While Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are elite players

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings combined for 32 shots on goal, yet both won Monday night. Dalton Pompey Jersey . Notes on Crosby, Fleury, Diaz, Gaborik, Schultz and more. FLEURY SHUTS OUT RANGERS, AGAIN Sidney Crosbys first goal of the postseason was the game-winner and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 35 New York Rangers shots he faced, giving the Pittsburgh Penguins a 2-0 win in Game Three and a 2-1 lead in the series. Crosby played 16:54, a threshold that he surpassed in 86 of 88 previous games this season and only had one shot on goal, but it found the back of the net, going five-hole on Henrik Lundqvist after being sent in on a partial breakaway by a Robert Bortuzzo pass. Crosbys goal gives him seven points (1 G, 6 A) in nine playoff games, which is below his standard, but getting off the goose-egg ought to alleviate some pressure. The Penguins other goal was a gift for Jussi Jokinen, who picked up an errant Rangers pass for a breakaway as he stepped out of the penalty box. Jokinen now has seven points (4 G, 3 A) in the playoffs and, with four shots on goal, was the only Penguin with more than two shots on goal in the game. Back-to-back shutouts sure changes the view on the playoff performance of Fleury, who had allowed at least three goals in six of his first seven games in the playoffs, but hes stopped all 57 shots that the Rangers have sent his way in the last two nights. His save percentage is up to .919 for this postseason. While the Rangers held a possession advantage by games end, they gained that advantage on their punchless power play (now 0-for-30 in the past eight games) and once the Penguins had built their 2-0 lead. Before that point, the Penguins had 24 5-on-5 shot attempts for and 23 against (51.1%). After that, the Rangers held a 24-9 (72.7%) edge, but those are empty possession calories, a nature of the way the game is played by teams holding a multi-goal lead. The player sending the most shots toward the Pittsburgh net for the Rangers was D Raphael Diaz, who had six shots on goal and nine shot attempts in his first game of the postseason. Next was RW Rick Nash, who had eight shot attempts, but is still looking for his first playoff goal this year. Nash has two goals in 25 career playoff games. The schedule has been ridiculous for the Rangers, who have played five games in seven days, but they had better hope that getting back on a more normal schedule will be enough for them to solve a suddenly-hot Marc-Andre Fleury. KINGS HOLD ON TO BEAT DUCKS Jonathan Quick stopped 36 of 37 shots while Marian Gaborik and Alec Martinez scored first-period goals, then the Los Angeles Kings held on (adding an empty-netter by Dwight King) to beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1, taking a 2-0 series lead. Gaborik scored his playoff-leading sixth goal just 34 seconds into the game, after scoring the last two goals of Game One, and the Kings were off and running. Martinez, who finished the year strong (7 G, 8 A in 22 GP after the Olympics) now has two goals and five points in nine playoff games. Perhaps the most remarkable part of the night for Los Angeles was that D Jeff Schultz, playing with Robyn Regehr and Willie Mitchell injured, logged 19:58 of ice time, ranking fourth on the Kings blueline behind Drew Doughty, Jake Muzzin and Slava Voynov. That might not seem like such a big deal -- someone had to play those minutes -- but Schultz didnt play a game in the NHL this season. He had 13 points (2 G, 11 A) and was plus-10 in 67 AHL games. Schultz was minus-10 in Corsi for Game Two but that ice time played into that deficit. Anaheims goal came on the power play from LW Patrick Maroon, their third-leading playoff scorer (2 G, 4 A, 8 GP), behind Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. The Ducks were dominating the possession game, but couldnt solve Quick and now head to Staples Center down two games in the series. With the ice tilted so heavily in Anaheims favour, the defence pairing of Ben Lovejoy and Cam Fowler was on for better than 80% of the 5-on-5 shot attempts. Anaheim was seven seconds away from winning Game One and carried the play in Game Two, yet still lost, so while they are facing a daunting task to come back, they have been able to handle the puck possession game against a Kings team that was the leagues best in that respect during the regular season. It may not do them much good, but its more encouraging than getting beaten from pillar-to-post in the first couple games.

The group of Slava Fetisov, Igor Larionov, Vladimir Konstantinov, Sergei Fedorov, & Slava Kozlov were a dominant force for The Wings at one point in the 90s.CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Cavaliers are struggling, and then some. LeBron James believes hes a major reason for their early failures.We got a four-game losing streak, so I stink, he said. Im not doing my job.With the Cavs at 5-7, playing uninspired and not close to living up to enormous expectations, James offered the blunt critique of his own game Monday at the teams shootaround as they prepared to host the Orlando Magic.After a day spent with family and watching football, James, who called the Cavs fragile following Saturday nights loss to the Toronto Raptors, said he has to do a better job leading the way. Hes staying positive, cognizant that if he isnt upbeat his teammates will follow his example.Me being the leader of the team, if I start hanging my head low then its going to start going to everyone else, he said. They look up to me. They look to me to make a difference and Ive got to stay positive even through the rough times. As Ive said before, this is not the darkest point that well see this year. Ive seen dark and this is very light to me.Cleveland, picked by many to win the NBA title in James homecoming season, went 0-4 last week with losses to Denver, San Antonio, Washington and Toronto. James wasnt himself, averaging just 18 points per game, committing a turnover in the closing seconds of the loss to the Spurs and inexplicably not hustling back on defence in the loss to the Wizards. Hes made uncharacteristically foolish passes and shown frustration with his ....... language.James has tried to send mmessages to his teammates during interview sessions. Drew Storen Jersey. After the loss to Toronto, he cautioned that the Cavs problems would probably grow worse before they got better, a forecast that chilled some Cleveland fans already dealing with the onset of an early winter.On Monday, James said the Cavs tough times could linger.This is not the biggest adversity point that well hit, he said. Do I think were going to get to the finals? I dont know. I dont know what the future holds, but from my perspective its not as bad as it may seem.James reference point for dark times is different from any of his teammates. He often sites the 2011 NBA Finals, when he and the Miami Heat squandered a 2-1 lead and lost in six games to the Dallas Mavericks, as the low point of his career.The collapse haunts James.Its still here with me, he said. I think about it every day. Every day at some point something that happened in that series pops in my head.When he was in Miami, James had All-Star Dwyane Wade, a former NBA champion, to help him lead. He doesnt have that luxury in Cleveland. While Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are elite players, neither have been through the grind of a championship season.Hes going it alone, and to this point the ................ has been heavy for James.Its a different feeling, he said. But something I was ready for. I knew it would be the biggest challenge of my career thus far, and I accept the challenge. When we lose I take full responsibility and when we win the team wins, thats what its all about.
