The resiliency, finding a way. Through these six games, I think weve found different ways to win hockey games.Sergei Bobrovsky had 33 saves through overtime, then stopped Evgeni Malkin and Brandon Sutter in the tiebreaker to preserve the win.Nick Foligno, Boone Jenner and Jack Johnson scored in regulation for the Blue Jackets. Jenners score came on a penalty shot with 7:55 remaining in the third period.

Doing those handshakes after Game 6. Its always in your mind. It doesnt go away. To play them here the first time this year, the crowd was electric.Kris Letang had two goals — including the tying score with 11 seconds remaining in regulation — and Blake Comeau also scored for the Penguins, and Thomas Greiss finished with 24 saves. Letang also scored in the shootout.Pittsburgh was without star Sidney Crosby for a second straight game because of swelling to the right side of his face that team officials said doesnt appear to be mumps as they await results from additional tests.The Penguins came in 10-1-1 in their last 12 regular season games against the Blue Jackets, including a 5-0 mark last season.Letangs short-handed goal gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead at 7:22 of the third as he scored on a 2-on-1 break with a high flick shot over Bobrovsky.As the game went along, physically we met the challenge and we started to take over the game, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said. Puck possession-wise through the last half of the game it was certainly in our favour.Columbus countered with two goals in 5:44 to take the lead. After being hauled down on a break by Simon Depres, Jenner beat Greiss with a shot under his blocker on a penalty shot for his sixth goal of the season.Then with the teams skating 4-on-4, Johnson followed with a shot from the left circle into the far corner of the net to make it 3-2 with 3:11 remaining.Pittsburgh kept pushing down the stretch. With Greiss pulled for an extra attacker, Columbus twice was called for icing with under 25.5 seconds left bringing the face off back into the Blue Jackets zone. Letang finally made took advantage with a one-timer from the left circle for his seventh goal.I think we played really well in the third period, Letang said. We were after them and dictating the play. We deserved the point.The Blue Jackets jumped ahead 1-0 on the power play at 3:02 of the first period partly because a series of odd bounces that put Pittsburgh flat-footed. Jenner got a step and fed a centring pass to Foligno, who stopped it with his skate before snapping home his team-best 14th into an open net.Throughout the period there were hard checks all over the ice, culminating with two simultaneous fights with just under 5 minutes to go set off by Columbus Brandon Dubinksy charging Steve Downie hard into the boards near the Pittsburgh bench.

Were coming around and playing the right way.NOTES: Both teams are dealing with a slew of injury issues. Columbus is the league leader in man-games lost and has six players out.

Deandre Ayton Jersey . - Whether its because of her improved play or the reason for it, Michelle Wie appears as comfortable on and off the golf course as at any time in her career. Devin Booker Jersey . Already owning gold from competition in Vancouver in 2010, Loch posted a combined four-run time of 3:27.526. That included a track-record third run of 51.HAMILTON - Nic Grigsby has quickly become a key part of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats offence.In just three games the five-foot-11, 195-pound Grigsby has emerged as a bona fide rushing threat in a predominately pass-oriented offence. And thats something the Montreal Alouettes must account for Sunday in the East Division final at Tim Hortons Field.Grigsby has 146 yards rushing since joining the Ticats on Oct. 21 after being released by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. But Grigsby had 93 yards and a TD on 19 carries in a 29-15 home win over Montreal on Nov. 8 that clinched Hamilton first in the East Division and home-field advantage for the conference finale.And the swirling winds at Tim Hortons Field combined with the likelihood of rain Sunday could make Grigsby an important contributor for the Ticats, who are looking to secure a second straight Grey Cup berth. Hamilton lost last years title game 43-25 to the hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders.The running game in the playoffs is very important, Grigsby said. You just cant throw the ball all four quarters.Youve got to establish the run to win the game. Youve got to establish that presence, move the ball, move the chains and hold the ball.Hamilton was ranked sixth overall in rushing (91.2 yards per game) despite posting the second-fewest carries (304). By comparison, the Ticats attempted 622 passes, second only to the Toronto Argonauts (681).A balanced offence is much more challenging to defend than one thats one-dimensional. But when the weather turns cold and windy — and impacts the passing game — being able to run effectively becomes crucial.The more versatile you can be, especially this time of year, the better, said Ticats head coach/GM Kent Austin. If you have multi-facets to your offence that they have to defend, its not just the production but its also the adjustments that have to be made that may buy you time with respect to staying ahead in the gameplan and playcalling.The run game was certainly important for Montreal in its 50-17 East Division semifinal win over the B.C. Lions last weekend. The Alouettes rushed for over 200 yards and four TDs in the contest.They rely on the run game and getting the ball to their playmakers, Austin said. We understand weve got to be stout against the run.Hamiltons defence has been tough to run against all season, allowing a league-low 76.8 yards per game. The Ticats also held Montreal to just 17 rushing yards in their last matchup.The key is just to be diisciplined, said Ticats linebacker Simoni Lawrence. Don Buse Jersey. You have to trust everybody around you . . . and just make plays when its time to make plays.Last weekend, I thought Montreal did a great job making plays. B.C. was caught off guard a little bit, they werent where they were supposed to be and with Montreal you have to be very disciplined and do what you have to do.Lawrence said Hamiltons defensive gameplan Sunday will be a simple one.Its to play as hard as we can, take care of our business and understand were a good enough team that if we play our best were going to win, he said. As long as we prepare, there shouldnt be any pressure.Pressure is only for people who dont come prepared and I feel we do a great job of preparing for games.And after roughly a month in Hamiltons offence, Grigsby says hes feeling more comfortable these days.Theres less pressure than jumping in right away with all the expectations, he said. It loosens you up now that you get the feel of your offensive linemen up front and the game slows down a little bit.It relaxes you and lets you just play.Grigsby said establishing the run creates two advantages for an offence: It keeps a defence on its heels while setting up other elements of the offensive gameplan.It opens a lot up because the defence must pick its poison, Grigsby said. It must come down in the box or sit back and defend against the pass because we have great players on that side with Speedy (Brandon Banks), Sink (Terrell Sinkfield), Bakari (Bakari Grant), Task (Luke Tasker) and Fantuz (Andy Fantuz).We have many guys who can open stuff up.However, Grigsby said it all starts with quarterback Zach Collaros and Hamiltons offensive line.Zach is very mobile so that takes a lot of pressure off us that he makes plays on his own, he said. Our offensive line is also starting to come together right now, they know whats at stake, theyre hungry up there and its good to have that.But Montreal held B.C. to just 102 yards passing with two interceptions last weekend. Defensive back Jerald Brown had one of the picks and a 104-yard fumble return for a TD.Montreals defence will be physical so you have to strap up every play and be ready to go, Grigsby said. If youre not, theyre going to hit you in the mouth.Of course were going to take the positives (from Nov. 8 win) but well also take the negatives and evaluate them and see what we have to do to get better . . . we must execute no matter what.
