CALGARY - When Johnny Gaudreau scores a goal on home ice, the Calgary Flames play Chuck Berrys song Johnny B. [url=http://www.nbahawksproshop.com/customized/]Custom Hawks Jersey[/url] . Goode.That song was heard twice Saturday night as the exciting Calgary rookie continued his strong play in recent weeks in which good would be an understatement.Making it six goals in the last three games, Gaudreau scored his 11th and 12th goals to lead the Flames to a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, extending the Oilers latest winless streak to nine games.Im pretty excited about getting the chance to score some goals, said Gaudreau, who won the Hobey Baker Award last year with Boston College. They werent coming throughout the first 20, 30 games of the season. I was kind off to a slow start but its nice to see the puck going in the net.Saturdays two goals comes on the heels of Gaudreaus hat trick in Tuesdays 4-3 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Kings.I think that might have been the quickest Ive ever scored two goals, said Gaudreau, who is second in rookie scoring with 29 points, five behind the leader, Nashvilles Filip Forsberg. Our line is playing really well and the team is playing pretty well right now, too, so we have to keep it up.According to Elias, Gaudreau is the first Flames rookie since Joe Nieuwendyk in March 1988 to record consecutive multi-goal games.Hes so quick. Hes pouncing on those loose pucks with lots of speed. Hes capable of scoring any way, said Flames coach Bob Hartley. His chemistry with Jiri Hudler is phenomenal. Whether we play them with (Markus) Granlund or (Josh) Jooris, it seems they always find a way to get on the scoreboard for us, and thats so important.Gaudreaus goals came 16 seconds apart early in the first period as the Flames blew the game open with three goals in less than two minutes.Up 1-0 on Joe Colbornes first of the year at 7:08, Gaudreau made it 2-0 at 8:32 capitalizing on an Oilers turnover.When Mark Arcobellos pass through his own slot was mishandled by David Perron, Gaudreau pounced on the loose puck and quickly broke in alone on Edmonton goalie Viktor Fasth, beating him with a nifty move to his backhand.Gaudreaus second goal of the night, also on a breakaway, came on a perfect feed from TJ Brodie, who wired him a pass from behind the Flames net that hit on the tape at the Oilers blue-line.(Brodie) sees the ice so well. When you see him back there behind the net its hard not to go flying up the ice because he definitely sees you, Gaudreau said.In alone on Fasth yet again, this time Gaudreau had the puck bobble off his stick but still trickle through the pads of Fasth.Ive got to stop at least one of those to keep us in the game but I didnt, said Fasth, who was immediately pulled after that goal by coach Todd Nelson and replaced with Ben Scrivens.Curtis Glencross also scored for Calgary (19-15-3), which has won consecutive games after ending an eight-game winless skid. The Flames are ninth in the Western Conference, two points back of Los Angeles for the second wild-card spot.Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had the lone goal for the Oilers (7-22-7), who are winless in their last nine (0-7-2).In this league, its so hard to come back from even just one or two goals so to spot them three is unfortunate, said Nugent-Hopkins. Especially on the road, the home team is buzzing, the crowd is going, it made it really tough for us to come back even though we tried pretty hard.Dating back to November 11, Edmonton has won just once in its last 21 games (1-14-6). Since taking over coaching duties when Dallas Eakins was fired, Nelson is 0-3-2.I thought our start wasnt bad at all, and that stretch where we basically gave them three goals and didnt make them earn it. They capitalized, which is a credit to them, but we cant shoot ourselves in the foot like that, Nelson said.The second period we started to get something going, start of the third I thought we came out strong, had some good offensive zone possession, we were creating some things. Then we took a couple penalties and it killed everything we were building upon.On the opening goal, Paul Byrons centring pass caromed off a skate and on goal. Fasth sprawled to get his pad on it but Colborne tucked in the rebound.To finally see it go across the line. Ive had more than enough chances and seen goalies stop it or see it just sitting on the line. To see that one slide past was real nice, said Colborne, who scored for the first time in 27 games.Edmonton was the better team in the second period but couldnt cut into the deficit until Nugent-Hopkins scored on a deflection 4:23 into the third period.Theyre the Oilers and we hate them so anytime you can take two points from them, its nice, said Colborne.Fasth ended up with three saves to fall to 2-9-2. Scrivens stopped 20 of 21 in relief.Jonas Hiller had 26 stops to improve to 11-10-2. It was the first time in 16 starts that he has surrendered fewer than two goals.Notes — The Flames record for two fastest goals by the same player is held by Lanny McDonald, who scored six seconds apart on March 22, 1984... Calgary scored three first-period goals for the first time since March 12... With rookies Gaudreau and Josh Jooris both having hat tricks in December, its the first time since Bostons Steve Heinze and Joe Juneau in January 1993 that two rookies teammates have recorded a hat trick in the same month.

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.

The 20-year-old Inoue landed a series of combinations and the bout was stopped 2 minutes, 54 seconds into the sixth round. Inoue, the first Japanese boxer to claim a world title in just his sixth professional fight, improved to 6-0 with five knockouts.The NBA Finals will resume tonight in a presumably much more comfortable AT&T Center when the San Antonio Spurs welcome the Miami Heat. You can watch the game live on TSN and TSN GO or listen to the action on TSN Radio 1050 at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Spurs grabbed a 1-0 series lead Thursday night in the sweltering heat of a late spring San Antonio night. Of course, it didnt help that the AT&T Centers air conditioner malfunctioned and didnt work through the course of the game. As temperatures soared into the mid-90s, the Spurs emerged with a 110-95 victory, but the busted AC unit played a major role. LeBron James was forced to leave the game midway through the fourth quarter due to cramping. James has faced cramping issues in the past and the four-time MVP was unable to move Thursday following a layup to get the game within two. "My body just shut down, basically my body said, okay, enough jumping for you for the night. Youve had enough," James said after practice on Friday. "Nothing I could do about it." That didnt stop social media from exploding, questioning James toughness. "I really dont care what people say about me," noted James. The two-time Finals MVP, the Heat, the Spurs and frankly anyone in attendance Sunday night should feel relieved. The AT&T Center staff fixed the problem and it should be very comfortable for Game 2. "It will be fine. Weve been assured of that," said Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. The extreme conditions played a role in Game 1, but were the same for both squads. When James had to be carried back to the bench, the Spurs finished the game on a 31-9 run witth six minutes to go. [url=http://www.nbahawksproshop.com/womens-paul-millsap-basketball-jersey/]Paul Millsap Hawks Jersey[/url]. Danny Green, who set an NBA Finals record with 27 made 3-pointers last year, caught fire late in Game 1. He drained three long balls during the decisive run and finished with 13 points. Tim Duncan contributed 21 points and 10 rebounds, Tony Parker poured in 19 points and handed out eight assists, and Manu Ginobili totaled 16 points and 11 assists for the Spurs, who shot a scorching 14-of-16 from the floor in the fourth, including a perfect 6-of-6 mark from long distance. Tiago Splitter added 14 points and Boris Diaw pulled down 10 rebounds. The Spurs shot 59 percent for the game and 52 percent from long range. "Were not as good as we used to be defensively. So if thats going to diminish, you need to do something at the other end of the floor to make up for it," explained coach Gregg Popovich. "We changed our pace, and the way we approach things at the other end of the floor to make up for what were going to lose defensively. Thats the bottom line." James paced the Heat with 25 points and six assists, while Wade and Bosh supplied 19 and 18 points, respectively, in the setback. "We have to finish the game better, no matter who is on the floor," Wade said, referring to the absence of James. Ray Allen provided a spark off the bench with 16 points, while another veteran, Rashard Lewis, scored 10. The Heat have won 12 straight following a loss in the postseason and theres no reason to panic. Miami lost the first game in each of the last two Finals and went on to win the series. The series shifts to South Beach for Game 3 Tuesday night.
