It’s about us not getting the job done

NASHVILLE Womens Niklas Hjalmarsson Jersey , Tenn. (AP) For a guy who was drafted 258th overall in 2004, Pekka Rinne has put together quite a career.Rinne made 33 saves in his 300th NHL win and the Nashville Predators routed the San Jose Sharks 7-1 on Thursday night.After being selected the game’s first star, Rinne was overcome with emotion as Nashville fans saluted him on the bench.”I didn’t want to cry, to be honest with you,” Rinne said. ”In those moments, you take a look back. You know your parents are watching the game. It’s pretty cool.”Nick Bonino, Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson each had a goal and an assist, and Scott Hartnell, Kevin Fiala and Mattias Ekholm also scored for Nashville, which has won three straight. The Predators moved within one point of expansion Vegas for the Western Conference lead.Nashville defensemen Roman Josi and P.K. Subban each had two assists.All of Rinne’s wins have come with Nashville. He tied former Predators goalie Tomas Vokoun for 33rd place in NHL history.”His whole career, he’s just been fantastic. Not only tonight, not only this year, but his whole career he’s just been incredible for this organization the way he’s backstopped it for so many years with so much consistency,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. ”What you see on the ice is incredible. The person that he is is even better than that, so we’re fortunate to have a guy like that here.”Logan Couture had the San Jose goal. The loss snapped the Sharks’ three-game winning streak.”It didn’t feel like a 7-1 game http://www.officialoilers.com/authentic-adidas-connor-mcdavid-jersey ,” coach Peter DeBoer said. ”Obviously, we own it, that’s what it ended up being. 3-1 going into the third, we’re on the power play, I thought we were playing a pretty decent road game.”Bonino scored the game’s first goal at 1:55 of the opening period.Josi’s shot from the left point hit traffic in front and Bonino beat Sharks defenseman Dylan DeMelo to the puck near the left post. Bonino took it around the net and beat goalie Aaron Dell to the right post with a wraparound for his ninth of the season.Hartnell made it 2-0 with 42.5 seconds remaining in the first.From the right boards, Bonino made a no-look backhand pass to Hartnell, who was skating through the slot and tipped it by Dell.Dell finished with 39 saves.Couture shaved the Nashville lead in half at 8:39 of the second.After skating the puck below the goal line on the right side, Couture lifted a seemingly harmless backhand toward the Nashville net and the puck somehow squeezed between Rinne and the near post for Couture’s team-leading 25th of the season.Nashville regained a two-goal lead at 15:57.Fiala carried the puck into the San Jose zone on the right side on a 2-on-1 with Craig Smith against DeMelo. Fiala attempted a forehand-to-backhand move, but lost control. The puck’s momentum carried it forward and it slipped between Dell’s pads.”Obviously these games, they feel awful. They’re not fun to be a part of,” San Jose defenseman Brent Burns said. ”It was like one of those just nightmare nights that’s no fun to play.”Arvidsson scored a power-play goal at 3:49 of the third, his fourth goal in three games. Johansen scored 2:40 later from the slot. Ekholm made it 6-1 at 11:00 of the third and Jarnkrok concluded the scoring at 17:51.Rinne’s teammates were thrilled to see him reach 300 wins.”Ever since I got here, he’s been the backbone of this team and he does it night-in and night-out,” Ekholm said. ”It’s a huge accomplishment and big congrats to him.”NOTES: Smith had one assist, extending his point streak to six games. … Arvidsson played in his 200th NHL game. … San Jose went 0 for 5 on the power play. The Sharks have not scored with the man advantage in their last seven games. … The Sharks are 4-5-2 against Central Division teams this season.UP NEXTSharks: Visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.Predators: Host the St. Louis Blues on Sunday.— EL SEGUNDO Milan Lucic Jersey Kids , Calif. (AP) — Willie Desjardins realizes the Los Angeles Kings have more than enough time to turn around their dismal start to the season.The interim head coach still wants his Kings to play as if their season and their jobs are on the line in early November.Desjardins ran an energetic practice Monday to begin his tenure with the Kings, who fired John Stevens and assistant coach Don Nachbaur on Sunday in a shakeup of the struggling club. Desjardins didn’t promise any magic solutions to the Kings’ woes, but he plans to impress urgency upon his new players.“I think the theme we had was that we can’t wait,” Desjardins said. “You only have so many years that you have a chance to win, and you’ve got to win now. The easy road would be to say that we can’t do it this season. You can’t afford to waste a season, because you never know what’s going to happen. It’s the same with me. I didn’t know if I would get another shot at the NHL, so this is my chance. I’ve got to make it work, and that’s the same message to the players.“You’ve got to find a way to make this season work. What exactly it is, we’ve got to find out.”Desjardins didn’t land his first NHL head coaching job until he was 57 years old, leading the Vancouver Canucks from 2014-17. After taking the young Canadian national team to Olympic bronze medals last February, he returned home to Medicine Hat, Alberta, and started a hockey school.General manager Rob Blake abruptly called him last week with the chance to take over the struggling Kings, who haven’t returned to the heights they reached during their Stanley Cup championship seasons in 2012 and 2014. Los Angeles still has a wealth of top-end NHL players, including defenseman Drew Doughty Oscar Klefbom Jersey , captain Anze Kopitar, forward Jeff Carter and goalie Jonathan Quick, who is injured.After the Canucks fired him, Desjardins didn’t want to return to the NHL as an assistant coach. He was thrilled to get another chance to be a head coach with a team possessing as much talent as the Kings — even if his current contract only lasts until the end of this season.“Coming in here, it’s a great situation,” Desjardins said. “I think there’s lots to work with. Sometimes you have situations where you don’t have much of a chance to be successful. They’ve got a lot of good pieces here. There’s some really quality people within this team, some high-end guys.”The Kings are in a funk at 4-8-1 heading into their Freeway Faceoff showdown with the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night. Desjardins said he can’t immediately shake up the Kings’ playing style, so he will lean on assistant coach Dave Lowry as he attempts to get better results from the same players and largely the same schemes used under Stevens for now.“It’s hard, because one of the big things you need from players and coaches, you’ve got to have some trust,” Desjardins said. “And trust is gained over time, but we don’t have time for that. You’ve got to trust each other right now. That’s harder to do, but we’ve got to do it.”Blake sharply criticized his players’ competitiveness and determination while firing Stevens. The veteran Kings didn’t disagree with their boss after their first workout under Desjardins.“It’s rather apparent that you can’t be successful in this league, or in life in general, if you don’t have the emotion and the passion http://www.officialoilers.com/authentic-adidas-ryan-nugent-hopkins-jersey ,” Kings defenseman Alec Martinez said. “That’s what we’ve learned this week.”Carter was particularly dismayed by the players’ role in the departure of Stevens, who also was his coach in Philadelphia before Stevens was fired during the 2008-09 season.“I think the world of him,” Carter said of Stevens. “A lot of guys in here do. I guess that needs to be a big wakeup call for everybody in this room that we need to get our act together. We haven’t played good enough hockey, that’s the bottom line. It’s compete. It’s energy. It’s everybody doing their job.”Desjardins doesn’t expect to fix everything quickly, but he has the winter to work on it. His family is staying in Alberta for now, so Desjardins plans to devote pretty much every waking hour to his work — and there is plenty to work on.The Kings are the NHL’s lowest-scoring team with 28 goals in their 13 games, with meager shot creation and an inconsistent power play. They’re also not playing up their traditional defensive standards, allowing 45 goals after finishing last season as the NHL’s stingiest team.“It means we’re not getting the job done, and that’s the disappointing part,” Los Angeles defenseman Dion Phaneuf said. “Ultimately it’s on us as players. When a change is made, it’s not about the coaching staff. It’s about us not getting the job done.”
