CALGARY - On Tuesday Mark Giordano was told by Team Canada management that hes next in line for a spot at Sochi. Tonight hell face two other Canada defencemen in Jay Bouwmeester and Alex Pietrangelo as the St. Louis Blues visit the Scotiabank Saddledome. The Flames offensive struggles continued on Tuesday with a 6-0 road setback to the Phoenix Coyotes. Thomas Greiss stopped all 27 Calgary shots fired his way. It marked the fourth time in six games and fifth in the past 10 that the Flames have been shut out. Tuesdays loss came one night after Calgary notched a 4-3 win at Colorado. "They get the two breaks and then Phoenix just sat back and waited," Calgary coach Bob Harley said. "If you look at offense, they have more weapons that we do. Their top three lines can all score." Reto Berra was victimized for all six goals on 30 shots for the Flames, who have lost nine of their last 11. Calgary will play its next two at home, where it has lost four straight and has been outscored 10-1 in that span. Berra has been in net for both of the Flames previous games against the Blues this season, including a 3-2 loss in St. Louis back on Nov. 7. He made 32 saves in the shootout win in late December. It is unknown if Berra or Karri Ramo will start tonight. Ramo has faced the Blues just once before and that came back on March 6, 2009 while with Tampa Bay. He made 32 saves in an overtime setback. For their part, the Blues will be looking to grab a share of the Central Divisions top spot. The Blues have been on an impressive roll as of late, going 8-0-1 in their last nine games overall and 11-1-2 since a loss to Anaheim on Dec. 7. St. Louis notched a road victory in Winnipeg three days later to start a current 6-0-2 surge as the visiting club. That is the longest point streak on the road for the Blues since a club-record 11-game run (10-0-1) from Jan. 21, 1999-March 4, 2000. St. Louis kicked off a three-game trip on Tuesday night with a season-high sixth straight victory, besting the Edmonton Oilers 5-2. The Blues scored three times in the second period, with David Backes power-play goal in the frame the difference. Chris Stewart, Maxim Lapierre, Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrik Berglund also scored for the Blues, while Brian Elliott needed to make only 16 saves to win his seventh straight decision. "They played us pretty hard for the first half of the game before we got a power-play goal that allowed us to lock down the hatches after that," said Backes of his 17th tally of the season that came with 9:04 to play in the second period. Tuesdays win marked the quickest the Blues have ever reached the 30-win plateau in franchise history as they did so in their 42nd game of 2013-14. They will next try to win seven straight for the first time since Oct. 22-Nov. 7, 2010. A win would also move St. Louis into a tie with the idle Chicago Blackhawks atop the Central Division. The Blues, though, could be without forward T.J. Oshie after he had to be helped off the ice late in Tuesdays win following a knee-on-knee hit with the Oilers Taylor Hall. Oshie, who has 29 assists and 37 points in 42 games this season, is day-to-day. St. Louis will close out its road trip in Vancouver tomorrow night and Elliott is expected to start that contest. That means that Jaroslav Halak will make his first start tonight since allowing three goals on 13 shots through just 20 minutes of action on Dec. 28 versus Chicago. Halak, who also has recently been battling illness, is 3-5-1 with a 2.66 goals against average in nine career starts versus the Flames. He faced them recently on Dec. 23 in Calgary, making 26 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss. The Blues have still won six of their last nine versus the Flames, but have lost five of its past seven in Calgary. cheap jerseys from china .Y. - Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks know it will never be easy against the Celtics. nfl jerseys china . -- Ty Rattie made a splash in his return from injury Sunday night. http://www.cheapjerseyssafe.com/ .

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The NCAA suspended Ohio State wide receiver DeVier Posey for five more games Friday -- leaving him with only two regular-season games in his senior season -- and three other Buckeyes for one game for taking too much money for a summer job. Poseys attorney said he was incensed at the penalty. In response, the NCAA called Columbus lawyer Larry James contentions "patently false." Offensive lineman Marcus Hall, defensive lineman Melvin Fellows and last years leading rusher, Daniel Herron, will miss this weeks game at No. 14 Nebraska on Saturday. They also must repay benefits after receiving pay for work not performed from booster Bobby DiGeronimo, who has been banned from any further contact with Ohio State athletes. Posey, already forced to sit out the first five games, will not return until Ohio States home game against Penn State on Nov. 19. He will be able to play against the Nittany Lions and also the following week, the annual matchup with archrival Michigan that concludes the regular season. "I am extremely disappointed with the NCAAs decision regarding Devier Posey," Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement. "This penalty is harsh considering the nature of the violation and the five-game suspension already served by this student-athlete." James, Poseys attorney, was angry at the severity of the penalty. "Ive been doing this for 30 years and I have not had anything that I think has incensed me more," James said. According to the NCAA, Posey was overpaid $728. Herron and Fellows both accepted approximately $290 in excess pay while Hall received $230 in overpayment. Posey and Herron already had been suspended five games for accepting cash and tattoos from a Columbus tattoo-parlour owner. All but Posey will be available to play at Illinois a week from Saturday, although Fellows is out with a medical issue. In its decision, the NCAA noted the overpayment occurred over an extended period of time. James said he had records which proved that the players worked and were not substantially overpaid. "My hard evidence and common sense and logic from 30-plus years of practice tells me (the NCAAs decision) is not supported by sound, reliable information and documentation," he said. "We were able to document that all these players had worked the hours that they had said. Even if we were to concede where there might be holes, less than five hours are in dispute. That takes them under 100 bucks. In DeVier Poseys situation, (the NCAA) just absolutely disregarded evidence that any person with common sense would accept. Why they did it, I do not know." The NCAA lashed out in response to James contentions. "These statements are patently false," NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said. "To ensuure a fair process for the involved student-athlete, each reinstatement decision is determined based on its own merits.dddddddddddd The staff carefully reviews all information that the university puts forward during the reinstatement process. Poseys (suspension) is based on his own actions and responsibility for the violation." Herron, Posey, left tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas, along with star quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Dorian Bell, were suspended last December for the first five games this fall. Bell has since transferred to Duquesne. All were found to have received cash and free or discounted tattoos from Edward Rife, who has pleaded guilty to federal charges of money laundering and drug trafficking unrelated to the Ohio State case and is awaiting sentencing. Herron, Posey, Adams and Thomas were originally set to rejoin the team this week. Adams and Thomas have been cleared to play against Nebraska. When Ohio State went before the NCAAs committee on infractions on Aug. 12, the major issue was the players who took improper benefits from Rife and the actions (or inaction) of then-Ohio State coach Jim Tressel. Tressel, the Buckeyes successful coach for 10 years, was forced to resign because he did not tell his superiors when he found out about possible violations. He used ineligible players throughout the 2010 season. Soon after Tressel was pushed out, Pryor left school a year early to jump to the NFL and is now a member of the Oakland Raiders, although is suspended by the NFL due to his problems at Ohio State and his unconventional route to the league. James thinks the NCAA was harder on Posey because of his friendship with Pryor, who was at the centre of several areas of investigation when he announced he was leaving Ohio State. "My hunch is for some reason they have discredited him because he was close to Terrelle," James said. "I think thats what it is. As a result of that, they dont want to believe anything that we put forward. But I cant prove that." DiGeronimo helped run an annual charity event which led to three other players being suspended for the first two games this season. Ohio State is awaiting the NCAAs report of sanctions for the Tressel/tattoo violations. Smith said this week he expected the NCAA to announce final penalties late this year, perhaps in December. The university has offered penalties including vacating the 2010 seasons 12-1 record, returning bowl payments totalling almost $339,000 from last season, and accepting a two-year NCAA probation. The NCAA could add to those penalties based on all of the subsequent violations and suspensions. The NCAA also determined Posey accepted approximately $100 in golf fees from another individual, which it called "a preferential treatment violation." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
