The Rangers force Game Six and the Wild even the score; notes on Zuccarello, St.
Jake Butt
Womens Jersey . Louis, Cooke, Toews and more. RANGERS ROCK PENGUINS Facing
elimination, the New York Rangers invaded Pittsburgh, earned a first-period lead
and never let the Penguins back into it, winning 5-1 in Game Five, forcing Game
Six back in Manhattan. Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello each had three points
for the Rangers, while LW Chris Kreider and D Ryan McDonagh each contributed a
goal and an assist. Brassard, who was a point-per-game player for the Rangers in
a dozen playoff games last year, now has six points (3 G, 3 A) in 12 playoff
games this season, while Zuccarello is up to eight points (3 G, 5 A). Zuccarello
also had the best possession stats for the Rangers, with 16 shot attempts for
and seven against. The Blueshirts had 69.6% of the attempts with Zuccarello on
the ice and 48.6% when he was off the ice. This was only Kreiders second game of
the playoffs, and he was effective on a line with Derek Stepan and Rick Nash.
Both Kreider and Brassard tied for the Rangers team lead with six hits.
McDonagh, who only had one assist in 11 playoff games prior to Game Four, had a
goal and an assist, with both points coming on the previously beleaguered
Rangers power play. After scoring two goals on three attempts with the man
advantage, maybe the Rangers are ready to leave that PP slump in the rearview
mirror. After getting annihilated by Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin
in Game Four, the Rangers (led by McDonagh and Dan Girardi) were much more
effective against that duo in Game Five. While Malkin scored a goal, Crosby was
on for 13 shot attempts for and 18 against. The inspirational story for the
Rangers was veteran RW Martin St. Louis, playing a day after his mother died
suddenly. St. Louis didnt have his best game, but the Rangers rallied around him
and G Henrik Lundqvist stopped 31 of 32 Pittsburgh shots to keep the series
going. The Penguins line of James Neal, Jussi Jokinen and Brandon Sutter didnt
fare too well in the possession game. Neal, in particular, was on the ice for
28.6% of the 5-on-5 shot attempts when he was on the ice, while the Penguins had
54.0% of the shot attempts with Neal off the ice. In a must-win game, the
Rangers played with an urgency that they havent shown in this series and are
rewarded with a home date for Game Six. Theyre not out of the woods, by any
means, but deserve credit for a big road win. WILD AT HEART The Minnesota Wild
dominated play against the Chicago Blackhawks and won Game Four by a 4-2 score,
evening the series at two games apiece. Wild defencemen Jared Spurgeon and
Ryan Suter each had two points. Spurgeon, who had a goal and an assist, now has
five points in the playoffs. Suter is up to seven. Wild LW Matt Cooke returned
to the lineup, after serving a seven-game suspension and replaced Matt Moulson,
who is out with a lower-body injury. Cooke was an impact player for Minnesota,
playing a physical game (a game-high five hits), and chipping in an assist on
the first goal of the game. He set the tone. Wild forwards Mikael Granlund,
Erik Haula and Jason Pominville were all on for better than 70% of the 5-on-5
shot attempts, while Blackhawks RW Ben Smith had a game to forget, on for zero
5-on-5 shot attempts and 13 against. Smith spent the first half of the game on a
line with Jonathan Toews, who was on for seven attempts for and 21 against, his
25% Corsi% was his lowest of the year. Toews faced the Wilds top defence pair,
Suter and Jonas Brodin, for most of the night. Blackhawks RW Marian Hossa had
two assists and D Brent Seabrook had one; they are tied for Chicagos playoff
scoring lead with 10 points. Neither goaltender, Chicagos Corey Crawford or
Minnesotas Ilya Bryzgalov, looked sharp, but with the Wild controlling play,
they had more opportunities to take advantage against Crawford. In front of a
rowdy home crowd, the Wild continued their winning ways, now 5-0 at home in the
postseason. If theyre going to pull off the upset, though, they are going to
need to win at least one in Chicago. Scott Cullen can be reached at

Goldeyes (20-12) past the Capitales 11-5 Friday night at Le Stade Municipal in
Quebec City.
http://www.broncosproauthentic.com/Black-Friday-Jake-Butt-Jersey/ . The mood in Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions
began near the Space Needle and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of
the team. At a ceremony inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers
-- the 12th Man -- capping a day of boisterous celebration that drew an
estimated 700,000 revelers to Seattle.ATLANTA -- Adam Wainwright was dominant on
the mound. He wasnt too shabby at the plate, either. Wainwright pitched eight
strong innings and helped himself offensively, outscoring Atlanta all by himself
to lead the St. Louis Cardinals past the Braves 7-1 on Wednesday night.
Matt Holliday drove in three runs and Peter Bourjos homered for the Cardinals.
Wainwright (6-2) bounced back from his worst start of the season, having
surrendered 10 hits and six runs to the Chicago Cubs. He had no trouble against
the struggling Braves, holding them to six hits and striking out six. He was
lifted after 103 pitches. But that was only part of the story. Wainwright had
two hits to raise his average to .400 on the season, and came around to score
both times. "He said he was going to impress some people offensively," manager
Mike Matheny said. One night after breaking a seven-game losing streak, their
longest in nearly two years, the Braves returned to a familiar pattern.
Freddie Freemans third-inning single drove home the lone run for an offensively
challenged team that has scored more than four runs only once in its last 16
games. Atlanta went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position and was held to
one run or fewer for the 13th time this season. "We thought we had a little
momentum after last night, then we run into a brick wall," Braves third baseman
Chris Johnson said. "Hes tough. It seems like every time you go up there, he
throws you something different in a different spot." Bourjos hit his first homer
of the season with two outs in the second off Mike Minor. Wainwright led off the
third with a double and came around to score. Holliday blew it open with a
two-out, two-run single in the fourth. Minor (0-2) lasted just 4 1-3 innings,
roughed up for 11 hits and six runs in his second start back after starting the
season on the disabled list. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Minor had
trouble with his breaking pitches. Minor disagreeed, saying he got sloppy with
the command on his fastball the second time through the order.

Walker Jersey. Whatever the case, the Cardinals seemed to know what was
coming. "It was not a very good performance by the guy on our side, and a really
good performance by the guy on their side," Gonzalez said. "Thats the result you
get." Minor ran into trouble throughout the Cardinals lineup. Up top, leadoff
hitter Matt Carpenter reached base four times on three hits and a walk, scored
twice and drove in a run. Holliday had three hits in the third spot, knocking in
the final run with a single in the ninth off Luis Avilan. Further down in the
seventh spot, the light-hitting Bourjos had three hits and two RBIs after coming
in with a .179 average, including a drive into the seats in left-centre for his
first career NL homer. Then there was Wainwright, one of the games
better-hitting pitches, doing plenty of damage in the nine hole. The Braves went
down meekly after their last threat in the sixth, when they failed to take
advantage of runners at first and third with one out. Wainwright retired the
last eight hitters he faced and wanted to go back out for a shot at his second
complete game. Matheny made it clear his pitcher was done. "He had had enough of
me," Wainwright quipped. NOTES: RHP David Hale, who lost his spot in the Atlanta
rotation when Minor returned from the DL, retired all eight hitters he faced
after taking over in the fifth. ... Braves RHP Ervin Santana threw in the
bullpen with no problems after missing a start because of an injured thumb. He
will start Saturday against the Cubs. ... Matheny gave struggling 1B Allen Craig
the day off and started Matt Adams. "When youre not right, youre not right,"
Matheny said, hoping a couple of days off would help Craig snap out of it. ...
Both teams are off Thursday. The Cardinals will next play a weekend series at
Pittsburgh, while the Braves are hosting the Cubs.
