Gilde "Austria Red Devils" » a laugh from some of the stuff you

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins are blessed with not one but two goalies who have won the Stanley Cup in the last seven seasons. Not surprisingly, coach Mike Sullivan has declined to designate one or the other as the starter.As well as Matt Murray is playing, and as uncharacteristically poorly as Marc-Andre Fleury is playing, Sullivan might have no choice but to soon give a majority of the starts to Murray.For the second time in five days, Fleury was worked over Friday in a blowout loss. He gave up an opening-minute goal to Charlie Coyle of Minnesota -- one of Coyles two goals in the first period -- and the Wild went on to the second dominant win over the Penguins in as many games this season, a 6-2 decision that, at times, didnt look to be that close.Usually that doesnt faze us, Fleury said of giving up a quick, early goal. Were a good enough team to come back.Only this time they werent. While Sullivan suggested his teammates didnt give Fleury much help, its all but certain that Murray -- off to a 6-1 start this season -- will get the call when the Penguins (12-6-3) return home Saturday night to play the New Jersey Devils (10-6-4) at PPG Paints Arena.The Devils are off to a solid start, and are looking like a potential playoff team as the quarter pole of their season approaches despite a 5-4 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night. Detroit defenseman Mike Greene scored the game-winning goal with 1:42 remaining in overtime, beating goalie Cory Schneider, who made 28 saves.With both teams playing on back-to-back nights, its likely that the Devils will turn to backup goalie Keith Kincaid (2-1-1) on Saturday night.Well take the point and hope to be better (Saturday) for sure, said Devils coach John Hynes, who, like Sullivan, once coached the Penguins top farm club in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.Sullivan is parceling out goalie starts carefully, trying to make sure both Murray -- who won the Cup for him as a rookie last season -- and Fleury remain sharp and get regular work.But the more each goalie plays, the more disparate their statistics become. The Penguins have lost eight of the 14 starts made by Fleury (6-5-3), who has a 3.38 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. Fleury has permitted three or more goals in six of his last seven starts.We werent a lot of help to him, captain Sidney Crosby said after the Wild scored on three of four power-play opportunities. We gave them some good really scoring chances. Not just your typical scoring chances but some really good looks. And we cant allow that to happen.Murray, by contrast, is 6-1 with a 1.57 goals-against average and a .945 save percentage. He gave up no more than two goals in each of his last four starts.The Penguins, however, have given up 11 goals in Fleurys last two starts, including a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers on home ice Monday night, Sullivan wouldnt fault his goalie following a second successive loss to Minnesota, who also beat the Penguins 4-2 in Pittsburgh on Nov. 10.I thought we put him in a tough spot, Sullivan said of Fleury, who was in net for the Penguins Cup run in 2009. The goals they got, they got grade A scoring chances. The type of saves he had to make were high quality. So I think we put him in a lot of the circumstances.Still, Fleury said, Its frustrating to give up that many goals. There were a few I should have stopped.Sullivan seems more concerned with the overall unpredictable play of his entire team than he is any lack of steadiness by Fleury. The Penguins followed up that Monday night loss by beating up on the Rangers 6-1 Wednesday at Madison Square Garden, only to look unready to play against the Wild despite a Thanksgiving Day practice in Minnesota.Its hard for me to explain it, Sullivan said. If I could explain it, I could probably solve it. Its been something that is part of our game for the first 20 games.Two former Penguins players -- defenseman Ben Lovejoy and forward Beau Bennett -- will be with the Devils as the teams meet for the first time this season. Former Penguins general manager Ray Shero, who helped assemble that 2009 Penguins Cup team, now has the same job in New Jersey.

Lleyton Hewitt wont stand in Nick Kyrgioss way if Australian tenniss walking headline makes good on his promise to pursue a professional basketball career.Kyrgios gave Australia a dream start to the World Group playoff against Slovakia on Friday before reminding fans he only had a five-year window to help win back the Davis Cup.Kyrgioss 6-3 6-2 6-4 victory over Andrej Martin on Friday earned Australia a 1-0 lead in Sydney before Bernard Tomic made it 2-0 with a 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 6-4 win over Jozef Kovalik.But Kyrgioss clinical display was overshadowed by another vow to leave tennis behind for his other sporting love.Im only playing for another four, five years, he mumbled when asked about Australias long-term prospects with he and Tomic spearheading the team.Kyrgios pledge comes after the controversial star raised eyebrows last month when he revealed to the New York Times he planned on retiring by age 27.Kyrgios also teased his Twitter followers with a promise to quit tennis if hed won the US Open this month.Hewitt is unsure how serious Kyrgioss threats are.Hes probably having fun with you guys. I think he gets a bit of a laugh from some of the stuff you write and he throws it out there, said the Australian captain.Hewitt, though, admitted he hoped Kyrgios would stick around - but only if his heart was in it.As long as hes playing top quality tennis, he said.But you dont want him playing tennis for the wrong reasons, either. A lot can happen in four or five years. Hes only 21.Tomic, who ooften plays basketball with Kyrgios, said his teammate had been invited to feature in the NBA All Stars celebrity game next year.ddddddddddddHopefully he can score a few points there. Nick is very good at basketball. Very good, Tomic said.Asked if he felt Kyrgios could make a career of basketball, Hewitt said: Well, put it this way. He destroys (Gael) Monfils - and Monfils can play.Never a dull moment, Kyrgios also had to overcome a nose bleed during the third set of his win over Martin and couldnt help but take a pot shot at world No.1 Novak Djokovic after refusing to let the distraction stop him.Djokovic was criticised for taking a medical time-out to have his toes taped while trailing Stan Wawrinka by two sets to one and a service break in last weeks US Open final.Kyrgios opted only to have running repairs, with tissues placed in his nostril during a changeover before he completed his straight-sets win.Im not like trying to do a Novak at the US Open, he said.Like, Ive got a blood nose, mate. Ive got to fix it. I cant play with blood coming out of my nose.I mean, I want to play. I dont want to take breaks. It was tough. It breaks the momentum. Obviously, the other guy doesnt really know whats going on either.I want to get the match going as quickly as possible as anyone. I dont want to hang around.Not on Friday and not for more than five years, it seems. ' ' '
