Every night of the Stanley Cup playoffs, TSN hockey analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan breaks down each goalies performance. Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins (5) – He had a brilliant game; it was a huge response for his average games before. He delivered when needed by his team; was the best player on the ice. He had huge saves on Bournival and Eller in first, Gionta on a breakaway in the second. He had elite rebound control: everything was just hitting him and dying. Huge left pad save again on Gionta in third period, great Subban pass to Weise and Rask makes a big right shoulder save. Stopped Gionta again in tight shorthanded. He was locked in all night, his positioning was outstanding. Made it look easy. Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens (5) – He had a big save on Bergeron in the first, a great reaction save on Smith in the second, handled the puck real well on wraps on boards and around net, and had three posts/crossbar plays against. He was poised, calm and cool in the third. When he was not busy, he did not lose focus on a few in-tight shots. Sign of tremendous mental toughness. Game-winning goal was a scramble play that was an odd bounce off the back glass to get in front. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings (3) – He had no chance on the first goal against. He was very composed on a big save on Perrault, a glove save on Silverberg was great as well. He had no chance on Selannes back door goal. He was his acrobatic self in net, made great saves on Maroon and Perry in tight. The Lovejoy goal was a short side shelf shot, stoppable with how good his glove is. Frederik Andersen, Anaheim Ducks (3) – He was calm and cool in the net, had a big save early on in game on Voynov. He had some rebound issues with a lot of pucks, but was great at battling in-crease. He had big saves on Williams, Kopitar, and Brown. Gave them a chance to win, until his injury. Jonas Hiller, Anaheim Ducks (4) – He came in cold with under 10 minutes left in the third, made good saves on Doughty, Kopitar and Carter right away. Tough task to come in cold, but he did a solid job settling in. Bad rebound on Richards goal, but found a way to hold on. Nick Jensen Jersey . - A pitch clock will be used this season during minor league games at Triple-A and Double-A, but it has been ruled out for the major leagues this year. Vladimir Konstantinov Jersey . After Mondays comments by Coach Claude Noel that its work first and skill second, and that more “A” games are needed, the Jets responded with a 47-shot effort. If not for terrific goaltending by Braden Holtby the Jets would have had two points in regulation. http://www.redwingshockeyauthentic.com/m...smussen-jersey/. Thats what he did over the past 2 1/2 years with the Washington Wizards. Wittmans approach helped turn the Wizards from pushover to playoff winners. Dennis Cholowski Jersey . Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Johan Franzen Jersey . J.J. Hardy drove in a run for the Orioles, who bounced back from an 8-4 loss in the series opener on Friday. Fresh off the 15-day disabled list, Derrek Lee went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Jake Arrieta (7-3) gave up three runs on five hits over six innings to pick up the win.MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Following a third-down incompletion, Philip Rivers sprinted 30 yards downfield to lobby in vain for an interference call.The San Diego Chargers never got closer to the goal line than that.Unable to block or stop the Miami Dolphins, the Chargers endured their third consecutive defeat and were shut out for the first time since 1999, losing 37-0 Sunday.The Chargers took the opening kickoff, drove to the Miami 22 and were stopped on fourth-and-1. They never crossed midfield again, while the Dolphins scored on six of their first seven possessions.We got destroyed, said safety Eric Weddle, an eighth-year pro. This is as bad a game as Ive ever been a part of. Its very humbling and extremely disappointing the way we came out today with so much on the line.The Chargers (5-4) remained winless in South Florida since January 1982, a stretch that includes eight consecutive losses to the Dolphins.A midseason swoon intensified with their third loss in a row heading into a bye week, and their most lopsided defeat since 1996.Well get this back on track, I promise you, coach Mike McCoy said. No doubt in my mind.The Dolphins (5-3) earned their third consecutive victory, this one for coach Joe Philbin, whose father died Friday. Weddle said he had the sense the Dolphins rallied around their leader.They sure played with energy and passion, Weddle said. Credit their whole organization for the way they played today, because that was as good a win as Ive seen.Afterward, Philbins shirt was soaked, thanks to a sports-drink dousing by his players.We promised him we would play our best game of the year, and we did that for him, guard Mike Pouncey said.Miamis Ryan Tannehill had a career-high passer rating of 125.6 when he called it a day after three quarters. He took full advantage of the Chargers ailing secondary by going 24 for 34 for 288 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He also ran for 47 yards on four carries.Meanwhile, the Dolphins front four dominated the Chargers line, harrying Rivers into a lost fumble and three interceptioons, two to Brent Grimes.ddddddddddddThey flat-out beat us, Rivers said. For 60 minutes they wore us out.The turnovers were especially surprising from a team that committed a total of five in the seasons first eight games.Rivers passed for only 138 yards and had a quarterback rating of 31.0, his lowest since 2007. He went to the bench for good late in the third quarter, and the Dolphins ended his Chargers-record streak of at least one touchdown pass in 28 consecutive games.I was terrible, Rivers said. When the quarterbacks terrible, its hard to win.The Dolphins, prone to slow starts this season, broke that habit and mounted touchdown drives of 77 and 61 yards on their first two possessions. Reshad Jones then intercepted Rivers to set up a field goal that made it 17-0 after just 21 minutes.The onslaught continued from there. In the Dolphins first seven possessions, the only time they didnt score was when Caleb Sturgis missed a 45-yard field goal at the end of the first half.The final score could have been even more lopsided, but the Dolphins stalled four times inside the Chargers 10-yard line, and those possessions netted a total of only nine points.The easiest way to say it is in all phases, we got beat, McCoy said.Things went wrong for the Chargers from the opening possession, when McCoy gambled by going for a first down at the Miami 22. Branden Oliver was stopped for a 1-yard loss, and Miami marched for a touchdown.Then it just unraveled, Rivers said.Notes: Chargers C Rich Ohrnberger (ribs) and DT Sean Lissemore (quad) were sidelined in the second half. ... The Chargers announced during the game that Rivers hurt his hand, but McCoy said the injury wasnt significant. ... Dolphins RB Lamar Miller left the game in the second half with an injury. He said he suffered a stinger that wasnt serious. ... Chargers RB Donald Brown, back after being sidelined by a concussion, carried four times for 23 yards.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve_Wine Cheap Canadiens Jerseys Cheap Predators Jerseys Cheap Devils Jerseys Cheap Islanders Jerseys Cheap Rangers Jerseys Cheap Senators Jerseys Cheap Flyers Jerseys Cheap Penguins Jerseys Cheap Sharks Jerseys Cheap Blues Jerseys Cheap Lightning Jerseys Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys Cheap Canucks Jerseys Cheap Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Capitals Jerseys Cheap Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
