RALEIGH, N. Dennis Schroder Jersey .C. -- The Detroit Red Wings are counting on a bringing a dose of confidence on the road with them.If the result of one game is a sign of a turnaround, then theyll be glad to have new-found momentum as they meet the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night.The Hurricanes are a hot team at home and they want to keep that in place especially as they showcase what appears to be a deeper and more versatile lineup.But its the Red Wings who have been out of sorts in recent weeks so theyre hoping that Saturday nights 6-4 home victory against Anaheim is something to feed off.It has been a tough stretch here, center Frans Nielsen said. It was good to see, good to get some confidence. We go on the road now, but its a different feeling in the room.Heading to Carolina could be a daunting assignment if the Red Wings are at all fragile. The Hurricanes have a nine-game home points streak (8-0-1) and have one more point overall than Detroit despite having played one less game.Part of the success for Carolina has come with improvement on offense even if at times the goal-scoring itself has been problematic.Were generating way more quality chances than we were earlier in the year, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. Were generating them, now we have to finish them.The outcome against Anaheim snapped the Red Wings four-game losing streak Saturday. The next three games are on the road for Detroit.Now youve got to build on it Monday, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. You have to come out with the same compete level. For us to be a great hockey team, we have to have ultra, ultra, ultra compete.If the Red Wings have looked vulnerable during their December struggles, its another reason teams will want to pounce on them.Its a game of confidence, Nielsen said. Every team you play is trying to outwork you and you have to be ready every night.Blashill said the Red Wings made enough happen to land on the right side of some fortunate situations in their most-recent game.Part of that luck was shooting the puck, he said. When you shoot the puck, (you can) make something out of nothing.The Hurricanes havent been invincible, but theyve made headway with success on home ice during the past month.Peters said the ability to roll with four lines has been an asset, particularly with a busy stretch of the schedule. Monday nights game will be the third in four nights for Carolina.I think its beneficial when you can (use four lines), Peters said. Those guys are important guys. Now all of a sudden youre using those guys.The lineup for the Hurricanes is mostly in place after injuries interfered with some groupings. That means more options for Peters, but something that he said works out for the best.Everybodys roles have shifted and changed a little bit now that everybody is healthy, he said. ... How you adjust and accept those roles are important on a team. Its not an individual sport.The status of Detroit defenseman Mike Green seems uncertain considering he departed late in Saturday nights game with an undisclosed ailment.The Hurricanes made a roster move Sunday by recalling defenseman Klas Dahlbeck, who had been with Charlotte of the American Hockey League. Ersan Ilyasova Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Mike Muscala Jersey . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. http://www.authenticbasketballshophawks.com/marco-belinelli-hawks-jersey/ . Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game.MONTREAL -- Its been seven years since Fernando Alonso ruled Formula One, but the two-time world champion from Spain is back in the race this year. Alonso posted the quickest lap in his Ferrari on a chilly, damp day of practice at the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday, although he wasnt going to get excited about being fastest in the 22-car field in a mere practice. Especially since his lap time held up mainly because a sprinkle of rain slowed cars through the final 15 minutes of the 90-minute afternoon session, just when most drivers are ready to make their fastest laps. "It depends on which moment you do your lap and the conditions on the circuit whether you are quickest or not," Alonso said. "The most important thing was to evaluate some new parts we brought here, and the new tires that Pirelli brought as well. Some of it we managed to do." Alonso navigated the 4,361-kilometre Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, which is slick even when it doesnt rain, in one minute 14.818 seconds, just ahead of defending Canadian Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamiltons Mercedes in 1:14.830. Romain Grosjean, who finished second here last year, was third-quickest for Lotus followed by Mark Webbers Red Bull, Nico Rosbergs Mercedes and Felipe Massa in a Ferrari. Alonso won world championships in 2005 and 2006 for Renault, but the 31-year-old was unable to catch Sebastian Vettels Red Bull as the German won championships the last three years. But he is making a case with two wins in the opening six races this season, the same as Vettel, who leads driver standings with 107 points. Lotus veteran Kimi Raikkonen is second with 86 and Alonso third with 78. When asked who he expected to be his chief competition this weekend, Vettel didnt overlook Ferrari. "On one lap, if you look at the time sheet, the Mercedes again looked very quick," he said. "The Ferrari looked competitive in both long and short runs. "So I think those will be the main rivals. But never forget the Lotus. They could be a surprise in the race." There is one more practice session on the schedule before qualifying on Saturday afternoon, when more damp weather is forecast. The sun is expected to appear for the race on Sunday. It complicates all the teams experiments with tires, car set-ups and other factors ahead of the race on what is considered one of the more difficult tracks in Formula One. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is known for being tough on brakes and tires with its long straightaways leading into tight corners and chicanes. The asphalt is slippery because it is only used once a year for racing. Any grip-enhancing rubber laid down in practice may be washed away by rain. It was not ideal for tire supplier Pirelli either. The Italian firm brought itts new, more durable tires for use in practice for the first time, but due to the conditions teams could only use them for about five laps. Taurean Prince Jersey. The new tires, reinforced with Kevlar rather than steel to reduce degradation, were supposed to go into full use at the British Grand Prix in two weeks, but that may now be delayed. "We did what we could," said Vettel. "It was a bit tricky to test different things because it was so slippery, but it was the same for everybody." Rosberg, coming off a victory at the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks ago, will be gunning for a fourth straight pole position. Hamilton is looking for a fourth Canadian Grand Prix victory. The Briton posted his first F1 win in Montreal in 2007, and also won in 2010 and last year. But they were all for the McLaren team, and he now races for Mercedes. Vettel, meanwhile, has never finished better than second at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. "No extra pressure because of that," Vettel said. "I like coming here despite the fact we havent won. "Today was a good day, but slippery. (Saturday) the weather is again going to be a factor. Then well see on Sunday." With Hamilton gone, the McLarens have slipped on the grid, leaving their top driver Jenson Button 10th in drivers standings with only one top-5 finish this year. Button won the Canadian race in 2011, and hopes the unpredictable conditions will help him this week, even if he is not even thinking about winning. "We all think we have a chance of winning in different conditions, but the reality is that its going to be very difficult for us," he said. "Thats why we go racing, but we know realistically its not going to happen. "So our aim is to get some good points in. Im not hoping for a certain position. I just hope we make improvements and get closer to the front." Times in the afternoon session were about seven seconds faster than in the morning, when Paul Di Resta of the Force India team led at 1:21.020. The late rain led to some slipping and sliding, including a near-crash between Webber and Grosjean. Kimi Raikkonens Lotus also went for a slide. Pastor Maldonado hit a wall late in the morning session and damaged the front wing on his Williams, while Jules Bianchis Marussia stopped on a slip road after 41 minutes, ending his session. Several others, including Button and Hamilton, had minor slides but kept going. "Its been a fun day of weather," said Button, who was ninth-fastest. "Weve had dry, wet, in the middle. "Its a pity at the end that we had a gearbox issue, so I didnt get a long run, which would have been quite useful, especially around here. But theres still a lot of data to go through." Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
