hwin claimed a first Test five-for against Antworten

TORONTO -- Sidney Crosby has been surrounded by the best hockey players on the planet at the World Cup of Hockey, and still seems as if he is in a class by himself.Hes probably the best player of our generation, Canada goaltender Carey Price said.The Pittsburgh Penguins superstar has a World Cup-high nine points -- two more than anyone else -- and is within a win of adding another accomplishment to his Hockey Hall of Fame-ready resume. Canada will play Team Europe in Game 2 on Thursday night, leading the best-of-three series 1-0.The eight-nation European team has been led lately by Tomas Tatar, who scored his teams only goal in a 3-1 loss Tuesday night. The Slovakian forward scored twice, including the game-winner, in a 3-2 overtime victory over Sweden in the semifinals on Sunday.Tatar, who plays for the Detroit Red Wings, acknowledged he is inspired by Crosbys greatness. And he knows slowing Crosby down is a key to forcing a Game 3 on Saturday night.Im not saying one guy should be standing by him, but we should be always aware of where he is on the ice, Tatar said.Crosby has been much more effective than he was in his last best-on-best tournament appearance. He had only one goal and two assists at the 2014 Sochi Games, where he won his second Olympic gold medal.In the World Cup opener against the Czech Republic alone, he produced as many points with a goal and two assists in a sensational stretch of the game that lasted less than 20 minutes.Crosby insisted he could not care less that he has already tripled the number of points he had in Russia.I just want to win, he said. At the end of the day, thats what you want to do. In Sochi, it was more about why werent we scoring, low-scoring games, and the teams we were playing were supposed to be winning by a certain amount of goals.At the end of the day, we were winning games, he said. Its always nice to score, but we knew that we had to play a certain way and sometimes that meant not scoring five or six to win.Mike Babcock, Crosbys coach at the previous two Olympics, put Crosby on a line with Boston Bruins teammates Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron at the World Cup. The trio has combined for 22 points in five games.He got feeling it early, Babcock said. And, hes feeling it and he thinks its going in.Crosby has continued the roll he started last season when he won his second Stanley Cup and was named the postseason MVP with 19 points in 24 games. He was the runner-up for the Hart Trophy, coming close to being named NHL MVP for the third time in his career. And, he finished a career-high seventh in voting for the Selke Trophy that recognizes the leagues best defensive forward.Hes been obviously playing really well since last December, said Zdeno Chara, a Team Europe defenseman who also plays for the Bruins. He really raised his game.Canadian and Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said Crosby is probably playing better than he ever has.The three tournaments Ive had the opportunity, I would say hes playing unbelievable, Doughty said. Things are working for him now. Hes hot. Not that he didnt play well at the other tournaments, he just didnt get his hot.---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Fake College Jerseys . LOUIS -- St. Fake Nike Jerseys . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. http://www.fakejersey.com/ . Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview. "We just dont know what the results from Torino will be," Budgett said. Fake Soccer Jerseys . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Fake Adidas Jerseys . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.India advanced their lead over England to 298 runs on day three of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, with Virat Kohli hitting fifty. Stuart Broad somewhat allayed concerns over a possible foot injury by taking 2-6 to help reduce the hosts to 40-3 before Kohli - following his first-innings 167 - countered with an unbeaten 56 from 70 balls to see India safely to stumps on 98-3.Earlier, England - resuming the day on 103-5 - were bowled out for 255, with Ben Stokes hitting 70 and Jonny Bairstow 53. Watch the best of the action from Day Three in Visakhapatnam. The pair put on 110 for the sixth wicket, stifling an Indian attack that had ripped through the tourists top order the previous evening.But England couldnt keep Ravichandran Ashwin (5-67) out of the game for long, with the offspinner claiming a first Test five-for against England as India earned a 200-run lead.Englands morning started in strange fashion as Bairstow injured himself while going through his warm-ups on his way out to the middle. It obviously didnt affect him too greatly, however, as he and Stokes continued through to a century stand. Ravichandran Ashwin claimed a first Test five-for against England Ashwin wasted Indias remaining review with his first ball of the day, impulsively calling for DRS thinking hed trapped Bairstow lbw, but it was glove, not pad, which the ball hit.Ashwin could, however, have had Stokes out stumped on 21, but Wriddhiman Saha failed to gather the ball cleanly. Jonny Bairstow was in trouble before even getting to the crease on day three in Visakhapatnam.dddddddddddd From there, Stokes and Bairstow both went serenely through to their fifties, though the latter fell just before lunch, bowled by a beautiful delivery from Umesh Yadav (1-56) which reversed sharply back into the right-hander.India took the second new ball shortly after the interval, but the seamers were wasteful, conceding 28 runs from the opening 4.4 overs.The re-introduction of spin brought the breakthrough, and the key scalp of Stokes, given out lbw in Ashwins second over back.Stokes called for a review, and there seemed to be an inside edge on replay, but it mattered little as a catch was claimed too at silly point. Ben Stokes top-scored with 70 in Englands first innings Ravindra Jadeja (1-57) picked up his first wicket - Zafar Ansari lbw - before Ashwin wrapped up the innings, and claimed his five-for, with Broad and James Anderson trapped in front off consecutive balls, leaving Adil Rashid stranded on 32 not out.India opted not to enforce the follow-on, but struggled during the early exchanges of their second innings, with Broad claiming two wickets in a six-over spell that cost just six runs, with five maidens. Murali Vijay (3) and Lokesh Rahul (10) both fell after England reviews; Vijay given out caught at gully from an inside edge onto his pad, and Rahul getting a faint nick through to Bairstow behind the stumps.Anderson (1-16) added the wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara (1), bowled, after a painstaking 24-ball stay at the crease, but captain Kohli came to Indias rescue.He brought up his fifty, off 63 balls, in the final few overs of the day, sharing in an unbroken 58-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane (22no).Live coverage of the second Test between India and England from Visakhapatnam continues with day four, on Sky Sports 2 from 3.45am on Sunday.
