NEW YORK – The aftertaste of two stinging overtime losses in L. [url=http://www.patriotsfootballfansonline.com/Black-Deatrich-Wise-Jr-Patriots-Jersey.html?cat=950]Deatrich Wise Jr. Youth Jersey[/url] .A. remained bitter for Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers on the long flight back home to New York. "I personally use it as motivation," Lundqvist said on Monday morning, his team trailing the Kings by a dire 2-0 deficit heading into Game 3 at MSG. "You get upset and frustrated and disappointed when you lose. But you just have to respond the right way." The right response would be victory on home ice and some hope for a crowd that hasnt witnessed a Stanley Cup Final game in 20 years. Heavy underdogs coming into their first Final since 1994, the Rangers have, at the very least, demonstrated their ability to crash, bang and skate with the Kings. A bounce or two in their favour in Games 1 and 2 – not to mention a different ruling on a controversial third Kings goal – and this series could look quite different as the series shifts back East, but as it stands, they find themselves at the very edge of a near-inescapable hole. "We have to start winning and thats tonight," said Lundqvist, who has allowed eight goals on 87 shots in the Final. "I hope its going to be an exciting feeling to step out on the ice here; home crowd, great atmosphere; take advantage of that; enjoy the moment but at the same time, really push ourselves here to try to play our best game so far." New York has done its fair share of good in the Final so far despite the gaping series deficit. Packed with plenty of speed and punch, they raced out to 2-0 leads in both Games 1 and 2 only to come undone at the mercy of the resilient Kings en route to a pair of heartbreaking overtime losses – the latter in double overtime. Theyve done enough, however, to believe that this series is far from over. "Chance-wise, were right there with them," said head coach Alain Vigneault, ever optimistic hours before Game 3. "Weve played some good hockey. We got a little bit unfortunate in that last third period, but were right there and we feel real good about our game. "Things always even themselves out with the right effort and the right attitude. You say if you work hard, luck will come with you, well were working hard; were working our butts off here. Im very confident that were going to have that same type of effort here tonight and were going to be real good." History is not on their side. All but five of the 48 teams whove earned a 2-0 series lead in the Final (since 1939) have gone on to capture the Cup. Among those five, interestingly enough, were the Vigneault-led Canucks in 2011, Vancouver falling in seven games to Boston despite the commanding early series lead. The Kings are proof themselves that momentum can change quickly. They rallied furiously from a 3-0 series ditch in the opening round against San Jose, adding two more Game 7 victories along the way. "I think the key is to realize that were close and you dont have to change that much," said Lundqvist. "The difference has been a bounce here or a deflection. Were doing a lot of good things, but it hasnt been enough so we need to raise [our level] a little bit. But its important that you dont try too hard and try too many different things. We need to stick together here and do it together. We had stretches in both games where I think we played really well and created a lot of chances, enough chances to win the game."

Those traits were clear to the 24,071 at Olympic Stadium on Saturday as the Impact dominated the scoring chances but settled for a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls in a battle of still-winless Major League Soccer teams.

Johnson knocked down 6-of-7 attempts from beyond the arc in a 20-point performance, while Graham went 4-of-6 en route to 19 points to help the Rams avenge their loss to the Hawks in last years A-10 Championship Game. As a team VCU (13-3, 3-0 A-10) made good on 12-of-23 3-pointers to extend its current win streak to eight games. DeAndre Bembry finished with 16 points and eight rebounds for Saint Josephs (6-8, 0-3). Aaron Brown added 14 points and Isaiah Miles had 12 in the loss, the Hawks fourth straight. I believe the game is always numerical. And here is the number: We had 20 turnovers, said Hawks head coach Phil Martelli. They (VCU) were better. They were better in preparation. They were better in all five spots. VCU was on the mark from the perimeter right from the outset, burying three consecutive treys as part of an 11-2 game-opening run. A 3-pointer from Johnson near the midway stage of the first half extended the lead to 20-10, though Saint Josephs countered with an 11-2 spurt sparked by Miles and Chris Wilson. The Rams then ripped off the next 10 points, with Doug Brooks triple and TTerry Larriers 3-point play igniting the surge, to claim a 32-21 advantage with five minutes left in the half.

Graham and Johnson closed out the period with two more threes in the final minute to put VCU up 46-30 at the break, capping a first half in which the Rams hit on 8-of-14 tries from long distance. VCU continued to pad its margin after the intermission on the strength of its outside shooting, as back-to-back 3-pointers from Johnson increased the lead to 57-33 early in the second half. If hes knocking down shots, (our opponents) have to pick their poison, said Graham of Johnson. The Rams were ahead by as many as 27 points and were up 80-56 with seven minutes left before Bembry made two threes to lead the Hawks on a 10-0 run. Game Notes The win was the 150th for VCU head coach Shaka Smart, making him only one of six Division I coaches to reach the milestone in their first six seasons ... Rams guard Briante Weber recorded five steals to move into sole possession of fourth place in DI history in that category (358) ... The Rams have trailed for a total of only 36 seconds during their eight-game streak ... Saint Josephs 0-3 start in A-10 play is the programs worst since it dropped the first eight games of the 2010-11 season.
