7) Who is the NHL scoring leader? (No, its not Sidney Crosby. Its Jakub Voracek of the Philadelphia Flyers. Philly has never had an NHL scoring champion.)8) Speaking of the Flyers, their fans welcomed back Scott Hartnell with signs and loud applause when he returned last week as a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Why did the Flyers trade Hartnell, anyway? (Dont know.)9) If hes the NHL Star of the Week, we should be very familiar with him, no matter who he is, right? Okay, Jori Lehtera. (To say the St. Louis Blues have waited for him is to say they could have forgotten about him. Hes a 26-year-old from Helsinki, Finland who was drafted in 2008 and has been in the KHL for the past four years. His stats say he has never scored 20 goals in a season since he was 15. Hes on a pace for about 35 in his first NHL season.)10) Are there two Adam Silvers? (Well, more than two, obviously, but I looked it up because I couldnt believe that NBA commissioner Adam Silver was the one who came out in favour of legalized betting on pro sports. Amazingly, Twitter found me an Adam Silver who says he loves to bet on sports. He lives in Melbourne. Not sure if thats Australia or Florida, but Id bet on Florida.)11) I know nobody pays attention to batting average anymore, but shouldnt the guy with the richest contract in baseball history (Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins, $325 million) have had at least one .300 season? (Well, shouldnt he?)12) At the end of the CFLs regular season, did Toronto Argos owner David Braley prefer to be known as the owner of the British Columbia Lions, and at the end of the CFL East semi-final in Montreal, did Braley prefer to be known as the owner of the Argos? (Yes and yes...youd think.)13) Should a goalie win the Hart Trophy? (Not unless his name is Dominik Hasek, or his game is as great as Haseks was in 1997 and 1998 for the Buffalo Sabres.)14) Can you do more for the team/franchise that picked you number one overall in the NHL draft than Mike Modano did for Minnesota/Dallas? (No. Modano holds franchise records for seasons and games played, goals, assists and points scored and he won the Stanley Cup. The only other number-one draft pick to do that was Mario Lemieux.)15) Once you learned that Pat Burns used to be a cop, didnt you want to find other hockey coaches who used to be cops? (His former profession always served coach Burns well, I thought.)16) Is it true that hockey referees are doing a good job if, when the game ends, you cant remember who they were? (Sure, I get it, but its easy to remember Bill McCreary for all the good games he called.)17) Whats the best game of this NHL season? (Ask me following Tuesdays Pittsburgh at Montreal game.)18) How do you play 10 NFL games without allowing a rushing touchdown? (Ask the Kansas City Chiefs.)19) After beating Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck the past two weeks, what more must Tom Brady do to sew up NFL MVP honours? (Beat Aaron Rodgers on November 30, I guess.)20) If Connor McDavid shouldnt fight, how many other hockey players shouldnt fight? And how do you decide who they are? (Dont know.) Nathan Eovaldi Red Sox Jersey . The Spanish champions decision not to sign a defender during the January transfer window may have backfired after Valencia took advantage of a lethargic, uninspired effort by its hosts at the Camp Nou, where former Spain coach Luis Aragones -- who previously coached the Catalan side -- was honoured after his death on Saturday. Brock Holt Red Sox Jersey . -- J.R. Sweezy was the one part of the Seattle Seahawks offensive line that had avoided injuries or having to change positions this season. https://www.cheapredsox.com/. - The Oakland Athletics have finalized an agreement on a 10-year extension to play at the Coliseum through the 2024 season. Andrew Benintendi Red Sox Jersey . And Richard Bachman, their rookie goalie, is facing a penalty shot a few seconds after the opening face-off. No pressure, right? Bachman stood his ground against Zack Kassian and saw the puck dribble off the Canuck rookies stick, then settled in and backstopped the Stars to a 5-2 win over Vancouver Tuesday that put Dallas in first place in the Pacific Division. Sam Travis Red Sox Jersey . Louis Blues and back into top spot of the TSN.ca NHL Power Rankings. The Sharks had been ranked No.Paris, France (SportsNetwork.com) - Maria Sharapova is now the overwhelming favorite at the French Open and played that way Friday after Agnieszka Radwanska became the latest womens high seed to fall at Roland Garros. The third-seeded Radwanska followed in the footsteps of Serena Williams and Li Na, exiting with a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Croatias Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round. Li, the second seed and 2011 French Open champ, was knocked off in the first round and Williams, the No. 1 seed and two-time winner at Roland Garros, fell in the second round. Radwanskas ouster leaves fourth-seeded Simona Halep as the highest-seeded player remaining in the womens draw, but Sharapova is now the clear-cut choice to claim her second French Open championship. Sharapova, the 2012 winner and last years runner-up to Williams, needed a mere 51 minutes to dispose of Argentinas Paula Ormaechea in a 6-0, 6-0 rout. She has dropped just 10 games in her first three matches and on Friday was simply dominating. Ormaechea won only 17 of the 71 points played and four of those came on double faults from Sharapova. The seventh-seeded Russian blasted 23 winners to Ormaecheas one and won all 14 points on the Argentines second serve. Despite the front-runner status, a tough fourth-round match against former U.S. Open champ Samantha Stosur awaits Sharapova. "My next opponent is Samantha Stosur, whos had a lot of success on these courts and loves playing on clay so thats my next challenge and I look forward to it," said Sharapova. Stosur, the 2010 French Open runner-up, knocked off ninth-seeded Dominika Cibulkova, 6-4, 6-4. "Im really happy with the way I played today and I think its the first time I won three matches in a row for a while, too," said the 19th-seeded Stosur, who last reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam at the 2012 U.S. Open. "I just love playing here. Ive had some really great moments here and some of the best matches of my career actually. Hopefully I can still have a few more matches like this." Stosur, who lost to Francesca Schiavone in the 2010 French final, continued her mastery of Cibulkova, beating the 2014 Australian Open runner-up for the fifth time in as many tries without dropping a set. She also beat the Slovakian two years ago in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and earlier this month in the first round at the Madrid Open. The Aussies stay in Madrid ended with a third-round loss to Sharapova. Stosur is 2-13 lifetime against the Russian, inncluding 0-3 on clay.dddddddddddd "I have beaten her before. I know what it takes," added Stosur about the next matchup with Sharapova. "I know I have to play very well against her. I know there are certain things I have to do well and if I dont, then it makes life very, very tough that day. I will go out there and certainly give it my best shot." Cibulkova had her best Grand Slam finish earlier this year with a loss to Li in the final of the Australian Open. Her best result at the French Open was a semifinal loss to Dinara Safina in 2009, but its been a rough spring for the four-time WTA winner as she also dropped a first-round match in Rome after her first-round exit against Stosur in Madrid. Tomljanovic, meanwhile, is playing at Roland Garros for the first time and has now beaten three established veterans. Ranked 72nd in the world, she took out Schiavone in the first round and also knocked off Russian veteran Elena Vesnina in the second. "After seeing the two first seeds go out, (I) feel like I can do this, too," said Tomljanovic. "I grew up with these girls that are beating (the top seeds). Obviously, you respect everyone, but you dont fear anyone. This year Ive been in a few situations where I was up and didnt execute, so I wanted to make it right this time." Next up for Tomljanovic will be Spains Carla Suarez Navarro. The 14th seed eased past American teenager Taylor Townsend in a 6-2, 6-2 thumping. One of the giant killers, Spains Garbine Muguruza, followed up her stunning win over Williams with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Slovakias Anna Schmiedlova. Schmiedlova had previously eliminated Venus Williams on Wednesday. Muguruza will next play Frenchwoman Pauline Parmentier, who rallied for a 1-6, 6-1, 7-5 triumph over Germanys Mona Barthel. Also Friday, eighth-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany beat the darkness and Slovakias Daniela Hantuchova, completing a 7-5, 6-3 decision just before play was suspended due to insufficient light. Kerber will face Canadas Eugenie Bouchard in the round of 16. Bouchard, coming off her first career WTA victory last week in Nuremberg, came away with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Swedens Johanna Larsson. Saturdays third-round action will include matches for Halep and a pair of former French champions. Halep will take on Spains Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor, while 2009 winner Svetlana Kuznetsova will meet fifth-seeded Petra Kvitova and 2008 champ Ana Ivanovic will square off against Lucie Safarova. ' ' '
