The Philadelphia Flyers arent getting much right lately, but Vincent Lecavaliers scoring surge and the potential return of Claude Giroux are providing some hope. With Giroux a game-time decision, Lecavalier will try to help the Flyers avoid matching their longest slide of the season Tuesday night against the visiting Ottawa Senators. Viewers in the Senators region can catch all of the action LIVE on TSN5 with at 7pm et or listen live on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa with coverage beginning at 5pm et. Philadelphia (14-18-7) has been outscored 19-9 during an 0-4-1 stretch after starting a season-high eight-game road trip with three victories. The jaunt also cost the Flyers some money, as the NHL fined them for violating the collective bargaining agreement by traveling during the holiday break. Players were barred from traveling or practicing Dec. 24-26, and Philadelphia reportedly took a flight to Nashville on Dec. 26 before losing 4-1 the following night to begin this slide. The Flyers concluded the trip by giving up the first five goals in Saturdays 5-2 loss to New Jersey. Lecavalier, however, has been a bright after spending seven games as a healthy scratch. The veteran center has five goals with one assist in eight games since after scoring twice through his first 17. He scored his first power-play goal Saturday but was also a minus-3. Its a lot more than what I had two weeks ago, Lecavalier told the teams official website of being back in the lineup regularly. The more you are out there, the more comfortable you are, the more you feel the puck. Lecavalier has six points in his last four meetings with Ottawa (16-15-7), assisting on a goal by Wayne Simmonds in a 5-2 win in the most recent home matchup Nov. 19, 2013. Giroux had a goal in that meeting, giving him eight points in 10 matchups at Wells Fargo Center. Its unclear if hell be available for this one after his stretch of 168 consecutive games played ended Saturday due to a cut on the back of his left leg by a skate during Fridays 2-1 loss at Carolina. Having Giroux on the ice for this four-game homestand could provide a spark since hes compiled 22 of his 30 points there. The venue hasnt mattered for Jakub Voracek as he leads the league with 48 points. Hes collected 12 in 13 career games against the Senators, scoring four goals while setting up another in the last four. Ottawa has dropped four of six after squandering a pair of leads to lose 4-2 to Tampa Bay on Sunday. Frustration showed in the third period as the Senators were whistled for five penalties, including a double-minor on captain Erik Karlsson in the final minutes. A lot of it comes from frustration, coach Dave Cameron told the teams official website. I think we allowed our tiredness and fatigue to become frustration. I can guarantee you that of the nine penalties, there were a few questionable ones. So how many did we actually take is somewhere in between. But at the end of the day you get pegged for nine so you take nine. Karlsson leads Ottawa with 27 points and has four in his last three visits to Philadelphia. Kyle Turris has three goals in his last four games against the Flyers, and hes scored in each of the last two overall while adding an assist Sunday. USA Soccer Jerseys . While coach Doc Rivers high-fived fans and pumped his fist at the crowd, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul quietly congratulated each other. Lee Nguyen Jersey . Winnipeg trailed by five points in the final minute when quarterback Drew Willy completed a 13-play, 75-yard drive with Feoli-Gudinos 18-yard touchdown catch on third down to lift the Bombers to a 34-33 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night. http://www.soccerusafansshop.com/Jordan-...America-Jersey/.

Playing in his fourth major league game, Polanco broke a tie in the 13th inning with his first homer, helping Pittsburgh to an 8-6 victory over the Miami Marlins after the Pirates had a ninth-inning meltdown. Clint Dempsey Jersey . Judging by his performance Saturday night, Cotto has plenty left in the tank. Cotto became the first Puerto Rican fighter to win world championships in four weight divisions, stopping Sergio Martinez in their WBC world middleweight title fight Saturday night.The United States Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO) has today ordered that six Redskins trademark registrations be cancelled on the basis that they are "disparaging to Native Americans". Five Native Americans initiated the cancellation proceeding pursuant to the U.S. Trademarks Act, which "prohibits registration of marks that may disparage persons or bring them into contempt or disrepute." There has been some talk that the registrations have been cancelled, that the Redskins have lost all their trademark protection and that anyone can now go out and start selling Redskins merchandise without the permission of the team. All that is wrong. The trademark registrations have not been cancelled as of yet. The ruling was to cancel the registrations, but they remain in good standing, and will for some time. Challenging the decision will buy the Redskins time. The team will appeal the decision, and in the meantime, the trademark registrations will remain active. The Redskins can appeal the decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. They may also start a court action in District Court for the District of Columbia. They may also request reconsideration of the decision with the USPTO. Expect the Redskins to take its case to District Court since that will give them the opportunity to introduce new evidence. At the Court of Appeals level, they cant submit new evidence; rather the court is stuck with the record from the original hearing. On to the big issue: does the cancellation mean that the Redskins lose their trademark rights? The ruling to cancel the trademark registrations does NOT strip the team of its trademark rights or its ability to stop unauthorized parties froom using the Redskins marks.dddddddddddd The Redskins have acquired what are called common law trademark rights. These are trademark rights that arise by virtue of the use of the mark in the marketplace. By "use", I mean things like jersey sales and the mark appearing in TV broadcasts and online. And heres the key: common law trademark rights are enforceable and the Redskins could rely on them to stop a third party from making unauthorized use of its marks. This means that the team does not need a trademark registration to stop someone from making unauthorized use of its marks. Common law rights can be relied upon to do just that. While there are important differences between registered and common law trademarks as far as scope of protection, the fame of the Redskins mark together with national sales and use place the Redskins in a good position to stop others from using their marks. So if some guy in Wisconsin starts selling product with the Redskins trademark on it without the permission of the team, he should expect to receive a cease and desist letter from the team, and failing his agreement to stop, he could face a lawsuit. Apart from trademarks, the Redskins could also sue for copyright infringement if someone makes unauthorized use of their logo or stylized word mark. The decision of the USPTO relates only to trademarks and has nothing to do with copyright. While the potential cancellation is not fatal to the ability of the Redskins to enforce their rights, this is yet another blow to the Redskins team name. The pressure on the team and league to change its name continues to mount with no end in sight. Indeed, the question may not be if the team changes its name, but when.
