ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Ben Street may have bought into his coachs philosophy, but seeing a pair of pucks go in Saturday still took a weight off his shoulders. Heat head coach Troy Ward often preaches that the process -- getting scoring chances -- is more important than results on the scoreboard. But after Abbotsford snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the Rochester Americans in American Hockey League play. "Ive been squeezing the stick a little tighter, for sure," said Street, who leads the AHL in shots on goal. "Its kind of a slippery slope -- when youre shooting that many, youre getting chances, and when theyre not going in everyone says, Its good that youre getting chances. But eventually it wears on you, and it was starting to wear on me a bit. So it was nice a couple of them found the back of the net tonight." He also added an assist on Tyler Ruegseggers second-period goal that proved to be the winner. Ruegsegger was a healthy scratch the past two games but drew back in Saturday onto a scoring line with Street and Paul Byron, who have had chemistry for parts of the season. "Streets so easy to play with -- smart, and does a lot of good things right," said Byron. "Im a passer and hes a shooter, so I think we complement each other." Ward agreed that their line had instant chemistry. "Paulie pushes the pace and Bens a pure shooter," said Ward of Byron and Street. "If Paulie pushes the pace back and gets the pucks to Ben like tonight, hes going to be able to shoot pucks quite a bit. Dynamic defenceman T.J. Brodie, who played up with the Calgary Flames most of last season, had an impact game, only recording one assist but drawing praise after the game from teammates and coach alike. "Thats a high-level skill play, and youve got to give him a lot of credit for that," said Street of the pass that set up his first goal. "It was right in my wheelhouse, and it was easy to skate onto it. I didnt even need to break stride." Ward has also noticed a difference in the play-making ability of Brodie. "Early on here T.J. would hold the puck a really long time and give it to someone and hope it connected," said Ward. "Now its more out of creativity and he moves pucks quicker." Stay-at-home defenceman Joe Callahan had two assists for Abbotsford (17-10-7), while Danny Taylor made 17 saves for the win. David Leggio stopped 28 shots for the Americans. Rochester (17-13-3) struck first at the 6:47 mark of the first. After Taylor turned away shots by Kevin Sundher and T.J. Brennan, Tarnasky batted the rebound out of the air and through the legs of the Heat goalie for his sixth of the season. Rochester had a four-minute power play, compliments of Byrons double minor, but couldnt muster many opportunities. Street tied the game with 30.4 seconds to go in the first. He took that nifty drop pass from Brodie and ripped a hard wrist shot over the blocker of Leggio. "That goal was huge," said Byron. "It definitely changed the momentum in the game, especially late in the period like that. As soon as we got scored on first, it seemed like the energy dropped a little bit. Getting that goal at the end of the period gave us a lot of momentum." Abbotsford took advantage of Luke Adams misfortune at 11:12 while the Rochester forward was without his stick. The Heat cycled the puck around the zone like a power play and after Callahans initial point shot and Streets rebound attempt were stopped, Ruegsegger raced in to bury the loose puck for just his second goal of the season. "Hes a sparkplug for us," said Ward of the University of Denver product. "Hes earned everything hes got here. For a guy like that, to work as hard as you do, and then get rewardeda we felt real good for him. We call him Rudy -- the hockey version of Rudy in my opinion." Street doubled the lead at 3:23 of the third, taking a pass from Byron at the hash marks and quickly sliding the puck under Leggios pad. Taylor wasnt tested often but when called upon he did his part in the win. After a failed Heat power play, Brennan came down on a two-on-one and unleashed a wicked wrist shot that Taylor stretched to snag from the air. With less than two minutes he made a big save off Brian Flynns one-timer in front, keeping his club up by two. With 5:50 to go Sven Baertschi was hooked on a breakaway by Mark Pysyk and was awarded a penalty shot but failed to convert the opportunity, keeping Rochesters hopes alive. Cheap Jerseys From China .

Spiller gladly accepted Fred Jacksons challenge. And this time, the rest of the Bills -- on offence, defence and special teams -- showed up to support Spiller who scored twice and finished with 123 yards rushing to spark a 35-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Buffalos home opener. It was a much better effort than how Buffalo opened the season with a bumbling 48-28 loss to the New York Jets last week. The same cant be said for the Chiefs, who followed up one dud with another a week after opening the season with a 40-24 loss to Atlanta. Spiller picked up where he left off a week earlier, after he had career-best 169 yards rushing in taking over after Jackson sprained his right knee against the Jets. "Its always better to answer the questions when you win," said Spiller, who giggled several times at the podium. "Fred Jackson challenged me today, when he told me to put the team on my back. So when that comes down from the leader in our room, you have to step your game up. I was ready to go today." With Jackson expected to miss another three weeks, Spiller scored on 17- and 5-yard runs to put the Bills ahead 14-0 early in the second quarter, a lead that would balloon to 35-3 late in the third. "C.J.s a stud. That kid can run," centre Eric Wood said. "Weve got plenty of weapons, and the good thing is were going to get Fred back." With 292 yards on 29 carries, Spiller is off to such a hot start that hes averaging 10.1 yards per rush. Thats the highest average by an NFL player with a minimum of 25 carries through the first two games of a season since 1963, when Jim Brown averaged 11.3 yards (34 carries for 394 yards). The Bills defence finally showed signs of its high-priced potential after failing to make a dent last week. Kyle Williams had two of Buffalos five sacks. Mario Williams -- the teams high-prized off-season free agent -- recovered quarterback Matt Cassels fumble, which set up Scott Chandlers 10-yard touchdown catch. And linebacker Nick Barnett had a momentum-turning play late in the first half. Thats when he forced Kansas City running back Peyton Hillis to fumble at the goal line to preserve Buffalos 21-0 lead. "We had a sense of urgency. It was just different from the very beginning," Mario Williams said. "We went out there and put it all on the line. Unfortunately, that didnt happen last week, but we have to build on this and continue." Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick shrugged off last weeks three-interception outing by going 10 of 19 for 178 yards and two touchdowns, including a 49-yarder to Stevie Johnson. And Buffalos special teams contributed: Leodis McKelvin returned a punt 88 yards.dddddddddddd It was a complete reversal for the Bills who turned the ball over four times against the Jets, failed to get any pressure on Mark Sanchez and allowed Jeremy Kerley to return a punt 68 yards for a score. For the Chiefs, it was the same-old sloppiness, for a team thats been outscored 75-41 and is opening a season 0-2 for the sixth time in seven years. "I thought that we would be better, and were not," coach Romeo Crennel said. "So we have to try and figure out what that is. From what Ive seen, if we do what were supposed to do, then we would be better." KCs offence managed just 71 yards on its first five possessions and then coughed up the ball on its sixth, when Hillis fumbled at the goal line. "I messed up and let the team down," Hillis said. "I put the blame on myself." Cassel finished 23 of 42 for 301 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, with much of that production coming in the fourth quarter. Dwayne Bowe scored both touchdowns on 33- and 2-yard catches. The Chiefs defence wasnt much better, even while welcoming back two regulars, linebacker Tamba Hali (NFL suspension) and cornerback Brandon Flowers (foot injury). The Chiefs were so thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the ball in the first half that Spillers 139 yards from scrimmage nearly matched Kansas Citys 148 yards net offence. The Bills had additional incentive to win the game in paying tribute to Marcell Dareus. The second-year defensive tackle played after travelling to his native Alabama to mourn the shooting death of his younger brother. "Hes going through a rough time, but he felt responsibilities here," Kyle Williams said. "He always picks our team up and were glad that hes back." Despite being bothered by a shoulder injury, Dareus had a sack, two tackles, including one for a loss. "The team rallied up around me. This is my release from whatever is going on in the outside world," Dareus said. "I focused in on the football field and took everything else out of my head." Notes: Spiller became the fourth Bills player to reach 100 yards in the first two games of a season, joining Jackson, Thurman Thomas and O.J. Simpson, who did that twice. ... Chiefs TE Kevin Boss will be re-evaluated after leaving the game with a head injury in the second quarter. CB Javier Arenas hurt his neck and did not return. ... McKelvins TD return was the second of his career, and the second-longest in team history, 3 yards short of the record set by Keith Moody in 1977. ' ' ' |
