the shootout (in Saturdays opening win against Calgar

Bristol slipped to a fourth successive Aviva Premiership defeat as dominant Exeter underlined the huge task facing Andy Robinsons team to secure top-flight survival this season.Try doubles from wing Olly Woodburn and No. 8 Thomas Waldrom -- plus a late Sam Hill touchdown -- meant the Chiefs were always in charge at Ashton Gate, with a second bonus point win in seven days seeing them climb to fourth place.Fly-half Gareth Steenson added five conversions and two penalties for a 41-17 triumph, and although Bristol showed glimpses of quality -- underlined when full-back Jordan Williams, hooker Ross McMillan and substitute Max Crumpton crossed for tries -- they have shipped 164 Premiership points so far in September.And life is not about to get any easier, with league champions Saracens due in the west country next Friday, although rugby director Robinson is realistic enough to know that beating clubs around them in the Premierships bottom third represent Bristols best hope of making progress.Exeter, bottom of the table behind Bristol this time last week, had far too much firepower in terms of ball-carrying threats, while skipper Steenson proved a master of playing the territory game at key moments.Robinson made six changes -- all in the pack -- following last Sundays 70-22 drubbing by Wasps, with prop Kyle Traynor, lock Mark Sorenson and flanker Jon Fisher among those called up to start, while Exeters four switches included a chance for Sam Hill in midfield alongside Henry Slade.And the visitors were immediately into their stride as Bristol endured a miserable start, with wing Tom Varndell going off for a head injury assessment and then slick Chiefs passing allowing Woodburn a clear run to the line, with Steensons conversion making it 7-0 after just four minutes.Bristol responded in determined fashion, though, putting together a number of attacking phases as they looked to make a temporary one-man advantage count after Exeter wing Ian Whitten was sin-binned following an aerial challenge on his opposite number Ryan Edwards.Referee Tom Foley made repeated big screen viewings as he consulted with the television match official Sean Davey, but a yellow card -- rather than red -- was probably the right call.But Exeter were not knocked out of their stride, and a smart break by Hill ended with him delivering a scoring pass for Woodburns second try, again converted by Steenson, as they moved 14 points clear.Bristol had to hit back immediately, and they did so in style when Edwards showed a blistering turn of pace to leave Exeters defence floundering before support runner Williams crossed to claim an outstanding try.But any hope of a concerted Bristol fightback before half-time disappeared as Steenson kicked a penalty before he added the extras to a trademark close-range Waldrom touchdown as Exeter trooped off 24-5 in front.And it took the Chiefs barely two minutes of the second period to claim a bonus-point try after their forwards rumbled relentlessly towards Bristols line and Waldrom applied the finishing touch.Steensons conversion moved Exeter past 30 points, before his second penalty increased the lead, but Bristol continued battling away, and Crumpton added a third try 10 minutes from time that Williams converted from the touchline.As against Northampton 12 days ago, Bristols strong second-half performance offered their supporters hope for the considerable challenges ahead, but one point from a possible 20 so far tells its own story.

Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille scored 20 seconds apart a few minutes after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg, and the Bruins beat the Lightning 3-0 on Monday afternoon. Randall Cunningham Eagles Jersey . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Both the Vancouver Canucks and Buffalo Sabres are in a defensive state of mind these days -- but for different reasons.The unbeaten Canucks (3-0-0) hope to maintain their strong defense as they host Buffalo (1-1-1) on Thursday night at Rogers Arena. On the other hand, the Sabres (1-1-1) are seeking to improve play in their own end. Vancouver has allowed only five goals against, while Buffalo has surrendered 10.Were not giving up nearly as many shots in the home plate area, which is just in front of the net, said Canucks center Bo Horvat. Were generating a lot more off our turnovers and tracking back and stuff like that. Structurally, were way better this year.The Canucks continue to defy their critics, many of whom picked them to finish last in the 30-team NHL this season. With Tuesdays comeback 2-1 overtime victory over the St. Louis Blues, the Canucks have won three straight games when trailing after two periods. The three comeback wins already match Vancouvers 2015-16 total for wins when trailing after 40 minutes.But Canucks coach Willie Desjardins wants more evidence of defensive dependability.We have worked at it, said Desjardins. That was one of the things going in (this season), that we were going to take away some chances. (But) three games isnt a big enough sample size. Weve got to keep proving it every day.Along with consistent play from defenseman and steady two-way play by forwards, strong goaltending has been a key factor in Vancouvers quick start. But most of the saves have come from supposed backup Jacob Markstrom, who will make his third straight start. Markstrom is pulling No. 1 duty, because Ryan Miller was feeling tight Tuesday morning prior to his cancelled start against St. Louis.As a result, the Canucks had to sign University of British Columbia goaltender Matt Hewitt to a one-day contract ass an emergency backup.dddddddddddd(The tightness) is something that, over the course of the season, you feel numerous times, Miller said Wednesday after taking part in practice. But once youre able to get that rest, youre fine the next day. It just held on a little bit longer (this time).Miller said he should be available for more exercise Thursday. The Canucks did not announce a call-up from their AHL farm team in Utica, N.Y. He had a slow start to practice, but was able to stay on the ice late.I tried to react to shots rather than take scripted shots, said Miller. Its reacting a lot better than I expected. Its not an injury. Its more a muscle didnt want to settle down after overtime and the shootout (in Saturdays opening win against Calgary.)Although the Canucks are not widely expected to make the playoffs, they have already set an NHL record this season. Vancouver has posted each win despite never having held the lead beforehand.But coach Desjardins was not overly impressed with the record.We cant keep playing that way, he said. We are not going to keep winning if we are behind in the third.Meanwhile, the Sabres aim to stop squandering late leads. Buffalo led twice in the third period Tuesday in Calgary, but still fell 4-3 in overtime.Going forward, theres a lot more we have to improve on, said Sabres center Ryan OReilly, who was beaten on the winning goal and missed a number of scoring chances. We did not have the jump or the compete (level Tuesday). Its embarrassing.Winger Marcus Foligno said the Sabres have to make sure that they are up for their meeting with the Canucks.We cant hang our heads too low, he said. But its definitely something where weve got to go into Vancouver now and finish off a good road trip. ' ' '
