Animes N - Z » Paul Maurice, when asked to characterize the hocke

CONCORD, N.C. - Happy Harvick has lived up to his nickname this season, and hopes the good times with new team Stewart-Haas Racing roll on at Charlotte.Kevin Harvick heads into the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night coming off a win and three top-10s in the last four races. He was in position to win last weeks All-Star race until a slow final pit stop caused him to finish second at Charlotte Motor Speedway.Now he goes into the Coca-Cola 600 looking for his third win in four years at NASCARs longest race of the season. Harvick won the 600-miler in 2011 and 2013, and feels hes got another shot with his new No. 4 Chevrolet.The first minute that I was in that car, I havent quit smiling, Harvick said. Its been so refreshing and so much fun to be part of that every day.Harvick, who won 23 races in 13 seasons driving for Richard Childress Racing, said theres something different and special about his new Rodney Childers-led crew. He praised Stewart-Haas, too.The bottom line is the organization from a whole has given us every resource that we have asked for, Harvick said. You never talk about money. Its just what do you need and how do we get it for you.Harvick broke through early to dominate at Phoenix for his first win with his new team, then went through some growing pains with four finishes of 36th or worse in his next five events. Things turned around at Darlington last month when Harvick outran Hendrick Motorsports stars Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson for the victory, and he hasnt slowed down since.Harvick credits much of the success to Childers, recruited by Stewart-Haas after two years as a crew chief at Michael Waltrip Racing. Childers and Harvick have connected over their desire to win, not just on race day, but during every practice session, tire test or pit stop.They all want to win and race for championships, Harvick said, and when you put (those) kind of people together with that determination, everybody pushes everybody else.Five things to watch during Sundays race:EYES ON KURT: Fans wont be the only ones watching Kurt Buschs try at the grueling, 1,100-mile double of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Buschs colleagues in NASCAR will be following very closely. Clint Bowyer said he cant wait to get up Sunday and watch the Indy 500 to see how Busch is doing. Fans are paying attention to that and were paying attention, everybody in this room and everybody in this garage area is paying attention to it, Bowyer said. Thats a big story for us.JOHNSONS SEASON: Its been a long, dry season for defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, whos been winless this season through 11 races to match his longest drought, at the start of the 2003 season. But Johnson showed some signs hes ready to break back on top, collecting his first pole of the season for Sundays race. Johnson has had success at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a record-tying six previous wins including three in the Coca-Cola 600. If I win, then Im winning too much. If Im not winning, then its Why arent you winning? So I cant do it right either way. I learned a long time ago to not pay attention to the outside voices and influences and just worry about my race team, he said.SUPER DALE JR.: Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be running with Superman on his No. 88 machine as part of a multi-year sponsorship deal between Hendrick Motorsports and DC Comics. Earnhardt was asked what super power hed most like to have. Super-human strength would be the best one to have, I think. Being able to pick stuff up and throw it across the yard would be fun. You can impress your friends and show off for the ladies, he said.LONG, LONG RACE: In NASCARs longest event, it doesnt pay to take chances early on. Harvick said he keeps telling himself to stay patient because the extra 100-miles gives teams that much more time to get the car perfectly tuned for last stretch. Its also about nutrition, said Jamie McMurray: Its always about trying to get enough food in your system so that youre not hungry or feel week toward the end.MILITARY SALUTES: Few sports honour the military as well as NASCAR and expect another big show at Charlotte. Goodyear again will adorn its race tires with Salute Our Troops and will match funds up to $50,000 raised through charity auction. Tommy Baldwin Racing teams are also involved in a Salute The Troops letter writing initiative where people can send notes, cards and letters of thanks and support to military personnel. Count on flyovers and military vehicles, too. Taylor Gabriel Jersey .Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seems to be leaning the fiscally responsible way.Let me put it like this: Its going to be a challenge, Jones said of re-signing both of Dallas biggest potential free agents. Trey Burton Bears Jersey . -- The Windsor Spitfires were left with just one goaltender Tuesday after having their starter walk out on them midway through Game 3 of their Ontario Hockey League playoff matchup with the London Knights. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Cody-Parkey-Jersey/ .A. Dickey earned an American League Gold Glove on Tuesday to become the first Toronto Blue Jays pitcher to win the award. Chicago Bears Jerseys . -- Chad Labelle scored the winner 17:36 into the third period to give Medicine Hat a 2-1 victory over the Swift Current Broncos on Sunday and lift the Tigers into the second round of the Western Hockey League playoffs. Chase Daniel Bears Jersey . "Yes, Id like to get them in," Detroits rookie manager said. "Mother Natures going to have a say in that." Sure enough, the Tigers had their game against the Kansas City Royals postponed because of rain on Thursday.WINNIPEG - Its certainly not the way Bryan Little or the Winnipeg Jets would like to win hockey games.After blowing a two-goal lead to the Coyotes in the third period, the Jets had to claw and scrape for two points— eventually pulling away with a 4-3 shootout victory against Arizona.We didnt make it easy on ourselves, getting into some penalty trouble at the end, said Little, who scored the games first goal in regulation and then fired home the shootout winner.The Jets (25-4-8) made amends for their third period collapse, improving their win streak to four games while earning at least a point in six straight contests dating back to Jan. 10 against the Los Angeles Kings.Tonight we let it slip a little bit. Still, it still feels good to get both points, said Little. Wed rather not win that way and give up leads, but at the same time we are still managing to get wins and we are still managing to stick with it and come away (with points).It was a really good ending… a really, really good ending, added Jets head coach Paul Maurice, when asked to characterize the hockey game.The Jets also saw goals from Michael Frolik and Dustin Byfuglien.Ondrej Pavelec made 28 saves and for the Jets. Mike Smith stopped 27 shots for the Coyotes.The Coyotes (16-24-5), meanwhile, were left to lick their wounds after watching a heroic comeback eventually end in ruin— and their winless streak extend to five games.Obviously, you lose a game and there is not a lot to take out of it, said captain Shane Doan, who picked up two assists on the night after returning from injury.But youre down 3-1 on the road, on a back-to-back night, thats a big point to get. To find a way to come back and find a way back into the game, its huge. As a team, you have to grow and learn and hopefully be better for the next game.The Coyotes tied the game three and a half minutes after Little opened the scoring as Oliver Ekman-Larsson found twine for his 12th of the year. It was the first shhot Arizona registered on goal.ddddddddddddoan, who missed two games due to his lower-body injury, assisted on Ekman-Larssons goal— although he admitted he found it tough to get going.I didnt have very good legs, he said. You get an assist early and all of the sudden everything feels a little bit better and you feel like youre involved in the game, but your legs arent as good as you want them to be.Frolik scored his 10th on a gaffe by the Coyotes with 1:39 gone in the second period to give the Jets a 2-1 lead.Smith, playing the puck behind his own net, passed it to Connor Murphy, who lost the handle on it. The puck found its way in front of the Coyotes net and onto the stick of Frolik, who made no mistake with the net still vacated.I think we are on a roll and we want to keep going, Frolik said. I dont really look to the standings much but obviously we feel pretty good about ourselves. We just need to keep going, keep rolling, dont change must and just try to get better.Smith kept his team within one goal with just moments left on the clock in the second period as he slid from post-to-post to rob Little of his second of the game.Smith would later make multiple game-saving stops with seconds left on the clock in overtime.Huge. (Smith) played great for us all night and made some key saves at key times, said Coyotes defenceman Keith Yandle.Byfuglien would extend the Jets lead to 3-1 as he wired a wrist shot above a helpless Smith at 9:36 mark of the third after Scheifele found him on a two-on-one break.But Lauri Korpikoski cut the lead in half with under 10 minutes to go and moments later Tobias Rieder completed the comeback with his sixth on the year at 16:10 of the third to secure a point for the Coyotes.I think it is (a morale booster), said Yandle on the comeback. Its a tough building to play in. To tie it up in the third and to get points shows a lot of will and fight in our team and I think we did a good job tonight.
