Putting behind their disappointing opening match loss against Germany, India
rallied from a goal deficit to register a 2-1 win over Ireland in their second
game of the six-nations invitational hockey tournament in Valencia on Tuesday.
Brent Burns Jersey .While both the teams
started cautiously, playing the ball on the flanks and using the width to
dictate play, India sat deeper in their zone and allowed Ireland to hold the
ball, hoping to score via counters.Ireland took an early lead in the fourth
minute through Kyle Goods strike. India had to wait until the 19th minute to
earn their first penalty corner of the game.Three minutes later, Rupinder Pal
Singhs initial flick was stopped by Ireland goalkeeper David Harte, but
Talwinder Singh, lurking inside the circle, pounced on the rebound and slotted
the ball into goal to level the scores in the 22nd minute.Indias attacking
intent and skill was on full display after the goal, but Ireland held on to go
into the break on level terms.It wasnt to last for long though, as India took
the lead within minutes of the third quarter when captain Sardar Singh scored in
the 32nd minute with a fine deflection. The goal was beautifully set up by VR
Raghunath, Birender Lakra and Surender Kumar.India had several chances in the
second half but Rupinder followed by Raghunath were denied from penalty
corners.India played the final quarter strongly, with an eye on not conceding a
goal as they looked to launch counters to finish the game.Speaking after the
game Indias chief coach Roelant Oltmans said, We started off slow today, much
like yesterday, but quickly came back and found our rhythm. The good thing is we
played strongly once we took the lead and had several chances to secure the
game, an area we need to work on.
Jamie Benn Jersey . Instead of dwelling on
the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It
worked.
Jean Beliveau Jersey . Now, correct me if Im
wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good
goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the
ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this
overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these,
but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller
puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a
Montreal goal.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Adam Krikorian leaned over for a moment, trying desperately to
keep his emotions in check. U.S. womens water polo captain Maggie Steffens then
walked up, put her hand on his back and offered a consoling smile.Steffens and
company were right behind their grieving coach, all day long.Krikorian returned
to the pool deck Tuesday for his first game since his brothers sudden death last
week, and the U.S. made life easy on him with a dominant 11-4 victory over
Spain.Steffens, Courtney Mathewson and Kiley Neushul scored two goals apiece,
and Ashleigh Johnson had 11 saves while becoming the first black woman to play
water polo for the United States in the Olympics.The victory came on the
four-year anniversary of one of the biggest moments of Krikorians coaching
career, an 8-5 win for the United States against Spain in the gold-medal match
in London. But that joy seemed like a long time ago as Krikorian choked back
tears while describing his unexpected trip home to be with his family.Leaving
the village was one of the hardest things to do, because you leave your team and
your family here, he said. Arriving back at home was probably the hardest thing
to do, just to see the family for the first time, and then leaving again, home,
where your family is.Blake Krikorian, a Silicon Valley businessman and the
co-founder of pioneering video streaming device Slingbox, died Wednesday at 48.
San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault told the San Francisco Chronicle that
Krikorian had gone paddle boarding in the San Francisco Bay Area and was found
lying next to his car in the parking lot. It appears he died of natural
causes.Adam Krikorian met with his team before practice on Thursday morning, and
then left for California. He returned in time for practice on Monday morninng.
Mark Messier Jersey. .When he walked on the
pool deck we were practicing and the minute we saw, like, the top of his head we
all just started cheering and waving to him and we were just really excited to
have him back, Steffens said. We didnt miss a beat with him gone, but its always
nice to know familys all together and we have our family together now and were
ready to play.Krikorian, a former coach and player at UCLA, grew more emotional
when asked about the support of his players. The London gold was the first-ever
for U.S. womens water polo, and the tight-knit team is favored to win again in
Rio de Janeiro.Their smiles and their love for each other and being here and
experiencing it has lifted me up, he said.The United States never trailed
against Spain, with Neushul scoring the first two goals and Johnson taking over
from there in a commanding performance in her Olympic debut. The Princeton
goaltender said she was really nervous before the game, but it was hard to
tell.I felt good with the defense in front of me, she said. I felt like everyone
was really stepping up their game and playing how we wanted to play and set the
tone for the tournament.This is only the fifth Olympics for womens water polo,
but the significance of breaking the color barrier for the U.S. team was not
lost on Johnson.I dont really think about it a lot, but it feels great to be an
example for other black people to try the sport and pursue higher levels of the
sport, she said.Also Tuesday on the first day for womens water polo, Hungary
edged China 13-11, Italy beat Brazil 9-3 and Australia rolled to a 14-4 victory
over Russia. It was Brazils Olympic debut in the sport.
