COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Columbus Blue Jackets again showed the resilience they often displayed last year during the best season in franchise history. John Lynch Buccaneers Jersey .Cam Atkinson and Ryan Johansen scored in the shootout to lift the Blue Jackets to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night for their sixth straight win.Columbus recovered after scoring twice in the third period to take the lead and then giving up the tying goal with 11 seconds remaining.That was kind of our M.O. last year, Columbus coach Todd Richards said. The resiliency, finding a way. Through these six games, I think weve found different ways to win hockey games.Sergei Bobrovsky had 33 saves through overtime, then stopped Evgeni Malkin and Brandon Sutter in the tiebreaker to preserve the win.Nick Foligno, Boone Jenner and Jack Johnson scored in regulation for the Blue Jackets. Jenners score came on a penalty shot with 7:55 remaining in the third period. David Savard added two assists for Columbus, which has gone beyond regulation in four of their wins during their streak.This was the teams first meeting since the Penguins beat the Blue Jackets in six games in the first round of the playoffs last season.Thats still in your mind, Jenner said. Doing those handshakes after Game 6. Its always in your mind. It doesnt go away. To play them here the first time this year, the crowd was electric.Kris Letang had two goals — including the tying score with 11 seconds remaining in regulation — and Blake Comeau also scored for the Penguins, and Thomas Greiss finished with 24 saves. Letang also scored in the shootout.Pittsburgh was without star Sidney Crosby for a second straight game because of swelling to the right side of his face that team officials said doesnt appear to be mumps as they await results from additional tests.The Penguins came in 10-1-1 in their last 12 regular season games against the Blue Jackets, including a 5-0 mark last season.Letangs short-handed goal gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead at 7:22 of the third as he scored on a 2-on-1 break with a high flick shot over Bobrovsky.As the game went along, physically we met the challenge and we started to take over the game, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said. Puck possession-wise through the last half of the game it was certainly in our favour.Columbus countered with two goals in 5:44 to take the lead. After being hauled down on a break by Simon Depres, Jenner beat Greiss with a shot under his blocker on a penalty shot for his sixth goal of the season.Then with the teams skating 4-on-4, Johnson followed with a shot from the left circle into the far corner of the net to make it 3-2 with 3:11 remaining.Pittsburgh kept pushing down the stretch. With Greiss pulled for an extra attacker, Columbus twice was called for icing with under 25.5 seconds left bringing the face off back into the Blue Jackets zone. Letang finally made took advantage with a one-timer from the left circle for his seventh goal.I think we played really well in the third period, Letang said. We were after them and dictating the play. We deserved the point.The Blue Jackets jumped ahead 1-0 on the power play at 3:02 of the first period partly because a series of odd bounces that put Pittsburgh flat-footed. Jenner got a step and fed a centring pass to Foligno, who stopped it with his skate before snapping home his team-best 14th into an open net.Throughout the period there were hard checks all over the ice, culminating with two simultaneous fights with just under 5 minutes to go set off by Columbus Brandon Dubinksy charging Steve Downie hard into the boards near the Pittsburgh bench. Veteran Jordan Leopold and Penguins call-up Bobby Farnham, playing his first NHL game, continued to punch as they fell and rolled along the ice. Downie and Dalton Prout scuffled near the glass.It was a hard fought win and it feels good, Jenner said.Pittsburgh tied the score with 4:54 left in the period when Comeau ripped a high shot from the left circle past Bobrovsky for his 11th.Weve got to be happy with the overall effort, Foligno said. I thought everybody was outstanding. The fights, the emotion and the solid play again from Bob and then the timely goals. Were coming around and playing the right way.NOTES: Both teams are dealing with a slew of injury issues. Columbus is the league leader in man-games lost and has six players out. Pittsburgh has seven players sidelined, headlined by Crosby. ... Todd Richards coached his 200th game for the Blue Jackets. M.J. Stewart Buccaneers Jersey . Hes just beginning to get similar results. The right-hander struggled after winning the honour in 2008 and 2009, but a retooling of his game has begun to pay off and has the San Francisco Giants thinking about the Lincecum of old. Ryan Jensen Buccaneers Jersey . Jones took a beating, the worst one of his record reign, in a bout against Alexander Gustafsson that knocked the light heavyweight champion on the canvas for the first time in his career and put his belt in jeopardy. http://www.authenticbuccaneersstoreonline....-Womens-Jersey/ . In mens doubles, Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil and American Jack Sock reached the quarter-finals with a 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3), 6-4 win over Croatian Mate Pavic and Andre Sa of Brazil.On Monday, Alex Rodriguez filed his lawsuit in U.S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA. Ultimately, the big point of the lawsuit is to get a judge to set aside A-Rods 162-game suspension so he can play this upcoming season. As I wrote here, that wont happen. Judges are very reluctant to overturn the decisions of arbitrators unless the arbitrators make decisions that are nuts, crazy and out in left field. They are especially reluctant when the arbitrator is seasoned and well-respected, which is the case here with Fredric Horowitz. In his court document, A-Rod is arguing that the suspension was "wholly unjustified" and "baseless." Horowitz, however, relied on a lot of evidence to come to the conclusion that there was a reasonable basis for the suspension. Horowitz found that the evidence confirmed that A-Rod used three different types of PEDs over three years between 2010 and 2012: testosterone, IGF-1 and HGH. In fact, Horowitz wrote that the "only reasonable inference to be drawn from the weight of the evidence" is that A-Rod cheated. Horowitz also found that A-Rod tried to destroy evidence and bribe Tony Bosch, the founder of Biogenesis and the key witness in all of this. On this basis, Horowitz wrote that "deliberate efforts to obstruct an MLB investigation" or to "cover-up misconduct" can subject a player to further discipline. So in suspending A-Rod for 162 games plus playoffs, Horowitz ruled that there was "clear and convincing evidence" that A-Rod used or possessed PEDs over the course of three years and also, on at least two occasions, obstructed MLBs investigation. While the "length of the suspension may be unprecedented," concluded Horowitz, "so is the misconduct he committed." So A-Rods likelihood of success in getting his suspension overturned by the court is between zero to five per cent - and probably closer to zero per cent. I just dont see it happening. Now on to another part of the lawsuit: A-Rod is also suing the MLBPA. Basically, he is alleging that the union didnt have his back. Specifically, A-Rod says the union breached its legal duty to fairly represent his interest against MLB. How you ask? A-Rod cited a few examples: (1) The Drug Policy provides that most of the information surrounding a suspension is confidential and cannot be made publlic. Alex Cappa Buccaneers Jersey. Despite that, A-Rod argues, information was continually leaked to the public. Rather than challenge these leaks, the union "sat on its hands". (2) MLB filed a "sham lawsuit" against Bosch. The lawsuit, he argues, had no merit and the real reason for it was to force Bosch to cooperate with MLB. It worked and Bosch spilled the PED beans. A-Rod says the union should have challenged the lawsuit. (3) MLB bought evidence and according to A-Rod engaged in heavy handed investigation techniques. Rather than take issue with that, the MLBPA did nothing. (4) The former head of the MLBPA made public statements strongly suggesting that A-Rod took PEDs. Mr. Weiner said this on Chris Russos radio show: "based on the evidence we saw, we made a recommendation" that he accept a suspension. A-Rod says that Mr. Weiner acted against his best interests, which is a breach of the duty of fair representation. By the way, the MLBPA took very serious issue with A-Rod attacking Mr. Weiner. He passed away in November from an inoperable brain tumor and was beloved and respected by everyone - including his adversary MLB. While A-Rod may be taking issue with his own union, ultimately this will not have an impact on whether his suspension gets reduced. Thats a separate issue focused on whether there is just cause for the suspension. Whatever duties his union did or did not discharge wont be relevant. As for what is next, I expect the judge in short order to rule he wont touch the suspension and as a result A-Rod will miss the entire 2014 season. After that, the Yankees will likely buy out the last two years of his deal and A-Rod will never play major league baseball again. Apart from being 39-years old when his suspension will be done, hes also toxic; no team will touch him. A-Rod has burned a lot of bridges: Yankees, MLB and the union. On top of that, hes admitted to doing PEDs between 2001 and 2003, and according to the Horowitz decision, he did PEDs from 2010 to 2012. The assumption may well be that A-Rod took PEDs for most of his career. Whether fair or not, for many he has lost the benefit of the doubt, and as a result the legitimacy of his numbers will be forever questioned. As we watch the final chapter in the A-Rod saga unfold, there is a growing sense that A-Rod may become a pariah unwelcome in any baseball circles. His relationship with baseball may be coming to a decisive end.
