PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis appears to be OK after leaving the ice on a stretcher in the second period of Pittsburghs 3-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.Dupuis was cross-checked in front of the net by Stars defenceman Alex Goligoski and hit in the neck or upper-back area by Kris Letangs shot from the point while he was down.Dupuis remained on his knees in discomfort and threw off his gloves, shaking his hands before play was stopped with 6:58 remaining in the period.He had some numbness in his arm and it was coming back, so thats a real positive sign, but I havent heard anything more, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said.Dupuis was tended to while on his back for several minutes and gave a thumbs-up to the crowd while leaving the ice.You never want to see that happen, Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. There was a lot of concern on both benches. Weve been around some tough situations and that one scared us as much as it scared the Penguins.Dallas scored two goals in the final 2:57, the game-winner from Tyler Seguin to carry the Stars to their second straight win.As difficult as it is, you have to go out and play, Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. I dont think we let down necessarily because of that. They picked it up.Dupuis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last December, costing him the final 43 games of the regular season. He had four points in the Penguins opener last Thursday. China Shoes Black Friday .J. -- Omar Cummings helped the Houston Dynamo advance to the MLS Eastern Conference finals. Buy Shoes Black Friday .

Fake Shoes Black Friday . -- The way Ted Ligety carved into turns looked so easy.JEREZ, Spain - Nico Rosberg is studying how he breathes as he looks to overhaul Formula One world champion and Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.Rosberg missed out on the title in dramatic fashion last year and wants to find improvements.The German driver has tried perfecting new breathing techniques in order to find the one or two per cent that could make all the difference this season.Rosberg did better than Hamilton in qualifying last year, securing 11 pole positions compared to seven, but Hamilton dominated him — 11 wins to five — on race day.That has been bugging Rosberg, who is determined to find the small margins that will work in his favour.I learned some things in the winter. For example, my breathing was something I could work on, my breathing in the race car, Rosberg explained. Because when we go through fast corners we hold the breath, because we have so much g-force. Of course I want to give you some insights, but not compromise my secrets.Hes also stepped up his training regime.To be that little bit more fit at the end of races, a little bit more on it, the 29-year-old Rosberg said. That one or two per cent that makes the difference in the end.Hamilton beat Rosberg by 67 points — but the margin was exaggerated by the double points on offer in the last race. Rosberg could have clinched the title, for example, if he had won and Hamilton placed third. But Hamilton won and Rosberg, blighted by technical probblems, ended up 14th and out of the points.dddddddddddde insists it did not take him long to get over it.Life went back to normal for me very quickly, one or two days, he said. Im always motivated, but (this time) I have an extra little bit. To have this memory from last year. I know how awesome it feels to win races and how great it feels when I beat Lewis.Feelings were heightened last year due to the tension between the drivers. It led to several feuds, with Hamilton accusing his teammate of deliberately crashing into him at the Belgian GP in August.Tensions were eased after Rosberg warmly congratulated Hamilton — his friend since their teenage years racking karts against each other — but Mercedes Head of Motorsport Toto Wolff does not rule out a repeat scenario.I have no illusions that 2015 will be an easier year, Wolff said. At this stage in their lives, they are teammates and competitors. This is how it is. It makes no sense to hope for harmony when no harmony can be expected.Mercedes could have defused the situation after the Spa incident by imposing team orders, but, despite the animosity it generated, let them continue racing against each other providing they did not create further controversy.That is when a team is getting pushed forward. The downside — the intense competition — we will live with, Wolff said. We have learned from last season. We have matured as a team, including the drivers. ' ' '
