Throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs, NHL on TSN analyst and former NHL
goaltender Jamie McLennan ranks the netminders after each game night.
Ederson Jersey . Number values assigned are
out of five with five being the best performance. Tuukka Rask - 5 - Complete
domination, his poise in the net is as good as anyone, no panic in his game,
Penguins targeted high blocker all night, but he was up to task. He had some
luck with a few posts as well. He single handedly killed a penalty in the second
period and did not wear down as the game went on. His rebound control is elite,
and when there was one, he would just casually re-adjust his positioning and
make it look easy. Tomas Vokoun - 5 - Gave the Pens a chance to win on
Wednesday, does not make it look pretty, garage sale after the original shot
sometimes, had some luck on a few posts, but made huge saves on Horton, Krecji
and Marchand in overtime. Was very aggressive on original shots as he played at
the top of his crease all night long. His footwork was the best Ive seen it all
year. Was real confident in setting himself and reacting to the shot.
Luiz Gustavo Jersey . "Theyve both been real
good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been
made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not
have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save
performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal.
Jonas Brazil Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes
he is on the path to being sober for good.

. -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the
Ducks in power football.NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter was feeling nostalgic. He
homered for a big hit. He took part in Hideki Matsuis retirement ceremony. Then
he watched Alfonso Soriano running up the first base line with his arms held out
wide, flashing that electric grin. "A lot of great memories here with Sori," he
said, "and it was almost like old times." The newly reacquainted duo created
another memory Sunday. Jeter connected on the first pitch he saw to give the
Yankees a jolt in his return from the disabled list and Soriano made the captain
a winner with a game-ending single that lifted New York over the Tampa Bay Rays
6-5 Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep. Playing with Jeter for the first time
since being re-acquired by New York from the Cubs on Friday, Soriano homered
among his first four hits with the Yankees and drove in three runs. "I remember
from 2001 to 2003, nothing changed," Soriano said. "We get old but, more
important, he loves the game, I love the game." The 37-year-old Soriano and the
39-year-old Jeter were teammate from 1999 until Soriano was traded to Texas for
Alex Rodriguez after the 2003 season, but they hadnt played together this season
because Jeter was still out with a strained quadriceps. The Yankees lost
Sorianos first two games and he was 0 for 8. But Jeter was activated from the DL
for the second time this month and homered against Matt Moore in the first,
sending a drive to right-centre that ended the Yankees nine-game homerless
drought. He went 2 for 4 and scored twice. "Hes a movie, thats what he is,"
manager Joe Girardi said. Soriano gave it a happy ending. Brett Gardner drew a
leadoff walk from Jake McGee (2-3) in the ninth. McGee then switched belts on
his uniform before facing Jeter, threw a wild pitch and received a visit from
manager Joe Maddon. The decision: walk Jeter intentionally. "I dont want to name
the manufacturer right now, dont want to cause any kind of disgrace or concern
there, but I dont think Ive ever seen that," Maddon said of McGees belt, which
broke at a crucial moment in the game. After Robinson Cano struck out, Soriano
hit a sharp bouncer up the middle for the win. He was mobbed by his teammates
and doused with a liquid during a postgame interview. Mariano Rivera (2-2), the
Yankees fourth reliever, got three groundball outs in the ninth. Rookie
Wil Myers homered twice and drove in four runs against beleaguered Yankees
starter Phil Hughes and Kelly Johnson had an RBI double, but the AL East leaders
lost for only the fourth time in 25 games. Ichiro Suzuki had four hits and drove
in a run on fellow Japanese star Matsuis bobblehead day. Matsui signed his
retirement papers in an on-field ceremony before the game in front of the third
sellout at Yankee Stadium this season, with Jeter standing alongside him. "This
is Matsuis day," Jeter said, "so everyone needs to focus on him." Jeters homer
was the Yankees first long ball by a right-hander since June 25, and his
presence appeared to give the team aan immediate lift.
Diego Alves Brazil Jersey. "Just wave the
magic wand," Andy Pettitte said. "It was cool." After he homered and gave a
quick wave of his cap from the dugout steps, Cano singled and Soriano followed
with his first hit with New York in nine at-bats. Vernon Wells had a sacrifice
fly and Suzuki had RBI single to make it 3-0. Jeter started at shortstop for the
first time this year. He was the designated hitter on July 11 when he returned
from rehabbing the ankle he first broke during the opener of the AL championship
series in October. He was sent right back to the disabled list when he strained
his right quad running out a grounder. The Yankees won just four of 12 during
his most recent absence. "Hes the face of the organization," Soriano said. "When
hes on the field we can feel the energy." Jeters take: "It was fun -- Im tired.
I worked hard to try to get back on the field." Johnson, who drove in the run in
Tampa Bays 1-0 win Saturday, pulled Tampa within two on a double in the second
and Tampa took the lead in the third. Evan Longoria and James Loney singled with
one out, then Myers laced a shot to deep left for a 4-3 edge. But in the bottom
half, Jeter opened the inning by lining a single that glanced off Johnsons glove
behind second base. Girardi was concerned Jeter would overdo it on the bases,
but the 13-time All-Star only needed another easy jog to score his second run.
Soriano sent him into a trot, eking a homer over the right-field wall just out
of the reach of a leaping Myers. "If I had one more step, I feel like I could
catch that ball," Myers said. Myers put another ball of his own out of everyones
reach in the fifth, an opposite-field shot to right for the first multihomer
game of his career. Plagued by home runs throughout his career, Hughes has
allowed 20 this season. Often mentioned in trade rumours, Hughes yielded five
runs and nine hits in four-plus innings and left to a vociferous Bronx cheer. He
was lifted after walking Matt Joyce in the fifth, and the New York bullpen shut
down the Rays the rest of the way. Preston Claiborne, Boone Logan,
David Robertson and Rivera combined on five innings of one-hit ball. Moores
six-start winning streak ended when he was lifted after five innings with the
score tied at 5. Moore allowed five runs and eight hits. NOTES: Myers has a
nine-game hitting streak. ... Yankees RHP David Phelps (forearm strain) said he
will make his second rehab start Tuesday, for Double-A Trenton. ... Injured INF
3B Jayson Nix (strained right hamstring) should be activated when the Yankees
visit the Dodgers on Tuesday. ... Rays INF Ben Zobrist was given the day off.
... Yankees OF Curtis Granderson (broken left pinkie), who could rejoin the team
next weekend, was hitless in four at-bats, including two strikeouts, in his
fourth game with Class A Tampa. He is 2 for 13 overall. ... A-Rod arrived at the
Yankees complex in Tampa, Fla., around 5 p.m. and took BP and fielded grounders
on the grass after the Tampa Yankees game.
