Whats traditionally been a gruelling turnaround in the CFL will be slightly easier when the Edmonton Eskimos host the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday. Wholesale NFL Jerseys . For nearly a quarter-century, the Eskimos have played in Calgary on Labour Day with the rematch just four days later in Edmonton. Since 1989, the lone exception to that schedule was in 1992. You can catch all the action starting at 7pm et/4pm pt on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 and TSN GO. Calgary (8-1) and Edmonton (7-2) get one more days rest than usual this year after the Stampeders 28-13 win Monday at McMahon Stadium. Its not a lot, but a little more time to repair bodies and prepare brains for the second game that always feels like a marathon for players on both sides. "This is going to be a four-quarter game," Stampeder linebacker Juwan Simpson predicted before the team departed for the Alberta capital. "If we feel in any way shape, form or fashion this game is going to be like it was the other day, weve got another thing coming. All these second games have almost come down to the wire. "A lot of guys will be aching, but the game, the adrenaline gets you through it. But mentally, its here we go, same team, same thing. You have to keep yourself in the meeting rooms, keep yourself getting healthy and not just take it for granted because youre playing the same team." The Stampeders are 2-0 against Edmonton in 2014 and clinched the season series with Mondays victory. Calgary hasnt lost Game 2 of the September home-and-home since 2006 and owns a 10-game winning streak against Edmonton. This is Edmontons last chance in the regular season to get a win over their southern rival because the Alberta clubs dont meet again in the second half of the schedule. "The good thing is youre playing the same opponent so youre not going to put in a million new defences and offences or anything on special teams," Eskimos head coach Chris Jones told reporters in Edmonton. "Youve got to go back in and look at what we did well and try to utlilize it and add a thing or two and thats it." Eskimos quarterback Matt Nichols completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 208 yards Monday, but Edmonton didnt score an offensive touchdown. Calgarys defence hasnt given up one in 29 consecutive drives by opposing offences. An injured thumb on Mike Reillys throwing hand kept the Esks quarterback out of Mondays game and ended his run of consecutive CFL starts at 26. He didnt throw the ball much in practices this week, which indicates another start for Nichols. "Its always a tough week when you only have a few days off in between games, but at the same time you dont have to do the extra game planning," Nichols said after Mondays loss. CFL all-star receiver Fred Stamps returns to Edmontons lineup after sitting out four games with a lower-body injury. Grant Shaw, who had field goals from 13 and 44 yards Monday, has been put on Edmontons injured list. Hometown product Hugh ONeill will handle kicking duties Saturday. Calgarys Edwin Harrison slides in at right tackle for Dan Federkeil, who left Mondays game with an injury. Stampeder receiver Joe West will not play because hell be in Texas for his brothers funeral. Despite missing six games with concussion symptoms in July and August, Calgary running back Jon Cornish isnt out of contention to win a third straight league rushing title. But with nine games remaining, hell need more performances like the 163 yards he had Monday. The New Westminster, B.C., native is 253 yards behind current CFL leader Nic Grigsby of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The extra day of rest could especially benefit Cornish on Saturday, but he didnt mind the short turnarounds of previous years. "Ive always liked playing on Fridays," Cornish said. "I always enjoyed the sort of epicness of that quick turnaround. "I know a lot of people werent super-fond of playing more than one football game in a week, but I liked that. Its a challenge to rise to." Edmonton was 1-8 at the halfway point last season. Their six-win swing matches the CFLs best mid-season improvement previously achieved twice by Hamilton (1960, 1997) and once by Toronto (1995). Those teams played in the Grey Cup those years, so the Esks have reason to be optimistic despite their winless record against Calgary this season. "This is probably the most confident team Ive ever been on," Eskimos linebacker J.C. Sherritt said. "Like we said after we took that loss, we were just happy we were going to play them again right now so we can line up again against them." Cheap Jerseys . - Chicago Bulls forward Ronnie Brewer has pleaded not guilty to a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills. Cheap NHL Jerseys .

This best-of-seven series between the Rangers and Capitals was tied at 2-2 heading into Mondays Game 5 in New York.NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers first game after they secured a playoff berth went a lot smoother than the two before they got in. Brad Richards scored twice on New Yorks previously anemic power play, Martin St. Louis had three assists in his best game since joining the Rangers last month, and Henrik Lundqvist kept the Carolina Hurricanes at bay in a 4-1 victory on Tuesday night. The Rangers qualified for the playoffs on Monday when New Jersey lost. New York was 0-1-1 in its previous two games after a 7-1 spurt vaulted them to second place in the Metropolitan Division. If the Rangers, who have two games left, hold off Philadelphia and Columbus they will have home-ice advantage against one of those teams in the first round. "You want to get good habits, and you want to play the game you want to play next week," said Lundqvist, who made 27 saves. "You cant take any shortcuts. You need to focus the same way and take each game as an important game. "Who knows? It can play a huge part in the end." Philadelphia and Columbus, third and fourth respectively in the Metropolitan, also won Tuesday. Philadelphia trails New York by two points, and Columbus is four points behind. Those clubs both have three games remaining. "We talked before the game that we have been playing good hockey for a long time, and we want to go into the playoffs feeling good about our game," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "For the most part, thats what we did." Richards scored in the first period to tie it and then stretched New Yorks lead to two goals in the second with his 20th of the season -- the 10th time he has reached the mark in the NHL. Benoit Pouliot and Derek Stepan also scored as the Rangers beat the Hurricanes for the 11th time in 12 games. Patrick Dwyer scored for Carolina, and Cam Ward made 32 saves in just his second start in seven games. The Hurricanes are out of the playoff picture. "I thought three of the four goals that they scored were too easy," Ward said. "It was almost like we gave them to them." Lundqvist kept the Rangers in the game during the first when each team had 10 shots and numerous scoring chances. Carolina connected 3:22 in, after Ward made a big save. The Hurricanes dug the puck out of the corner to Lundqvists left, and Brett Bellemore brought it behind the Rangers net. He spotted Dwyer in front and fed a quick pass to him for his eeighth goal. Cheap NHL Jerseys China. Lundqvist was sharp the rest of the way, turning aside Alexander Semins slow breakaway with 8 minutes left, catching Jeff Skinners hard shot from the right circle after he knocked the puck up in the air with his glove with 6:33 remaining, and a shot and rebound in tight by defenceman Jay Harrison. That allowed the Rangers to get even on Richards first. Just 9 seconds after Semin went off for hooking, Richards took a pass in the left circle from St. Louis, paused for a moment, and then slapped a shot past Ward with 4:16 to go in the first. New York had scored just four goals on its previous 47 power plays over 15 games. The Rangers nearly went in front with 1:39 left in the period, but Mats Zuccarello banged the puck off the right post at the goal line, and then had the carom stopped by Harrison at the left post. However, they wasted little time in grabbing the lead just 50 seconds into the middle period, making it 2-1 on Pouliots 14th goal. "We just werent ready to go in the second period," Ward said. "The puck dropped and they immediately attacked us." Zuccarello wound up for a big drive in the high slot, but instead of shooting the puck he slapped a pass to Pouliot, who cut in on left wing and scored. The Rangers pushed the lead to 3-1 and made it 2 for 2 on the power play when Richards -- in the middle of a triangle passing play with St. Louis and Dan Girardi -- took a feed from Girardi and slapped another drive that eluded Ward with 6:24 left in the second. "The turning point was getting scored on the first shift of the second period," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "We just had a tough time getting things going after that." Stepan finished the scoring 4:38 into the third when he steered a pass from St. Louis in at the left post for his 17th goal. St. Louis had just one goal and three assists before Tuesday in 17 games since joining the Rangers. "I definitely have felt a lot better the past six or seven games," St. Louis said. "Its nice to get rewarded on so many plays. Just keep looking to build it up and keep getting better." NOTES: Injured Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonagh (shoulder) and forward Chris Kreider (hand) both participated in the morning skate, but sat out the game. It isnt known if either will play in New Yorks final two regular-season games. ... It was Dwyers first goal in 10 games. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
