Projekte » when Smith won with 50-1 shot Giacomo

CALGARY - When overtime started, Josh Jooris was sitting in the penalty box. When it ended, he was being mobbed by his teammates.Jooris scored at 1:08 of overtime to lead the Calgary Flames to a wild 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday.I was fortunate to come out of the box at the right time and they (Jiri Hudler and Dennis Wideman) just made a great play and I was able to put it in, said Jooris, who took a tripping penalty at 19:01 of the third period while Edmontons Jeff Petry was sent to the box at the same time for embellishment. I was just hoping that we keep it in their zone and have possession of the puck when I came out of the box because its either Petry has 15 feet on me or I have 15 feet on him.Jooris jumped out of the box and took a pass from Hudler before wiring a shot into the top corner, glove side behind Edmonton goalie Ben Scrivens.We needed that two points and the fact that it came against a big rival in Edmonton, its sweeter, said Jooris, who returned to the Calgary lineup after missing the past three games with an upper-body injury. I havent been a part of this rivalry for too long, but you feel it out there. You want to beat them every time.Joe Colborne counted his second and third goals of the season — all against the Oilers — for the Flames (21-15-3).I knew sooner or later they were going to start to go in and its nice to start getting some bounces, said Colborne, who scored his first goal of the season during a 4-1 win over the Oilers at the Saddledome four days earlier. Its especially nice getting them against them, but I wouldnt mind having this success against some other teams, too.Lance Bouma also scored, while Sean Monahan and Curtis Glencross chipped in with two assists each. Making his sixth consecutive start in net for the Flames, goalie Jonas Hiller made 17 saves to improve his record to 13-10-2.Matt Fraser, Jordan Eberle and Andrew Ference scored for the Oilers (8-22-8), while goalie Scrivens stopped 24-of-28 shots he faced in a losing cause.Right now I love our starts, said Eberle, who ended a nine-game goalless drought. I love the way were competing for 40 minutes. It seems like the last two games, weve almost let them come at us and weather the storm and thats not how you win hockey games in this league. You keep going at teams. You continue to play the way that got you the lead.Calgary built up a 5-1 advantage in shots in the first period, but couldnt get any pucks past Scrivens, who made 39 saves one night earlier to backstop the Oilers to a 3-2 shootout win over the L.A. Kings in Edmonton.Edmonton opened the scoring at 16:06 of the first with a power-play goal by Fraser, who was claimed off waivers from the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Hiller stopped the initial shot by David Perron before Fraser adeptly picked up the puck behind the net and banked it off the Calgary goalie and in.I think this team is pretty fragile right now, said Fraser after the loss. I heard it a long time ago that losing can be contagious and part of that, being a new guy in here coming from an organization like Boston, is youve got to bring that element of your game when youre not content with losing.For myself, Ive got to bring something every night so they can see that I want to be a guy that is a difference maker.The Flames had a great chance to even the score after Edmonton defenceman Keith Aulie was assessed a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for a hit to the head on Matt Stajan with 54.2 seconds left in the first period.Scrivens stopped a slap shot fired his way by Mark Giordano and then the rebound attempt by Glencross as time expired in the first. Early in the second on the same power play, Colborne tipped Widemans point shot past Scrivens, but the Edmonton goalie recovered in time to smother the puck with his glove before it crossed the goal-line.Eberle gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead at 10:28 of the second when he took a feed from Leon Draisaitl in the slot and lifted a shot over Hillers blocker and into the Calgary net.Colborne pulled the Flames within a goal with a power-play marker at 18:01 of the second when he converted a feed from Monahan.Bouma tied things up at 4:28 of the third when he backhanded a shot from the slot past Scrivens, who stopped the initial shot taken by Paul Byron.Ference then regained the lead for the Oilers when he took a pass from Draisaitl and blasted a low shot from the point past Hiller.The see-saw battle continued when Colborne drove to the net and shovelled a shot through Scrivens legs at 11:55 of the third.Notes: Calgary now has an all-time record of 17-8-3 on games played on New Years Eve. … The Flames improved to 8-11-1 when trailing after two periods. … Mason Raymond was a healthy scratch after failing to record a point in his past 13 games with the Flames. … Hudler extended his point-scoring streak to five straight games.

They broke from the No. 5 post, the same position hell start the 140th edition of the race with early 5-2 favourite California Chrome. "Hopefully, thats my lucky number," Espinoza said Wednesday. Eight horses have won from there, most recently Funny Cide in 2003. "I think its a perfect spot," trainer Art Sherman said. "I think we break clean, hell get out of a lot of trouble. Hes got a little gas leaving there." At 77, Sherman could become the oldest trainer to win the Derby, surpassing Charlie Whittinghams record of 76 when Sunday Silence won in 1989. California Chrome comes into the Derby having won his last four starts by a combined 24 1/4 lengths. "Just an amazing horse to ride," Espinoza said. "I let him do his own thing and I think he likes that." Hoppertunity was made the 6-1 second choice in the full field of 20 horses. Hoppertunity, who lost to California Chrome in the Santa Anita Derby, drew the No. 11 post for the race Saturday at Churchill Downs. Hes trained by Bob Baffert, a three-time Derby winner with two starters. "Other than California Chrome, whos proven hes a really good horse, theres a lot of horses in there that are pretty close," Baffert said. "Theres a lot of parity in this field." His other horse, Chitu, is a 20-1 long shot that drew the No. 13 post. Wicked Strong, named for the victims of last years Boston Marathon bombings, is the 8-1 third choice and will break from the 20th post on the far outside. He and the No. 10 horse, Wildcat Red, will be last ones loaded into the starting gate, so they wont be in there very long. Some trainers dont like the No. 20 post because their horse is on the far outside and has to quickly make its way over toward the rail to save ground. Calvin Borel will break from the No. 19 post aboard Ride On Curlin. The jockey nicknamed "Bo-rail" for his love of riding along the rail has won three Derbies since 2007, and hell have to hustle his horse over quickly to snag his favourite position. California Chrome, Hoppertunity and Wicked Strong were the only horses listed at single digits by Chhurchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia.dddddddddddd Danza is the 10-1 fourth choice and drew the No. 4 post. Hes one of four horses trained by Todd Pletcher. The others are: Intense Holiday, 12-1; Vinceremos, 30-1; and We Miss Artie, 50-1. "We made out well," Pletcher said. "It doesnt matter where you draw, youre just looking for a clean trip." Mike Maker will saddle a trio of horses: General a Rod, 15-1; Harrys Holiday, 50-1; and Vicars In Trouble, a 30-1 shot that drew the dreaded No. 1 post. Rosie Napravnik will be aboard Vicars In Trouble trying to become the first female jockey to win the Derby. She was fifth last year with Mylute, the highest finish by a woman in history. Napravnik watched the draw from the jockeys room at the track. "I was just kind of shocked, being the first one drawn," she said. "Vicars real sharp out of the gate and I think hell be able to get in good position. Theres been plenty of winners out of the one-hole, so Vicars not in trouble yet." Eight horses have won from the first spot in the starting gate, but none since Ferdinand in 1986. Most trainers despise the No. 1 hole because their horse starts next to the rail and could get pinched going into the crowded first turn. The starting gate is loaded two horses at a time, and the first ones to go in will be Vicars In Trouble and No. 11 Hoppertunity, meaning theyll have the longest wait while the rest of the field is loaded. "Hes a pretty cool, calm horse so he should be fine in there," Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith said about Hoppertunity. Hoppertunity didnt race as a 2-year-old, setting him up for a chance to break one of the Derbys oldest jinxes: no horse since Apollo in 1882 has won the Derby without racing at 2. The No. 10 post has produced the most Derby winners with nine, most recently in 2005, when Smith won with 50-1 shot Giacomo. Wildcat Red, trained by Jose Garrafalo, landed in that spot this time. The other 50-1 shot in the race is Commanding Curve, who will break from the No. 17 post. The 21st horse on the points list is Pablo Del Monte, an also eligible who would need a defection before 9 a.m. Friday, when Derby wagering opens, to get into the $2.2 million race. ' ' '
