(SportsNetwork. Nmd R1 Cheap .com) - A couple of teams trying to get on the right track meet Friday in Canadas capital city, as the Ottawa Senators welcome the New York Islanders for a clash at Canadian Tire Centre. The Islanders have lost two straight and four of their last five games, and are 2-5-2 since opening the season with a 2-0-1 mark. To try and shake things up New York pulled off a blockbuster trade to acquire star winger Thomas Vanek from Buffalo on Sunday, but the move couldnt help the Isles beat the rival New York Rangers on Monday. Vanek, who was acquired for winger Matt Moulson and two draft picks, failed to score in his debut with the club on Monday. The Isles led the contest by a 2-1 score after 40 minutes, but Benoit Pouliot and Ryan McDonagh each tallied third-period goals to lead the visiting Rangers to a 3-2 comeback victory at Nassau Coliseum. Cal Clutterbuck and Peter Regin scored in the Islanders fourth consecutive home loss. Vanek, a two-time 40-goal scorer with the Sabres, had a quiet game, recording just one shot on goal while playing on a line with captain John Tavares. Evgeni Nabokov finished with 21 saves in the setback. "I thought we played decently, but its the same mistakes," Islanders head coach Jack Capuano remarked. "We werent poised enough with the puck; I thought we turned it over too many times there. We fell asleep on a too many men on the ice call. Thats a lack of focus for me." Vanek hopes to have a better second game in an Isles sweater on Friday. The Austrian sniper has registered 19 goals and 35 points in 50 career games against the Senators. Ottawa, meanwhile, is mired in an 0-3-0 skid and the club is coming off a disappointing 4-6-2 showing in the first month of the season. The Senators called a players-only meeting on Monday to talk out their frustrations, but still lost a 6-5 decision the following night in Chicago. The Sens held a 4-2 lead briefly in the second period on Tuesday and headed into the final stanza up 4-3. However, Ottawa couldnt overcome a hat trick from Chicago captain Jonathan Toews, who scored twice early in the third period to give the Blackhawks the lead for good. Kyle Turris and Milan Michalek each posted a goal and an assist for the Senators, while Craig Anderson allowed all six goals on 40 shots in the loss. "We got five goals on the road against the Stanley Cup champions," said Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean. "We gave them some easy goals that we should have made them work harder for." Perhaps, a preponderance of home games to begin November can help the Sens get headed in the right direction. Ottawa, which is 1-3-0 as the host so far, will play two straight and seven of eight at home to kick off the new month. The Islanders are playing five of six on the road to begin November and are 2-2-0 away from Nassau Coliseum this season. The Sens have claimed five of the past six meetings in this series overall and Ottawa has taken two in a row in Canadas capital. The Senators boast a 6-0-2 record in the past eight encounters at Canadian Tire Centre. Cheap Air Max 90 China .

Johan Stander and his daughter Carice Viljoen, neighbours and friends of Pistorius, testified that they were at the runners villa soon after the shooting on Feb. 14, 2013 and that Pistorius was praying, trying to help Steenkamp breathe and urging her to live. Viljoen testified that Pistorius was saying to Steenkamp as she lay on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds: "Stay with me, my love, stay with me." The world-famous disabled runner had shot four times through a toilet cubicle door with his 9 mm pistol minutes earlier, hitting Steenkamp in the hip, arm and head. He claims he thought she was a dangerous intruder in the cubicle in his darkened bathroom. Prosecutors maintain Pistorius, 27, is lying about the perceived trespasser, and his story is designed to cover up that he killed the 29-year-old model intentionally in the midst of a heated argument. The first amputee to run at the Olympics in 2012, Pistorius faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of a premeditated murder charge. The testimonies from the neighbours began the seventh week of proceedings in the globally televised trial, which resumed after a two-week recess. Stander testified that Pistorius phoned him at around 3:19 a.m. -- about two minutes after the shooting. Pistorius told him he had thought Steenkamp was an intruder and shot her, Stander testified, and Stander and his daughter went to Pistorius house after the world-famous runner pleaded for him to come and help. "I saw the truth there that morning. I saw it and I feel it," Stander testified, saying he believed that the shooting was accidental because of Pistorius desperation when they found him carrying a bloodied Steenkamp downstairs from the upstairs bathroom. Pistorius was "really crying. He was in pain," Stander said. Standers own voice shook at one point and he became emotional as he described Pistorius state. "He was torn apart, broken, desperate, pleading," Stander said. "Its difficult really to describe." The defence was trying to underline its scenario that Pistorius was emotionally distressed after shooting Steenkamp by mistake. Cheap Fake Nmd. Pistorius lawyers were also trying to regain some momentum after chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel put Pistorius under intense pressure during the runners own testimony, which appeared to show some inconsistencies in his story. The prosecution has preferred to focus on events before the killing -- and not Pistorius demeanour afterward -- to try and show that his version is a fabrication, including that he never attempted to locate Steenkamp despite knowing she was awake before walking to the bathroom on his stumps and firing through the toilet door. Pistorius slumped forward in the Pretoria courtroom Monday with his head in his hands as details of what may have been Steenkamps last moments alive were discussed. Cross-examining Stander, Nel questioned if he was a good friend of Pistorius and therefore trying to "assist" the defence. Stander said he had known Pistorius since 2009 and looked after his home and dogs when he was away. Nel asked if the friendship led him to back Pistorius story. Stander said he also knew Steenkamp. "Im here to give the truth," Stander said. "And I think Ive given the truth, what I saw that morning." Nels manner in cross-examining both Stander and Viljoen was relatively subdued in contrast to his aggressive questioning during his five-day questioning of Pistorius, and of two expert witnesses for the defence. Stander earlier recounted the telephone call from Pistorius that woke him up in the pre-dawn hours of Valentines Day. "He (Pistorius) said on the call, Johan, please, please, please come to my house. Please. I shot Reeva. I thought she was an intruder. Please come quick," Stander said. Viljoen testified that when they arrived at the house, Pistorius begged her to help him get Steenkamp into a car so they could take her to a hospital. Viljoen said she urged Pistorius to "just put her down" so they could try and stop the bleeding. As Viljoen spoke, her voice broke and she became tearful. "I just saw blood everywhere," she said. Her father stepped outside to telephone an ambulance, Viljoen said, and she went upstairs to fetch towels to stop the bleeding. Pistorius was pleading for Steenkamp to stay alive, she said. "He kept on egging Reeva to just stay with him," she testified. ' ' '
