ST. Bruins Jerseys 2020 . MORITZ, Switzerland – Skiing with less pressure after setting the all-time record for World Cup wins, Lindsey Vonn placed fifth in a downhill training run on Friday.That was just fine for the American who will start as favourite on Saturday after winning three of five races in the glamor Alpine event this season.I definitely feel like theres no pressure, Vonn said after a practice run won by Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein. Everyone was just talking about the record, talking about the record.The 62-win mark set in 1980 by Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proell was tied and passed in quick order as Vonn won a downhill last Sunday and a super-G on Monday at Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy.Both of Vonns specialist speed events are scheduled this weekend at St. Moritz in the last World Cup races before her hometown world championships open on Feb. 2 at Vail-Beaver Creek, Colorado.Now I feel really relaxed, she said. (On Saturday) I have a few mistakes that I can fix and definitely will ski more aggressively, so hopefully that will be enough.Even those mistakes left Vonn, who was fastest in practice on Thursday, just 0.79 seconds behind Weirather on the new Engiadina course most racers are seeing for the first time.Anna Fenninger, the defending overall World Cup champion, was second, trailing by 0.11. Another Austrian, Elisabeth Goergl, was third, 0.44 behind Weirather.Larisa Yurkiw of Owen Sound, Ont., was tied for 26th.The womens track has been designed with the 2017 worlds in mind.Its important this weekend to get a feeling for the course going forward to the 2017 world championships. So far its going well, said Vonn, who won downhill and super-G races on the old, adjoining course.Its a little bit easier, she said of the new track tracing down a bare mountain above the tree line. It has more terrain in it but its also not quite as steep in some sections. You can definitely make some dynamic turns, you have to be a good glider.Either way I like it, its fun, said Vonn, who was smiling plenty.Race organizers had problems hours after racers left the venue Friday when four course workers triggered a small avalanche near the start.None of the volunteers were injured though one was taken to a hospital for further examination, said Martin Berthod of the organizing committee.A planned ceremony Saturday morning to inaugurate the new womens start was cancelled. Fake Bruins Jerseys . On Monday night, many fans in this city placed the blame squarely on the captain for his role in the James Neal overtime winner against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Stitched Bruins Jerseys . Sources tell TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger that the team is quietly gauging interest on the Senators captain, though Spezza has a limited no-trade clause and carries a large contract. OAKLAND, Calif. — Maybe it was Andre Iguodalas presence in the starting lineup. Maybe it was coach Mark Jackson publicly challenging his players. Or maybe it was simply facing an undermanned opponent at home. Whatever the reason, the Golden State Warriors finally started to look like the team that started off so strong this season. Stephen Curry had 28 points and 12 assists, David Lee added 21 points and 17 rebounds and the Warriors beat the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans 104-93 on Tuesday night in Iguodalas long-awaited return. „Hes a guy that makes life so much easier for everybody on the floor,“ Jackson said. „His ability to make plays, his ability to read and react, we missed him. Glad to have him back. And then there was a carryover effect.“ Iguodala finished with two points and two assists in 17 minutes after missing the previous 12 games with a left hamstring injury. The Warriors led by 10 points in the first quarter, 18 at halftime and 26 late in the third quarter. Golden State, which is 9-2 with its regular starters in the lineup, never trailed. „I felt good. I got tired of watching,“ said Iguodala, who was 1-for-4 shooting. „You get a new appreciation for the game, especially seeing your brothers struggle. I thought it was a great game by everyone.“ The Warriors outshot the Pelicans 45.1 to 37.5 per cent and outrebounded them 58 to 44 to control the game — for the most part — from start to finish. New Orleans made a brief run in the fourth quarter against Golden States backups before the starters returned and restored order. The Pelicans played without injured starters Anthony Davis (broken left hand) and Tyreke Evans (sprained left ankle). Ryan Anderson had 21 points and six rebounds and Jason Smith scored 12 for New Orleans, which has lost its first two games of a five-game trip. „Just a bad game from the start,“ Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. The Warriors went 5-7 after Iguodala injured his hamstring Nov. 22, losing three of their last four games. They had especially struggled on defence, though the problems extended beyond Iguodalas absence. Jackson even called out his players for a lack of effort aafter a loss at Phoenix on Sunday, saying „I am finding that the guys in the suit and tie want it more than the guys in uniform. Wholesale Bruins Jerseys. “ After a string of slow starts during its recent slide, Golden State opened the game against New Orleans with the kind of heart and hustle Jackson has wanted from his team. The Warriors dominated at both ends of the floor in a near-flawless first quarter. About the only blemish in the period came when Harrison Barnes suffered a left eye lid abrasion and was poked in the eye inadvertently by Lou Amundson going for a rebound. He returned a few minutes later. The Pelicans played mostly on the perimeter and got nothing going offensively. The misses gave the Warriors several fast-break opportunities, and they took advantage of them throughout. Iguodala punctuated the fast start when he finished an alley-oop from Curry late in the second quarter for his only basket, sending most of the announced sellout crowd of 19,596 roaring to its feet. Two possessions later, Curry followed with a layup through traffic to give Golden State a 57-39 lead at the half. „Just a tough game. Another one of those that they just had a little bit more energy than us,“ Anderson said. The Warriors went ahead by 26 points late in the third quarter, and Iguodala nearly pulled off one of the highlights of the season during the run: He dribbled to his right, faked a behind-the-back pass, bounced the ball through the legs, then cuffed it with his right hand and tried to dunk over Smith — but missed off the back iron. Klay Thompson scored 16 points and Andrew Bogut added eight points and 10 rebounds for the Warriors. The only rally New Orleans put together came against the bottom of the Warriors bench. The Pelicans sliced Golden States lead to 93-80 with 6:02 remaining before Jackson put all of his starters except Iguodala back in to regain control. „This team was challenged by our coach,“ Lee said, „and we knew this we as a game we needed to have.“ NOTES: Golden State has won six straight against New Orleans. … Curry has scored 20 points or more in a career-best 11 straight games. … New Orleans is 3-4 since Davis broke his hand Dec. 1. ‚ ‚ ‚
