PHILADELPHIA -- Fists were flying faster than shots on goal. Sidney Crosby and Claude Giroux even became knotted in the pushing, pulling and shoving, a pair of superstars willing to mix it up to prove which team was the baddest on the ice and the scoreboard. The Penguins and Flyers talked trash, laid the smack down, and played one wildly entertaining game. The result was still the same. The Flyers rallied from another early deficit for a decisive Game 3 victory that placed them on the brink of an improbable sweep. Danny Briere, Matt Read and Max Talbot each scored two goals to lead Philadelphia to an 8-4 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday in a fight-filled game in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal. Giroux and Wayne Simmonds also scored to help the Flyers take a 3-0 lead in the combustible best-of-seven series. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Philadelphia. The Flyers scored 20 goals in the first three games. "Our goal is to finish it right away," Briere said. The goals might be hard to find on a highlight reel. This one was all about the brawls more suitable for a UFC card. Three players were tossed in the first period. There was a rare fight between superstars when Crosby squared off against Giroux. No one got the better end of that scrap. But by the end, Flyers fans serenaded the Penguins with booming chants of "You cant beat us!" "All three games were kind of weird games," Giroux said. "I guess I like weird games because we always finish by winning." Jordan Staal and James Neal scored twice for a Penguins team pushed to the limit by its hated, intrastate rival. Marc-Andre Fleury was benched after allowing six goals in two periods. He has allowed a whopping 17 goals in the first three games. Coach Dan Bylsma said Fleury would start, "the next four games." Hard to imagine at this rate, especially with NHL scoring leader Evgeni Malkin (109 points) yet to score a goal for the Penguins. The Flyers played a post-season video that billed their run as the "Fight to the Cup." They never expected a first period that would have left those old Broad Street Bullies smiling. Each team had their top defenceman -- Pittsburghs Kris Letang and Philadelphias Kimmo Timonen -- tossed. So was Penguins forward Arron Asham. But the scene ripped straight out of the pages of Ripleys came when Giroux and Crosby went at it against the backboard. "In the end, thats really playoff hockey," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "A couple of the best players in the world dropping the gloves going at it. Would I rather have G keep his gloves on? Sure. But when hes fighting Sidney Crosby, thats playoff hockey. Thats this series." Crosby ignited the scrum when he twice jabbed goalie Ilya Bryzgalovs glove against the ice. Giroux, third in the NHL in points this season, shoved Crosby from behind. Crosby, clearly not caring about his history of concussions, retaliated by shoving Girouxs head against the glass. While the 20,092 fans dressed in their matching Hulk Hogan-inspired orange T-shirts roared, Timonen and Letang exchanged shots, and Voracek and Pittsburghs Steve Sullivan each were penalized for roughing. Timonen and Letang were both hit with 5 minutes for fighting and were ejected because they were assessed a major penalty after the original fight had started. Crosby insisted the Penguins werent getting rattled. "Theres more than one team getting in those things," he said. "You can make a story all you want about us getting frustrated. Theyre doing the same things we are. Its intense." The on-ice violence was just warming up. Flyers forward Brayden Schenn rammed Paul Martin into the boards, turned around and was crosschecked in the upper body by Asham. Asham jumped a defenceless Schenn and connected with a vicious right to earn the match penalty -- a penalty imposed on a player who deliberately attempts to injure or who deliberately injures an opponent in any manner. Asham could get suspended for the punch. As the game wound down, Crosby yanked the back of Scott Hartnells jersey and the fireworks went off again. Simmonds, Neal and Pittsburghs Craig Adams also were socked with penalties. The slugfest on the ice overshadowed the one on the scoreboard. Staal scored only 3:52 into the game to give the Penguins the first goal for the third straight game. It marked the 13th time out of the last 15 games the Flyers have trailed 1-0. At that point, the Flyers had been outscored 7-1 in the first period in this series. The Flyers rallied from a 3-0 hole in Game 1, and deficits of 2-0 and 3-1 in Game 2. They did it again. Talbot tapped a rebound toward Fleury that the Penguins goalie tried to stab at with his glove. The puck trickled by for the tying goal. Briere scored consecutive goals off a 5-on-3 power play and a one-timer to leave Fleury reeling. "I thought the first two games in Pittsburgh were crazy," he said. "This one was even wilder." Neal scored the first of his two goals to make it 3-2. Read ended the period when he snagged the puck behind the net, skated around and buried it for a 4-2 lead. Crosby and Bryzgalov jawed at each other as the teams skated toward the locker room. Philadelphias lead stood even as the 108-point Penguins attacked with their offence instead of their fists in the second period. Neal and Read swapped goals to open the second. Staal knocked in a rebound to help the Penguins close to 5-4. Simmonds, though, took a perfect entry pass from Braydon Coburn and backhanded in the fast-break attempt for the insurance goal. That was their third power-play goal and the Flyers also had a short-handed score. The Penguins were assessed 46 penalty minutes, and the Flyers 34, through the first two periods. "I dont like them, because I dont like any guy on their team," Crosby said. Fleury, having a series to forget, was replaced by Brent Johnson to open the third. New goalie, same result. Giroux scored 27 seconds into the third on Philadelphias first shot of the period. The scoring continued and so did the hard hits. Neal flattened Game 2 star Sean Couturier in the waning minutes and sent the Flyers rookie centre to the locker room. Players from both teams -- including Schenn and Crosby -- had to be separated during a melee along the boards. Neal appeared to target Girouxs head in the third, though the Flyers star ducked and landed softly on the ice. "We saw Neal going after Seans head and Claudes head," Briere said. "Obviously, he had a plan in mind." Its a plan Bylsma wants to avoid. "The way the game was called, there was a lot of extracurricular activity during and after the plays," he said. "Thats an area of the game we want to stay away from. We dont want to be involved in those situations against this team." Notes: The Flyers hold a 3-0 lead in a playoff series for the 11th time. ... Johnson made his third career post-season relief appearance for the Penguins. ... The Penguins have lost six straight playoff games. wholesale jerseys china.

The Raptors know first-hand what Lin can bring to the table in terms of attendance and excitement. Lin scored 27 points and hit the game-winning three-pointer in a win over the Raptors in front of a big crowd at the Air Canada Centre on Valentines Day. The Raptors would likely attempt to back-load any offer they make to Lin, a restricted free agent this summer, by paying big money over the last few seasons of a deal. cheap jerseys from china.

"Those players will not be eligible for selection (Wednesday against the Houston Dynamo)," Toronto coach Paul Mariner said Tuesday night of Miguel Aceval, Luis Silva and Nick Soolsma.They say much of the romanticism has gone out of football - replaced by big money and overindulged players. That all changes this weekend as the FA Cups third round provides the type of football romance that according to the Smiths even Caligulia would have blushed. The oldest knockout competition in all of world team sport has been providing thrills and spills aplenty since 1871s inaugural tournament. Theres nothing quite like it in world football as minnows from the amateur ranks get their chance of fame and fortune. It is at this third round stage when the big clubs enter the competition and the football form book takes its annual leave of absence. Giant-killing enters the lexicon and mindset of a football nation as it wills on its football underclass. Cinderella resplendent with her banana skin that has previously had the names of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United on it has provided the type of moments that have passed down to the next generations as it pushes into the spotlight part time players from an assortment of blue collar households. Camouflaged Bentleys not included. The most iconic third round moment occurred in 1972 when non-league Hereford United slayed the might of Newcastle United - who at the time were one of Englands grandest clubs and recent UEFA Fairs Cup winners. It still hurts the Geordies. So much so, the club still has not fully recovered psychologically and in the midst of a major trophy drought that has now prolonged itself well over four decades. The Hollywood scriptwriters should be all over one particular tie this soon to be infamous FA Cups third round weekend. That as part of the weekend build up includes a wedding. It doesnt get more blue collar than Mansfield a closely knit mining town on the outskirts of Sherwood Forest - the place likely where Robin Hood honed his football skills alongside Maid Marion and Friar Tuck. Following relegation from the professional ranks, Mansfield Town - a club founded in 1897 - currently toils in the mid table obscurity of the Conference League. Paying them a visit Sunday is five-time European Champions - and pride of Merseyside – Liverpool (Who themselves are in the midst of their own trophy drought that goes back to 2006s FA Cup win on penalties). Back in mid-November, after Mansfield had successfully navigated their way into the second round and knowing they were within 90 minutes of a possible date with a Premier League giant, head coach Paul Cox provided his players with the perfect motivation. He promised if they won, he would get married. A man of his word, Cox will tie the knot 24 hours ahead of the biggest match in the clubs history. No ordinary venue either, as he will do so at the clubs training complex. No word on if Luis Suarez has agreed to be Best Man. Surely this has to be the very first time one of world footballs biggest clubs has pulled into town on the team bus and as part of the weekend long pre-match festivities have been invited to the wedding of their opponeents manager.dddddddddddd What pray would Bill Shankly be thinking? One player that wont be on that Liverpool team bus is Joe Cole - the latest player in the decades long line of highly talented Englishmen who never came close to fulfilling their youthful promise. Whose career now is about to come full circle. Following a quite diabolical two-plus seasons at Anfield, Cole is on his way back within the bosom of Upton Park (Where he made his professional debut 14 years ago as 17-year old in this very same competition and could make his West Ham debut version 2.0 Saturday lunchtime when Birthday Boy Sir Alex Fergusons star studded caravan rolls into East London). Ferguson led the queue of admirers who marveled at Cole in the world famous West Ham Academy a football finishing ground that single handedly groomed the major contributors to Englands lone 1966 World Cup triumph. The Knight of the Realm used to call the then West Ham manager Harry Redknapp every single week asking the Cockney Cumodgeon if hed deal the teenaged Cole to Old Trafford. Incredibly wheeler dealer Harry refused to budge. Cole eventually left Upton Park for Chelsea in summer 2003. The Crafty Cockney now has opportunity to mirror Paolo Di Canio the maverick Italian who called the bluff of French world cup winner and Manchester United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez back in 2001 when the two storied clubs meet for an East End knees up Saturday lunchtime. One of four all BPL match ups it has all the ingredients. Fat Sam squaring off with his old pal Ferguson as this particular hallowed part of East London gets set to welcome home one of its most famous footballing sons (Who once scored seven goals in a match against Spain when playing for Englands youth team). West Ham wont need reminding what happened the last time the two teams met in the competition almost exactly a decade ago. Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs both featured in Uniteds starting line up with Cole in that famous claret and blue. Giggs accounted for a brace as United went on to thrash West Ham 6-0. You can be absolutely sure the same wont occur Saturday. Ferguson will likely rest his festive season weary and give fringe players an opportunity. Allardyce will go for the jugular - the Northerner fully aware the major artery of West Hams legacy goes right through the heart and soul of the FA Cup. Back in mid-summer when qualifying for the competition kicked off close to 800 clubs stood chance to create the latest edition of third round fairytales. With nothing guaranteed you can be assured of at least one thing. Of the 32 teams that will live to fight on some will herald from towns and villages where the club owner still is the local butcher, baker or candlestick maker. West Ham United v Manchester United live from Upton Park airs across the TSN and TEAM Radio Networks this Saturday, with coverage kicking off at 12:15pm et/9:15am pt.

La ventana de fecha se ha trasladado de las Replicas de Relojes horas a las 6; los índices se desmarcan claramente de la esfera Relojes Suizos y se muestran rebosantes de Super-LumiNova. Las manecillas mantienen Relojes Imitacion la forma que les dio fama. Y, desde fuera, controlándolo todo, la sempiterna válvula de helio, por si acaso hay de verdad alguien que se sumerge tan hondo como permite el reloj. Ahora tiene una forma cónica y se puede manejar incluso bajo el agua.
