Nashville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Filip Forsberg scored with 1:05 remaining in overtime to lift the Nashville Predators to a 1-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thanksgiving. The Oilers began overtime on a power play, then were awarded a penalty shot 13 seconds into the extra session when Nashville defenseman Shea Weber closed his hand on the puck while in the crease. Pekka Rinne stretched with his left pad to deny Jordan Eberle at the right post. Moments later, Forsberg spun to shield the puck from an Edmonton player and fired a wrist shot from the left circle past Viktor Fasth. Rinne made 37 saves to earn his second shutout of the season and 34th of his career. The Predators won their third straight game, all beyond regulation, and welcomed back forward Mike Fisher to the lineup. Fisher missed the first 21 games of the season after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon during the summer. Fasth finished with 24 saves for the Oilers, who lost their eighth consecutive game. They are now 0-11-2 against Western Conference teams this season. Gerald McCoy Womens Jersey . Campbell, playing on loan with Greek club Olympiacos, found the net with a left-footed shot in the 44th minute off a pass from second-half substitute Jorge Rojas to open the scoring at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica. Jameis Winston Womens Jersey . 1. CAVALIERS: At 19-20, theyre a mess. Watched the game Tuesday night vs. Phoenix and their defence was poor (107 points and 52 per cent for Suns). Where is the high level play from Kyrie Irving and LeBron James (13 turnovers!)? Kevin Love looks like a man thats wondering what he got himself into. http://www.authenticbuccaneerspro.com/Mi...caneers-jersey/. "[People] keep asking that question and its not a legit question because we dont have that right, we havent arrived yet," Casey responded. "Weve got to take each game at a time, each possession at a time and look at it that way. Gerald McCoy Jersey . The Rays hope to stay alive for the postseason and salvage the finale of this series Sunday at Rogers Centre, where they dropped a 7-2 decision Saturday. Chris Archer lasted 2 1/3 innings in the no-decision, charged with a run and five hits, and Alex Torres suffered the loss in relief. Anthony Nelson Jersey . PAUL, Minn.TORONTO -- One year after an 8-1 humbling in Honduras that signalled yet another early end to World Cup qualifying, there seemingly has been little to celebrate in Canadian mens soccer. Canada fell to an all-time low in the FIFA rankings Thursday for the second straight month, dropping five positions to No. 111. The Canadians stand 12th in the CONCACAF region, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean. Going into the Honduras game at San Pedro Sula on Oct. 16, 2012, Canada was ranked 61st in the world and sixth in CONCACAF. Today, the Canadian men stand a hair above No. 112 Antigua and Barbuda, whose population is some 90,000 compared to Canadas 35 million. Canada is below Angola, Botswana, both Congos, Gabon, Guinea and Niger, to name just a few. "I can sympathize with fans who are frustrated that we are not getting the results that we all want to get," said Victor Montagliani, president of the Canadian Soccer Association. Montagliani, however, says the association has shown already it is "fully committed" to getting the national team games, as opposed to past years when the squad has virtually been put on hold following failed World Cup qualifying campaigns. While Canada is looking at the 2018 World Cup, the CSA boss says the 2022 tournament and beyond may be more realistic. "And unfortunately its going to mean some tough results because youre going to be using a lot of players who dont have the caps or the experience to compete at the international level," he said. "And there are some realities we have. Our young players are not getting time with their clubs and those are things I think they need to fix as much as we need to help them to fix. "But I think our approach is sound, in that its long-term, were not going to make decisions based on the way the wind blows in terms of popularity. Quite honestly I think weve done that too much in the past and were going to make decision based on long-term health." The FIFA rankings are not the be-all and end-all in soccer, but its hard to argue with Canadas decline given results over the last 12 months. The Canadians have gone 0-8-3 and scored just once since being thumped in Honduras. They have been outscored 16-1 and have only Marcus Habers goal in a 2-1 loss to Japan in March to avoid a total shutout on the year. As it stands, Canada has not scored in 12 hours 32 minutes. The rebuilding job has fallen to Benito Floro, who has just three games under his belt since officially taking as coach on Aug. 1. With an eye to the future, his focus has clearly been on changing the nationnal team culture while educating a squad that is brimming with youth.dddddddddddd Floro, a 61-year-old Spaniard whose coaching career has taken him from Real Madrid to Mexicos Monterrey, has used long classroom and videos sessions to educate the Canadians in his two camps to date. "I think its been great," said 20-year-old defender Doneil Henry. "Im definitely optimistic and positive for Benito," he added. "Hes been great so far and he really does know the game." Henrys optimism extends to the Canadian squad, which he sees as "a team for the future." Henry, who already has nine senior caps to his credit, was one of four of Toronto FC players aged 23 or younger in the Canadian squad that lost 3-0 to Australia on Tuesday. Other youngsters who saw action included 18-year-old Samuel Piette, 20-year-old Russell Teibert and 21-year-old Stefan Cebara. "If we can start getting these players the professional experience they need at the international stage, it will definitely benefit us in the long run," said Henry. Recent losses, while painful, have shown the youngsters "that this is a mans game," according to Henry. "Theres so much more to learn," he added. "Especially myself going up against, playing against top players in the world. These are the games that we need. "Its going to build our character and build us as individual professionals in the long run. I understand that results right now are hurting us but eventually theres going to be a turn." Henry is certain that with the growth of the three MLS teams academies and Canadians continuing to go overseas, "were going to eventually be there with the top countries in the world." Floro, said Montagliani, is pleased at the reaction of his players to date. "Hes got a positive outlook," the CSA president said. "He knows that its not a task for the faint of heart and that theres a lot of work to do but hes committed to the task." Longtime leader Spain -- the defending World Cup champion --remains atop the FIFA rankings released Thursday, followed by Germany, Argentina, Colombia and Belgium. The Canadian men reached a high of No. 40 in December 1996. Canada last won in October 2012 when it defeated Cuba 3-0 in Toronto. Montagliani said the Canadian men may play a friendly next month while the World Cup qualifying playoffs take place. There will be a January camp plus a March game, with CSA officials hoping they might get to play before the World Cup as well as opportunities in September, October and November. ' ' '
