The Detroit Red Wings evened their series with the Chicago Blackhawks and the San Jose Sharks got back into their series with an OT win over the Los Angeles Kings. Scott Cullen has stas and notes from Saturday nights NHL playoff action. WINGS EVEN UP WITH BLACKHAWKSThe Detroit Red Wings stormed back in Game Two of their series with the Chicago Blackhawks, winning 4-1, to earn a split of the first two games in Chicago. Detroit outshot Chicago 30-20, which was a rare occurrence this year. Chicago was held to 20 or fewer shots once all season (19 shots on goal in a 3-2 shtout win at Calgary, February 2) and was outshot by 10 on home ice, once this year (25-36 vs. Los Angeles, March 25). Any loss at home for this Blackhawks team stands out as rare, as they had three regulation losses at home all season. Red Wings LW Henrik Zetterberg was the initiator for the Detroit attack, assisting on Detroits second and fourth goals and tying for the team lead with four shots on goal. Red Wings RW Justin Abdelkader also had four shots on goal, had a team-high five hits and had the best possession numbers for Detroit in Game Two. (Strangely enough, Zetterbergs possession numbers were worst for the Wings.) The line of Abdelakader, Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen controlled play despite facing the defence tandem of Duncan Keith and Niklas Hjalmarsson. At no point should the Blackhawks have expected that this series was going to be easy and, after losing decisively on home ice, that seems assured. A couple of additional Blackhawks centre notes: C Jonathan Toews was held off the scoresheet again and he has no goals and three assists in seven playoff games and C Dave Bolland, in his second game of the postseason, was minus-2 with six penalty minutes, giving him 10 penalty minutes in two games. SHARKS GET ON THE BOARD WITH OT WINSharks C Logan Couture, who missed time earlier in the game with an apparent ankle injury, scored on the power play in overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 2-1 Game Three win over the Los Angeles Kings, cutting the Kings series lead to 2-1. L.A. rkie RW Tylor Toffoli scored the Kings only goal, the second straight game in which hes recorded a point and the second straight game in which hes played more than 12 minutes. Given how effective Toffoli has been, he could handle more responsibility. LW Tanner Pearson made his NHL debut for the Kings, playing a modest 5:44. Pearson had 47 points and a plus-17 rating in 64 games for Manchester of the AHL this season. Sharks C Joe Thornton had one of the assists on the game-winning goal but, along with linemates Brent Burns and T.J. Galiardi, had an outstanding game when it came to puck possession, primarily getting the best of Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Dwight King for Los Angeles. San Jose got RW Martin Havlat back from injury, after he missed the previous five games, only to lose him again after he played 4:52. It was gd while it lasted. Neither team is likely t enamoured with the officiating in this series, from the Sharks outlining their disagreement Raffi Torres suspension, to the Sharks getting burned for two late power play goals in Game Two, to the Sharks getting a 5-on-3 to start overtime in Game Three, scoring shortly after the first penalty had expired. In the end, it wont much matter what the teams feel about the officiating. The Kings are leaning heavily on G Jonathan Quick and hes been great, stopping 101 of 106 shots (.953 SV%) through three games, but after San Jose outshot Los Angeles 40-27, giving the Sharks an average 9.0 shot advantage through the first three games, the Kings have to take more territorial control if they are going to close out the Sharks. Either that, or keep letting Quick stand on his head. Scott Cullen can be reached at Scott.Cullen@bellmedia.ca and followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tsnscottcullen.

Replica Shoes Online . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

MIAMI -- Chicago White Sox right-hander James Shields nine-year streak of double-figure wins is in serious jeopardy.Sheilds, who starts Saturday night against Miami Marlins left-hander Adam Conley, is 5-14 with a 5.43 ERA this season.Perhaps Shields, who turns 35 in December, has gotten old all of a sudden, and his days as an ace are over. Perhaps that is the answer, but its still a bit odd because Shields has been so consistent for so long ... only to unravel this year.Shields, who started the season with the San Diego Padres, was acquired by the White Sox on June 4. Thats when things went from bad to worse -- in 12 starts with the White Sox, he has a 6.68 ERA.Things have been really bad for Shields in his two previous starts as he has allowed 14 runs on 15 hits in a combined total of 6 1/3 innings. He got just four outs in his most recent start, against the Baltimore Orioles, allowing eight runs.I was pretty much bad all-around, Shields told the media after his most recent loss. I wasnt in my spots, and they were capitalizing.So what happened to Shields?The short answer is that Shields is giving up t many walks and t many homers.Shields has always been a fly-ball pitcher. For example, he gave up the most homers in the league, 34, in 2010, but still managed to win 13 games that year for the Tampa Bay Rays.Last year, he again led the league by allowing 33 homers, this time for the Padres. But again, he won 13 games.In fact, entering this season, Shields had an impressive 127-97 career record.But Shields, who prides himself on a deluxe changeup that he can throw on any count and a fastball that ranges between 89 and 94 mph with movement, has allowed an alarming 2.2 homers per nine innings since his trade to Chicago. His career average is 1.1.Shields control has also been an issue. His walks have gone from a career mark of 2.4 per nine innings to 4.2 this season.Whatever it iis that is ailing Shields, the White Sox hope he can be fixed because he is under contract through the end of the 2018 season on a four-year, $75 million deal.ddddddddddddThe Marlins, meanwhile, dont have nearly as much invested in Conley, a rkie who is 8.6 with a 3.70 ERA. Conley was Miamis second-best starting pitcher in the first half of the season, trailing only All-Star Jose Fernandez.But Conley is averaging just 5 1/3 innings per start in the second half of this season and has eclipsed the 100-pitch mark just once. His 4.00 ERA and 5.6 walks per nine innings are also signs of decline from his first-half numbers.His ERA was 3.65 in the first half of the season when he won six games.The Marlins, who dropped to 60-55 after Fridays 4-2 loss to the White Sox (55-60), are fortunate to be a half-game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the battle for the second and final NL wild-card playoff berth.At least, that is the view of Marlins manager Don Mattingly.Somebody is going to get hot, Mattingly said of the teams that are chasing that wild-card spot. Somebody is going to win 10 of 12 or 11 of 14 and put you in harms way. So we are going to have to get going.It may happen in time for Saturdays game or it could happen later or not at all, but the Marlins are reportedly considering signing Alex Rodriguez, who is due to be released by the New York Yankees after playing his final game for the club Friday.The Marlins would use Rodriguez at first base as a replacement for injured Justin Bour, who wont return until September at the earliest, according to Miami manager Don Mattingly.Rodriguez, 41, hasnt played in the field much, and he may not have much left. But he would spark interest in the team at the very least, and he may be able to supply some power. ' ' '
