PHILADELPHIA -- Oliver Lauridsen and Danny Briere scored goals to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to 2-1 win over the New York Islanders on Thursday. Lauridsen scored his second career NHL goal on a slap shot high above the circle late in the third period to lift the Flyers to a win in their home finale. They missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007. John Tavares scored for the playoff-bound Islanders. The Islanders are headed to the playoffs for the first time in six seasons and failed to earn a point for the first time in 12 games. With playoff positioning still up for grabs, the Islanders dropped to seventh in the Eastern Conference after the Rangers overtime win over Carolina. The Islanders clinched an Eastern Conference playoff spot in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday night. The Islanders end the season on a five-game road trip and finish Friday at Buffalo. As always, the Flyers had expectations of a deep playoff run. But injuries that decimated the defence and overall inconsistent play doomed the team in the lockout-shortened season. This summer is shaping up to be a big off-season of change for the Flyers. The team has not won the Stanley Cup since 1975. Coach Peter Laviolette is on the hot season and his return for a fifth season is in doubt. With a hefty $6.5 million salary cap hit and declining production, Briere knows the Flyers could use one of their amnesty buyouts on him. One of the top playoff performers in franchise history, Briere was limited this season because of a broken wrist and concussion. His first goal in 20 games was met with a loud ovation from fans in what could have been his final one at home. Brayden Schenn set up Brieres sixth goal of the season with a precision pass in the crease straight through defenceman Lubomir Visnovskys legs. Briere easily got the puck past Kevin Poulin. Tavares tied the game at 1-all just 1:37 into the second period on a tip-in for his 28th goal of the season. He was third in the NHL in goals entering Thursday night. Lauridsen put the Flyers ahead with a hard shot that whipped over Poulin stick side shoulder. Notes: The Flyers selected their individual award winners: Jakub Voracek was picked the team MVP and most improved; Kimmo Timonen, top defenceman; Scott Harntell, class and character; Zac Rinaldo, most heart; Claude Giroux, most stars of the game. ...

The brash and mouthy New York Jets coach knew he messed up Wednesday as soon as he said, "I would have had a couple of rings," if the San Diego Chargers had hired him as coach in 2007. The comments were taken as a slight at Chargers coach Norv Turner, who was hired instead and hasnt yet won a Super Bowl in San Diego. Turner immediately received an apologetic phone call from Ryan. "It was me, its all on me," Ryan said Thursday. "Im guilty. Absolutely. I did call Norv. I wont get into that conversation, but it was unintentional." Ryan, who made the comments during a conference call with Chargers reporters, insisted he didnt intentionally diss Turner, but rather was trying to compliment the job the Chargers have done in building a consistent winner. Turner got in a little jab of his own Wednesday when asked about Ryans comments. "I didnt have a chance to ask him this," Turner said, "but I was wondering if he had those rings with the ones hes guaranteed the last couple of years." Zing! Ryan was hired by the Jets in 2009, with bold — and so far empty — promises of Super Bowl success ever since. "I think were even because he did get me with a good shot," a smiling Ryan said. "Theres no question." With postgame handshakes a big focus these days after Detroits Jim Schwartz and San Franciscos Jim Harbaugh nearly got into it last Sunday, should eyes be focused on the Ryan-Turner meeting at midfield Sunday at MetLife Stadium? "I did ask Norv if I need to wear a helmet, but he assured me that I never did," Ryan said. Some fans and media thought Ryans comments could also have been taken as a slight to the Jets, perhaps that if given the talent the Chargers have had, he couldve already won in New York.dddddddddddd "I wouldnt trade this team for anybodys," Ryan said. "Ive said that forever." His players laughed off Ryans comments, saying that its just Rex being Rex. "We laughed," running back LaDainian Tomlinson said. "The guys who get offended by it are the guys in San Diego. We dont care, hes our coach. Weve got to play the game. ... Thats his way of kind of taking pressure off his players and putting it onto himself. Whatever Rex does, he has a way of challenging players to get the best out of them." But now, Ryan jokingly said he might need to say sorry again, and this time to Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum. "I do think Ill be able to get my relationship back with Norv," Ryan said with a grin. "I think well be OK. The one I do worry about is Tannenbaum, obviously, because he wont speak to me or anything else now." Its just the latest in an ever-growing list of uncomfortable situations Ryans mouth has gotten him in since becoming the Jets coach. "Obviously I wish this one never happened," he said. "It really was unintentional. I dont know what other word to use. I dont know what to even say." Wow, a loss for words? Thats another Rex rarity. "I was praising the heck out of them because I think they have a great organization," he said, "and I talked about (general manager) A.J. Smith because he really did put me on the map." Ryans first interview for a head coaching job came with the Chargers. "It led me to getting three interviews the next year, and then landing this job," Ryan said. "I really did mean those things sincerely. And the other thing ... it just happens." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
