AMSTERDAM - Feyenoord failed to capitalize on several good chances Sunday as it played out a 0-0 draw at Ajax in a tame edition of Dutch footballs fiercest
rivalry.

won 2-1 Saturday night at Cambuur Leeuwarden — with a six-point advantage over
Ajax, which is second, ahead of third-place Feyenoord.PSV weathered early
pressure at Cambuur before taking the lead when captain Georginio Wijnaldum
headed home a cross by Jetro Willems late in the first half.Memphis Depay
doubled PSVs lead in the 74th minute with a clever looping header over advancing
goalkeeper Leonard Nienhuis, before substitute Daniel de Ridder scored a late
consolation goal for the home team.It was a good response after getting knocked
out of the cup, PSV coach Phillip Cocu said. Second-tier Roda JC Kerkrade dumped
PSV out of the cup in a midweek clash.At the Amsterdam Arena, Feyenoord striker
Colin Kazim-Richards was chiefly responsible for only the second 0-0 in
Ajax-Feyenoord matches. Kazim-Richards squandered the two best chances of the
match, failing from close range in the 20th and 75th when he should have
scored.If we want to be champions, we have to do a lot better, said Ajax coach
Frank de Boer, who is chasing his fifth consecutive league title with Ajax.PEC
Zwolle stayed fourth after sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with AZ Alkmaar.

a deal is close, while USA Today cited an unidentified person directly involved
with the negotiations as saying the pact is for two years.
http://www.pacersteamofficial.com/joseph-young-pacers-jersey/ .C. -- Marcus Paige and his North Carolina teammates have endured so many wild
swings -- big wins, surprising losses, NCAA drama -- that no one can blame their
Hall of Fame coach for wondering whats next. CALGARY -- Two weeks after a
franchise record seven-game losing streak on home ice, the Calgary Flames appear
to be turning their fortunes around. Mark Giordano scored the game-winner and
Karri Ramo made 27 saves as the Flames knocked off the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on
Thursday night for their fourth consecutive victory - all of them at the
Scotiabank Saddledome. It comes two nights after Calgary knocked off the
reigning Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. "I would say tonight, by far,
is probably our best team win of the season," said Flames coach Bob Hartley. "As
a coaching staff, we cannot be more happy than we are right now. Those guys
deserve the credit. We beat quite a hockey club tonight. From Karri Ramo to the
six D to the four lines, everyone is chipping in." Leading 1-0 after the first
period, the Flames grabbed a two-goal lead at 3:38 of the second.
Mikael Backlunds shot missed the net but the puck caromed sharply off the end
boards and out the other side where Giordano rifled it in the short side as
goaltender Alex Stalock scrambled across. "There wasnt much room for Backs and I
knew he was going to shoot it so youre just trying to read the rebound and with
the new nets with them being a bit shorter, it comes out at different angles and
the goalie doesnt really have a chance to get across," Giordano said. "It was a
good bounce and I just tried to fire it as hard as I could on net." The ninth
goal of the season for Giordano extends his career-high scoring streak to eight
games (four goals, four assists). "I wouldnt have believed it (was possible). It
just seems like Im getting a couple of bounces. Im trying to be aggressive and
it seems the pucks coming to me at the right spot," said Giordano.
Lee Stempniak, rookie Sean Monahan also scored for Calgary (20-27-7) and
Jiri Hudler added an empty-net goal. Backlund and Dennis Wideman each had two
assists. The Flames, who are enjoying their longest winning streak since reeling
off five victories in a row in March 2012, are 4-0-0 with one game to go on a
five-game homestand. "Sometimes it goes this way. The main thing is we kept
working and nobody gave up when things were bad. Everybody learned from those
and we started to do the right things," Ramo said. Eriah Hayes, with his first
NHL goal, was the lone Shark to solve Ramo. San Jose (34-15-6) has lost three
straight. The Sharks entered the game on two straight shutouts after losing 1-0
to Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings on Monday, and 3-0 in Edmonton on
Wednesday, thanks to Ben Scrivens record-setting 59 saves. "Its a big concern of
ours right now. In our last eight games, weve only scored 13 goals and 10 have
them have come from three players," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan.

Pacers Jersey. "Obviously with injuries and every team goes through them,
you need others to pick up the slack and weve got to find that." San Jose was
held to eight shots in the first period but racked up 13 in the second,
including multiple chances to score on Ramo. In one mad scramble around the
Flames net, Hayes nearly scored only to have the puck cleared off the goal-line
by Giordano. The Sharks finally cashed in 46 seconds into the third as this time
Hayes would not be denied. After Chris Butler lost the puck in front of his net,
a quick passing sequence with Tommy Wingels and Patrick Marleau set up Hayes
less than 15 feet away and he buried a quick shot over Ramos glove. "Were
getting tons of chances, great opportunities right in front like that. Its a
little frustrating right now that the bounces arent going our way. Once the
bounces start going our way, were going to be scoring a lot of goals," said
Hayes, playing his 13th NHL game after being recalled from Worcester (AHL) on
Jan. 4. That goal ended a stretch of a 160 minute, 36 second scoreless drought
for the Sharks, who racked up 103 shots on goal before Hayes connected. "I think
we just need to get back to finishing," said Sharks captain Joe Thornton. "We
havent finished particularly well in the last three games and its definitely
shown on the scoreboard. Youve just got to concentrate in that last half-second
to see where youre going to shoot and put it in." The Flames restored their
two-goal cushion after Ladislav Smids shot went wide and bounced out the other
side for Joe Colborne, who directed it in front for Monahan. The rookie
redirected it out of the air for his team-leading 15th goal. "Obviously, its a
different feeling in the room right now. We have confidence as a group, were
sticking together, working hard and were having fun doing it," Monahan said.
Stalock finished the game with 26 stops as his record fell to 7-4-0. Making his
fifth start in his last six games, Ramo improved to 11-10-4. Notes: The Sharks
record for being shutout was 190:22 set in February 2007... Calgary LW
