PHILADELPHIA -- Claude Giroux scored the tying and winning goals in the final minutes of the third period, rallying the Philadelphia Flyers past the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 on Thursday night. Nike Air Max 90 All Black Womens . Giroux scored two of the Flyers five third-period goals as Philadelphia stormed back from a 3-0 hole. Girouxs 100th NHL goal was perhaps his most amazing, a backhanded and blind shot that beat Curtis McElhinney up high with 1:39 left. The Flyers captain had tied it with 4:39 left. Jakub Voracek, Braydon Coburn, Erik Gustafsson also scored goals for the Flyers. Steve Mason got the win in his first game against his former team. The Blue Jackets traded Mason to the Flyers, and his strong season has helped keep Philadelphia afloat through its offensive struggles. Cam Atkinson, Jack Skille, Nick Foligno and Blake Comeau had goals for Columbus. Giroux had no view of the net when he beat McElhinney for the stunning goal. Giroux is starting to come around after a lengthy goal drought to open the season. The Flyers snapped their scoreless skid and started their rally with a pair of quick goals to open the third. Voracek, a former Blue Jackets forward, scored his sixth goal in six games with a wrister from the circle to make it 3-1. Coburn swiped the puck at the blue line, knocked a low liner toward the net, and the puck one-hopped its way past McElhinney to make it 3-2. The Blue Jackets, in control for 40 minutes, called timeout to regroup and stall Philadelphias momentum. It worked -- for a few minutes. Columbus centre Artem Anisimov hustled for a loose puck off a turnover behind the net and kicked it out to Comeau, who was alone for the nice feed and scored his third goal to make it 4-2. Gustafsson scored his second of the season with 4:39 left, and Giroux came streaking down the right side and finished off a rush with 3:45 left for the tying goal, sending the crowd into a frenzy. He was just getting started. The Flyers were heavily booed off the ice at the end of the second period, and the familiar chants of "E-A-G-L-E-S!" echoed throughout the Wells Fargo Center. The fans were unhappy with a sloppy end to the second in which Columbus took a 3-0 lead. With only 7.5 seconds left, Jack Johnson cleared the puck from behind the net, and Foligno was there to knock in his 10th goal. The Flyers recorded only nine shots in the period. Columbus has been hit hard by injuries, but McElhinney made the early lead stand. Atkinson opened the scoring midway through the first with a short-handed goal. Voracek was stripped of the puck at Columbus blue line, setting up a 2-on-1 for Atkinson to bust loose with his 10th goal. The Blue Jackets caught the Flyers off-guard against the boards on a shift change, setting up yet another 2-on-1 break. This time, Skille connected from the circle. Mason had 12 wins and a shutout for the Flyers in his first full season with the franchise. Mason had it all figured out when he went 33-20-7 with 10 shutouts and won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in 2008-09, the only season the Blue Jackets made the playoffs. He posted a goals-against average over 3.00 each of the next three seasons and was out the door upon the emergence of Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky. Notes: Voracek has a point in six straight games. ... The Flyers are 15-8-4 since a 1-7 start. Nike Air Max 90 All White Cheap . -- After losing home-ice advantage on the final day of the regular season, the Montreal Canadiens couldve found satisfaction in splitting the first two games at Tampa Bay Times Forum. Nike Air Max 90 Pink Womens . The teams global ambassador acknowledged the leagues reigning MVP in the crowd and asked the five-time All-Star to consider Toronto as a free agent destination next summer.MALABO, Equatorial Guinea - With Yaya Toure feeling tired and Gervinho suspended, Ivory Coast is still looking to show its best at the African Cup of Nations.The Ivorians have been one of the best teams on the continent for about a decade, but have twice lost in the African Cup final on penalties — to Egypt in 2006 and to Zambia in 2012.This year, the team was put into a difficult group with Cameroon, Mali and Guinea. And in the opening match, the Ivorians were held to a surprising 1-1 by Guinea, with Toure coming off late in the second half.Yaya Toure was a bit tired at the end of the game, so it was better for him to (go) out, Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard said Friday. I expect from him a better second game than the first one he did. This is very important for us. If hes not to improve his level, it will be very difficult for our team.Ivory Coast will next play Mali on Saturday at Malabo Stadium in Group D, while Cameroon will face Guinea in the second match.Toure essentially sat out the teams first two practices in Equatorial Guinea because of fatigue after playing through the holiday season in England with Manchester City. But he was on the field at the start against Guinea in his usual central role.Hes a big competitor, so he will be ready for the second game, said Renard, who led Zambia to the African Cuup title in 2012. http://www.discoveryshoes.uk/nike-air-max-90-best-color/air-max-90-white-and-black.html. .One player who certainly wont be on the field against Mali, or even against Cameroon in the final group match next week, is Gervinho. He was given a two-match suspension after getting a straight red card in the second half against Guinea.Renard dodged questions about how he will cope against Mali without one of his star players up front.We cant replace a player like Gervinho because there is only one Gervinho in Ivory Coast, and maybe in the competition, Renard said. But we have a lot of talent. ... The one who will play to replace Gervinho will do a good game.For Guinea, the draw against one of the tournament favourites brought some positive news to a country deeply affected by the Ebola outbreak.We are not here to send a message or to show anything to anyone, Guinea midfielder Ibrahima Traore said. We are here to play, to qualify for the second round, and to give joy and happiness to the people who are struggling in Guinea.Cameroon is the other favourite to reach the quarterfinals from Group D, but the four-time champion was also held to 1-1 in its opening match, by Mali.Ambroise Oyongo scored in the 84th minute to earn Cameroon a point.You have to respect the fact we only drew, Cameroon coach Volker Finke said, but the second-half performance was not bad at all. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
