hances of coming away with the top honour if the ball bounces in their favour.Friday says there is an Any Given Sunday mentality Antworten

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- When the Chicago Blackhawks make their usual visit to Anaheim on Black Friday, they always have a raucous cheering section of jersey-clad fans crowded against the glass from the pregame warmup onward.Although those fans didnt get to see captain Jonathan Toews this time, that only made the Blackhawks latest win in Orange County even more impressive.Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist, and the Blackhawks hung on to beat the Ducks 3-2 for their fifth consecutive win in the clubs post-Thanksgiving rivalry game. The Western Conference leaders have won five straight regular-season games in Anaheim since March 2013.Thats a big two points against a good team without maybe our most important player, Kane said. Youve got to feel good about that one.Artem Anisimov and Ryan Hartman also scored as the Blackhawks snapped their first two-game skid since opening week even without Toews, who missed his first game of the season due to an upper-body injury. Playing the sixth game of its draining circus road trip, Chicago took a 3-0 lead in the second period and hung on against Anaheims late surge with superb play from Corey Crawford, who made 34 saves.When youre missing a captain and one of your better players, you need to step up, Hartman said. I think we all did that and played a really solid game.Nick Ritchie and Jakob Silfverberg scored and John Gibson stopped 22 shots for the Ducks, who wrapped up a five-game homestand on a three-game skid despite fairly solid play during that stretch. Anaheim is used to feeling frustration after facing the Blackhawks, who knocked them out of the 2015 playoffs in a memorable seven-game Western Conference finals.The Ducks fell to 4-4-2 against the Blackhawks on Black Friday. They havent won this rivalry game since 2009.We just have to find a way to get us over the top, Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. Were going to focus on the process. Its hard, and theres a lot of positives, but you cant go down 3-0 to a hockey club and expect to come back in every game.The Ducks inexplicably poor production from their top line continued. Corey Perry hasnt scored a goal in 13 games, and captain Ryan Getzlaf hasnt found the net in 15 games since Oct. 16.Weve got to score goals, and that comes on me, Perrs and whoever plays on our wing, Getzlaf said. We play a lot of minutes, so weve got to put more pucks on net and score some goals. Weve been getting lots of opportunities, lots of looks. When the season starts turning, youve got to put those pucks in the net.The Ducks hosted an afternoon game on the day after Thanksgiving for the 16th time in their 22-season history, including 10 meetings with the Blackhawks. The game has become an annual tradition for both franchises -- and for hundreds of Blackhawks fans who show up in balmy Anaheim in even larger numbers than usual to roar for their cold-weather hometown.Anisimov put the Blackhawks up in the first period by finishing a two-man rush set up by Brent Seabrooks beautiful outlet pass to Kane. Anisimovs ninth goal of the season snapped his seven-game drought.Kane scored his seventh goal on a long shot off another pass from Seabrook during a power play early in the second period.Hartman connected late in the period, but Ritchie trimmed the lead 10 seconds later with an impressive shot in the slot, going through Seabrooks legs and into the top corner.An apparent goal by Anaheims Ondrej Kase was waved off early in the third period when the puck went off his glove before ricocheting into the net. Moments later, Silfverberg scored his seventh goal of a standout season on a wraparound.Game notes Toews was injured Wednesday at San Jose, and he is questionable for Saturdays game at Los Angeles. Rookie Vinnie Hinostroza took his spot, centering a line with Marian Hossa and Ryan Hartman. ... Anaheim dominated the faceoff circle, winning 49 of the 67 draws. ... Logan Shaw debuted for the Ducks, who acquired the forward in a trade with Florida on Nov. 16. ... The Ducks wore their orange third jerseys.UP NEXTBlackhawks: At Kings on Saturday.Ducks: At Sharks on Saturday. Cheap Air Force 1 Wholesale .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- USA Sevens mens coach Mike Friday has sent a defiant message to their rivals ahead of Tuesdays start to the competition: We are not here to make up the numbers.Fiji head into the Olympics mens sevens competition as favourites for gold -- a medal of any kind would be their first ever in the Games -- but below them, there are a number of teams who will fancy their chances of coming away with the top honour if the ball bounces in their favour.Friday says there is an Any Given Sunday mentality about the tournament and with this NFL mantra ringing in his players ears, there is a quiet confidence about the mens team.We arent the favourites as Fiji have that tag, Friday tells ESPN. The likes of Australia, New Zealand and Team GB are all in the mix but then there are other teams like France, Argentina and Kenya who will fancy their chances and for us, were confident we can win gold but we respect our opposition and we realise were going up against some super rugby powers. Any team can win it on the day.The margins are so slim between success and failure -- one missed tackle or dare I say it, one poor interpretation of the breakdown can swing ties. Its the nature of the game but what a wonderful event.Team USAs pre-Olympics camp has been hugely beneficial. They played Sonny Bill Williams New Zealand twice in Florida, with the spoils shared, which followed a spell of fine-tuning their fitness and game plan.Though Friday is reluctant to join the trend of declaring his side the fittest theyve ever been, he says were certainly in very, very good condition but it is the gains in their tactics and skills which have improved their medal chances the greatest.Part of the focus has been on recovering physically after the gruelling World Rugby Sevens Series which saw them finish sixth. Friday identified certain areas they need to improve on so their focus has been around technical aspects around the breakdown and ball presentation and whether we look after our own ball or go after the opposition ball.Theyve also evolved their defensive system and have targeted an increased physicality in the contact area. And then there has been the work on the mental side of things where they brought in eexperienced Olympians and outside help to fine-tune their mind set.ddddddddddddWeve undertaken some training with some field hockey Olympians at the academy in Florida so we are more self-aware now, Friday said. Weve also worked with some of the Navy Seal boys on whats important and whats not and how to filter out the distractions.It all starts on Tuesday for Fridays team with Argentina up in their first pool match and he is hoping for an all-court showing; whether its the pace of Carlin Isles, the guile of Madison Hughes or the physicality of Nate Ebner there is a hope that mixed together, they will form the perfect cocktail.Probably our point of difference is we have that balance of physicality, power and out and out pace, Friday said. Were not one or the other. Were not the physicality that New Zealand are, were not the offloading, athletic ability the Fijians are who play with their natural swagger, were not the defensive power South Africa are or have the guile of that Team GB have but instead we have a balance of physicality, power and pace. So our point of difference is the balance we have.A medal of any kind would be a good return for Team USA and would certainly aid the growth and exposure of rugby in the U.S.The 15s is undoubtedly on an upwards curve given the new professional league, the super powers travelling to play on their shores and the ever increasing migration of the Eagles top players joining Europes best sides. And then there are the sevens teams where although the women failed to reach the semifinals they will only improve and the men are fancying their chances of ending up on the podium come Thursday.Hopefully the Games will position rugby to be recognised as the prefect team sport to complement the established super team sports in the U.S so that the athletes who dont make it will have an alternative sporting route to fulfil their sporting ambitions, Friday said. If we can get awareness and buy-in that this sport is played across the country and at high school and college to complement any success then we will awake the sleeping giant! ' ' '
