AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Darwin Barney Blue Jays Jersey . -- Josh Smith made a 3-pointer as time expired and finished with 20 points to lift the Detroit Pistons to a 99-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night in both teams exhibition finale. J.J. Bareas layup with 3.6 seconds left gave the Timberwolves (4-3) a 98-96 lead but Smith, who got the ball out of a timeout, launched his shot in the final second. It hit the rim and fell in as the horn sounded. Greg Monroe and Will Bynum each added 17 points, rookie Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 13 and Andre Drummond grabbed 20 rebounds for the Pistons (4-4). Kevin Love had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Kevin Martin added 18 points for Minnesota on a night both coaches gave their younger players plenty of playing time. Justin Smoak Blue Jays Jersey . - Hunter Smith scored three goals, with two coming on the power play, to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 4-2 victory over the Sault Ste. David Price Blue Jays Jersey . That is how long it has been since Canadas mens national team were humiliated 8-1 in their final World Cup qualifying match in Honduras.Moments after Edmonton beat the San Jose Sharks to end its lengthy losing streak, coach Dallas Eakins was focused on how the Oilers can build on that much-needed victory in the rematch. Coming off their first win in four weeks, the Oilers conclude a home-and-home set with the Sharks on Tuesday night in San Jose. Edmontons 0-7-4 skid ended Sunday when David Perrons go-ahead goal 10:26 into the third period held up for a 2-1 victory. The win came two days after Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish said the struggling franchise is under scrutiny and that everybody from the players to the front office is under evaluation. The Oilers (7-15-5), who have earned points in four of the last five, also snapped an eight-game home skid. Getting rid of that is huge, said Eakins, the second-year coach whose job appears safe for the moment. Whatever you want to call it, getting the monkey off your back, an elephant, a large gorilla it feels good for everybody. Most importantly, for our players and our fans. Faced with another matchup against the Sharks (14-11-4), surely smarting from being the first team to lose to Edmonton since the Rangers on Nov. 9, Eakins wouldnt let his clubs celebration last long. Were not going to have a parade over this, he told the NHLs official website. We have to get right back to business and play this same team, which is an extremely hard team to play against. Edmonton has dropped five straight on the road, though the last three were decided in overtime. The Oilers, held to two or fewer goals in eight of 10, caught San Jose on the tail end of games on consecutive nights. Joe Carter Blue Jays Jersey. The Sharks 21 shots were their second-fewest of the season. San Jose was probably a tired group and we got them on the second night of a back-to-back, which was fortunate for us and helped us out, said Edmontons Ben Scrivens, who allowed 10 goals in his previous two starts against the Sharks prior to Sunday. But at the end of the day, we executed pretty well. That has to be our expectation now, of how we have to play. The Sharks will be looking for a fourth consecutive home victory overall and against Edmonton. San Joses four-game winning streak ended Sunday, but coach Todd McLellan wont use fatigue as a reason for the setback. If you go there, it begins to sound like were using excuses, he said. Teams play (back-to-back) in the league all the time. I still think that good teams can find ways, and we almost did. (You have to) find ways to win those games. San Joses Patrick Marleau extended his point streak to five games with an assist on Tye McGinns first goal of the season. Marleau has four goals and three assists in his last six versus Edmonton. Perron has two goals with two assists in the last four games. He has a goal in two of his last three against the Sharks. Its likely Antti Niemi will be back in San Joses net after backup Alex Stalock started Sunday. Niemi, who has won his last four starts, is 9-1-1 with a 2.40 goals-against average against Edmonton. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
