NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony is unlikely to play Tuesday night in Brooklyn and could be done for the season, meaning he has potentially played his last game
with the New York Knicks.
Javier Baez Cubs
Jersey . Anthony was getting his sore right shoulder evaluated Tuesday
morning and coach Mike Woodson says the Knicks leading scorer "probably wont"
play against the Nets. The Knicks end their season at home Wednesday against
Toronto. Woodson says his preference is to shut Anthony down unless Anthony asks
to play, and even then Woodson says that "Im going to tell him Im not going to
play him. Thats what Im going to do." Anthony is missing the playoffs for the
first time in his 11-year career. He has said he plans to become a free agent in
July. Woodson also will decide before the game if Amare Stoudemire will play.

http://www.cubsauthorityshop.com/Ryne-Sandberg-Jersey/ . The Major League Soccer teams were scheduled to play on Saturday night, but
their game was rescheduled after Stu Tudor was hit during a pregame storm. The
54-year-old lieutenant in the Columbus Fire Department is in critical condition
in the intensive care unit of the Ohio State Medical Center.Scott Cullen breaks
down the opening night of the NHL playoffs, including Daniel Briere looking good
for the Habs, the supporting cast coming through for the Penguins and the Stars
comeback coming up short in Anaheim. WEISE THE HABS OT HERO A game that went
back-and-forth on the scoreboard, though was controlled territorially by
Montreal, ended in overtime when Dale Weise buried a pass from Daniel Briere at
18:08 of overtime, giving the Canadiens a 5-4 overtime win in Game One. The goal
was Weises fourth in 18 games for the Canadiens since he was acquired from
Vancouver, after scoring 10 goals in 135 career games prior. Lets not go
changing expectations for Dale Weise the goal-scorer, however; hes still not
generating many shots (0.71 per game with Montreal in the regular season), but
when it comes to overtime winners, always take em where you can get em. Perhaps
more interesting for Montreal is that Daniel Briere had a strong game for
Montreal, playing a season-high 18:48 (in a 78-minute game), recording strong
possession stats (65.4% Corsi) and, of course, setting up the winning goal. That
assist gave Briere 110 points in 109 career playoff games, and his acquisition
was touted for his playoff productivity, but it took a lot of patience as he
struggled his way to 25 points in 69 regular-season games. If Briere can be a
quality contributor in the playoffs, that will add a new dimension to the
Canadiens attack. The game featured shoddy defensive play both ways, with
Montreal outshooting Tampa Bay 44-25 (67-47 5-on-5 attempts), an unusual
development considering that Tampa Bay had decidedly better possession numbers
during the regular season. The line doing the most damage, in terms of
controlling play, was the number one unit of Max Pacioretty, David Desharnais
and Thomas Vanek and they did it while matched most frequently against Tampa
Bays top line of Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson, with Victor Hedman and
Sami Salo on defence. Desharnais was 3-for-17 (17.6%) on face-offs. Tampas top
line took a hit early in the third period when LW Ondrej Palat left the game
with an upper-body injury. Palat was hit hard by Columbus D Jack Johnson Friday,
and was forced to leave the game, so hes hurting. If Palat isnt ready for Game
Two, Killorn should continue in that spot, while a veteran like Tom Pyatt might
make sense as an addition lower on the depth chart. There had been some talk,
prior to the playoffs, that Lightning RW Steven Stamkos hadnt been in top form
as he had missed nearly four months with a broken tibia, but he played a
season-high 27:18 in Game One, scoring a pair of goals. Killorn, the second-year
forward out of Harvard, had a goal and an assist for the Lightning. Montreals
multi-point efforts came from unusual sources. C Lars Eller had a goal and an
assist; he finished the regular season with three points in the last two games,
but had a horrible run of three points in the 33 games before that, so if the
Habs are going to get offence from him now, thats a bonus. D Alexei Emelin
recorded a pair of assists, while he and Andrei Markov spent most of their night
matched up against Stamkos and Johnson. Emelin previously had three multi-point
games in 164 career games. That Montreal put five past Lightning G
Anders Lindback isnt a huge surprise, but it was slightly more concerning that
Canadiens G Carey Price surrendered four goals on 25 shots. They werent all
Prices fault, to be sure, but a goaltender in the midst of a big playoff game
might stop at least one that managed to get by Price in Game One. The good news
for Montreal is that they earned a series-opening win without needing Price to
carry them. PENS GET IT DONE Penguins C Brandon Sutter scored the game-winner in
the third period, and Pittsburgh escaped with a 4-3 win over Columbus in Game
One. While the game wasnt Pittsburghs best, they could take some positives
because on a night that Sidney Crosby was held to one assist, and a minus-2
rating, the Penguins got ccontributions from the supporting cast.

Beau Bennett and D Matt Niskanen each had a goal and an assist while C
Evgeni Malkin had two assists as did defencemen Paul Martin. The Blue Jackets
can also take some positives, in that they were competitive on the road against
the Penguins and the game was winnable if G Sergei Bobrovsky (28 saves on 32
shots) had been at his best. In their attempt to neutralize Crosby, the Blue
Jackets kept Brandon Dubinsky matched up on No. 87 as often as possible.
Dubinsky had a game-high nine hits, a highlight-reel assist and led Blue Jackets
forwards with 20:29 time on ice. The Crosby line also shuffled during the game,
with Brian Gibbons replacing Bennett on right wing. Given the number of guys
that have rolled through that spot since Pascal Dupuis was injured this year, it
should come as no surprise that the revolving door continues. Columbus D
Jack Johnson contributed a goal and an assist. For all the criticism lobbed at
Johnson, and he and partner Fedor Tyutin didnt fare well in the possession game
in Game One, Johnson now has 14 points in 13 career playoff games. Whats
troubling for Columbus, even if they were competitive with the Penguins, is that
they lost a game in which they limited Crosbys contribution and it was the
Penguins supporting cast that came through. If a team is going to pull off an
upset, it would help matters to win in the games that they manage to be
reasonably effective against Crosby. FIRST QUACK After racing out to a 4-0 lead
by the midway point of the game, the Anaheim Ducks held on for a 4-3 win against
the Dallas Stars in Game One. The rally for the Stars started with a
second-period 5-on-3 power play goal and then Tyler Seguins third-period goal
made for an interesting finish, but it wasnt enough, and despite a situation in
which score-effects could have easily led to Dallas getting more shots in the
third period, the Ducks outshot Dallas 13-8 in the final frame. Anaheim had
contributions throughout the lineup, but the line of Teemu Selanne,
Mathieu Perreault and Patrick Maroon was ridicuously dominant in terms of puck
possession. Perreault was on for 13 shot attempts for and one against in 5-on-5
play. The most effective Ducks line, in terms of scoring, was their No. 1 line
of Ryan Getzlaf, Matt Beleskey and Corey Perry. Both Getzlaf and Beleskey had a
goal and an assist, and both left the game with injuries. Beleskey suffered a
lower-body injury and didnt play after the midpoint of the third period, then
Getzlaf took a Tyler Seguin slapshot in the mouth in the final minute. Early
indications on Getzlaf are that he should be okay to play, but if Beleskey
happens to be out, there will be an opportunity for someone -- perhaps
Kyle Palmieri, who scored the first goal in Game One -- to move up the depth
chart. The Stars top line of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Valeri Nichushkin was
effective in the possession game and spent the night matched against Getzlafs
line in a head-to-head situation. At the other end of the spectrum, Stars
veterans Ray Whitney, Shawn Horcoff and Erik Cole struggled, as did defencemen
Sergei Gonchar, who took a couple of penalties in limited (11:28) ice time, and
Aaron Rome. If the Stars can get D Brenden Dillon back from a lower body injury
soon, Rome or Gonchar could easily be bumped from the lineup. Up front,
Nichushkin was replaced, for a few shifts, by RW Colton Sceviour, who finished
the game with a goal and an assist to lead the Stars. While coming up short on a
comeback attempt doesnt do the Stars all that much good, they were more
competitive than the score showed early, and a close finish has to be preferable
to getting blown out in Game One -- that was looking entirely possible at the
midway point. Scott Cullen can be reached at
