Nico Rosberg continued his fine start to the season by topping the timesheets in a Chinese GP first practice session that was disrupted by red flags and punctures. Vincent Rey Jersey . The German has claimed victory in the first two races of the season, bringing his winning streak to five races, and beat team-mate Lewis Hamilton by just over a tenth of a second with a 1:38.037 in Shanghai on Friday morning.Ferraris Sebastian Vettel trailed the Mercedes duo in third, while Fernando Alonso made his return from injury to finish 12th in the McLaren. However, P1 was overshadowed by two red flags due to rear left tyre problems.First, Felipe Massa spun off at Turn Six after his tyre came loose, with debris flying off his Williams. Following heavy clean-up work on track and back in the garage the Brazilian returned later on in the session, only to face a failure on the same tyre, at the same corner.Moments later, Kevin Magnussen was also limping back to the pits with the same rear left tyre shredded. Pirelli insisted that Massas issues were not down to simple punctures, instead putting it down to air loss connected to technical trouble. They later confirmed that the Williams and Renault problems were not tyre related.While investigations will continue, McLaren engineers suspected that the Williams problem was due to the tyre rubbing against body work, with Magnussens down to debris on the track.Massa though, was uncertain. We had two punctures. Why? I dont know, he told Sky Sports F1. We are investigating. For sure, something is touching the tyre or the wheel or whatever.We had no idea why we had the first problem. We checked the car and it was ok. But then we had the same problem. Hamilton, who has been handed a five-place grid penalty for the race, set the early pace on the medium compound - two tenths faster than Rosberg.However, the world champion was reporting problems as he locked up and span off twice at Turn 11.Following the 30-minute stoppage due to the second red flag there was a flurry of activity at the end of the session, during which Rosberg edged ahead of his team-mate.Even Rosberg encountered issues towards the end of the session, which Mercedes diagnosed as an ignition problem.

Alex Erickson Jersey . The team reported the signing on its website Thursday, but said Friday the deal was off in "a mutual parting of the ways that had to do with the language of the contract. Preston Brown Jersey . Jeff Green and Jordan Crawford each scored 19 points, Bass added 15 points and had a game-saving block in the closing seconds Saturday, and the Celtics held on for a 103-100 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. http://www.cheapbengalsjerseysonline.com/?tag=clint-boling-jersey-online . -- Craig Anderson has quite a record against his former team, the Florida Panthers.The Los Angeles Kings took advantage of their breaks in Game Three and goaltender Jonathan Quick was terrific, stopping all 32 shots he faced, as the Kings downed the Rangers 3-0 to take a 3-0 stranglehold in the series. Game Three opened with a brilliant pace, as the Rangers and Kings played a back-and-forth first period with very few whistles. It looked like it was going to end up scoreless through one when Kings C Jeff Carter buried a 2-on-1 with Justin Williams, his wrist shot deflecting in off a sliding Dan Girardi with 0.7 seconds remaining in the first period. A backbreaking goal for a Rangers team already down two games in the series. With Rangers D Marc Staal in the penalty box, for high-sticking, Kings D Jake Muzzin scored a power play goal early in the second period to create some breathing room. Muzzins goal was on the power play, but was a wrist shot from just inside the blueline that deflected in off Rangers RW Martin St. Louis. Two goals on two attempted blocked shots and this left the Rangers, down a couple of goals, to press. Late in the second period, Kings C Mike Richards broke out on a 2-on-1 with RW Trevor Lewis, and after Rangers D Ryan McDonagh blocked Richards attempted pass, Richards found the puck back on his stick and finished it off to give the Kings a 3-0 lead. The proverbial dagger. The Rangers had many chances -- they outshot the Kings 17-8 in the second period, then 11-2 in the third, once the deficit was virtually insurmountable -- but they couldnt get the puck past Quick. His 32-save shutout was his best of a postseason that hasnt been Quicks best. Even with the Game Three shutout, Quick has a .910 save percentage in 24 games, but the Rangers best chance to pull off an upset in the series was going to be if Henrik Lundqvist outdueled Quick and that hasnt happened. In Game Three, the Kings won while registering a season-low 15 shots on goal. The playoff scoring race didnt see any change at the top, or at least similar change as Anze Kopitar, Jeff Carter, Justin Williams and Marian Gaborik each had a single point. Cory Helms Jersey. Kopitar leads the postseason with 26 points, two ahead of Carter and Williams, five ahead of Gaborik. Williams, making his late charge for the Conn Smythe, had six points (1 G, 5 A) in the series. There may not have been a better example of the Rangers frustration in Game Three than to see RW Rick Nash, who has just three goals in the playoffs, creating chances -- he had a game-high seven shot attempts -- but coming up empty at every turn. In one second period sequence, Nash attacked on the rush, was stopped by Quick, stayed on the puck, gathered control behind the Kings net and as he attempted a wrap-around, was hooked by Kings D Drew Doughty to prevent the goal. It was a smart play by Doughty in the moment and, given the Rangers power play struggles (2-for-30, 6.7% in the past seven games), it was sensible, even in desperation. Game Three was a fine example of why a team like the Rangers, the underdog coming in, couldnt afford to lose a pair of overtime games. Sure, the Rangers could have easily won one of the first two games in Los Angeles and come home even, but they didnt. Then, they had a game in which the bounces totally went in the Kings direction and, just like that, the series is 3-0 and that should be just about that. In 26 previous Stanley Cup Final series in which a team has taken a 3-0 lead, only the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs managed to overcome the deficit. Thats what the Rangers are left with. Long, virtually impossible odds, in a series that (aside from the third period of Game One) they have played relatively even throughout. Maybe the Rangers deserved a better fate, but they are left needing a miracle and its pretty tough to count on miracles when the other guys are getting the bounces.
