nalysing appearances against the big six among his peers, Ma

DENVER -- Boone Jenner made sure that credit went where credit should for his winning goal.To Brandon Dubinsky for setting up the play. To Cam Atkinson for that on-the-money, no-look pass.A heck of a play by them, Jenner said.Jenner knocked in the winner with 11:03 remaining, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 18 shots and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the slumping Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Thursday night.Really happy for Boone to pop one, Dubinsky said. Hes been knocking on the door.It was Jenners first goal since Nov. 18 and No. 3 on the season. He couldnt have picked a more opportune time, after the Blue Jackets squandered a 2-0 lead following first-period goals by Brandon Saad and Nick Foligno.Blake Comeau scored in the second period and Samuel Henley followed with his first NHL goal as the Avalanche rallied. Comeau nearly tied the game with 2:09 remaining when he tipped in a shot. But the officials reviewed the play and waved off the goal after ruling he knocked it in with a high stick.Comeau was a little surprised the goal was overturned.They said it was a goal on the ice, Comeau said. Its disappointing.Clearly, the right call, insisted Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella.It was way over. His stick was over the crossbar, he said.The Avalanche pulled Semyon Varlamov for an extra skater with about two minutes left, but couldnt get anything past Bobrovsky and dropped to 0-3-1 on their current homestand.We were sloppy early, Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. I didnt think our `D moved the puck very well as a group. ... Varly kept us in it.With the game tied at 2 early in the third period, the Blue Jackets had a golden opportunity when they drew back-to-back-to-back penalties. They had 30 seconds with a two-man advantage -- and couldnt score. And then later 10 more seconds of 5-on-3, but couldnt score again as Varlamov helped the Avalanche withstand all the penalty minutes.The power-play struggles didnt come back to haunt the Blue Jackets. They wouldnt let it.We didnt lose any momentum. We just said, `OK, lets clear the boards here. We didnt get things done here. Lets just keep on playing, Tortorella said.Colorado knotted the game in the second period on goals from Comeau and Henley, who was recently brought up from San Antonio of the American Hockey League to provide an offensive spark.He did just that. With his first NHL shot on goal, too.Henley turned and fired near the blue line, with a screened Bobrovsky never really reacting to the puck. Henley, who signed with Colorado as a free agent on May 5, 2014, had some of his family in the stands for his debut.This is bittersweet, Henley said. It would have been nice to score and win. Its too bad we didnt win it.Saad scored at 4:56 of the first period to stake Columbus to an early lead. It was his third goal in four games.Later in the first, Foligno was credited with a goal on a 3-on-1 break when his tip of a pass appeared to deflect off the stick of Colorado defenseman Fedor Tyutin and past Varlamov.With captain Gabriel Landeskog going on injured reserve Wednesday, Bednar promoted Gabriel Bourque and Henley. He was hoping they could get a struggling team to play with more vigor.Theres a certain amount of passion you need in order to win hockey games. We have the ability to recall a couple of guys to help give us that passion, Bednar said.Game notes Columbus is two wins away from No. 500 in club history. ... Bobrovsky and Varlamov were teammates for Russia at the World Cup of Hockey in September. ... The Blue Jackets finished last month with a 9-2-3 mark. The 21 points were the most for November in club history. ...

Byron Murphy Youth Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is underrated and deserves more credit as a No 10, says Jamie Carragher. The Spain international got on the scoresheet against Arsenal on Saturday and caused plenty of problems for the Gunners. Sky Sports Black Friday sale Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price! But former Liverpool defender Carragher believes Mata is one of the most underappreciated players in the league, and should be considered among the best in his position. I think were looking at one of the most underrated players in the Premier League, the Sky Sports pundit said on Monday Night Football.I think the reason he doesnt get that credit the others get is that he played his first two years here with Chelsea, then [Jose] Mourinho comes in - the best manager in the world - and gets rid of him so everyone thinks Mourinho cant be wrong, so there must be something wrong with Mata. Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal He goes to Manchester United, but hes not a Manchester United player, he hasnt got any pace and the fee is well over the odds for him. But what No 10 has got pace?I think its about time now that we start looking at Mata in these group of players - Kevin De Bruyne, Philippe Coutinho, David Silva, Eden Hazard - as one of the top players in the Premier League, which he is and has been. How unlucky are Man Utd? Jose Mourinho insists Man Utd aare the Premier Leagues unluckiest team, but what do the stats say? Its not a flash in the pan.dddddddddddd Hes been here five or six years, and he should start getting a lot more credit.When analysing appearances against the big six among his peers, Mata ranks top for minutes per goal and assists as well as having the highest goal and second-highest assist tally of the seven players included. Juan Matas stats compared to other No 10s in big six games Hes played almost as much as anyone against big six opposition, only bettered by Silva, so were not talking about a run of seven or eight games when hes had a bit of luck and got a few goals.People always talk about assists with No 10s and I dont care what position you play in, a goal is more important than an assist for me. The minutes for goals and assists is also a massive difference between the others, almost by 15 minutes. Mata says it is extremely frustrating to have conceded a late goal in Uniteds 1-1 draw with Arsenal So hes getting more goals than those players in those positions. Silva only has more assists and we talk about those players and the influence that they have, but this is where it is important, in those big games.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.
