Thanks to , the NHL has a highlight moment to celebrate from the 2015 Winter Cla sic.Brouwer's goal with 12.9 seconds to play in regulation gave the . A day that began with too much sun ended with a shining moment.WSH 3, CHI 2: Troy Brouwer the hero with late PP goal as the
Wei-Yin Chen Jersey Capitals take Winter Cla sic. theScore (@theScore) Along the way, the NHL's annual outdoor game gave fans plenty to like. But given the competition on a busy day in sports, it was likely hockey fans were the only ones who paid attention. That's the league's lot in life.Once again pitted against college football, the NHL had to make do with its core audience. That said, having the Blackhawks and their rabid fans watching won't hurt the Nielsen numbers. Capitals fans got to see their city's baseball stadium decked out for pucks and their hockey team deliver in a spectacle. The game came down to a late powerplay, resulting in heroics for the home team."They got the bounce they were looking for," Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews told reporters.
Andre Dawson Jersey "And we walk away with nothing. Its not a good feeling, especially with the excitement, the hype, the energy that surrounded this whole thing, leading up to this game."Blackhawks coach ? "We had a power play before that," he said. "So I think both teams had their turn and they cashed in." The 'Hawks also lamented failing to score on a 5-on-3 power play.By the way, Quenneville and Caps coach Barry Trotz are . Another plus for the '15 Cla sic.NBC didn't have to work overtime, which was a po sibility in more ways than one. When Brouwer corralled a loose puck after Alex Ovechkin's stick was snapped, he made a pretty play to score. No extra five minutes of play. No shootout.There also was concern the bright day would force the league to delay the start because of glare on the ice. The best answer proved to be splitting the first period, forcing each team to defend with sunshine in its goalie's face. It's not the perfect solution, but
Starlin Castro Jersey the expedient one.At least the temperature was decent for both players and the 42,000-plus fans at Nationals Park.What was impre sive? Look, by now hockey observers have come to expect miracles from NHL ice maker Dan Craig. But it remains among the great products of the Winter Cla sic that games are played on decent or much better ice sheets. Year after year, Craig andCo. are the undisputed MVPs of the outdoor game.It also should be said the transformation of Nationals Park into a mini-D.C. made a great background. The entryway ice that simulated the National Mall was a terrific idea, and the Capitol background added to the unique atmosphere."It's been kind of a circus around here," Blackhawks defensemanNiklas Hjalmar son told before the game. "Can't wait to go into the locker room and sit in the players' lounge and not have a camera in our face."There were suggestions, in fact, that the Capitol motif would be a welcome addition to the baseball stadium. That works, but it cannot be done where it was raised for Thursday's game, in front ofthe center-field fence. Baseball needs a neutral background for hitters to see pitches.There always are critics of team selection, and this was the second Cla sic for both the Caps and 'Hawks. That said, it proved to be a strong matchup of well-balanced teams. The worst the NHL could do is have a Cla sic between a power team and one that went flat ahead of New Year's Day or was wracked by injuries.Indeed, noted, the Caps are on a 9-1-3 run that put them atop the Metropolitan Division.
Miami Marlins Custom Jersey The Blackhawks, meanwile, were on a 15-3-1 run entering the game.It must be asked whether the NHL has watered down the Winter Cla sic with additionaloutdoor games, including last year's Stadium Series. Cla sic games, well played between even teams, will a sure that doesn't happen.Outdoor games have taken place in Canada, and at some point the NHL should take the Cla sic north of the border. It's unlikely the league would lose market because of a game between, say, the Bruins and Canadiens. In fact, that traditional rivalry would amp up electricity.One thing that should be improved? The "entertainment" before the game and between periods. The Cla sic will never be an event that draws a Super Bowl halftime, but it does deserve better than faded acts.I would have watched Billy Idol sing before an outdoor hockey game in 2015 but I was already watching The Twilight Zone. Jerry Beach (@defiantlydutch) Sorry, just making a list of the artists the NHL couldn't get for the Winter Cla sic before they settled on Billy Idol. Gonna take a while. Bruce Arthur (@bruce_arthur) Complaining about musicians is another win for the
Miami Marlins Hats NHL, because it means fans and critics aren't complaining about the game. Or the officiating. At least, not blatantly complaining.If the NHL continues to provide new venues and different teams, the Cla sic will deserve its title. But only if the games are as good as the 'Hawks-Caps game of 2015.

Just a few days after dropping Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in heartbreaking fashion to the Los Angeles Kings, the New York Rangers appear set to move on in trying to get back
Alejandro Villanueva Jersey to playing for the championship. and both report the Rangers will utilize their one remaining amnesty for the contract of Brad Richards. Richards has six years remaining on his contract that pays him $6.7 million a year, but played a reserve role in the Rangers' playoff run, scoring five goals and seven a sists while averaging 17
Hines Ward Jersey minutes on the ice during the postseason.Larry Brooks of the Post called it a "fait accompli" that Richards has played his last game for the Rangers, and the Globe's Fluto Shinzawa said that the Rangers would be right to use their amnesty on Richards due to his diminishing skills."When the Rangers needed Richards the most, the de facto captain didnt deliver," Shinzawa wrote,
Marcus Gilbert Jersey saying that Richards' legs are clearly fading. "Through the first four games of the Stanley Cup Final, Richards submitted zeros acro s the board: no goals,
Stephon Tuitt Jersey no a sists, no points."But there is still that financial incentive and it's pretty significant. According to Shinzawa, the Rangers owe Richards $1 million annually for the last three years of his contract. If Richards were to retire after the 2017-2018 season, Shinzawa reports that the Rangers would have about $5.7 million against the cap in dead money. No matter what player, franchise, or sport, that's a lot of money.With all

When we had adversity, we're sticking together doing the right things."It's fun to play on teams where you know guys are

This time, they didn't let it completely slip away.Tuukka Rask was pulled with 2:20 left to play, and only four seconds later, Meszaros beat Price with a high shot through traffic off a feed from Milan Lucic. But the Bruins failed to get
Jahlil Okafor Jersey the equalizer in the frantic final minute. Then Eller got loose to score into an empty net with three seconds to go."We weren't as good as them in the first period and that cost us," said Bruins forward Jarome Iginla. "After that, we were playing catch-up."The Bruins took control of the puck through the first 10 minutes of play. But Michael Bournival made a gritty play to get the puck around the boards to Subban, who left it for Thomas Vanek for a diagonal pa s. That gave Plekanec a shot into an open side for his third of the playoffs at 10:57.Subban was sent off for roughing after a high hit on Reilly Smith that also took out Vanek, sending the Austrian off the ice with an apparent right leg problem.
