CHICAGO -- Kris Versteeg got a big shootout goal against his old team.
Wholesale
Basketball . Brian Elliott finally got his first win with his new
one.Versteeg scored the lone goal in the tiebreaker in the seventh round to give
the Calgary Flames a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night and
just their second victory this season.Versteeg, who won Stanley Cups with the
Blackhawks in 2010 and 2015, faked Corey Crawford, pulled to a stop while
dragging the puck and then fired a wrist shot into a wide-open net.It was
definitely a little nerve-wracking when everyone kept missing, said Versteeg,
who took part in a shootout for the first time since the 2014-15 season. To go
in and score is a nice feeling.Ive probably taken two shots (in the shootout) in
the last three years. It doesnt happen too frequently anymore, so when I do, I
just kind of black out.Elliott made 31 saves through overtime and blocked all
seven in the shootout to win for the first time with Calgary after three losses.
Acquired from St. Louis in June, Elliott had allowed 14 goals in his first three
starts for the Flames.I definitely wanted that one, Elliott said. We havent been
playing like we wanted to and the guys came out and had a heck of an
effort.Elliott was at his best with the game tied at 2 late in the third and in
overtime, when Chicago had a power play and outshot Calgary 6-1. He made two
point-blank saves on Richard Panik in the final three minutes of regulation,
including a toe save from the edge of the crease as time ran out.It was a
rebound right to him in the slot, and I just tried to throw the furniture at it,
Elliott said. Got a piece of it with my skate. It was good but I was on my butt
and swimming to get back up.Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan scored in regulation
for Calgary, which snapped a two-game losing streak.Patrick Kane and Brian
Campbell connected in regulation for Chicago.Campbells goal, his first with the
Blackhawks since rejoining them as a free agent in the offseason, tied it 2-all
at 4:12 of the third. Campbells feed from the right circle, intended for Artem
Anisimov, deflected in off Calgary defenseman T.J. Brodie.Crawford blocked 29
shots through overtime and made several close in saves early to keep it
close.The Blackhawks sputtering penalty killers permitted two power-play goals
in five chances to the Flames, who entered the game having scored just once in
25 opportunities with the man advantage. Chicago has allowed 14 goals in 26
short-handed situations this season and at least one power-play goal in each of
its seven games.It seems like it (penalty-killing) finds a different way each
time, coach Joel Quenneville said.The Flames connected on their first two
power-play chances before the Blackhawks killed the final three.I think we got
more involved as the game progressed as far as having bodies and pucks to the
net, Quenneville said. But not enough initially and it took us a while to get
into that department.Bennett knocked in Calgarys second power-play goal of the
season at 4:51 of the first period. He converted a rebound of Dougie Hamiltons
shot from the right circle after outmuscling Chicago defenders to the loose
puck.Kane tied it at 1 at 1:32 of the second period with a rising shot from the
right circle over Elliotts glove.Monahan converted the Flames second power-play
chance at 6:52 of the second to put Calgary ahead 2-1.Game notes Chicago rookie
D Gustav Forsling suffered an undisclosed injury in the second period and didnt
return. ... Veteran Blackhawks D Michal Rozsival made his season debut after
sitting out Chicagos first six games as a healthy scratch. First-year D Michal
Kempny was a scratch for the first time. ... Chicago rookie F Vincent Hinostroza
was scratched for a third straight game. ... Calgary rookie F Matthew Tkachuk,
son of former NHL standout F Keith Tkachuk, was scratched for the second
straight game.UP NEXT:Flames: play the second of a back-to-back at St. Louis on
Tuesday.Blackhawks: play at New Jersey on Friday.

The Sacramento Kings are set to become the first major professional sports
franchise to accept Bitcoin virtual currency for ticket and merchandise
purchases. From Arnold Palmers dominance to the doomed Tiger-Phil pairing to
Team Europes recent string of titles, we look back at the Ryder Cups rich
history:1963: United States wins 23-9East Lake Golf Club: Arnold Palmer served
as playing captain, in the last time that would happen in a Ryder Cup. This one
was at Bobby Jones home course in Atlanta. Although Jack Nicklaus had won his
third major title earlier in the year, he was not eligible for the Ryder Cup
because of membership rules then in place by the PGA of America. The Americans
didnt lose a match in any of the afternoon sessions. Palmer went 4-2 as a
player, while the team was led by Billy Casper (4-0-1) and Dow Finsterwald
(4-1-1). Tony Lema was also 3-0-2. -- Bob Harig1967: United States wins 23? to
8?Champions Golf Club: Ben Hogan captained the U.S. side for a third time, and
the Americans won easily in Houston. Perhaps the biggest news to come out of the
event was Hogans benching Palmer in the morning matches on the second day
because he was annoyed that Palmer had taken several members of the GB&I
team for a ride on his plane. Palmer, who flew his plane directly over the
course and scared a few of his passengers in the process, was reprimanded by the
Federal Aviation Administration for the stunt. It didnt hurt his golf, though,
as Palmer went 5-0 in his other matches. -- Harig1969: United States 16,
GB&I 16Royal Birkdale Golf Club: The famous Concession at Royal Birkdale in
Southport, England, saw the entire match come down to the 18th hole singles on
Sunday, with both teams at 15? points. The entire match hung in the balance, as
Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin -- Nicklaus had won seven majors to that point,
Jacklin had won The Open earlier that year -- were tied after Jacklin won the
17th hole.When both players reached the green of the 18th hole in regulation, it
came down to putting. Jacklin went first and left his birdie effort
approximately 2 feet from the hole. Nicklaus was closer, with a chance to win it
outright, but ran his past some 4? feet. There was a chance to lose right there,
but Nicklaus made the putt, then picked up Jacklins marker. He later said he
didnt think it was in the spirit of the competition to make the Englishman have
to hole the putt. It was the first time the Ryder Cup ever ended in a tie. --
Harig1973: United States wins 19-13Muirfield: For the first time, the Ryder Cup
went to Scotland, which was somewhat remarkable in that the competition was
confined to Great Britain and Ireland. Jack Burke Jr. got a second crack at the
captaincy after presiding over a rare U.S. defeat in 1957. This was a close
Ryder Cup, as the two sides were tied at 8 after two days. But on the strength
of an 11-5 singles advantage, the U.S. pulled away to an easy victory. Nicklaus
led the Americans with 4? points, with Billy Casper getting 4. -- Harig1979:
United States wins 17-11The Greenbrier: For the first time, continental Europe
joined Great Britain and Ireland to form a European team. It didnt matter much
at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. Even without Tom Watson, who left on the eve
of the matches to be home for the birth of his daughter, and with Europe having
a newcomer who would help change the Ryder Cup in Spains Seve Ballesteros, the
Americans were in control. The format was changed to the current system that
sees eight matches on Friday, eight matches on Saturday and 12 singles on
Sunday. Larry Nelson, playing in his first Ryder Cup, went 5-0, the last
American to sweep all of his matches. -- Harig1981: United States wins
18?-9?Walton Heath Golf Club: It had become a typical sight: the American team
celebrating after winning the Ryder Cup. This time it came at Walton Heath in
Surrey, England, and the outcome was the same as it had been for the past 12
Ryder Cups, with a thrashing of Team Europe. Four players -- Tom Kite, Larry
Nelson, Nicklaus and Lee Trevino -- didnt lose a match all week for U.S. captain
Dave Marr. -- Kevin Maguire1983: Americans win yet again 14?-13?PGA National
Golf Club: Lanny Wadkins and Team USA kept their win streak alive in the
biennial matches, but only by the slightest of margins. The 33-year-old Wadkins
approach shot on the final hole of his singles match against Jose Maria
Canizares stopped a foot from the hole, which gave the American a half-point,
and that was enough to secure a 14? to 13? win. -- Maguire1985: Team Europe
beats U.S. 16?-11?The Belfry: For decades, the European Ryder Cup team couldnt
beat the Americans. That changed in 1985, when captain Tony Jacklin celebrated
the first non-U.S. victory since 1957. Only one player had a losing record for
Team Europe, while seven Americans finished under .500 for the week in Sutton
Coldfield, England.?-- Maguire?1987: Europeans beat Team USA 15-13Muirfield
Village Golf Club: The Ryder Cup matches started in 1927, but not until 60 years
later did Team Europe win on American soil. That victory came with Jacklin,
left, leading the squad as captain and Ballesteros as its top man inside the
ropes. The Spaniard went 4-1-0 in five matches as the Europeans beat Team USA in
Dublin, Ohio. Not only did the Europeans win, but they did so against U.S.
captain Jack Nicklaus on the course the Golden Bear designed and where he held
his yearly PGA Tour event, the Memorial Tournament. -- Maguire1991: United
States wins 14?-13?Kiawah Island Golf Resort: All Bernhard Langer neeeded to do
was make this 6-foot putt, and Europe would retain the Ryder Cup.
China
Basketball Jerseys. The look on his face says it all, as he missed
and halved his match with Hale Irwin. That gave the United States a slim victory
in what became known as The War by the Shore at Kiawah Islands Ocean Course in
South Carolina. -- Maguire1993: Team USA 15, Team Europe 13The Belfry: Led by
captain Tom Watson, the U.S. won this closely contested battle in a match that
came down to singles matches late Sunday afternoon. Davis Love III defeated
Costantino Rocca to parlay a one-point deficit entering the final session into a
clinching victory. That was the last time the American side won a Ryder Cup on
European soil. -- Jason Sobel?1995: Team Europe wins 14?-13?Oak Hill Country
Club: The second Team Europe title on U.S. turf was its first come-from-behind
victory on a Sunday afternoon. Bernard Gallachers team trailed by two points
going into the last session but rallied for a win. Among the singles winners for
Europe were highly ranked Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie, but it was the
least-heralded team member, rookie Philip Walton, who secured the clinching
point against Jay Haas. -- Sobel1999: Team USA takes back title 14?-13?The
Country Club (Brookline, Massachusetts): With his team trailing 10-6 on Saturday
evening, and no team having ever come back from a deficit that large, U.S.
captain Ben Crenshaw wagged his finger to the assembled press corps and
foreshadowed the next day by claiming, Ive got a good feeling about this. His
feeling was proven right Sunday, as the U.S. team put together the greatest
comeback to that point in Ryder Cup history. The most memorable moment was a
45-foot birdie putt by Justin Leonard on the 17th hole, which clinched the
victory when Jose Maria Olazabal missed his putt to halve the hole. --
Sobel2002: Team Europe wins 15?-12?The Belfry: Postponed one year after the 9/11
terrorist attacks, this edition of the Ryder Cup held a somber undertone for
much of the festivities. In the first Ryder Cup that included Tiger Woods (who
went 2-2-1 for the week), it was Phil Mickelsons singles loss against Phillip
Price that swung momentum in the Europeans favor. They won 15?-12?, the teams
largest margin of victory since 1985. -- Sobel2004: Team Europe wins again
18?-9?Oakland Hills Country Club (Bloomfield Township, Michigan): A dozen years
later, were still talking about U.S. captain Hal Suttons ill-fated decision to
pair Woods and Mickelson for two matches on Friday -- matches they would lose.
Momentum never swung toward the U.S. side, as European captain Bernhard Langer
instructed his players to charm the opposing crowd and largely take them out of
play. The 18?-9? differential was the largest for the European side and largest
overall since 1981. -- Sobel2006: Europe 18?, USA 9?The K Club: Europe cruised
to victory in Ireland, claiming all five sessions, but the focus was on captains
pick Darren Clarke,?whose wife, Heather, had died from cancer just two months
before. The reception he got on the first tee and the tears that flowed in
victory stood out for their depth of emotion. There were also two aces, from
Scott Verplank -- the first by an American in the competitions history -- and
Paul Casey. -- Leo Spall2008: USA 16?, Europe 11?Valhalla Golf Club: Anthony
Kims opening 5-and-4 defeat of Sergio Garcia led the way as Paul Azingers side
turned the tables. Team USAs six rookies played their part too, as they made a
Ryder Cup statement and the mood was encapsulated by the celebrations of a great
victory. Kim, Hunter Mahan and Boo Weekley flew down the clubhouse stairs
carrying champagne to meet the crowd. -- Spall2010: Europe 14?, USA 13?Celtic
Manor Resort: The rain that weekend in South East Wales would be hard to forget,
and it pushed the competition into Monday. On the fourth day, Graeme McDowell
went head-to-head with Hunter Mahan in a gladiatorial contest in the last of the
singles matches -- the decider. The Europeans 15-foot birdie on the 16th put his
team 2-up, and on the next hole, it was all over.?-- Spall2012: Europe 14?, USA
13?Medinah Country Club: It started out as the Ballesteros Ryder Cup, with
Europes players wearing the image of the late legend on their sleeves, and it
ended up being remembered as the competitions miracle or meltdown, depending
which side you supported. Europe trailed 10-6 on Saturday night, but Ian
Poulters memorable Saturday afternoon showing in the fourball gave the team
momentum, and the first five matches on Sunday were theirs. If Poulter turned
the tide, Rory McIlroy also made a name for himself -- as the guy who nearly
missed his tee time because he thought he was in a different time zone.?--
Spall2014: Europe 16?, USA 11?Gleneagles: Jamie Donaldson, Sir Alex Ferguson and
Mickelson stole the show here for three different reasons. Europes Donaldson, a
late qualifier for the team, sealed the contest with an awesome wedge approach
shot to within 18 inches of the 15th?hole, and Keegan Bradley conceded. Before
that, Ferguson, then the Manchester United manager, had stolen some of the
limelight with a motivational talk for Paul McGinleys side. Afterward, Mickelson
hit the headlines for his frank views on Tom Watsons captaincy. -- Spall
