WINNIPEG -- Bobby Ryan didnt look out of place on Ottawas top line, but he knows chemistry takes time. Replica Shoes Wholesale . Ryan scored the winner Sunday as the Senators downed the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 in NHL pre-season action, while newly minted captain Jason Spezza had an assist and left-winger Milan Michalek scored and added an assist. "I think there was a few opportunities for us to do things differently, and thats just something that you learn about each other," said Ryan, who was acquired in an off-season trade with the Anaheim Ducks. "I know that there were a couple passes that Spezz meant for me that I thought were for Milan and they just kind of were a foot or two away and thats a matter of me trying to read off him a little better." Buddy Robinson scored Ottawas first goal at 7:58 of the opening period and Ryan added his 26 seconds into the second to give Ottawa a 2-0 lead. Sens defenceman Erik Karlsson had a pair of assists and Matt Halischuk scored Winnipegs lone goal. Karlsson liked what he saw of the Ryan-Spezza-Michalek line. "Its the first game, you know everybodys trying to feel it out a bit," Karlsson said. "Overall, I think they looked pretty good." Karlssons shot from the point 65 seconds into the third period was redirected by Michalek past goalie Michael Hutchinson to make it 3-1. Hutchinson made 29 saves. Robin Lehner was in goal for the Sens for the first two periods and stopped 17-of-18 shots. He was replaced by Andrew Hammond to start the third. Hammond stopped all 10 shots he faced. Winnipeg lost its first exhibition game Saturday night in a 4-3 shootout against Washington in Belleville, Ont. The Jets experimented to start the game and didnt ice their usual top-line trio of Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler. Little and Wheeler skated with newcomer Michael Frolik, acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks for third- and fifth-round picks in this years draft. Ladd, however, rejoined his linemates late in the opening period. "We started with Frolik and didnt really get much going," Little said. "And even when Laddie came and played with us, we kind of struggled a bit still. "Were still trying to work out the kinks. We havent played a game in five months or so, so were just trying to shake the rust off." The Jets were sitting a number of their players who had suited up in Belleville, including forwards Evander Kane, Devin Setoguchi and Mark Scheifele. Replica Shoes Wholesale China .

City has reached new heights under manager Manuel Pellegrini as they transition from big spending/immediate impact to perennial contender. Yaya Toures seeming discontent Tuesday may complicate that, as does the little issue of Financial Fair Play.What is it about the Whitecaps and spectacular goals to salvage games that end 2-2? Saturdays stunning howitzer from Uruguayan marksman Sebastien Fernandez will go down as one of the great finishes in the Caps short MLS era. A monstrous tackle from Steven Beitashour kept the game alive, when it seemed referee Kevin Stott was ready to blow for time. And like a basketball player whose internal shot clock was down to 0.5, Fernandez took a quick look up before unleashing a 35-yard rocket that even Nick Rimando couldnt stop. The scenes at Rio Tinto stadium were as contrasting as youll ever see in a regular season game; the Whitecaps and their staff leaping and hollering like 12-year-old kids whove won an imaginary World Cup, while a devastated Real Salt Lake team lay strewn about the pitch in disbelief. Its not the first time a stunning strike has rescued a point for the Whitecaps in a 2-2 game. They did it a week ago against LA, when it was Kekuta Manneh who bombed home a cracking equalizer in the 86th minute. Late last year, in a wild affair with Portland, Camilo Sanvezzo sideways scissored a goal of the year winner, only sseconds after the Whitecaps had fallen behind. Wholesale Shoes From China. And in June of 2011, Eric Hassli should have earned goal of the year honours for his late, sensational volley that dropped into the top corner past Kasey Keller, only moments after the Whitecaps had fallen behind in Seattle. Four point-earning goals with aesthetic beauty, individual brilliance, against Western rvals, all while the Whitecaps were trailing. But there was something extra special about the rally at Real. It was executed by kids. The midfield and forward six combined to average 22.6 years of age. The RSL team that tried to hang on averaged 29.45 years, among them captain Kyle Beckerman, who sarcastically sneered a good luck making the playoffs in Darren Mattocks direction. As Carl Robinson continues to shape his squad and older players move on, you just wonder how the young Whitecaps will look when they learn how to start games the same way theyve been finishing them. In the meantime, another 2-2 scoreline, which seemed improbable until the 86th minute will be savoured by a Whitecap fan base that has already been spoiled by late-game dramatics. ' ' '
