Olympics. When you ask most people what they remember about Simon Whitfield, I find its what I remember: Beijing, when he kept getting dropped on the run by the lead group in that astonishing heat until finally he simply refused to be dropped, surging to the lead before winning the best Silver youll ever see. His career ended with that heartbreaking crash in London, but if you ask him, hes at peace with it; it was just part of the road. Simon Whitfields legacy in this country may be this: he reminded us that winning wasnt everything, and that losing wasnt everything, either. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to Jim Leyland, the gruff talking, cigarette smoking, old school manager of the Detroit Tigers, who walked away from the big league game after eight seasons in Detroit, and after 22 seasons as a manager at the age of 68. What made Leyland unique, more than how he did things, more than how he left himself so open to the second guess, is he was never fired as a manager, not in Pittsburgh, not in Florida where he won the World Series, not in his single season in Colorado and not now as leaves the Tigers on his own accord. His way. His time. "Thank you,&" he said, "for having me.dddddddddddd" Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: my thumb is up to hurdler Perdita Felicien, who announced her retirement this week. While best remembered for an Olympic tumble, she should be honoured as the first Canadian female track athlete to win a world championship. Felicien won the 100-meter hurdles in 2003, establishing her as the favorite for Athens 2004. Well, life and a hurdle got in the way. Felicien clipped the first hurdle and fell, taking out Russias Irina Shevchenko on the way down. This was not how Felicien wanted to bow out of her last Olympic race, but it was a quintessential Canadian sporting moment: she took the Russian down with her. Dave Hodge, TSN: my thumb is down to those unwritten codes that pop up in every sport. For instance: in the first inning of Game 1 in the World Series, Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma was initially given credit for making an out at second base but the umpires gathered to reverse what had been an obvious incorrect call. That, and the code, brought St. Louis manager Mike Matheny racing from the dugout to argue that his team had been victimized. He was doing what everyone expected him to do, so he did it. Wouldnt it have been refreshing if, instead, Matheny had calmly walked to meet Kozma at his shortstop position, placed his hand on Kozmas shoulder, and said the following: "I know you never caught that ball, and you know it, and the umpires know it Forget about it and catch the next one" and if after that meeting, Matheny had returned to the dugout with nary a word for an umpire? But the code would never allow it. cheap nfl jerseys authentic jerseys nfl wholesale wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
