Adams hit it out of the park. Since it went out of the park Kershaw choked? No way. That ball could have easily been a line drive right at some one for an out. It could have been caught at the wall or hit off the wall and the game could have been dramatically different. No one is to blame. Just give credit to Matt Adams. Clayton Kershaw does not have great post-season numbers does that make him a choker? The same is always said about Peyton Manning in football. He has all the MVP awards from great regular seasons but only one Super Bowl championship. They call him a choker. For the longest time Barry Bonds was called a choker because of poor post-season performance. That is until he finally hit in the post-season. Alex Rodriguez was the same way. Forever he was ripped in New York for being a poor post-season hitter until he hit in the post-season. Give me the player who continuously gets me to the post season and sooner or later he will perform then. Talent always finds a way. Give me Peyton Manning over Eli Manning everyOttawa Senators Craig Anderson is day-to-day with a hand injury head coach Dave Cameron said he suffered against Toronto so Andrew Hammond has been recalled on an emergency basis. - TSN Toronto Maple Leafs The team reassigned Josh Leivo to the Marlies of the AHL. – Team Release Edmonton Oilers It turns out that Taylor Hall did not sustain any structural damage when he was hit by a puck earlier this week and will be back in the Edmonton Oilers’ lineup sooner rather than later.

Vinny Lecavalier scored three goals in Philadelphias biggest breakout game of the young season, and Steve Mason made 26 saves to lift the Flyers to a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday night. The Flyers (3-7) hadnt scored more than two goals in any of their first nine games. One more and they would have become the first NHL team to have a season-opening run of 10 games without three goals since the 1940 New York Americans. Now Philadelphia has won two straight since a franchise-worst 1-7 start. The win gave Lecavalier, who played 14 seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning before joining the Flyers this summer, a chance to savour his seventh career three-goal performance. "This was a really good game for me and for the team," said the 33-year-old Lecavalier, whose previous hat trick was March 11, 2008, also against the Islanders. "Overall, tonight is a good confidence boost for everybody. It feels really good to score more than two goals." Jakub Voracek and Matt Read also scored, and former Islanders captain Mark Streit added two assists as the Flyers won their first road game. Kyle Okposo and Frans Nielsen had goals, and Kevin Poulin made 27 saves for the Islanders, who couldnt build on a come-from-behind win at Pittsburgh on Friday. Lecavalier opened the scoring with a power-play goal 4:30 in. The centre, who signed with the Flyers after the Lightning bought out his contract, scored his second of the season on a slap shot from the top of the right circle. Streit, returning to Long Island for the first time since joining the Flyers, passed the puck to Lecavalier from the point. "Today was an emotional day for me," said Streit, who spent five seasons with the Islanders and served as captain for the final two. "This was special, and Im happy we played smart hockey." Voracek made it 2-0 a minute later, but Okposo got the Islanders back within a goal at 10:16. Lecavalier increased thee lead to 3-1 with his second of the game at 18:13.dddddddddddd. Streit also assisted as did rookie left wing Michael Raffl, who earned his first NHL point. "Its hard to find the words, it feels like a dream" said the 24-year-old Raffl, a native of Austria. Lecavalier, who has 387 career NHL goals, completed the hat trick with his fourth goal of the season at 9:53 of the third. Nielsens short-handed goal midway through the second had cut New Yorks deficit to 3-2. Read added an empty-net goal with 1:32 remaining to seal the Flyers first road win of the season. Poulin made just his second start of the season for the Islanders (4-4-3). His only other outing in place of No. 1 goalie Evgeni Nabokov was a 3-2 loss at Chicago on Oct. 11. The Islanders, who next play the rival New York Rangers at home on Tuesday, havent won consecutive games this season. Defenceman Andrew MacDonald spoke of the teams inability to be consistent. "We have to find a level of consistency every shift. Its not always easy," he said. "This loss is a lesson for everyone. Its not going to be there every night. But we have to work hard at winning battles. That will make us successful." The Flyers are 16-3 at Nassau Coliseum since the 2007-08 season and 30-7-1-2 in their last 40 games there. Islanders captain John Tavares assisted on Okposos goal to extend his point streak to 10 games. The only game he has been kept off the score sheet was the season opener at New Jersey on Oct. 4. Nielsens goal at 10:30 of the second was his seventh of the season and gave him a four-game goal streak. He leads the Islanders with 15 points.
