later the Tuscan side found itself further

March 11th, 2014 at 05:16 am

TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger have the latest on security and safety at the Sochi Games, if the NHL is ready to expand video review, who might be available in Edmonton, could Matt Moulson be a member of the Senators, and more. Who might be available and who might be on the move in Edmonton? Darren Dreger: Sam Gagner, we know. Ales Hemsky, we know. Ryan Smyth is expected. Theres no dialog between Craig MacTavish and Ryan Smyth. The belief is that Smyth wants one more crack with a winning team to see if he can win the Stanley Cup. Hes still effective, at least in the offensive zone, so I expect his name will heat up as we get closer to the deadline. Could Matt Moulson be heading to Ottawa? Pierre LeBrun: Matt Moulson will be a very popular name as the March deadline approaches. We know hes one of the guys the LA Kings are looking at, but the Ottawa Senators are another team. A little bit of a connection with the Senators, as GM Bryan Murrays nephew Tim Murray is now GM in Buffalo. Moulsons a guy that if the Senators can stay in the playoff mix over the next few weeks, I believe they will make inquiries on him. Might Thomas Vanek, who was part of the Moulson trade, re-sign on Long Island? LeBrun: He has liked it on Long Island a lot more than he thought he would. You hear these stories about the Islanders and playing in a bad rink but Vanek has really enjoyed his time there. He loves playing with John Tavares and he likes the way hes been treated by Garth Snow, so hes got a big decision to make. I think at the end of the day hes still going to go to free agency, which makes him force the hand of Snow. For Snow, thats the number one priority; to sign Vanek before the trade deadline. How big an issue is security and safety at the Sochi Olympics? Dreger: It is a concerning issue. The threat of terrorism always is going to be concerning for a world spectacle such as this and thats not lost on neither the Players Association and National Hockey League. Both will tell you that their guest list, be it family or friends, is reducing on a week-by-week basis leading up to the Olympic Games but the NHL is confident that their safety will be insured by the Russian government and the International Olympic Organization. But if there were significant terrorist attempts or attacks prior to the Olympics in Sochi, I think that the NHL and the NHLPA also wouldnt hesitate to remove themselves from the Games. Is the NHL ready to expand video review and when? LeBrun: I think more than ever. Its all about timing and I can tell you right now that its on the GMs agenda in March when they will again tackle this. But this time, I think the league might finally get its way. We know that hockey operations has wanted to expand video review for a long time and if they get their way this year, not only will they get it moving forward but maybe even for the playoffs if they can get the owners and the NHLPA to sign off. Lots of "ifs" but certainly theres a different movement here. Bob McKenzie: I believe that Detroit goal on Saturday night was the tipping point for general managers. GMs in the past have overwhelmingly been against expanding video review but after Saturday night, I surveyed 23 NHL GMs and 22 of them said we cannot have a repeat of what happened on Saturday night. The one GM who didnt say that said they have to discuss what theyre going to do. Now, how exactly they go about that is the controversial aspect. Some guys want the coachs challenge, some guys want it only to be on the very specific play where a puck comes off the mesh, and some guys want the referees to be able to review it at the penalty bench. Its all over the map and how they process this is the controversial aspect to it. But after that goal that was scored on Saturday night, many general managers said could you imagine if the Stanley Cup was decided on a goal like that. Does anything come of Sens owner Eugene Melnyk presenting the NHL Matt Cooke investigation evidence? McKenzie: No, it doesnt. When this incident happened last season, Melnyk said that he believed in his heart that Cooke had malice and intentionally severed the tendon of Erik Karlsson. He said afterwards he was going to prove it and talked about a forensic investigation. He spent a lot of time, effort and money and put together a fully detailed medical report and presented that to the NHL in New York City on Monday. Theres not going to be any retroactive justice here, but Eugene Melnyk had his day in court, so to speak, and did what he said he was going to do.

It was Inters second league win in a row and lifts it to 15th spot in the Serie A standings, four points off the bottom three. Siena striker Franco Brienza was sent off seconds after the goal. Inter leapfrogs Fiorentina, which lost 2-0 at Palermo, following goals from Fabrizio Miccoli and Josip Ilicic. Fiorentina also had Cesare Natali dismissed in the final minutes after he picked up a second yellow card for dissent. Cesena beat Bologna for its first victory of the season last week and Adrian Mutus double saw his team win again as a 2-0 triumph against Genoa pushed it off the foot of the table. Elsewhere, Cagliari drew 1-1 with Bologna. Inter is 11 points behind Serie A leader Juventus, which also has a game in hand, but coach Claudio Ranieri has not given up hope of making up lost ground. "I dont know if now were back in it," Ranieri said. "I said this game was important because theyre all finals for us. We have to always look to win. It will be very difficult but thats our aim. "On one side theres a team which has won everything and on the other a team which wants to return to winning always. Juventus has been out of the title race for a few years. This year, after spending the right money and buying the right players, theyre deservedly back in it." Inter was desperately seeking a victory following just one win its past three league games. But they had few chances in a drab match at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Claudio Ranieris team should have taken the lead on the half hour mark. Siena goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic flapped at a corner and the ball fell to Walter Samuel, who woefully mis-hit his shot across goal. It could have been worse for Inter as Siena immediately counterattacked. But Brienzas finishing touch flew inches over the crossbar. Inter snatched all three points right at the death. Thiago Motta found Castaignos in the middle of the area and the Dutch youngster managed to squeeze a shot in between two Siena defenders for his first goal in Inter colours. Brienza received a second yellow and his marching oorders in stoppage time for dissent.dddddddddddd Cesena also managed to record a second consecutive victory. Genoa missed several chances to take the lead, most notably when Rodrigo Palacio passed instead of shooting when one on one with Cesena goalkeeper Francesco Antonioli and the ball was scrambled to safety. It was to rue its missed opportunities as Cesena was awarded a penalty in the 70th minute after Emiliano Moretti fouled Erjon Bogdani. Mutu stepped up and cheekily looped his spot-kick over the diving Sebastien Frey. Mutu doubled his tally 10 minutes later with a stunning 25-yard strike into the top right corner, which gave Frey no chance. Cesena moves into 19th in the standings and now has a point more than Lecce which takes over bottom spot. Fiorentina is closer to being sucked into a relegation battle after it lost 2-0 at Palermo. Miccoli beat the offside trap in the 22nd minute to give the home side the lead. The Palermo captain timed his run to perfection as he raced onto Ilicics through ball on toward goal, chased by Alessandro Gamberini, before slotting home. It was Miccolis fourth goal this season and the sight of him being stretchered off at the end of the first half after complaining of a right knee problem will be a worry for Palermo. Fiorentina came close to levelling when Natali hit the crossbar in the 70th. Just three minutes later the Tuscan side found itself further behind when Ilicic fired a stunning free-kick into the top right corner from over 25 yards out. It was Palermos sixth consecutive home victory and sees it move into sixth in the table, six points behind leader Juventus which has a game in hand. Cagliari and Bologna had to settle for a 1-1 draw which will please neither of the struggling sides. Cagliari gifted Bologna the lead in the 75th minute. Cagliari captain Daniele Conti cleared a cross but only as far as Marco Di Vaio, who lashed it home from close range. Conti atoned for his error six minutes later after he was fouled by Nicolo Cherubin in the area. He stepped up to the spot and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to ensure Cagliari a share of the spoils. Bologna is a point off the bottom three, with Cagliari just three points further ahead.
