Group D, or the so-called group of death, was full of upsets and suspense until the very end of their League of Legends World Championships round-robin stage. Paul Millsap Jersey . With three potential world-class teams -- Team SoloMid, Samsung Galaxy and Royal Never Give Up -- and one massive European underdog, Splyce, it was the ultimate prove it group -- each team was touted and hyped, but unproven.Splyce and TSM provided plenty of feel-good moments, but ultimately Samsung Galaxy and RNG prevailed into the quarterfinals.Winner of the day: Samsung GalaxySamsung Galaxy lived up to their lofty expectations. The team performed brilliantly with an undefeated Saturday, a record of 5-1 and the top seed out of the group. Not only did the team win, but they won in dominant fashion -- two victories inside the 20-minute window. Kang Ambition Chang-yong carried most of the lane phase to overcome many of the bottom-lane deficiencies and kept Samsung Galaxy even into the mid game. From there, it was a complete team snowball. From the support to the middle lane, everyones contributions led to a dominating group-stage exit for Samsung Galaxy.Loser of the day: Team SoloMidThe North American all-star lineup exited the group stage with a Week 2 record of 1-2 and the taste of bitter disappointment after they failed to capitalize on a solid Week 1. In both of their losses against Samsung Galaxy and RNG, TSM failed to play at their own pace or with their offensive identity. While Yiliang Peter Doublelift Peng did his part on the offensive end, the rest of the lineup fell flat. Against Samsung Galaxy, both S?ren Bjergsen Bjerg and Kevin Hauntzer Yarnell played poorly. From the lane phase to the most critical team engagements, Bjergsen and Hauntzer contributed little at key moments -- either one failed in positioning or was too passive in an approach. Against RNG, it was just a wash. Outside of one great fight to potentially start a comeback, it was all RNG from the first minute.Overall, the North American lineup did not recognize the oppositions defenses or take advantage of the miscues that the enemy provided. It was an uncharacteristically poor showing from the usually strong team.Team that needed improvement: Royal Never Give UpRNG suffered a 23-minute battering from Samsung Galaxy, a defeat from Splyce and needed a final game against TSM to qualify out of the group stage. It was a humbling day for the team-fighting super squad, but it was still a qualification. There are so many holes in RNG: early game (the bottom lane), rotations and overall map control. RNGs team-fighting prowess was well-documented, but if the team cannot enter the mid game without any momentum, it was negated. The team needs a full early-game draft makeover and aggression from either the jungle or the middle lane, or RNG will not survive past the first round of the quarterfinals. Kenneth Faried Jersey . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. Jameer Nelson Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. http://www.nuggetsprostore.com/kids-alex-english-nuggets-jersey/ . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. BOSTON -- The Los Angeles Kings, spending most of December on the road, bring their traveling road show into Boston for a Sunday matinee.And when they hit the ice for fourth game of a nine-game journey, they will face a Bruins team missing its leading goal scorer.David Pastrnak, the 20-year-old who has carried the Boston offense this season, underwent right elbow surgery for the removal of an olecranon bursa on Friday. He is officially listed as day to day and expected to be out at least two games. But teammate David Backes missed five games earlier this season with the same surgery.Its not a fun little procedure hes going through, Backes said, but hes in the hands of great doctors and hopefully hell be back even sooner than I was.Pastrnak has only one goal in the last four games, but six in the last seven and his 19, four more than all of last season, are more than twice anyone else on the roster.He is also a team-best plus-15 and is second in the NHL to Sidney Crosby in goals.Its never easy when you hear that kind of news for one of your better players this year, so those are challenges you have to face and get through, coach Claude Julien said Saturday. Well certainly do our best to get some wins here without him.Peter Budaj, the workhorse Kings goalie with Jonathan Quick expected to be out until mid-February, shut down Sidney Crosby and the high-scoring Penguins in a 1-0 overtime victory on Friday night, shouldnt have as much trouble with the offensively challenged Bruins without Pastrnak. Boston has scored two goals or less in 21 of its 32 games.In Pittsburgh, Budaj, pulled from his previous start in Buffalo in the first game of the trip, made 39 saves in ending the Penguins seven-game winning streak.Thats the most important thing is to win, said Budaj, who notched his third shutout of the season after Quick was lost in the opener. The shutoout is like the cherry on the cake. Wilson Chandler Jersey. It feels great.The Bruins have lost five of their last six, getting at least one point in three of the six. They have lost three in a row at home, where they are 7-8 this season -- and it was poor play on home ice that cost Boston a playoff berth for a second straight season last year.The Bruins won in overtime in Montreal on Monday night, then lost in OT at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, then lost at home to Anaheim in the third game in four nights.And the Kings went into Pittsburgh Friday and won.Circle the wagons and stick together. Thats what we do, LA coach Darryl Sutter said.Saturday marked the fifth anniversary of Sutter, winner of two Stanley Cups, agreeing to coach the Kings.Dean (GM Lombardi) had called me a couple times just to see if I was interested in coaching again, not implying anything. And we talked off and on anyways about different things, Sutter told the LA Times. My intent always was, Id sort of left my window open, but there were only three or four places Id go because I wasnt going just to coach somewhere again.So he left his Viking, Alberta, farm for the job and is still there.The Kings opened this trip with a 6-3 loss at Buffalo and then won 4-1 in the finale at Joe Louis Arena before winning Friday. They have a mandatory day off Monday, visit Columbus on Tuesday and still have to go to Nashville, Dallas, Vancouver and Edmonton before finally playing at home Dec. 31.The Bruins, who had to benefit from two days without a game, host the New York Islanders on Tuesday before a four-game trip and a Dec. 31 return home. The road, however, isnt scary for this Bruins team, which is 9-5-3 away from home.The Kings won both meetings between the teams last season.
