NEU » son Toronto is trending in the right direction.27. (

It was a performance the opposition coach labelled scary, but Jarryd Haynes debut for his new NRL club Gold Coast ended in defeat.The Warriors spoiled the party at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday, snatching a vital 24-14 NRL win that lifts them above the Titans into seventh on the ladder.A bumper crowd of 25,109 - the Titans best attendance since 2010 - had to wait 28 minutes to see multi-million dollar recruit Hayne in action.By that stage the Warriors were already ahead 10-6, after a Bodene Thompson try just before Hayne took to the field.The 28-year-old - who last played an NRL match for Parramatta in September 2014 before stints in NFL and rugby sevens - wasted no time making his presence felt.He nailed a tryline-bound Thompson with a heavy ball-and-all tackle to prevent the Warriors extending their lead.Minutes later Hayne outjumped two Warriors in a leaping contest for a bomb, with the Titans going on to score via ex-Warrior Konrad Hurrell in the resulting set.Warriors star Shaun Johnson showed there wasnt one match-winner on the stage however, setting up two second-half tries for the visitors - including one that came a set after David Fusitua had sprinted 70 metres after intercepting a Hayne no-look pass.Another intercept try, to Solomone Kata, put the Warriors out of sight before Hayne picked up a try assist when winger Anthony Don gathered the ex-NSW State of Origin stars grubber kick to complete the scoring.Warriors coach Andrew McFadden, thrilled his team had claimed the points in such a crucial clash on the race for finals, admitted Haynes return had been eye-catching.Its pretty scary that thats his first game, McFadden said.We were expecting hed get straight out there and jump on the horse and thats what he did really. It was pretty impressive.Hayne said match fitness had been his biggest issue and he expected to be better for the match practice.Just the minutes in the legs, thats something you really cant get at training because of the contact and how ferocious it is out there on the field, Hayne said.Ive played in a lot of big games where mentally its got me through it. It wasnt anything I didnt expect or couldnt handle.The Warriors head home to Auckland to host South Sydney next Saturday while the Titans are on the road to Wests Tigers in another vital top eight clash at Campbelltown.Scott Bull Jersey . NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period. Ben Coates Jersey . Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start in team history. http://www.custompatriotsjersey.com/custom-joe-montana-jersey-large-1001f.html . Batiste, who briefly signed with the Eskimos in 2006, has spent time with several NFL teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins. O. J. Simpson Jersey . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. Leo Nomellini Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence.The New York Rangers remain No. 1 this week, but theres plenty of movement atop the rankings. The Chicago Blackhawks return to No. 2 thanks to solid goaltending from Scott Darling, which has helped power?their five-game winning streak. The Columbus Blue Jackets (yes, those Columbus Blue Jackets) jump into the top 3 on the heels of a nine-game winning streak.A quarter of the season is complete, and parity is evident.1. (Last week: 1) New York Rangers, 23-10-1After sitting for four consecutive games for the first time in his career, Henrik Lundqvist proved why he still should be the Rangers No. 1 with three victories in a row last week.2. (6)?Chicago Blackhawks, 22-8-4No one is more important to Chicagos success than defenseman Duncan Keith. The Blackhawks have survived stretches without?Corey Crawford and Jonathan Toews, but its tough to imagine them winning without Keith.3. (5)?Columbus Blue Jackets, 20-5-4John Tortorella became the first American-born coach to reach 500 career wins in the NHL. His team has won nine consecutive games.4. (3) Philadelphia Flyers, 19-11-3The Flyers had their 10-game winning streak halted by the Stars, but theyve worked their way into the playoff picture with a bang.5.?(4) Pittsburgh Penguins, 20-7-5Theres no goalie controversy in Pittsburgh since its obvious Matt Murray is the No. 1, but Marc-Andre Fleury deserves credit for the way hes handled the situation. He also gives the Penguins a chance to win every time he plays.6. (2) Montreal Canadiens, 20-7-4If Carey Price had any lingering issues with being pulled Friday night against the Sharks, he didnt show it in his subsequent performance when he helped snap the Capitals win streak at six games by stopping 20 of 21 shots. And, hey, goalies get a pass for being emotional.7. (10) Minnesota Wild, 18-8-4Minnesotas ability to keep the puck out of the net has been a major reason for its success this season. The goalie tandem of starter Devan Dubnyk and backup Darcy Kuemper has been key during the Wilds seven-game winning streak.?8.? (7) Washington Capitals, 19-8-3OK, so?Alex Ovechkin?and Co. saw their six-game winning streak snapped by Carey Price and the Canadiens Saturday. But otherwise the Caps have been cruising.9. (9) San Jose Sharks, 19-12-1The Sharks had their own winning streak -- four games -- snapped by the Blackhawks.10.?(11) Ottawa Senators, 18-11-3Coach Guy Boucher unloaded on his team during a recent practice. It seems his message was heard loud and clear. The Senators have won two consecutive games -- over the Devils and Islanders -- since.11. (8) St. Louis Blues, 17-11-4Im still waiting for the Blues to make a massive push in the Central. They have the ability to win the division but seem to have issues against the better teams.12. (13) Boston Bruins, 17-13-3Forward Jimmy Hayes has struggled the majority of the season. Perhaps his goal in a 1-0 win against the Kings will be what he needs to get going.?13. (12) Edmonton Oilers, 16-12-5Forget Connor McDavid for one second because teammate Leon Draisaitl is doing it all for the Oilers. The 21-year-old forward adds a different dynamic and is another reason the future looks bright for Edmonton.14. (15) Anaheim Ducks, 16-11-5Rickard Rakell is playing inspired hockey. The 23-year-old forward is also in the process off creating a career season.dddddddddddd15. (16) Los Angeles Kings, 16-13-2Journeyman goalie Peter Budaj is saving the Kings season, which seemed doomed when starter Jonathan Quick was placed on injured reserve after the first game of the season.16.?(14) Calgary Flames, 16-15-2Goalie Chad Johnson has been solid and is a big reason for Calgarys turnaround. The Flames all-around defense has been another key reason theyre still clinging to a wild-card spot.17.?(18) Winnipeg Jets, 13-16-3Theres nothing boring about?Patrik Laines game. The rookie sensation continues to impress and now has 18 goals, which is good for third in the league.18. (17) Tampa Bay Lightning, 15-14-3Victor Hedman should be considered the best defenseman in Tampas history. Not only did he become the all-time points leader as a defenseman, his two-way game has ignited the Lightning.19.?(19) Nashville Predators, 13-12-5The Predators need to fix why they cant win on the road. Nashvilles 3-9-2 record away from Bridgestone Arena is the worst in the Western Conference.20. (23) Carolina Hurricanes, 13-11-7Goalie?Cam Ward, who won a Stanley Cup in 2006, continues to impress at age 32. His longevity in the league (12 seasons) deserves a stick tap.21.?(22) Detroit Red Wings, 14-14-4Forward Tomas Tatar scored his first career hat trick against the Ducks. The Red Wings need more performances like this from Tatar in order to keep climbing the standings.22. (20) New Jersey Devils, 12-12-7A bounce here and there could mean the difference between winning and losing. The Devils cant catch a break, and that was the case again in a shootout loss to the rival Rangers on Sunday.23. (21) Florida Panthers, 14-13-5What a gong show. Its too bad because the Panthers have the talent to become a perennial winner.24.?(24) Dallas Stars, 13-14-6Is the Stars collective frustration with underachieving beginning to boil over? Forward Cody Eakin was suspended for four games for charging Lundqvist on Thursday.25. (26) Buffalo Sabres, 12-11-7Rasmus Ristolainen, 22, is well on his way to becoming one of the best defensemen in the league. Hes playing with confidence, and his potential is limitless.26.?(25) Toronto Maple Leafs, 12-11-7For all the talk about Auston Matthews, teammate Mitch Marner is having a terrific rookie season. Marner is a major reason Toronto is trending in the right direction.27. (27) New York Islanders, 11-14-6The Islanders need to find an identity, and soon. If not, personnel changes will -- and should -- be made.28.?(28) Vancouver Canucks, 13-16-3It has to be difficult for veteran players such as the Sedin twins to remain patient when so much losing is involved. But patience is what itll take for the Canucks to turn it around this season and in the foreseeable future.29.?(29) Arizona Coyotes, 11-15-5Speaking of patience, the Coyotes realize its part of the process of creating a winning team. Eventually, Arizona will get there.30.? (30) Colorado Avalanche, 11-18-1With a 2-8-0 record in their past 10 -- including a three-game losing skid -- the Avalanche are trending the wrong way. But making drastic changes at this point would be a desperate move -- and not the right one. ' ' '
