save on Callahan in the third period was his best from corse178's blog

Ronnie OSullivan says he passed up the chance of a 147 at the Welsh Open, claiming the £10,000 prize money on offer was too cheap. In the final frame of his 4-1 win over Barry Pinches at Cardiffs Motorpoint Arena, the five-time world champion was on course for the 14th maximum of his career having potted 13 reds and blacks.Off the 14th red, though, he played a simple positional shot onto the pink despite having made several audacious shots earlier in the break to return to the black. He duly cleared up for the more unusual feat of a 146 break and an imposing, but beatable, marker for the tournament high-break prize.OSullivan left the arena with a broad grin and then told BBC Wales: I could have got on the black and possibly made a 147. OSullivan did not think the maximum-break prize money was sufficient I knew it was 10 grand and I just thought thats a bit too cheap really. To make a maxi, its such a massive achievement and if theyre going to pay us 10 grand, I think its worth a bit more than that.Once the prize goes up a bit, Ill go for the 147. A 146 is just as good!The prize for a 147 is calculated on a rollover basis, with £5,000 added to the pot in each tournament. Neil Robertson made the most recent maximum in Decembers UK Championship final, winning £44,000 including the £4,000 prize for the tournament high break.

Countless 10 bell saves, the combination left pad save on Horton and Krejci in the second period showed his athhleticism and leg power.dddddddddddd Corey Crawford - 4 - Real strong crease control, did not seem out of position one time tonight, fought for position on the penalty kill as Detroit tried to crowd the crease, great left pad save through traffic on Kindl, rebound control was strong. Jimmy Howard - 3 - Continues to impress with his positioning as he was barraged by the Hawks all night long with 40-plus shots, did not waver in trying to be aggressive and out of his net. Explosive pushes out on Sharp, Kane and Shaw as his game did not change with the score. White NFL Jerseys Cheap Disocunt Football Jerseys Wholesale NFL White Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Cheap NFL T-shirts ' ' '
