Matthews snatched it up near center ice, foun from corse178's blog

TORONTO -- For two months, WWE set forth on a buildup for the ages ahead of Sundays rematch between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, more than 12 years in the making. Comprar Nike Free 5.0 Baratas .Many wondered if the man himself, 49-year-old Bill Goldberg, could still prove to be a believable and strong enough opponent for Lesnar, the former UFC champion, in their main event at WWEs Survivor Series pay-per-view.?The consensus was that Lesnar, 39, would inflict a tremendous amount of damage and ultimately do what he had done since returning to the WWE in 2012 -- record lopsided victories over the biggest names in the company, including?The Undertaker (which ended his unbeaten Wrestlemania streak at 21) and John Cena.In 1 minute, 26 seconds -- the exact amount of time it took Goldberg to pin Lesnar -- it became clear that wouldnt be the case.A sold-out crowd at the Air Canada Centre, who were on their feet cheering during Goldbergs classic entrance, appeared hungry for an epic (and violent) throwdown following a buildup in which Lesnar and Goldberg didnt make contact once on Raw.It certainly started off that way, as Lesnar carried Goldberg into the corner, but from the moment Goldberg shoved back and put Lesnar on his back, it was clear something else was at hand. After the momentary shock on Lesnars face wore off, Goldberg hit a spear. He would soon hit a second, and then did what some thought would be impossible -- he got Lesnar up for his Jackhammer finishing move.While this opening sequence shocked most in attendance, the collective crowd expected that with more than a half-hour left in the scheduled show, this was just a way to make Lesnar look vulnerable. Technically, it was -- as Lesnar proved so vulnerable, Goldberg recorded the same kind of squash victory that made him famous during his scripted 173-bout winning streak at his peak in WCW in the late 1990s.With the crowd in shock -- many of them still chanting for Goldberg, expecting something else to happen in the meantime -- Goldberg celebrated and even carried his 10-year-old son, Gage, into the ring. When it became clear this was the end of the show, a smattering of boos filled the arena as the in-house announcer, JoJo, hyped this weeks episode of Raw, which takes place in the same building on Monday night.The match was expected to be a one-shot deal for the long-retired Goldberg, who hadnt appeared in a pro wrestling ring since his 2004 victory over Lesnar at WrestleMania XX, and returned to WWE after agreeing to be a downloadable character in the WWE 2K17 video game. Now, the feud appears to have legs as Sundays rematch could prove to be the launching point toward a third meeting in the near future, whether that be the Royal Rumble in January or WrestleMania 33 in April.?It will be interesting to see whether the fallout of such a decisive loss to a man one month shy of 50 has a negative effect on Lesnars character, considering how destructive and unbeatable he has been presented in recent years. One thing is for sure, WWE 2K17 got the match and hype it wanted with this return match, despite the fact that it ended very much the same way the first Goldberg-Lesnar showdown did -- with a sour taste in the mouths of many fans.For full match recaps and ratings from Survivor Series, click here. Nike Blazer Low Baratas .

TORONTO -- Auston Matthews checked his phone before his NHL debut and came across text messages from former teammates. It wasnt exactly encouragement. The Toronto newcomer was in their fantasy hockey lineups.Hopefully, I did all right, the 19-year-old said a day later.Fantasy hockey owners would indeed be proud. Matthews became the first player in modern NHL history to score four goals in his debut, a 5-4 overtime loss at Ottawa on Wednesday night. He scored his fourth goal with three seconds to go in the second period.Hes going to have great nights down the road, Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly said Thursday. But this one will be one that hell remember for a long time.It took less than 10 minutes for Matthews, the first player picked No. 1 overall by the Leafs in 31 years, to find the back of the net.The play started with two nifty dekes by 20-year-old William Nylander just inside the Ottawa zone. He danced around Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki and then flung a pass into the middle for Matthews, his shot attempt squirting just wide of the goal. It was eventually claimed behind the net by Zach Hyman, the third member of Torontos all-rookie line.I tried to just pick it up and I saw Auston, and I just threw it back in front and he was there, Hyman recounted.Matthews quickly fired a shot past Ottawa goaltender?Craig Anderson?steps outside the crease, Senators defender Chris Wideman just a second late in tying him up.After Ottawa scored twice in less than two minutes, Matthews struck again on the most eye-catching goal of the evening.Hyman, 24, took the action in from steps away like an astounded fan.Theres so many little things on that play that I think most guys cant do, and he did it all in one play, Hyman said. The puck was in the net pretty quick.Matthews gained control of the puck in the neutral zone, slipping it through the legs of a helpless Mike Hoffman. He whirled into the offensive zone and lost control of the puck briefly, Senators captain Erik Karlsson temporarily taking hold of it along the boards. Undeterred, Matthews dodged a check from Hoffman and before Karlsson, a former Norris Trophy winner, had a chance to make a play, lifted his stick, swiped the puck back and attacked the crease.Perhaps missed on first glance was the slight whack MMatthews gave Karlsson on the left leg, an attempt to make the defenseman think he was coming from the left instead of the right. Comprar Nike Free Run 2. He then got a quick shot under Andersons glove seconds before Marc Methot could drop to the ice and break up the play.Just a couple puck battles, Matthews said. I think I was able to sneak by my check there and catch Karlsson off-guard and [then] was able to just pick the puck, go in and slide it 5-hole there.Watching it unfold, Hyman thought: Hes a good player.Matthews completed his hat trick 1:25 into the second period on his third shot of the game.Rielly instigated the action, veering into the offensive zone with speed before he was steered into the left corner by Ottawas defense. He nonetheless managed to thread a pass through a sea of skates to Matthews, wide open in the right faceoff circle.Rielly said he knew Matthews was there the whole time and was only able to get the pass through all that interference because of his teammates positioning.He changed his speed, and he went into a good spot where I was able to get it to him, Rielly said. If he had just driven the net like most guys do, I dont think it wouldve worked. But he stopped up and he made his blade available, and thats what happened.Matthews fourth and fifth shot attempts were denied, but a fourth goal arrived in the waning moments of the second period.With 9.7 seconds left and the score tied 3-3, Jake Gardiner lofted an outlet from the Toronto zone past a leaping?Derick Brassard. Matthews snatched it up near center ice, found Nylander and then took off to the front of the net. Nylander slid a pass just under the stick of Wideman, the only defenseman back for Ottawa.I just put it there, and then he put it in, Nylander said.It was the finishing touch on history.Matthews said he would give the four pucks from his debut to his mother, Ema.I think just playing in your first NHL game, you know its going to be a special night, said Matthews, already looking ahead to Torontos home opener against Boston on Saturday night. Just going out there and getting your first taste of the NHL and living your dream right there, its pretty special. 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 ' ' '
