TORONTO -- When the pace car began sliding around the Toronto track, IndyCar knew it was in trouble.
Tony Gonzalez Falcons Jersey . The Honda Indy Toronto was postponed Saturday after steady rain throughout the afternoon made for hazardous conditions on the 11-turn, 2.81-kilometre track at Exhibition Place. "Im gutted. I just feel so bad for all the fans here in Toronto," said driver James Hinchcliffe of Oakville, Ont. "Its the worst case scenario -- the rain started right as the race was supposed to start, the conditions were just so bad. "Just gutted for these guys. I really hope we can get back tomorrow and mother nature co-operates a bit more and we can put on a show. These fans have been great all week and they definitely deserve it." The race was moved to Sunday morning, with the second half of a planned doubleheader still scheduled for the afternoon. Both races were also shortened from 85 laps to 65. The morning race will feature a rolling start, while the second will be a standing start. Qualifying for the second race will also be determined by current points standings, which puts Helio Castroneves on pole. Driver visibility and a slick street course led to a pair of accidents before Saturdays race ever got started when Ryan Briscoe and Will Power each hit the wall. Even the pace car nearly slid into a corner. "The conditions were tough for sure," said Ryan Hunter-Reay. "I cant speak for the drivers in the back on how visibility was but it was borderline -- marginal even -- for us." Sebastien Bourdais was set to start on pole after qualifying first in the morning session. Bourdais waited under an umbrella through two red flags that twice pulled the cars off the track as IndyCar officials hoped for the weather to clear. It never did. Bourdais, who was to start a race from the pole for the first time since 2007, looked steamed as he left the pits for good. Hell start again in first place Sunday morning. IndyCar president Derrick Walker said race officials waited as long as they could for conditions to improve. "I think it would have been crazy to have started the race today," said Walker. "I mean it doesnt look like a lot of water but when you get out there and look at it, its enough to make a difference. ... "I dont think we did the wrong thing. We waited and waited and part of the indecision ... was really us just going as late as we could before we called it." The race, which was initially shortened from 85 laps to 65 and two hours to 90 minutes to compensate for the delay, was finally called after well over two hours of waiting. The first casualty of the weather was a planned standing start that had to be scrapped in favour of a safer, single-file rolling start. Briscoe then collided with the same turn where he broke his wrist last year. Power, who was supposed to start second, slid into a 180 and damaged his car to trigger another delay. Powers Penke crew hustled to get his car fixed and back on the grid, but the effort was futile in the end when the race was cancelled and soggy fans left the track. IndyCar races can be run in the rain, the last one as recently as June 28 at the doubleheader in Houston. But Walker said sweepers couldnt keep water from collecting on the track at Exhibition Place. Driver and fan safety, in the end, trumped the race. "Racing in the rains great but you cant go and throw everybody in the fence just because the conditions are archaic and I think they were that today," said Walker. Both races Sunday could be just as ... More rain is in the forecast, but Walker was adamant IndyCar would run at least one race in Toronto. "I think wed probably stay here as long as we possible could to get a race in, for sure," said Walker who added there was a chance it might also happen Monday if necessary. "But I think were going to get it in tomorrow. At least one race tomorrow."

According to a report from ESPN, Lynch wants a new contract from the Seahawks, and will likely skip all off-season workouts until he can renegotiate his deal with the Seahawks.St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Brian Elliott stopped 24 shots and seven different St. Louis players recorded a goal in the Blues 7-2 rout of the San Jose Sharks at Scottrade Center. Alex Steen, Jay Bouwmeester, Paul Stastny, Jori Lehtera, T.J. Oshie, Patrik Berglund and David Backes all lit the lamp for the Blues, who have won three in a row and tied a season high for offensive output set in an identical 7-2 victory at San Jose five days ago. I dont think one guy makes seven goals, said Stastny. We have four lines going well. Logan Couture and Melker Karlsson scored for the Sharks, who have dropped five of their last eight contests. Antti Niemi was pulled after giving up five goals on 21 shots in 33-plus minutes. Alex Stalock finished up and yielded the other two St. Louis scores. For us, the two games against St. Louis give us an indication of where we are as a club, said Sharks coach Todd McLellan. Steen put St. Louis on the board with 9:22 remaining in the first period while the Blues were up a man, putting home a Vladimir Tarasenko pass in transition after Elliott stopped a Couture short-handed chance. Bouwmeester doubled the hosts advantage on a long wrister with 4:554 left before intermission.
Steve Bartkowski Jersey. San Joses Joe Pavelski sat four minutes for a high-sticking minor later in the period, yet Couture answered for the Sharks off a 2-on-1 break at 18:27. Stastny then struck on the advantage only 39 seconds later to restore the two- goal margin. Karlsson lit the lamp just 29 seconds into the second by converting a Couture rebound, but the Blues responded with scores from Lehtera at 8:52 and Oshie at 13:20. The second tally, which originated on a Steen chance, precipitated Niemis removal with the Sharks down 5-2. Stalocks insertion did little to stir the Sharks, and the Blues closed out the rout on goals from Berglund at 9:05 and Backes at 11:59 of the final period. Game Notes The Blues have racked up a 20-4 scoring advantage during their brief win streak, and have recorded six or more goals in three straight games for the first time since Dec. 9-15, 2000 (6-4 vs. CHI; 6-1 at CHI, 6-3 at ATL) ... Jaden Schwartz contributed three assists to the winning side ... Bouwmeesters goal was his first in 22 games ... Steen has totaled 11 points (3G, 8A) during his five-game point streak.
