CALGARY, Alberta -- Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau both signed monster contracts in the offseason with the expectation they would lead the Calgary Flames to a prosperous future. Adidas Deerupt Baratas .The linemates got off to a slow start and right away tongues started to wag in Calgary after three losses.But what happened to end the fourth game brought hope to Flames fans and those holding the purse strings that things are turning for the better. Gaudreau set up Monahan with the winning goal in a 4-3 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.It was Monahans second goal of the season to go with no assists. Gaudreau, who finished in the top 10 in league scoring in 2015-16, has yet to score but has two assists. Hardly a blazing start for two players who will make in excess of $6 million each this winter.Hopefully, its the beginning of them getting their game going again, first-year head coach Glen Gulutzan said.I know both young guys have been putting pressure on themselves and I can see it. It just takes one of those things to turn it when youre the quality of player of both of those gentlemen. We underestimate confidence and that gives you a little confidence.The Flames host the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in what almost became a battle of winless teams. The Hurricanes started the season 0-1-2 and arrive in Calgary after dropping a second straight overtime decision on their four-game western Canada swing on Tuesday with a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.The big story in Calgary during the summer was the restricted free agency of both Monahan and Gaudreau, who completed entry-level contracts.Gaudreau and the Flames struggled to come to terms and the Salem, N.J., native didnt sign until a day before the regular season began. He got a six-year deal for $40.5 million. Monahan agreed to a seven-year, $44.625 million contract in August.The question to be answered now: Was Monahans game-winner the ice-breaker for the Flames two stars?I think so, Monahan said. When you win it brings confidence. As a group, its home ice and the way that we battled back and found a way to win is big for our team.It brought Gulutzan, who was hired to replace fired Bob Hartley in June, his first NHL win as a head coach. But he cared more about his stars getting going than his accomplishment.Everybody needed that goal and when I say everybody, probably the fans, the coaches and Mony himself, Gulutzan said.I was more excited for the guys. You get to be around your team for a month here and weve got a great group and theyre trying. Theyre really putting it out there. Theyre squeezing a little bit. To get that off them, I think, will move us forward. So we needed it and they needed it.Carolina comes into Thursday feeling no such optimism after falling behind 3-0 on Tuesday in Edmonton and losing 3-2 for their third straight one-goal loss.You dont want top start a losing streak and youve got to put an end to it, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters told the Raleigh News & Observer. Youve got to put the brakes on that and thats what we have to do Thursday in Calgary.One positive for Carolina has been the play of well-traveled veteran right winger Lee Stempniak, who leads the Hurricanes in the early going with five points. He scored twice within 56 seconds in the third period to make it a one-goal game in Edmonton, but the rally ended there.The Hurricanes signed the 33-year-old in the offseason for two years, making Carolina the 10th stop in his 12-year career.Lee Stempniaks an underrated guy, Peters said. Hes got a heavy stick, hes strong on the puck. Hes a very intelligent player. Adidas NMD R1 Mujer Baratas .

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The NCAA has accepted?Missouris?self-imposed sanctions over infractions involving its mens basketball program but it tacked on a year of probation though August of next year.The NCAA infractions committee panel on Tuesday said roughly $11,400 in improper inducements and benefits was given to players and a recruit by two boosters. The findings come nearly seven months after Missouri admitted NCAA violations dating to 2011.In January, the school hoped to blunt NCAA punishment by announcing it was vacating its 23 wins from 2013-14, banning itself from the postseason last season and stripping itself of one scholarship last season and a second scholarship no later than 2017-18.The school, while agreeing to pay a $5,000 fine, also permanently banned one unidentified donor who the NCAA said provided impermissible benefits to three players and one recruit in 2013-14. The benefits included compensation for work not done at a business through a summer intern program, along with housing, $520 cash, local transportation, iPads, meals and use of a local gym.The NCAA concluded that a second booster also provided impermissible benefits to 11 mens basketball players and three members of a players family. Missouri has said those benefits included reduced rates at a hotel along with meals and a boat ride, and a student manager also provided transportation for multiple players to the hotel from the campus.The Missouri systems interim chancellor, Hank Foley, and basketball coach Kim Anderson welcomed Tuesdays announcement as a turning point for the program after roughly two years of turmoil.As responsible members of the (Southeastern Conference) and the NCAA, we chose to self-report potential violations of bylaws and self-impose certain sanctions, Foley said in a statement. Tuesdays announcement is a clear indication this was a wise decision by the university and allows us to put these issues behind us as we continue to rebuild a top-notch basketball program.Through cooperationn between NCAA personnel, the University of Missouri and our Mizzou athletics staff, we are now able to draw this process to a close, added Anderson, who is 19-44 in his first two seasons in Columbia. Adidas NMD R1 Hombre Rebajas. It has been my desire to move our program forward since learning of what had taken place.Missouri went 23-12 in 2013-14 -- Frank Haiths final season as coach before he left from Tulsa, not long after the school received a verbal notice of inquiry from the NCAA in April 2014, when Missouri hired Anderson. At that time, Anderson said he wasnt aware of the investigation.Haith, the former coach at Miami, was suspended for five games by the NCAA at the start of the 2013-14 season for inadequately monitoring former assistants interactions with a disgraced Miami booster and then trying to cover up a five-figure hush money payment to keep potential violations hidden.The investigation found that Haith and Miami assistant coach Jake Morton paid Nevin Shapiro $10,000 after he threatened to expose previous improper contact with high school recruits and amateur coaches.Haiths Kansas City attorney, Scott Tompsett, said Haith cooperated fully with the NCAAs investigation and was not named in or held responsible for any of the violations.As the NCAA Infractions Report makes clear, violations happened while Coach Haith was at Mizzou and they continued after Coach Anderson became the head coach, Tompsett wrote in an email to The Associated Press. The fact of the matter is that this is not a Frank Haith issue or a Kim Anderson issue; its an issue of Mizzou as an institution not adequately monitoring the summer employment arrangement. Thats what the NCAA found and Mizzou agreed.Haith, Tompsett added, wishes the best to the University of Missouri and its mens basketball program.A message left Tuesday with Haith at his Tulsa office was not immediately returned.
