WASHINGTON -- Dont look now, but Carey Price is hard to beat when hes angry.Mad at himself, his teammates and everybody for getting pulled the previous night, Price made a statement in his return to the net as the Montreal Canadiens snapped the Washington Capitals winning streak at six with a 2-1 victory Saturday night.Price stopped 20 of the 21 shots he faced in a better effort by the 2014-2015 Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender and his entire team than they displayed Friday in a lackluster loss to the San Jose Sharks.It was important for everybody to get an opportunity to bounce back, said Price, who earned his 17th win of the season and 250th of his NHL career. I didnt have any doubts about the resiliency of our hockey team and the way we would respond.Upon getting yanked for giving up four goals on 18 shots Friday, Price stared down his bench before going down the tunnel. Price explained he was just ticked off and that everything was good between him and coach Michel Therrien.I think were all professionals and were able to realize that hockeys emotional and sometimes youre not going to see eye-to-eye on things, Price said. But at the end of the day you show up to work the next day and get the job done.Price got the job done with big stops on T.J. Oshie, Marcus Johansson and former teammate Lars Eller. His teammates got the job done as Artturi Lehkonen and Jeff Petry scored and the Canadiens blocked 21 shots and contained Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals high-powered offense.Defenseman Shea Weber, who left late in the second period when he took a shot from Washingtons Dmitry Orlov off the right leg, wasnt surprised that Price or anyone else rebounded as strongly as they did.We werent good enough for him last night and we did a lot better job in protecting him and clearing everything out of the way for him tonight, said Weber, who pronounced himself feeling great after the game. Were a tight group in here and everyone wants to be good for each other and theres a responsibility in here and hes one of our teammates and weve got to be a lot better for him.The Capitals couldnt say the same about their play in front of 2015-2016 Vezina winner Braden Holtby, who made 23 saves on 25 shots. Nicklas Backstrom scored a 5-on-3 power play goal for Washington, which lost for the first time since Dec. 3 and in regulation for the first time since Dec. 1.Eller, who was traded from the Canadiens to the Capitals in June, said it was too easy a night for Price.To beat any goalie, you have to get shots, said Eller, referring to a shot drought of 15:22 that lasted from the second period into the third. We made it hard for ourselves.Capitals coach Barry Trotz said before the game that he expected Price to come back and make a statement, adding that If theres one area that I know theyre going to be good tonight, its going be in net. He wasnt wrong about the goaltender he got to know well at the World Cup of Hockey in September.They were defending pretty well and they got one of the best goaltenders in the National Hockey League in Price, Trotz said afterward. Hes been outstanding. We didnt make it hard enough, I thought, on Carey. ... I thought they had a little more bite in their game than we did.Game notesThe Capitals recalled F Zach Sanford from the American Hockey League on Saturday morning as he skated in his first NHL game since Nov. 26. ... Backstroms goal gave him six points in his past six games and 18 in his past 16. ... Canadiens D Nathan Beaulieu was given a 10-minute misconduct for abuse of officials after tapping his stick on the ice and saying something to a referee when coming out of the penalty box following Backstroms goal.UP NEXTCanadiens: Host Anaheim on Tuesday night.Capitals: Off until visiting Philadelphia on Wednesday night.---Follow Hockey Writer Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .Cheap Air Force One China . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

Nike Sb Shoes Near Me .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.Note: These power rankings are based off the last month of major events (any event with five of the top 10 teams) but will be weighted towards more recent results.NORTH AMERICA1. Kings of Urban Kings of Urban take the top spot in our first power rankings with impressive results over Exodus, Retrospect, Genesis, Lucky Bounce, and Goomba Squad. The Kings are the top seed for North America going into the Rocket League Championship Series Live Finals LAN, and if they continue this form it is not hard to see why. Player to watch: Jacob Jacob McDowell.2. Exodus Exodus is a top team in the world and a top team in North America, and yet its shoveled into the number two spot simply due to its inability to beat Kings of Urban. Going into the finals, Exodus certainly looks like a top contender from North America.3. iBUYPOWER COSMIC iBPs is the story of a team that has lost its best player, yet looks ready and confident to continue with a very high level of gameplay. Coming into the finals as a dark horse, iBP will need to make magic happen to cover the loss of Gambit from its roster. Player to watch: Cameron Kronovi Bills.4. Mock-it NA Mock-its North American Division seemed to be on a roll of sorts earlier this month with wins over nearly every single team in these rankings; however, its faltered recently with less-than-stellar results in the past couple of weeks. Still undeniably a top four team, Mock-it looks likely to be a top contender in any tournament.5. Genesis Genesis is the fourth and final team going to the International Finals from North America, but its had a small fall from grace since qualifying. Due to recent losses to Goomba, iBP, and Mock-it NA at tournaments like Rocket Royale, it placed just outside the top four in these rankings. As it is still an incredibly solid team, Genesis could rise back to the top at any time.6. Momentum Momentum is perhaps the most in-form team on the power rankings right now. Seemingly appearing from nowhere a month ago, it has taken the scene by storm with big wins over Lucky Bounce, Kings of Urban, Goomba, Retrospect, and iBP. Its record hasnt been spotless, however; its dropped some sets to teams ranked below it such as Goomba and 2EZ as well as some teams above it such as Exodus. Still, Momentum is the team to watch, and in the next edition of our rankings it could be vying for a top two spot. Player to watch: Chris Dappur Mendoza.7. Foresight Foresight as a team has had its ups and downs, and lately its been more down than up. With losses to Genesis and Exodus, it has only recently started to recover with a convincing win over Galleon (unlisted, ranked ~15th). If it racks up more losses to teams below them, it could quickly drop to a lower rating. If it can turn things around and continue its recovery, it could rocket up this list.8. Lucky Bounce Lucky Bounce had impressive results in the RLCS Qualifier 2 league play, and now its bringing that winning roster back together. The only reason this roster appears so low in the rankings is the teams as-yet-unproven form after the three-week hiatus the players took to explore their options as solo artists. Its highly likely that all three are better together as a band. Player to watch: Jacob Darkfire Gurrola.9. Goomba Squad With a recent win over Genesis and a win over Foresight and Momentum, Goomba has a solid claim for ninth place. That said, Goombas dropped sets against Momentum and Retrospect mean this spot could be a revolving door. Player to watch: Jesse Frezno25 Wentz.10. 2EZ Even with its troubles, 2EZ squeaks into thhese rankings due to Retrospects dissolution and the resulting void to be filled.dddddddddddd. It was in poor form in the latter end of the month, but there was some success earlier this month with a win over Momentum and Galleon. 2EZ will desperately need to improve to stay in these rankings, but for now it just makes it in.Europe1. Northern Gaming Northern Gaming looks like a ridiculously strong team, as in the last week it beat FlipSid3 4-0. The team is looking to be the favorite in the upcoming International Finals and with a high-pressure style it looks unlikely to be beaten for many weeks to come. Player to watch: Marius gReazy Ranheim.2. FlipSid3 Tactics FlipSid3 holds the second spot in these rankings due to its tight head-to-head win over Mock-it Europe 3-2. With that result it managed to secure second, but dont let it fool you; Flipsid3 is not close to We Dem Girlz at the moment and its holding onto this spot by the finest of margins.3. Mock-it EU Mock-it EU sees the opposite side of the coin from FlipSid3. Falling just short of second, it holds onto a comfortable number three spot. With would-be challengers Supersonic Avengers and The Flying Dutchmen losing to teams well below their standing in the power rankings, they really present little threat to Mock-it. Player to watch: Phillip Paschy90 Paschmeyer.4. Supersonic Avengers Supersonic Avengers have had some bad losses recently, particularly to Enjoy. However, considering their win over FlipSid3 in RLCS Qualifier 2 as well as their very close set vs We Dem Girlz, Supersonic Avengers look likely to hold this spot barring any major upsets by lower ranked teams. Again, though, the gap between them and the team above is very noticeable.5. The Flying Dutchmen The Flying Dutchmen are the fourth seed from Europe going into the International Finals and face a very tough matchup vs Kings of Urban. Losing to Cow Nose 2-1 is a very rough result for The Dutchmen, but they hope to bounce back at the International Finals and show that they can rise back to the top four. Player to watch: Jasper Vogan Van Riet.6. Enjoy Enjoy has taken down some of the top teams in recent weeks, including a win over Supersonic Avengers. With results like that it ends up sixth and looks to apply pressure on the Flying Dutchmen.7. Aeriality Aeriality has been steadily rising from a very low level of play in RLCS Qualifier 2. Nevertheless, it qualified for RLCS and competed, so there is nothing but upside for Aeriality as it looks to continue to rise up these ranks.8. Cow Nose Cow Nose is one of the best examples of how contentious the EU rankings are outside of the top three. With a recent 2-1 win over The Flying Dutchmen, it has shown its chops as a team capable of playing in the top 10 of Europe.9. Crown and Jewels Crown and Jewels have a roster that looks terrifying on paper, but just isnt quite there yet. When this roster builds, the synergy that players of this caliber can generate will truly be a force to be reckoned with. Look for this Crown and Jewels roster to slowly climb up these rankings in the future. Player to watch: Kyle Scrubkilla Robertson.10. Extatus Extatus is another roster that cannot really compete at the level of the top three but has shown recently that it can fight in the mosh pit that is Europes 4-10. If it can continue to take games off the teams around it, Extatus could start climbing towards those lofty heights above it soon. ' ' '
