Die Nacktbar » series against Colorado

WINNIPEG -- Blake Wheeler shared the joy Wednesday night. "Ive told you guys a million times, I almost get a bigger joy out of seeing other guys score than scoring myself," he said after putting away the winner at 1:42 of overtime to beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-4. Earlier, he set up Andrew Ladds second goal of the night and Eric Tangradis second goal of the season. In all, Wheeler finished the night with his 35th assist and team-leading 24th goal, cementing his position as the Jets scoring leader with 59 points. Evander Kane also scored for Winnipeg. It was a big night for the Jets as well (32-30-9), as they claimed a little more ground in their uphill climb to the playoffs. They still sit two points behind Dallas and four points behind Phoenix, which now holds the eighth and final wild-card berth. For Colorado (44-20-6), the loss let the Chicago Blackhawks move past them and claim sole possession of second spot in the Central Division after a 4-0 win over the St. Louis Blues. Winnipegs playoff hopes remain a longshot, given the teams it will face as it closes out the season, but it was a big lift nonetheless to take the season series against Colorado 3-2. "It was a big win for us, especially for the goals we gave up," said Ladd. "Were not that bad of a team. Weve played some good hockey of late and we havent got the results." As for his own game, it was also a good night with his 20th and 21st goals of the season. "First one, we had good transition out of our end and I got the puck and a little space and got a good shot off. And the second one, Wheels made a great play driving down and I found some open space and put the puck on the net again." Colorado coach Patrick Roy gave Wheeler credit for his patience in holding the puck and waiting for the right moment to score the winner. "Both teams had good chances," said Roy after his second loss in a row. His homecoming to Montreal ended in a 6-3 loss to the Canadiens Tuesday night. "At the end they made a great play. Wheeler I thought made a really good play and scored a nice goal." It was the fourth time out of the five games theyve played this season that the Jets and Avalanche couldnt settle it in regulation time. Ryan OReilly, Gabriel Landeskog, Nick Holden and Cody McLeod scored for Colorado. It also was rookie goaltender Reto Berras first start since he was acquired by Colorado from the Calgary Flames at the trade deadline. Landeskog said Berra deserved credit. "I think he made some huge saves in the third when we really needed it the most," said Landeskog, who scored the tying goal for Colorado at the end of the first period to make it 2-2. "I remember my first game with Colorado, certainly a lot of nerves." It didnt help Winnipegs chances that defenceman Zach Bogosian joined the lengthy scratch list, which already included Dustin Byfuglien and goaltender Ondrej Pavelec, who are listed as day to day. Replacement Paul Postma was grabbing a cup of coffee when he got word he had to play. He responded with two assists, including one on Wheelers overtime goal. "Its not too hard to get pumped up in front of this crowd," he said. The Avalanche had their own no-shows as Paul Stastny was out after playing in Montreal on Tuesday following a four-game absence due to injury. They also lost forward John Mitchell in Montreal. But injuries and tough schedules arent uncommon at this time of year and no one was using them as an excuse. "Every teams playing a tough schedule right now and March and Aprils going to be tough for everybody," said Landeskog. Notes: Despite the disparity in their NHL rankings, the Jets and Avalanche went into Wednesdays game with two wins each in their season series, although Colorado had the only win in regulation time. Even the regulation win was decided by one goal. Authentic Yeezy Outlet .

Alfredo Simon lowered his ERA to 0.86, and the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Friday for their 16th win in their last 17 games at the Friendly Confines.MILWAUKEE - Retiring Commissioner Bud Selig will have a number retired in his honour by the Brewers, the team brought to Milwaukee 44 years ago.Brewers owner Mark Attanasio made the announcement on Friday, saying the retirement of jersey No. 1 would be the first in a series of honours for Selig. A Milwaukee native, Selig bought the Seattle Pilots out of bankruptcy in 1970 and moved them to Milwaukee.This means a great deal to me, Selig said.Selig said of his accomplishments in baseball he was most proud of bringing the Brewers to Milwaukee.People dont understand how almost really unbelievable it was, he said before Milwaukee hosted the Chicago Cubs Friday night. We were passed over in National League expansion, in American League expansion.We thought we had the White Sox bought, he said. In Seattle, (then commissioner) Bowie Kuhn tried to keep them there. I would have tried to do the same thing.The Pilots ended up in bankruptcy court. Selig bought the franchise and moved it to Milwaukee eight days before the 1970 season began with a game against the California Angels at County Stadium.We lost to Andy Messersmith, 12-0, he said. I was walking down feeling pretty good aand beginning to understand that this was going to change.dddddddddddd A man stopped me and said, You wanted a team in the worst way and thats what you got. I knew then that the honeymoon was not going to last very long.The 1970 team finished 65-97 and the Brewers didnt have a winning season until 1978. The team has appeared in just one World Series, losing in a seven-game series to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982, when the Brewers still were in the American League.Selig ran the team until 1992, when he became baseballs acting commissioner.

The team said it would hold a ceremony next year to officially retire the number for Selig.Selig, whose office is in Milwaukee, has visited 21 stadiums during his farewell tour. His final stop will be Saturday at Fenway Park in Boston.This one is particularly sensitive and particularly emotional, Selig said of visiting Miller Park. ' ' '
