with friend Ko.I think its definitely going to be really fun | Forum

What happened last night that you need to know about? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best performances. Cheap Colorado Rockies Jerseys . This is where we say, Morning, Joe.The NHLs Cubs?: Lets start with baseball. Yes, Major League Baseball. The Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians are even at a game each in the World Series. Theo Epstein, who is the Cubs president of baseball operations, helped the Boston Red Sox win two World Series titles, in 2004 and 2007. Now, hes given the Cubs a chance to win a championship for the first time since 1908. Whats this got to do with the NHL? Edmonton Oilers president of hockey operations and general manager Peter Chiarelli helped orchestrate a Stanley Cup championship for the Boston Bruins in 2011 and a return trip to the finals in 2013. Can he do the same for the Oilers? They havent won a Stanley Cup since 1990 and there have been some miserable seasons ever since. After losing in the Stanley Cup finals in 2006 to the Carolina Hurricanes, the Oilers have missed the playoffs every season since. Its still early, but the Oilers are off to a flying start. Led by 19-year-old captain and 2015 No. 1 overall pick Connor McDavid, the Oilers are 6-1-0 after beating the Washington Capitals 4-1 Wednesday night at Rogers Place. McDavid had two assists to take the NHL scoring lead with 11 points. Goalie Cam Talbot had another strong game and finished with 34 saves. The addition of veteran forward and Stanley Cup winner Milan Lucic has helped the Oilers on and off the ice. And the teams young stars are finally playing with experience. This could be an interesting season in Edmonton. (And Chicago.)Vesey continues to roll: Looks like rookie Jimmy Vesey made the right decision signing with the New York Rangers. The 23-year-old former college free agent scored one goal and added an assist in the Rangers 5-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. He has four goals and one assist in his last five games and hes tied for the team lead in goals. Coach Alain Vigneault has put Vesey in a position to be successful in every situation and hes quickly gaining confidence. Vigneault said at the start of the season that talent has no age and the coach is right. Vesey has the ability to be successful in the NHL and he will help the Rangers win. Sure, he will experience the ebbs and flows as any rookie in the NHL, but it wont be long before his consistent play translates into more wins in New York.Habitually good starts: Before you get excited about the 6-0-1 start for the Montreal Canadiens, just remember how the team began 2015-16 -- and how it ended. The Canadiens started 9-0-0 last season and appeared to be strong Stanley Cup contenders with Carey Price in net. Then, in November, the world-class goalie suffered a season-ending knee injury and the Canadiens spiraled out of control, finishing sixth in the Atlantic Division and missing the playoffs. This season, the Canadiens are the only NHL team without a regulation loss. This time, however, Price isnt the only goalie who is having an impact for the Habs. On July 1, the Canadiens signed veteran goalie Al Montoya to serve as Prices backup, an important decision thats already paying dividends. On Wednesday, Montoya made 26 saves to help Montreal to a 3-2 win over the New York Islanders at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Montoya is 3-0-1 and his continued strong play will allow Price, who has won his three starts this season, an opportunity to lessen his workload and more of a chance to stay healthy this season. If thats the case, the Canadiens can finish near the top of the division standings and return to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Cheap MLB Jerseys . The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it. Cheap Rockies Jerseys China .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does. http://www.cheaprockiesjerseys.com/ . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. NAPLES, Fla. -- Lydia Ko shot a tournament-record 10-under 62 on Friday to take a three-stroke lead in the CME Group Tour Championship, putting the top-ranked New Zealander in position to win the player of the year award with a victory Sunday.Ko birdied four of the first six holes and had seven birdies and a bogey on the back nine to get to 12-under 132 in the season finale. Ryann OToole (67) and So Yeon Ryu (68) were tied for second, and Sei Young Kim (68) and Beatriz Recari (68) followed at 8 under.Going into today definitely my goal wasnt the 62, said Ko, the 2014 winner at Tiburon Golf Club. The first three holes made great birdies. I was going in with really good momentum, and I was able to carry that for pretty much the rest of my round. I think I was putting good, so if I was within a distance that I felt comfortable I felt like, Hey, I could hole this. Ko needs a victory to top Ariya Jutanugarn in the player of the year race, and also would take the season points title and $1 million bonus with a win. The points in the CME Globe standings were reset for the finale, so Ko, Jutanugarn and Brooke Henderson all control their destinies.I think the big key mindset for me is that Ive been not really thinking about everything that could happen, Ko said. For me to win player of the year I know I need to win this championship. A lot of things come with that. So to me, its more important to finish off my season strong. I think that way I dont feel more pressure about everything thats going on.Ko is fighting Jutanugarn for the money title and In Gee Chun for the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average. Jutanugarn, the tour victory leader with five, was tied for 19th at 4 under after a 68.I started to make some putts, Jutanugarn said. Today was [a] pretty good day for me.Chun (69) was tied for sixth at 7 under, and Henderson (72) was tied for 38th at even par.The 62 matched Kos lowest score of the season, shot in the second round of her Walmart NW Arkansas vicctory in June. Cheap Rockies Jerseys Authentic. She has four victories this year.Going into today, I just wanted to focus on my game, Ko said. I knew I had a great pairing Eun Hee (Ji) and Mi Hyang (Lee). Mi Hyang said, Hey, whenever you play with us you seem to play well. Maybe its the good vibes I got from them. Obviously, its a great round. Its a better position, even better than I could have imagined. Even on the weekend I just got to focus and keep playing great.Ko is using Gary Matthews as her caddie for the second straight event. She fired Jason Hamilton -- now with Ha Na Jang -- and used Sargunan Suntharaj in Malaysia, then teamed with Matthews in Japan.She worked with instructor David Leadbetter on the range late Thursday.It was just more about my iron play, Ko said. I hit my drives really well yesterday. My irons were kind of on and off. Not that many where I was looking for birdies. So, it was just very simple. Just in the takeaway where I wasnt going too out. Its something that you normally do, but especially when youre hitting it good, its more about the basics and the little things.OToole had six birdies and a bogey.I think usually my drives are my strong point, OToole said. Right now Im hitting these little cuts that arent going as far as they could. Definitely could give me shorter irons in. But Im striking my irons well, putting myself in position.Ryu earned a spot in the final group Saturday with friend Ko.I think its definitely going to be really fun competing with [the] world No. 1 player, Ryu said. She is not only [a] great player, shes [a] really great person. ... She loves food like me, so we just talk a lot about food when we are on the golf course.First-round leader Shanshan Feng followed her opening 66 with a 73 to drop into a tie for 16th at 5 under. The Chinese star is coming off consecutive victories in Malaysia and Japan. ' ' '
