ABBOTSFORD, B. http://www.footballbengalsnflstore.com/Youth-Brandon-Tate-Elite-Jersey/ .C. -- An NHL-calibre shot and an NHL veteran proved too much for the Abbotsford Heat. Mark Mancaris second-period goal turned out to be the winner as the Chicago Wolves defeated the Abbotsford Heat 3-2 in American Hockey League action. Mancari scored on a hard wrist shot that whistled past the glove of goaltender Danny Taylor to give his team a 3-0 lead. Mancari also assisted on two first-period goals by Steve Reinprecht, a veteran of 663 NHL games. "You put certain guys like Mancari in a position like that, the league stats tell you and history tells you that hes going to bury more than hes going to miss," Abbotsford head coach Troy Ward said of Chicagos leading goal scorer. "That was an NHL shot. I dont blame (Taylor) on that one." Ward felt that Chicagos experience and skill was better than his clubs on this night. "Our moments of truth were not as moments of truth as theirs were," Ward said. "Theyve just got some more polished players than we do at this particular juncture." Anton Rodin also had two assists for Chicago (22-16-4). Matt Climie made 33 saves in the win and also recorded his eighth career AHL assist. Ben Walter and Carter Bancks replied for Abbotsford. Danny Taylor stopped 29 pucks in the losing effort for the Heat (25-15-3). "It was tough to take a 3-0 deficit, but a fourth goal would have killed us," said Abbotsford forward Guillaume Desbiens. "He kept us in and thats what good goalies do." Chicago, which snapped a four-game losing streak, was making its first trip to Abbotsford since becoming the Vancouver Canucks top affiliate. Since Abbotsford is a mere hours drive from Vancouver it has supplanted the rivalry the Heat had last season with the Manitoba Moose. Desbiens was both a former Chicago Wolf, as well as a member of the Moose last season. "Its disappointing losing to them," said Desbiens. "But they played better than us." The game definitely had the feeling of an intense rivalry. "There were more people in the building," said Desbiens of the above-average crowd of 5,000. "Its the Canucks farm team. Theres more emotion involved. It was the same when I was playing for Manitoba coming to play here. There were always a couple fights, big hits and nice plays." The Wolves improved to 2-1-1 in the season series, with the two teams squaring off again Wednesday night. The Wolves drew first blood at 8:53. Mancari fed the puck to Rodin in the slot, but instead of trying to split the defence the Swede dropped the puck to Reinprecht who slid it under Taylor for his fifth of the year. Though Chicago carried the play through the first period it was Abbotsford that had the best scoring chance when Robby Dee one-timed a centring feed but was stymied by Climie. Just after killing a penalty the Wolves doubled their lead. Mancari took a pass from Rodin and slid the puck towards the crease where Reinprecht redirected it for his second of the period at 18:13. "I was just happy to contribute, really," Reinprecht said. "Weve been on a bit of a skid lately so we wanted to get a good start and we did." At 4:06 of the second period Chicago carried on where they left off. Tim Miller crossed the blue-line and dropped to Mancari, who fired a laser to corner on Taylor, giving him a team-high 17 goals on the year. "Some nights your line clicks and some nights other lines click," said Mancari. "Tonight it was our turn and Im glad we could contribute like we did." Walter broke Climies shutout bid at 13:23 of the third at the tail end of a power play. Krys Kolanos point shot missed wide but it ricocheted out to Walter who had an open cage to pot his seventh of the season. The Heat had not had a power play goal in six games so the goal carried more weight than just sparking a comeback. "Weve been struggling on the power play a bit and maybe that goal that Walter scored got us going," Desbiens said. "We had a lot of good chances on there. Their goalie played really well." Bancks made it a one-goal game when he intercepted a clearing attempt in the slot and wristed the puck over the shoulder of Climie at 15:23. Bancks now has goals in consecutive games after a 21-games drought. Despite numerous scoring chances, including a power play in the final two minutes, the Heat could not get the tying goal past Climie. "My mindset was, dont let them get the third one," Climie said.http://www.footballbengalsnflstore.com/Youth-Ryan-Hewitt-Elite-Jersey/ . A flu bug couldnt stop him, and neither could the Bucks. Irving made four free throws in the final 21.5 seconds of overtime and finished with 39 points despite being sick, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 114-111 win over short-handed Milwaukee on Friday night. http://www.footballbengalsnflstore.com/Youth-Tyler-Eifert-Elite-Jersey/ . -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are sticking with quarterback Chad Henne through the bye week. PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Martin Kaymer never lost sight of opportunity even amid so much evidence of trouble in the closing stretch Sunday at The Players Championship. A bad chip led to double bogey. A bad decision cost him a chance at birdie. With his lead suddenly down to one shot, he watched his ball soar against the grey sky toward the scariest island in golf and figured it would be fine. What followed was a bounce sideways instead of forward, mystifying spin that nearly sent his ball over the edge and into the drink, a chip with his feet pressed near the wooden frame of the island and a 30-foot par putt that Kaymer chalked up to instinct and luck. "It was a very strange way to make 3," he said. But it was enough to carry the 29-year-old German to a one-shot victory over Jim Furyk in a final round filled with stress, emotion and a large dose of satisfaction. Kaymer got up-and-down with his putter from short of the 18th green for one last par, giving him a 1-under 71 and his first victory in nearly 18 months. The only time he nearly lost his composure was when talking about his mother, Rina, who died of cancer six years. He has a sunflower, her favourite flower, on his golf bag. His brother, Phillip, sent him a text that he described only as a "very emotional." "To win on Mothers Day ... we show our parents way too little," he said. "We always need some occasions to show them, which is what you realize when theyre not there anymore. So to win on those days ... it adds a little bit of a nice thing to the whole week. "I think about her every day. I dont need a Mothers Day." Furyk closed with a 66, having to wait out a 90-minute rain delay to make a 3-foot par putt. It looked as though it might be enough to force a playoff, or even win outright when Kaymer started to struggle. Just as he did last week at Quail Hollow, Furyk could only watch on TV from the locker room and settle for second place. "I did what I could," Furyk said. "I left it all on the golf course, and I hung it all out there today and every cliche you can think of. I played hard today." Sergio Garcia (70) finished alone in third, though he never got within two shots of the lead at any point. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., finished in a tie for sixth. That wasnt the case with 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, who was tied with Kaymer going into the final round. He madee his first bogey of the tournament on the fifth hole, and four more bogeys followed in his round of 74. http://www.footballbengalsnflstore.com/Youth-Andy-Dalton-Elite-Jersey/. He tied for fourth. "Im stinging right now," Spieth said, a runner-up at the Masters. "Its not fun being that close and having opportunities and being in the lead on Sunday and not pulling it off." The typical stress that Sawgrass brings on Sunday was contained to the final hour, and it was almost more than Kaymer could take. He was sailing along until the lightning flashes and rain forced the rain delay. He had a three-shot lead with five holes left and was a different player when the round resumed. He made double bogey from an aggressive play behind a pine tree on the 15th. He nervously chose putter from a collection area on the par-5 16th that turned a simple chance at birdie into a par. Nothing could top the 17th hole, the most exciting on the Stadium Course. When his chip shot stopped just inside 30 feet from the hole, and bogey looked certain, Kaymer figured he still had one more hole. He couldnt see the line in the approaching darkness, though he remembered it from practice rounds. When it dropped, he walked to the side and slammed his clenched fist in celebration, rare emotion for the German. "Making a putt like this is more than big," he said. "I think I will realize it the next few days." Kaymer finished at 13-under 275 and joined an elite group by winning the biggest event on golfs strongest tour. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott are the only other players to win a major, a World Golf Championship and The Players Championship. For Spieth, it was his second big tournament in the final group. Tied for the lead through seven holes, he dropped shots to Kaymer on each of the next four holes -- two bogeys by Spieth, two birdies by Kaymer. Kaymer had just over 3 feet left for par on the 18th, and it made him think of his winning putt to beat Steve Stricker and ensure that Europe kept the Ryder Cup at Medinah two years ago. The celebration was different. This was for him, and a long journey back from when he won the 2010 PGA Championship, reached No. 1 in the world six months later, and then set out to improve his swing to avoid being a one-dimensional player. "When I was standing over the putt, I just thought, It would be really nice to make that putt now, would be a very nice way to finish," he said.
