Scott Taylor’s CITI Sports Reports
There were six games in the National Hockey League last night… three Canadian teams were in action…
Calgary 5 Washington 3
Rene Bourque had a goal and two assists to lead the Flames while Steinbach’s Ian White scored his 11th goal and added an assist. The Flames are four points out of the last playoff spot in the West with six to play. Alexander Ovechkin had a goal and an assist and reached the 100-point plateau. He’s had four 100-point seasons in his five in the NHL.
Pittsburgh 5 Toronto 4 (SO)
Sidney Crosby had two goals in regulation and the winner in the shootout. Crosby now leads the NHL with 47 goals. Winnipeg’s Colton Orr scored is third of the year for the Leafs.
St. Louis 2 Edmonton 1
Former Jet Keith Tkachuk scored the winner on his 38th birthday. It was his first goal in 15 games and his 13th of the season. Winnipeg’s Alexander Steen assisted on the winner.
Philadelphia 5 New Jersey 1
Philly snapped a five-game losing streak. Portage’s Arron Asham dished out an assist and had a fight with the best name in hockey Pierre-Luc Letourneau-LeBlonde.
Columbus 4 Chicago 2
San Jose 4 Colorado 3
The injured Joe Thornton missed his first game since Oct. 18, 2005.
The Manitoba Moose return to action tonight against the Heat in Abbotsford, B.C.
Team Canada’s Jennifer Jones finished third at the World Women’s Curling Championship in Swift Current yesterday with a 9-6 win over Sweden in the bronze medal game. Germany beat Scotland 8-6 in 11 ends to win the gold.
It will be Michigan State against Butler at 5:07 p.m. and Duke vs. West Virginia at 8 in the Final Four of the NCAA men’s basketball championship next Saturday in Indianapolis.
And the weather was not very good in the south yesterday. Both the NASCAR race in Martinsville, Va., and the PGA Tour event, the Bay Hill Classic in Orlando, were postponed due to rain. They are slated to go today.
7:15 NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE REPORT
Hi everybody, it’s the Coach Scott Taylor and it’s time now for the 92-CITI-FM National Hockey League Report. Brought to you by MAACO Collision and Auto Painting at 983 Wall Street.
It was just one of those interesting things that happens in the NHL from time to time.
Former Jet Keith Tkachuk scored the winning goal in a 2-1 St. Louis victory over Edmonton on Sunday afternoon on his 38th birthday. It was his first goal in 15 games and his 13th of the season. Winnipeg’s Alexander Steen assisted on that winning. Early in his career Tkachuk benefited from a lot of assists handed out by Alex’s father Thomas. You know you’re getting old when…

5:15 PM COACH’S COMMENTARY
Hi everybody, it’s the coach Scott Taylor and it’s time now for the 92-CITI-FM Afternoon Coach’s Commentary. For Rondex Limited, your 3M-loyal dealer at 177 Isabel Street. Where people, paint and performance come first.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the Free Press’s Saturday story on Premier Greg Selinger’s promise to build a football stadium for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, with Manitoba taxpayers’ money and with or without David Asper’s input.
We know the story is true because the Free Press will always write exactly what the provincial government tells it to write. Still, the story had no follow-up on Sunday and none of the people involved knew anything about the Premier’s plan. Guess we’ll have to wait for the news conference.
