CALGARY – Steven Stamkos is the most prolific goal scorer in the NHL today. He has 185 goals over the last four seasons (294 games). Nobody has scored more during that stretch. In fact, its not even close as Alexander Ovechkin is second with 152 goals. But there is one situation in which the Tampa Bay Lightning forward has failed to put the puck in the net on a regular basis: the shootout. Stamkos has converted on just five of 27 career chances (18.5%). "Its something that, a lot of the time, is a mental thing," Stamkos explained. "When things dont go your way, you have negative thoughts heading into your next shot so its definitely something Im aware of and would love to obviously get better at." Stamkos missed on both his attempts last season and has found the back of the net just once in his last 13 attempts overall. "You skate toward the net in a game and theres a guy chasing you and you dont think about it and you score and you say, Why cant I do that in a shootout? Well, in a shootout everyones eyes are on you. The games on the line. You have more time to think. Almost too much time to think so for me its more of a mental thing and hopefully being a little more successful early on in the season will allow me to get some confidence." In the regular season, a missed shootout attempt may lead to a missed bonus point in this era of three-point games. But at the Olympics, a missed shootout attempt may lead to elimination. Dominik Hasek, for example, stopped all five Canadian shooters during the 1998 Olympic semi-finals in Nagano, allowing the Czech Republic to advance on the strength of Robert Reichels goal. That happened before the NHL implemented extra shots as a tie-breaking method. Now the Canadian staff will have a fairly good idea of who is up to the job should a shootout be required. And head coach Mike Babcock will have a number of solid options. Among the 47 players invited to this weeks orientation camp, here are the top shootout performers: Jonathan Toews - 49% (27/55) Sidney Crosby - 43% (23/54)James Neal - 41% (14/34)Chris Kunitz - 41% (13/32)Claude Giroux - 41% (12/29)Rick Nash - 39% (29/74)Jordan Eberle - 39% (9/23)Ryan Getzlaf - 38% (21/55)Andrew Ladd - 38% (6/16)Logan Couture - 37% (7/19) Stamkos ranks 20th on the list and based on that, Babcock may choose to leave him out of any shootout. NHL on TSN analysts Dave Reid and Mike Johnson debated who should get the call for Canada in an Olympic shootout during a recent episode of Thats Hockey. Reid included Stamkos on his list despite his poor track record arguing that you simply cant leave the NHLs top goal scorer on the bench in that situation. Wayne Gretzky, of course, was left off the shootout roster in Nagano, which led to plenty of questions back home. So if Babcock did call on him, would Stamkos be eager for the chance? "Yeah, everyone wants to be a hero," he said. "Theres obviously a lot of pressure, but you have to kind of run with it and hopefully you dont have to be put in that situation, because youve won the game before that, but its definitely something everyone would want to do." The 23-year-old doesnt see an easy fix when it comes to this mental block. "Its just something you have to overcome so it obviously doesnt happen overnight." Nike Shox Nz 3 o Leven Foot Locker .

Nike Blazer Mid Online En España .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.The big story this week was Jameis Winston moving into the contenders fray at the expense of Tajh Boyd, while Marcus Mariota may have done enough to take the Heisman Watch lead. Winston had perhaps the statement game of the season in Florida States crucial ACC win over Boyd and the rival Clemson Tigers. The redshirt freshman was outstanding in throwing for 44 yards and scoring a combined four touchdowns against the previously third-ranked Tigers. The win vaulted the Seminoles to a surprising second in the first installment of the BCS rankings this season; if Winston continues his strong play Florida State could be playing for their first National Title since 1999. On the other side of the field, Clemsons National Title hopes were all but dashed, along with Boyds Heisman hopes. Boyd played so poorly in the spotlight against FSU, completing less than half his passes for just 156 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, that he likely wont see his name in this column any more moving forward (not that hes looking). Meanwhile out west, Mariota continued his Heisman Trophy caliber season as the Oregon Ducks hammered Washington State. The redshirt sophomore improved his season numbers with nearly 400 combined yards and three combined scores against the Cougars. Mariota has been destroying lesser competition all year but wont be able to lock up the award until he proves he can do it against solid competition. The Ducks weak schedule hasnt been lost on the BCS either, as Oregon was a surprisse No.dddddddddddd 3 in the first rankings behind Alabama and Florida State. The next two weeks are vital to both Mariotas and Oregons chances however, as they host the 12th-ranked UCLA Bruins before traveling to the fifth-ranked Stanford Cardinal. Two more impressive showings and the Heisman Trophy may be won after just 10 weeks of the season. Week 7 was chock full of upsets and while none hurt a players Heisman chances more than Boyds, Louisville and Texas A&M suffered losses damaging Teddy Bridgewaters and Johnny Manziels chances at the most coveted trophy in collegiate sports. Bridgewater had a decent game last weekend, throwing for 341 yards and two touchdowns, and while it was the defence that let the Cardinals down more than anything, Bridgewater needed to be almost perfect all season to have a shot at the Heisman because of Louisvilles weak schedule. Bridgewater cant say hes perfect anymore. Manziel meanwhile is still very much in the race for his second straight Heisman but certainly saw a few players surpass him in the race as the Aggies fell to Auburn in a big SEC clash. Manziel combined for more than 500 yards and five scores before getting injured (hes expected back for Week 8) but the loss hurt his chances nonetheless (not as much as it hurt A&Ms National Title chances however.) Other fringe candidates to keep an eye on moving forward include tailbacks Lache Seastrunk from Baylor and Bishop Sankey from Washington, and QB Derek Carr from Fresno State.
