SQUAW VALLEY, Calif. -- Olympic slalom gold medallist Mikaela Shiffrin won the giant slalom at the U.S. Alpine Championships by nearly 2 seconds on Thursday. The 19-year-old Shiffrin, who is based in Eagle-Vail, Colo., won her third U.S. title overall, after slalom championships in 2011 and 2012. She completed Thursdays two runs in 2 minutes, 30.93 seconds. The race was open to women from other countries, and Marie-Michele Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., finished second, 1.88 seconds behind. Julia Mancuso, a four-time Olympic medallist who lives in Squaw Valley, was third. Shiffrin became the youngest slalom champion in Olympic history last month at the Sochi Games, then returned to the World Cup circuit to wrap up a second consecutive slalom season title. All nine of her World Cup career race wins have come in slalom. Rick Kehoe Jersey . In question is whether 26-year-old Matt Frattin will be on it. A a€?mediocrea€? training camp, as Carlyle put it earlier this week, has Frattin lingering nervously on the bubble at the end of the exhibition season, pushed out of a likely job by Brandon Kozun, the small, but feisty winger determined to make the NHL for the first time. Penguins Jerseys China . He was attracted by the punishing defence, the strong running game and a coaching staff he trusted. The 49ers announced Thursday that Manningham had signed a two-year deal to join the team he helped knock out in the NFC championship game two months ago in their latest offensive upgrade at wide receiver. https://www.cheappenguinsjersey.com/1171...y-penguins.html. - Andrew McCutchen went 4 for 5 and finished a home run short of a cycle, and Jordy Mercer drove in a career-high four runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-2 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.

On Wednesday, all the frustration over his teams lackluster play finally sent head coach Mike Yeo over the edge and its difficult to blame him. Yeo stopped practice and laid into his club for not showing up with the right attitude for a team that has lost eight of its last 10 games and is fading fast in the Western Conference playoff picture. In case you havent seen it, theres video of Yeos tirade here (with the numerous expletives bleeped out, of course): http://tinyurl.com/obthdhn Clearly, Yeos actions are those of a man who knows hes fighting for his job, and its tearing him apart to see his players arent battling right along with him. Were not in a position where we can come in and be, let alone decent in practice, bad at practice. Im not going to accept that, Yeo offered in defense of his meltdown. Although the passion is real, there may have been a bit of calculation behind Yeos harangue because it comes at a time when it would be easy for Minnesota to feel sorry for itself. The coach knows if the Wild go down the road of self pity they are already lost and, in all likelihood, so is his job. But there may be an even more poignant (and less self-centered) reason for Yeos frustration, and it has to do with the off-ice tragedy that has beset his two best players. One couldnt blame Yeo for being pushed to the limit by watching what his star players Zach Parise and Ryan Suter have gone through this season on personal levels. Of all the Wild players, Parise and Suter are the guys who have real reasons to feel sorry for themselves, as both players lost their fathers over the last several months. Suters father, Bob, a member of the Miracle on Ice team, died suddenly of a heart attack shortly before the season. Parise, meanwhile, watched his father -- former NHLer and longtime Minnesota North Stars forward J.P. Parise -- battle lung cancer over the last several months before he passed away Wednesday night at the age of 73. Yeo and the Wild had been doing everythiing in their power to allow Parise to be with his family during this tragedy.dddddddddddd He was allowed to skip practices when needed and Parise recently said Yeo had basically been telling him to just show up for games. Yet, through it all Parise showed more personal accountability for his teams struggles than anybody else. So, to see the rest of the team sleepwalk through practice Wednesday while Parise was spending the last few hours he would ever have with his father, could have added to Yeos frustration. To hear the coach explain it, hockey should serve as an escape for Parise and Suter but there has been little solace to be found at Xcel Energy Center. I have so much respect for the way hes coming to the rink and everything hes trying to put in to help our group, Yeo told the media Tuesday about Parise. Whats disappointing for me, right now theres more stress here. Hockey teams are supposed to be like families in that they support each other the most in times of great distress. To see his players not give maximum effort at practice during extremely difficult times for their teammates is nothing short of disrespectful. Its disrespectful not only to Parise and Suter, but also to their families and the memories of both Bob Suter and J.P. Parise. And if the Wild cant rally around two of their best players at times like these, its be easy to see how Yeo could reach the level of frustration he showed on Wednesday. But, the good news beneath it all is there is still plenty of time for redemption. Including Thursdays home game against Chicago, the Wild have 44 games left in the regular season to put the disappointment of the last several months behind them. The first step for the Wild should be playing like their hair is on fire tonight against the Blackhawks. After all, leaving it all out on the ice is a great way to show Parise they care and are thinking about him during such a difficult time for his family. Its a cliche, but sometimes its true that it only takes one game to turn things around. And if Yeos tirade and Parises tragedy arent enough to shake the Wild out of their slumber soon, it may already be too late to save their season. ' ' '
