No one can can fully appreciate the conflicting emotions that brothers Jim and John Harbaugh will endure coaching against each other in Sunday's Super Bowl. But brothers Scott and Rob Neidermayer understand better than most.

Nine years ago, the Niedermayers brought sibling rivalry to its highest level in the NHL when they faced off in a seven-game Stanley Cup Final.

"You dream of winning the Stanley Cup, and both of us wanted it very much," Rob recalls. "And yet here was my brother standing in the way of my goal. It was a pretty tough situation."

At the 2003 Stanley Cup Final, older brother Scott was a 29-year-old star defenseman, trying to win his third Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils. Rob, a year younger, was a highly respected forward with the Anaheim Ducks. The brother vs. brother confrontation became an important subplot of the series, spiced a bit by their mother, Carol, saying she was rooting for Rob because Scott had won before.

"That made sense to me," Scott says, chuckling at the memory.

Rob says the Harbaughs' Super Bowl story line has to be most difficult on their parents because his mom found it stressful.

"When she came down (from British Columbia), she was so excited about the situation," Rob says. "But as Game 7 drew around, it became a strain. She was sick of doing interviews and I think the week took a toll on her."

Scott remembers there weren't too many lighthearted moments while the series was going on. The two brothers did talk during the series, but it was brief. It didn't help that the series had a grueling travel schedule.

"If we both had already won Stanley Cups, I think it would have been a little lighter environment," Scott says. "The fact he had not won weighed on me, and made it a bit more of a challenge. This was his second time in the Finals, and I knew what it feels like to come up short because we did that in 2001."

Neither player recalls any specific confrontations on the ice.

"He was too big, so I would not have engaged in that," says Scott, now an assistant coach for Anaheim.

The hotly contested series extended to Game 7 with the Devils winning 3-0 on a Martin Brodeur shutout.

"The one thing I do remember is going through the handshake line," Scott recalls. "I don't know what you could say at that point. But I just remember telling him that I thought he played like a champion, as all of the Ducks had to get to that point. A Game 7 is splitting hairs, really. I'm sure it didn't make him feel any better. In fact, I know it didn't."

Rob recalls feeling numb as he shuffled through the line, but he says his brother was consoling. His emotional wounds were healed enough that he attended Scott's day with the Cup. "But I will admit it was tough," he says.

The loss felt devastating to Rob because he didn't know if he'd ever reach the Final again. Little did he know he would be back four years later, playing alongside his brother. Scott signed with Anaheim as a free agent and handed the Stanley Cup to Rob when the Ducks won in 2007.

"(The 2003) final turned out to be the prelude to the rest of the story for us, " Scott says. "Even to this day, it's hard to believe how it played out. You couldn't write it any better."

With both now having a championship on their resume, it will be much easier for them to watch the Harbaughs going through their brother vs. brother moment in the San Francisco vs. Baltimore Super Bowl.

"I'm sure the Harbaughs were like all brothers ... When they were younger, they competed at everything they possible could," Scott says. "My brother and I were the same way, but as you get older, a little bit of that goes away. There is still some competitive spirit. But you want your brother to succeed, to do well, and those two (emotions) butted heads when I was playing against him a Stanley Cup Final."

{allcanada} Sharks beat Oilers 3-2 in shootout to open 7-0

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Michal Handzus and Dan Boyle scored in the shootout to help the San Jose Sharks extend the best start in franchise history with their seventh straight win, 3-2 over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored unassisted goals off turnovers 39 seconds apart in the second period against Devan Dubnyk to break open a scoreless game. Antti Niemi made 26 saves as the Sharks remained the only unbeaten team in the NHL.

San Gagner scored in the second period and Taylor Hall tied it in the opening minute of the third for the Oilers, who had won two straight including a 2-1 overtime victory the previous night in Phoenix. Dubnyk made 36 saves, including seven in an overtime that included a San Jose power play.

Handzus, who scored the only shootout goal against Anaheim on Tuesday, got San Jose started when he beat Dubnyk with a forehand in the opening round. After Gagner and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins missed for Edmonton, Boyle won it with his goal in the third round.

Hall got the equalizer at the end of a pretty give-and-go with Jordan Eberle 51 seconds into the third. The Sharks thought they regained the lead later in the period but Ryane Clowe was called for interference before taking a long pass from Couture and beating Dubnyk.

That's where the game stood until the shootout.

The Sharks took advantage of two turnovers to get their two quick strikes midway through the second. Scott Gomez pressured Ryan Whitney near the blue line before his linemate, Couture, stole the puck. Couture skated in and beat Dubnyk with a wrist shot before showing that he has Super Bowl fever.

Couture, a Buffalo Bills fan, skated toward the boards, flexed his arm and kissed his biceps - what is known as Kaepernicking - in tribute to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Less than a minute later, Pavelski took the puck from Ladislav Smid and beat Dubnyk with his own wrister, giving him a goal in his third straight game and point in all seven this season.

Gagner cut the lead in half less than 3 minutes later when he tipped Mark Fistric's point shot past Niemi, but the Oilers missed a chance to tie the game on a late power play in the second.

The Oilers, who came into the game trailing only San Jose in power-play efficiency, went 0 for 3 with the extra man as the Sharks have killed 16 straight penalties over the past four games. Improving a penalty-kill unit that struggled last season, especially in a playoff loss to St. Louis, has been the top priority this season in San Jose

After scoring six goals in the first period at Edmonton last week, the Sharks managed just seven shots on goal in a scoreless opening period in the rematch. It marked the first time they failed to score in the first period since the season opener at Calgary.

NOTES: The Sharks have scored first in six of seven games this season. ... Edmonton captain Shawn Horcoff was scratched with a strained neck after being hit late in Wednesday's game by Shane Doan. Anton Lander was called up from Oklahoma City of the AHL. ... San Jose D Jason Demers was added to the active roster after being injured in Europe during the lockout, but did not play.

{allcanada} Jets-Lightning Preview 2/1/13

Family escapes with savings of up to $3,000 free coupons CarParts.com Auto Accessories

Off to their best start in eight seasons, the Tampa Bay Lightning aren't showing any signs of letting up.

Their success shouldn't come as much of a surprise to the Winnipeg Jets.

Looking to match its longest winning streak from all of last season, Tampa Bay - unbeaten at home - tries to continue its recent domination of Winnipeg on Friday night.

After splitting their first two games, the Lightning (5-1-0) have outscored opponents 20-8 while winning their last four. Tampa Bay, averaging an NHL-best 4.8 goals per game, continued its offensive prowess Tuesday in a 5-2 win over Florida, improving to 4-0-0 on its own ice.

The Lightning, who opened a franchise-best 6-0-0 in 2003-04 on their way to the franchise's only Stanley Cup title, last won their first five home games in 2007-08.

"There's still a lot left in us," rookie Cory Conacher, who is third on the team with nine points, told the team's official website. "We can't get too over our heads right now because it's the first six games of the season and teams are still getting used to the speed of the game. ... We gotta stay humble and take every contest like its a playoff game.

"As long as we come out Friday night with the same gas we had tonight, it's hopefully gonna be the same story."

While Steven Stamkos scored for the third time in as many games on Tuesday and captain Vincent Lecavalier added a goal and an assist, Tampa Bay also got plenty of production from its third line. Tom Pyatt and Dana Tyrell each tallied a goal and an assist while Benoit Pouliot set up two scores.

"We've created a third line that's really, really looking good," coach Guy Boucher said. "All three, I mean they're jets, they fly - Pyatt, Tyrell and Pouliot - they're clicking right now, so that's good news for us.

"In the NHL, it's your top four defenseman, your goaltender, but after that, the difference is usually your third line ... and right now, we're building a third line. I like it."

Boucher has also surely been pleased with his team's recent efforts against Winnipeg (3-3-1). The Lightning are 14-2-1 in this series dating to November 2009, when the Jets franchise was located in Atlanta. Tampa Bay is 8-0-1 at home over that stretch.

Winnipeg enters this game hoping to avoid a third consecutive loss after a 6-3 defeat at Florida on Thursday. Blake Wheeler continued his strong play with a pair of assists but the Jets allowed five goals in the third period, blowing two one-goal leads.

"We have another game in 24 hours against one of the top teams in the East and in our division right now, so if we can't get up for (Friday's game), we have bigger issues," Wheeler, who has three goals and five assists during a five-game point streak, told the team's official website.

Ondrej Pavelec, who stopped 28 of 33 shots Thursday, is 3-4-6 in his last 13 meetings against the Lightning. If in goal, Pavelec will need to be wary of Stamkos, who's notched eight goals and six assists during a nine-game point streak in this series. His 35 points against the Jets are by far his most against any opponent.

Slowing down Stamkos could prove all the more difficult without defenseman Dustin Byfuglien, who's uncertain to be available after sitting out Thursday due to an undisclosed injury.

After compiling a 3.67 goals-against average over his first three starts, Tampa Bay's Anders Lindback has allowed a combined three goals over his last two games, improving to 4-1-0.

{allcanada} Stastny scores twice to lead Avs past Flames 6-3

Family escapes with savings of up to $3,000 free coupons CarParts.com Auto Accessories

http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/5ZKGvAKoxzZAM_GDqm3eEw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD0zNzE7cT04NTt3PTUxMg--/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/Sports/ap/201301312254824709335-p2.jpeg

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) -- Paul Stastny found the perfect time to score his first two goals of the season.

With the score tied late in the third period, Stastny notched the go-ahead goal on a power play and then added an insurance goal to lead the Colorado Avalanche to a 6-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.

''Sometimes you've just got to take it to the net and get ugly goals,'' Stastny said. ''We know what kind of atmosphere it is here. It's always tough to play in. That's what makes it fun. I like playing in this building. I like playing these guys.''

With Flames defenseman Mark Giordano in the penalty box for tripping, Stastny scored on an unassisted wraparound with 2:40 left in regulation.

Stastny added his second of game 89 seconds later, before P.A. Parenteau scored into an empty net.

''I think Paul can hopefully relax a little bit now and just play his game,'' Colorado coach Joe Sacco said. ''It was just a matter of time before Paul got going. It's big for our team.

''We need Paul going offensively for our team.''

John Mitchell and Parenteau each added two goals and an assist for the Avalanche, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Matt Duchene and Jamie McGinn both chipped in with a pair of assists.

''Credit to the guys, they stuck with it for 60 minutes tonight,'' Sacco said. ''We had played last night (a 3-0 loss in Vancouver to the Canucks). I thought we found some good energy there in the third period, which was nice to see. It's a big win for us.''

In his first start of the season for the Avalanche, Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 25 of 28 shots to pick up the win.

''It felt good,'' Giguere said. ''It's been a long time since I played. All I wanted was to play a simple game, try to give the team a chance. Fortunately at the end, we found a way to get a big (penalty) kill and get some big goals. I thought we had a pretty strong game as a team.''

Jiri Hudler had two goals and an assist in a losing cause for the Flames, who hadn't played since Saturday's 4-3 home win over Edmonton. Alex Tanguay had the other goal for the Flames, while Matt Stajan added two assists.

''Definitely a lost opportunity for us,'' Stajan said. ''That's unacceptable on our behalf. That's a chance where we can jump on a team that's struggling, that's played a lot of hockey.

''We've got to take a look in the mirror tonight - all of us - and make sure we learn to bear down in these games because these are the points that matter at the end of the year.''

Calgary captain Jarome Iginla agreed with Stajan's assessment.

''We know we blew one tonight and it's not going to sit well with us, and it shouldn't,'' Iginla said. ''We've got to get right back at it and start climbing because now we're going to start playing every second day. We've got to finish this homestand off properly and build it in the right direction again.''

Miikka Kiprusoff made 16 saves for Calgary to take the loss.

Hudler opened the scoring at 7:23 of the first period with his first of the season and first as a member of the Flames. Hudler set up the initial scoring chance when he feathered a pass into the slot that Stajan one-timed on net. Hudler the pounced on the rebound and swatted the puck past Giguere.

Tim Jackman nearly put the Flames up by a pair during a hard-working shift later in the first period. After being denied by Giguere on his first attempt, Jackman then tipped a shot off the post that trickled wide.

With just 47 seconds left in the first period, Mitchell intercepted a clearing attempt by Chris Butler before skating toward the slot and snapping a shot past Kiprusoff to tie the game.

The Flames then went up 2-1 early in the second period when Hudler finished off a nice three-way passing play with Stajan and Roman Cervenka. For Cervenka, it was his first NHL point after signing a free-agent deal with the Flames in the offseason.

After Parenteau backhanded a shot through Kiprusoff's legs, Mitchell put the Avs up 3-2 when he converted a feed from Chuck Kobasew at 16:58 for his second of the game.

But with just 18 seconds left in the period, Tanguay wired a touch pass from Hudler past Giguere to tie it at 3 heading to the third.

Notes: After finishing off a season-high four-game road trip, the Avs will play their next four games at home starting Saturday against Edmonton. ... The Flames have played four of their first five games at home. After hosting the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, Calgary will embark on a three-game road trip starting in Detroit against the Red Wings on Tuesday. ... Heading into the game, Calgary had beaten Colorado in four of the previous five games at the Saddledome.

{allcanada} Kingsbury, Bilodeau finish 1-2 at WC event

Family escapes with savings of up to $3,000 free coupons CarParts.com Auto Accessories

DEER VALLEY, Utah -- Consistency was the key for Mikael Kingsbury on Thursday.

Kingsbury led a 1-2 Canadian finish at a freestyle World Cup moguls event, edging teammate and reigning Olympic champion Alex Bilodeau.

Kingsbury, of Deux-Montagnes, Que., finished with a score of 25.78 points for his 19th straight podium, while Bilodeau, of Rosemere, Que., was right behind with 25.60.

"I'm pretty happy with how I skied today, with the consistency of my runs," said Kingsbury.

Patrick Deneen of the United States was third with 25.07.

"I was just focusing run by run," said Kingsbury. "I was trying to learn from every run, every score."

Bilodeau was also pleased with his performance.

"For me it's the first time this season that I showed my best skiing," said Bilodeau. "I made a small mistake in the middle section, but other than that I'm really happy. I skied really well."

Quebec City's Simon Pouliot-Cavanagh and Marc-Antoine Gagnon of Terrebonne, Que. also made the finals, they finished in ninth and 12th position, respectively.

Cedric Rochon of St. Sauveur, Que., and Montreal's PO Gagne finished in 21st and 22nd position in the qualification round.

Meanwhile in the women's event, Hannah Kearney, Heather McPhie and Eliza Outtrim completed an American sweep.

It was only the second sweep by U.S. women, with the other occurring Jan. 21, 2010, in Lake Placid, N.Y.

Kearney won gold in 2010 as well, while McPhie took bronze behind Shannon Bahrke.

Quebec City's Audrey Robichaud, who suffered a concussion in a training fall last week in Calgary finished in seventh with a score of 22.99.

"I wasn't even supposed to ski today, but my head felt good and the doctor gave me the okay so I'm super pumped," said Robichaud. "Actually, I can't believe what I did here today when I didn't even ski a top-to-bottom on the course all week, I'm really excited."

Montreal's Justine Dufour-Lapointe, who won last week's competition in Calgary, landed in eighth at 22.95; she hangs on to the yellow bib as the women's tour leader. Rookie Andi Naude of Penticton, B.C., was 12th at 21.69.

Chloe Dufour-Lapointe was 17th in the qualification round and her sister Maxime was 20th. Chelsea Henitiuk of Spruce Grove, Alta. was 22nd.

The competition continues Friday with aerials, with dual moguls to follow on Saturday.

RE: [SurroundSound] Re: Convert SACD ISO to individual DSD tracks?

Analog out is still dealing with a preamp stage.  On my Oppo for example I have volume control over the analog outs.

Not that it matters. DACs living with a power amp stage in the same box was a solved problem long ago.  Properly designed there will be no audible effects.

As for DSD-->PCM, again, not hard to achieve transparency.  DSD was actually designed to be converted to PCM.  It was not originally meant to be a consumer format.

Just to throw in some really gritty detail to this – about 3 years ago we looked at which DACs could natively decode DSD. There were about 3 and intended for low end decoders using differential single bit decoding.

Most DACs are ladder types and although accept a DSD input actually convert to PCM inside. I know there are some silly money types that will do the decode but most will only do PCM, so why the issue of doing the decode at source when error checking over PCM connections is now state of the art? Is DSD?

BTW I stick to analogue outputs as I don’t believe that DACs should live in the same box as power outputs, having once designed amplifiers.

Yes it will decode it into PCM.  If you don't mind the conversion it's a rather elegant way of getting around being able to play SACDs from a computer.  AFAIK still can't be done and gets converted to PCM.  I think a couple more DSD capable receivers have come on the market--I don't know if they would handle the DOP protocol.  So far the number of outboard DACs able to do this is still in the handful quantity though it's changing rapidly.  I think there was some interest in having the plug ins work with HDMI and AVRs but I believe there were some problems with different implementations that prevented this from happening.  Some RECENT AVRs came out with USB ports to act as DACs and those MAY be capable of playing them natively. If you are just concerned with playing the iso's without care for PCM/DSD they should play just fine on most equipment over HDMI--it'll just be some version of PCM.  Again if someone knows of some gear getting around this there is much interest in native DSD on AVR type equipment.  Even a DSD capable DAC doesn't mean that is what you will get--I can get music to my Oppo in a variety of manners but the only way for the DAC to recognize it as DSD without conversion is with a disc.

BTW generally all the USB DAC solutions only have stereo DSD input.

{allcanada} OHL: CLARKE STRIKES TWICE AS PETES DOWN SPITFIRES

grocery coupons 

Michael Clarke scored twice, including the winner, as the Peterborough Petes defeated the Windsor Spitfires 7-5 in the Ontario Hockey League on Thursday.

Chase Hatcher, Stephen Pierog, Jonatan Tanus, Stephen Nosad and Greg Betzold had the other goals for the Petes (15-27-7), while Nick Ritchie chipped in with three assists.

Michael Giugovaz made 30 saves to pick up the win.

Clarke's first-period goal and third-period winner were his first two as a Pete since being acquired from Windsor earlier this month.

The Petes jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first period and upped that advantage to 5-2 midway through the second.

Windsor goalie Jaroslav Pavelka was pulled after allowing five goals on 26 shots and was replaced by Jordan Dekort, who made 20 saves in a relief effort

Nick Ebert, Kerby Rychel, Remy Giftopoulos, Brady Vail, Ben Johnson scored for the Spitfires (20-22-7), who got three goals in just under eight minutes to knot the game at 5-5 after two periods of play.

But Clarke's second of the night and Betzold's empty-netter in the third period were the difference.

Elsewhere in the OHL it was: Mississauga 3 Brampton 4 and Sudbury 4 Niagara 1.

Battalion 4 Steelheads 3

At Brampton, Ont., Blake Clarke scored a goal and added an assist as the Battalion held off Mississauga.

Barclay Goodrow and Nick Paul had the other goals for Brampton (23-18-8).

Stuart Percy, Riley Brace and Trevor Carrick replied for the Steelheads (22-22-4).

Wolves 4 IceDogs 1

At St. Catharines, Ont., Jeff Corbett scored two goals as Sudbury defeated Niagara.

Evan de Haan and Ray Huether had the other goals for the Wolves (23-17-10).

Ryan Strome replied for the IceDogs (23-23-4), who outshot Sudbury 33-25 overall but are now winless in eight games.

{allcanada} Panthers net 5 goals in 3rd to beat Jets 6-3

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- Alex Kovalev scored the go-ahead goal during Florida's five-goal outburst in the third period, helping the Panthers rally for a 6-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.

Kris Versteeg, Peter Mueller, Jonathan Huberdeau and Tomas Kopecky also scored in the third frame for the Panthers, who scored four unanswered goals in the final 8:40 after falling behind 3-2. Brian Campbell also scored and Jose Theodore stopped 21 shots to help Florida snap a five-game losing streak with its first win since the season opener on Jan. 19.

Tobias Enstrom, Olli Jokinen and Grant Clitsome scored as the Jets dropped their second in a row following a three-game win streak. Ondrej Pavelev had 28 saves for Winnipeg.

Trailing 3-2, Florida tied it at 3 on a goal by Mueller. Pavelev made a glove save on a shot by Filip Kuba but the puck bounced out and Mueller grabbed it and poked it in at 11:20.

The Panthers went ahead 4-3 on the power play just over a minute later when Kovalev's shot from the slot beat Pavelev. Florida then stretched its lead to 5-3 at 15:29 when Huberdeau's weak shot bounced off a defenseman and into the net. Kopecky added a power play goal late in the third for the final margin.

The Jets took a 3-2 lead at 7:38 of the third when Enstrom shot from just inside the left circle, beating Theodore on the glove side.

Jokinen gave the Jets a 2-1 lead at 1: 23 of the third with a wrister from the right side of the crease that got past Theodore.

The Panthers tied it at 2 a few minutes later on Versteeg's goal. Tomas Fleischmann passed from behind the goal line out to Versteeg in front and his wrister beat Pavelev at 3:35. Versteeg made his first start of the season after missing the first five games because of injury.

The Panthers got on the board first on Campbell's goal at 5:14 of the second period during a 5-on-3 power play. Campbell took a shot from the top of the right circle that bounced past Pavelec and into the net. It was the fifth consecutive game that the Jets have allowed the first goal.

The Jets tied it at 16:11 of the second when Clitsome fired a shot from above the left circle that caromed off the inside post and into the net for his first goal of the season.

Florida's Scottie Upshall left the game after being injured in a fight with James Wright in the third period. Upshall struck his head on the boards after his helmet came off during the fight and he also came off the ice limping.

Notes: Panthers D Ed Jovanovski is expected to miss at least two games after injuring his knee Tuesday at Tampa. ... C Marcel Goc made his season debut after being medically cleared from an injury while playing in Germany during the lockout. ... Jets D Dustin Byfuglien was scratched Thursday with an undisclosed injury. ... D Zach Redmond made his NHL debut after being a healthy scratch the first six games.

{allcanada} Maple Leafs beat Capitals 3-2 for first home win

grocery coupons

TORONTO (AP) -- Nikolai Kulemin and Matt Frattin scored third-period goals to give the Toronto Maple Leafs their first home win of the season with a 3-2 comeback victory over the struggling Washington Capitals on Thursday night.

Kulemin tied it 2-all at 7:40 of the third, poking in a puck that squeezed through Michal Neuvirth's legs following Michael Kostka's shot from the point. As the Washington goalie tried in vain to squeeze his pads, Kulemin reached behind and nudged the puck in for his first of the year.

Frattin made it 3-2, capping a nice passing play with Nazem Kadri at 9:53 by tapping in the puck for his fourth goal - and sixth point - in four games.

The Maple Leafs lived dangerously in the final minutes as the Capitals (1-5-1) pressed for a tying goal that never came.

James van Riemsdyk also scored for Toronto (4-3-0), which outshot Washington 40-22. The Maple Leafs had their chances to take control earlier in the game, but a lack of clinical finishing and a failure to convert numerous power-play opportunities frustrated them before 19,374 at the Air Canada Centre.

Toronto, which came into the game ranked 20th on the power play, went 1 for 8 with the man-advantage. There were no penalties in the third period.

Alex Ovechkin doubled his goal output on the season when he scored on the power play at 2:38 of the second period, drilling a low wrist shot through James Reimer from just outside the faceoff circle for a 2-1 lead.

Joel Ward opened the scoring for Washington, which has yet to win on the road. Mike Ribeiro had two assists, upping his scoring total to one goal and seven assists.

Before the game, Ward noted on Twitter that baseball icon Jackie Robinson would have turned 94 on Thursday.

''Hope I represent the number well! 42,'' tweeted Ward, who wears the number in Robinson's honor.

The Capitals went ahead within the first 2 minutes of the game but then were assessed five straight penalties in the next 9 minutes and were outshot 15-7 in the first period. Toronto was on the power play for 6:11 of the first 20 minutes, managing to take advantage once.

Thanks to Ovechkin, the Caps led 2-1 midway through the game despite having only 10 shots.

The Leafs were coming off a 4-3 overtime win in Buffalo on Tuesday. Washington lost 3-2 in Ottawa the same night, giving up a 2-0 lead and conceding the winning goal on the power play with 2:30 remaining.

Going into the game, both teams had snipers stuck in neutral.

Ovechkin, who arrived with one goal and one assist, hasn't had an even-strength goal in his last 10 games, dating back to the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Leafs showed him little respect, with captain Dion Phaneuf bowling him over in the Washington crease in the first period. The Capitals star did not manage a shot on goal in the first period.

Toronto sniper Phil Kessel, meanwhile, entered the game goalless with three assists in his first six games - failing to score on 27 shots in his bid for his 100th goal with the Maple Leafs.

His drought continued in the first period as Neuvirth stoned him from in close during a 4-minute power play with Jason Chimera off for hooking and unsportsmanlike conduct.

But a Kessel shot on the extended power play led to van Riemsdyk's goal as the big forward, stationed in front like a lamppost, tucked in the rebound for his fourth of the season at 8:19.

The Caps had jumped into the lead at 1:36 when Ribeiro, angling the puck from behind the goal, threaded a pass through several Toronto defenders to an unmarked Ward who fired it in.

Kessel, who had five shots in the first 40 minutes, was somehow denied by Neuvirth midway through the second when he tucked a shot between his legs from in-close. Neuvirth did it again with a glove save in the third.

Neuvirth, who deserved a better result, also stopped van Riemsdyk on a late breakaway.

Clarke MacArthur (finger), Mike Komisarek (eye) and Mike Brown (shoulder) sat out for the Leafs.

NOTES: Toronto claimed 6-foot-5, 230-pound forward Frazer McLaren off waivers from San Jose. The Maple Leafs also called up Marlies captain Ryan Hamilton and placed Mike Brown on injured reserve after he hurt his shoulder in a fight Tuesday. ... Washington forward Brooks Laich, recovering from a groin injury sustained playing in Europe during the lockout, took part in the morning skate for the first time this season. ... Toronto's homestand continues Saturday against Boston and Monday against Carolina.

{allcanada} Report: CSA cuts ties with Canadian league

grocery coupons 

The Canadian Soccer Association will no longer sanction the Canadian Soccer League, according to a report from cbc.ca.

The move comes a week after Interpol hosted the Integrity in Sport conference -- which both CSA and CSL officials were in attendance -- that was intended to educate FIFA and CONCACAF on the growing match-fixing threat.

In September, a report surfacedthat an international match-fixing syndicate set its sights on the CSL.

The decision to cut ties with the CSL reportedly was contributed by a number of factors including the admission the CSA isn't equipped to tackle the domestic match-fixing problem.

At the conference, Interpol stated that while not all the money was related to match-fixing but nearly $100 million had passed through legitimate betting houses to be placed on CSL matches the past three seasons.
