Pittsburgh handled Ottawa easily, while Jonathan Quick thwarted the San Jose Sharks attack in Game One of their respective second round series. SENS CANT FIGHT THE PENGUINS POWERAs I mentioned in my article looking at shot differentials and save percentages going into the second round, the Penguins are a team that can lose the shot on goal battle and still win because they score on a high percentage of their shots, due in part because of a lights-out power play. In Game One of their second-round series against Ottawa, Pittsburgh scored on two of their three power play opportunities, adding a shorthanded goal in the third period to effectively ice the game, on their way to a 4-1 win over the Senators. The Penguins had the game well in hand, which allowed them to roll their lines. Penguins RW Pascal Dupuis, who scored his playoff-leading sixth goal (the aforementioned shorthanded marker) led all Penguins forwards in time, playing 17:37. He also had the best possession metrics for the Penguins in Game One. Ottawa managed to keep C Sidney Crosby under wraps -- no points, four shots on goal, minus-1 -- in the 17:04 that he played, but the Penguins are deep enough to handle such occasions. LW Chris Kunitz had a goal and an assist, to along with five hits, which tied LW Matt Cooke for most on the team. C Evgeni Malkin scored a goal and an assist in his 15:56 of ice time and, with 13 points, is now tied with David Krejci atop the playoff scoring race. Penguins D Douglas Murray blocked five Senators shots. The point of contention in this series is whether the Penguins can keep scoring at such a high rate or whether Senators G Craig Anderson and keep stopping better than 94% of the shots he faces. The early regression goes to Anderson, as he surrendered four goals on 30 shots. Senators D Eric Gryba was rocked by a heavy hit from Penguins D Brooks Orpik. If Gryba is out, and Patrick Wiercioch isnt ready to return, the Sens may have to dig deeper to someone like Mike Lundin, who doesnt offer the same physical presence. Despite getting outshot 36-30, Pittsburgh got a relatively easy win coming out of the gate, so the Senators will have to be more forceful in Game Two if they are going to avoid falling behind two games to none. QUICK THWARTS SHARKS ATTACKIn assessing the Kings chances against the Sharks, it was noted that Jonathan Quick has the power to confound expectations. His play in the first round against St. Louis was far better than his regular season and Quick continued to be a brilliant last line of defence, stopping 35 San Jose shots to give the Kings a 2-0 win in the series opener. Offensively, the Kings Mike Richards and Slava Voynov took turns setting each other up and both finished with a goal and an assist. On the first goal, Richards gained the zone, found a charging Voynov and he blasted a rocket top shelf late in the first period then, midway through the second frame, Richards deflected a Voynov point shot. Sharks C Logan Couture and LW Raffi Torres were on for both goals against, taking minus-2 for their efforts. Torres played 17:25, which was his third-highest total in five playoff games (he topped 20 minutes twice against Vancouver), but a threshold he surpassed just once in 39 regular season games. Rookie Sharks D Matt Irwin led the attack with six shots on goal, while the line of Joe Thornton, Brent Burns and T.J. Galiardi controlled play faring very well possession-wise. Of course, when it comes to single-game sample sizes, possession isnt everything, considering that Voynov had the worst numbers in that respect for the Kings. But the story of Game One was Quick, who made 35 saves for his second shutout, holding the fort in the third period when the Sharks outshot the Kings 16-4 in a furious, and fruitless, attempt to get back in the game. While the Kings can be happy with a Game One win, getting outshot 35-20 on home ice is hardly the recipe for long-term success. San Jose should be able to take some solace that they generated offensive chances because, over the long haul, chances are bound to start turning into goals. Unless Jonathan Quick says otherwise.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.

Rory Best admits reaching 100 caps could rank as the top achievement of his glittering Ireland career.Best will become Irelands fifth centurion in Saturdays autumn Test clash with Australia in Dublin, joining Brian ODriscoll, Paul OConnell, Ronan OGara and John Hayes in the exclusive set.The evergreen 34-year-old Ireland captain has no intentions of easing up, but conceded that hitting triple figures in Test caps is a milestone he never expected.I think its probably safe enough to say I didnt ever anticipate this, said Ireland captain Best. When you get your first cap for Ireland its like a dream come true and all you want to do is get the next one.After that every time you get picked you feel incredibly lucky. Then you tick quite close to 50 and you think imagine getting to 50. But now to be on the verge of 100 caps, its quite difficult to believe.I think it will probably be more important whenever I eventually do retire, which will hopefully be a while, and you sit back and look at everything youve achieved.But when I do look back this will rank up there as one of, if not the best achievements Ive had in the game. I feel Im playing well. Theres a lot made of turning 30, everyone then says youre done. But for me age is just a number.When youve never been overly fast and you lose a little bit of pace as you get older, hopefully it doesnt matter. Hopefully you make it up in your head.I dont see that Im playing any worse than I ever did, so I feel fit, happy with my game and the big thing for me is Im really enjoying it at the minute.Ireland now have the chance to become the first northern hemisphere team since England in 2003 to beat the southerrn hemispheres big three in a calendar year.ddddddddddddSir Clive Woodwards World Cup winners saw off South Africa and Australia en route to landing the William Webb Ellis Cup in Sydney in 2003.England had beaten New Zealand in Wellington earlier that year, in a feat that has yet to be repeated by a Test side from the north.Irelands superlative 40-29 win over New Zealand in Chicago on November 5 now sets up the chance for a rare clean sweep, following the 26-20 victory over South Africa in June.Australia have won four matches on the spin however, and arrive in Dublin on their best run of form since their seven-Test winning sequence that carried them to the World Cup final.Best will keep himself calm and collected from all the building clamour by sticking to his tried and tested routines.The gritty farmers son from Banbridge will seek out his shorts and socks from Irelands kit room for the 100th time on Friday night - then take any small moment to himself to reinforce his own role.I have a fairly set routine, Ill go and get the shorts and socks and that probably includes watching Conor Murray, Simon Zebo and Pete OMahony destroy the bag mans room, John Moore, said Best.Then its just trying to get as much sleep as you can, then probably sleep a little more tomorrow. Then when you get little moments you have to think about the game and try to rehearse your role within that, rehearse the lineouts and things.I have a set routine and Ill definitely more so than any other week Ill try to stick to it over the next 24 hours.
