#52162711 / gettyimages.com DW: Whos your favourite player in todays NHL and why?KP: I like watching [Steven] Stamkos; hes big and rangy and has that great release. Hes a player. Offensively hes a threat every time hes on the ice. Its guys like that who are always fun to watch. #479303113 / gettyimages.com DW: If you could choose one team to play for in todays NHL, which team would you pick and why?KP: Probably the LA Kings because theyve had so much success and theyre built for the playoffs. Theyre not a team that has dominated the regular season, but come postseason time theyve been great. They find ways to win games and its always somebody different. Its a unique setup. So ya, probably the LA Kings. #146684222 / gettyimages.com DW: Whats the best prank you ever witnessed pulled in a hockey locker room?KP: The one that I always remember that gives me the greatest chuckle was the time Chris Therien took Daymond Langkows dress shoes, we were in Buffalo, and he had them glued to the ceiling in the locker room. Daymond obviously couldnt get them down because he wasnt tall in stature… even me at 65" wouldnt have been able to get them down! Its just one of those silly pranks. Im not sure where he got the glue or how he got them up there, but he did and it was funny.DW: Whats the most memorable game you ever played in the NHL?KP: I guess the most memorable game would have to be the fifth overtime in Pittsburgh. It was certainly the most memorable goal, back in 2000 in the Eastern Conference Finals. But also, the most memorable game personally might be Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 2004 where I was more involved offensively, I was all over the score sheet, and it was an elimination game we ended up winning. That was a very memorable game for me as well.DW: What is the strangest NHL moment you ever experienced in your career?KP: I dont know if it was a moment… I guess it was a moment in time. 1991 was my second year in the league, it ended up being a strike year, and that year I had gone back and fourth between Adirondack and Detroit literally four or five times. The strike occurred, we went down for the playoffs, got called back up when the strike ended, got sent back down when we ended up losing, and then went on to win the Calder Cup in Adirondack. It was just a very bizarre stretch of about three months in my career. #52409977 / gettyimages.com DW: I know you dropped the gloves against your brother - what was it like to fight a sibling on the NHL stage?KP: It was in the heat of the moment, and on reflection both Wayne and I agreed it wasnt the smartest thing wed ever done and swore it would never happen again. Its something YouTube has resurrected for me and is brought up in a lot of conversations as Im seen around town.DW: If the science behind concussions, and player safety was where it is today, do you think you might have approached the game differently as a player?KP: I dont know if I would, but I would definitely understand it better, so theres the chance that I would have approached it better or differently. The sad thing is, ultimately I cant say that I would have. But I agree that with the heightened awareness and the education thats occurred, certainly people are approaching it much differently than they did even as early as five or ten years ago. #53131589 / gettyimages.com DW: Tell me a little bit about the Stop Concussions Source for Sports Skate Sharpening Day youll take part in Saturday?KP: Source for Sports has been a huge supporter of Stop Concussions and a huge contributor to our growth and ongoing success. Theyve given us much needed resources in order to do the things we do that relates to education, and setting up a platform to stop concussions. One day a year Source For Sports and the participating franchises donate all the proceeds from the skate sharpening in their stores to Stop Concussions. Weve had tremendous success and appreciate all the work Source For Sports does for us.DW: And finally, because were here at BarDown, Im going to have to ask you - can you still go BarDown?KP: Oh ya (laughs)! Im old, slow and fat… but I can still shoot a puck. William Perry Jersey . The seventh-ranked Berdych wants to focus on the ATP Tour after helping the Czechs beat the Netherlands in the first round.

Its been two seasons in one for both parties and neither will look back on the first 18 games fondly. "I think I took the fall for a lot of things," said Gay, reflecting on his short time in Toronto ahead of Wednesdays game against his former club. Walter Payton Jersey . - Mike Zimmer has brought a demanding style to the Minnesota Vikings. Dick Butkus Jersey .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night.ATLANTA -- Christian Bethancourt paid close attention to the Braves hitting woes, even when he was with Triple-A Gwinnett. One day after his recall from the minors, the rookie catcher played a big role in helping the Braves break out of their slump. Bethancourt had three hits in his return to the major leagues, including a fifth-inning single that drove in the go-ahead run in Atlantas 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. "When youre at Triple-A, youre still watching the big guys playing," Bethancourt said. "You follow the numbers, and youre watching every single game. You know the next day, the next hour, youre probably with the big league team and you have to be aware of whats going on." B.J. Upton hit a two-run homer in a three-run second as the Braves ended a 25-inning scoreless streak. "That was a big step," Bethancourt said. "We were able to score a lot of runs after two shutouts in a row. Thats a good step for the team." Atlanta began the day 1 1/2 games behind Milwaukee for the NLs second wild card. Ervin Santana (14-7) won despite allowing four runs and seven hits in six innings. Craig Kimbrel pitched around a leadoff walk to Cesar Hernandez in the ninth for his major league-leading 42nd save in 46 chances. Grady Sizemore hit a two-run homer in the third that tied the score 3-3, and Ben Revere had three hits for his fourth straight multihit game. Atlanta, shut out in three of its previous four games, fell behind on Chase Utleys first-inning sacrifice fly but took a 3-1 lead in the second behind Uptons 10th homer and first since Aug. 8. The Braves had scored one run in their previous 36 innings. All three runs were unearned because of an error by Utley, who allowed Ryan Doumits leadoff grounder to bounce off his glove for an error. Bethancourt, recalled following a six-week demotion, drove in the Braves first run with an infield single in the second and put Atlanta ahead 5-4 with an RBI single in the fifth. Beethancourts status as a top prospect is based largely on his work behind the plate, but he showed offensive potential by hitting .dddddddddddd283 with eight homers and 48 RBIs at Gwinnett. "Theres no question in my mind that defensively this kid is ready to play in the major leagues," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Offensively, hes going to hit and like every young player. When they see enough of him, hes going to have to make some adjustments." Freddie Freeman led off the fifth with a double off Mario Hollands (2-2). Freeman initially was ruled out stretching at second on left fielder Domonic Browns throw to Utley, but Jordan Bakers call was reversed on video review. Bethancourt then singled against Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez, a Cuban who signed last year and who was making his major league debut. HOMECOMING Phillies starter David Buchanan, from Peachtree City, Georgia, and Georgia State, gave up four runs -- one earned -- three hits and four walks in his first game at Atlanta. PLAY OF THE DAY Sizemore made the defensive play of the game by racing toward the right-field foul line for a diving catch of pinch-hitter Gattis fly ball in the eighth. TRAINERS ROOM Philadelphia: Hollands left with what was announced as left elbow soreness. Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said Holland had tightness in his left forearm and may return to Philadelphia to have the arm examined. Atlanta: LF Justin Upton was held out with a bruised left upper arm sustained when hit by a pitch Tuesday. He had treatment and took some swings before the game and the injury is not believed to be serious. UP NEXT Philadelphia: The Phillies are off Thursday before RHP Jerome Williams starts Friday nights series opener at Washington. The Phillies swept three games from the Nationals in Philadelphia last week. Atlanta: The Braves also are off Thursday. RHP Aaron Harang faces RHP Jarred Cosart on Friday night at Miami. Cosart and the Marlins shut out Harang and the Braves 4-0 Saturday.
