Is Kenny still the king?
Is Kenny still the king?
Kenny Dalglish is beginning to run out of friends. His Liverpool team are performing a nosedive in the league, losing five of their last six matches and winning just twice in 11 since the turn of the year. The murmurings of discontent on the red side of Merseyside are growing uncomfortably loud for the man who thought he could do no wrong. Dalglish was hailed as messianic figure when he took over from Roy Hodgson last season. The large amount of credit he built up with the supporters is understandable considering the heroic deeds he performed as player and manager during his first spell at the club.However, the club’s current slump – worse than anything experienced under Hodgson, who was sacked with the spectre of Dalglish looming over him – is too severe to be excused due to good being in the past. Liverpool fans are divided between those who maintain blind faith in their king and those who believe he should not be given an unlimited time frame to achieve success and fans of Bet Victor will be wondering if his time is running out. They agree that the current Reds team is a poor shadow of numerous, even recent, predecessors and that the large fees paid for Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam does not reflect well on Dalglish. The Scot has also been guilty of poor judgement in other areas of his management, most notably through his handling of the Luis Suarez saga. The club’s owners, other managers and the football media were left unimpressed by Dalglish’s intransigence and misreading of an important issue. However, it is the fans that Dalglish will fear upsetting the most. A League Cup victory, the clubs’ first silverware for six years, and the Victor Chandler odds suggest he could secure a cup double, something which has kept the circling vultures at bay, but the Liverpool manager knows that league results are king, not him. A rapid improvement is needed.

Stamkos scores 2, including OT winner for TB (Yahoo! Sports)
Stamkos scores 2, including OT winner for TB (Yahoo! Sports)
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)—Steven Stamkos has been the Tampa Bay Lightning’s go-to guy all season long. When a goal was needed in overtime for the second straight night, the NHL leader put one in. Stamkos scored two goals—giving him an NHL-best 47—including the winner 2:41 into overtime as the Lightning beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 on Saturday night. Teddy Purcell extended his career-best point streak to nine games with a power-play goal in the third, and added an assist on Stamkos’ game-winner. Tim Wallace netted the first goal of his career, and Mathieu Garon had 25 saves in the win. “That was a big character win for our team,” Stamkos said. “We got some breaks with a 5-on-3 when we were able to tie it, and in overtime. Finally, we were able to take advantage of some power plays. We may have not played our best game, but we found a way to win, and that’s what matters.” Tampa Bay won in overtime for the second straight night after beating the New York Rangers at home on Friday. “These guys are doing the impossible, so no matter how we do it doesn’t make a difference,” Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. “We find ways, and we’ll take it.” Anthony Stewart had two goals in his first multipoint game for Carolina, and Jussi Jokinen also scored for the Hurricanes. Carolina captain Eric Staal, who had two assists, extended his NHL-best point streak to 11 games and his assist streak to 10. Staal matched the marks he and Cory Stillman share for the club’s longest scoring streaks since the team relocated from Hartford in 1997. Cam Ward, playing in his 400th NHL game, stopped 19 shots in the loss. The winning goal was scored while Brandon Sutter was in the penalty box following a roughing call at 1:05. Sutter and Stamkos got tangled up on a rush before Sutter collided with Garon. “We played start to finish a playoff-style game,” Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. “Our guys are competing and playing at a high level. I’m really happy with the performance. Stamkos has got the ability to score, and I thought we limited him really well here. He’s a world-class player and he can capitalize on it.” Wallace gave Tampa Bay the lead at 5:58 with his first goal in 58 games. Wallace was in his third game with Tampa Bay after being claimed off waivers from the New York Islanders. Stewart scored the tying goal from Staal at 5:23 of the second, and goals from Jokinen and Stewart made it 3-1 before Stamkos scored on a rush at 18:00. Purcell connected to tie it during a 5-on-3 power play at 7:24 of the third. NOTES: It was the 100th game between the teams. … The Hurricanes went 2-1-3 on their six-game homestand. . RW Chad LaRose played in his first game for Carolina after missing seven because of an undisclosed upper body injury. . D Mike Commodore, playing his second game for the Lightning, was a member of Carolina’s 2006 Stanley Cup championship team. … Jokinen played with the Lightning from 2007-09. … Carolina RW Tuomo Ruutu (eighth game, upper body) and RW Patrick Dwyer (third game, lower body) sat out. … Tampa Bay D Victor Hedman (upper body) missed his fourth game.

Lap-by-Lap: Phoenix (NASCAR.com)
Lap 166—Here come the leaders onto pit road for what should be the final time today. Kevin Harvick’s crew clicks off a 13.1-second stop. Several cars, however, take two tires, including Denny Hamlin. Lap 164—YELLOW FLAG NO. 3: There’s debris reported in Turn 4. Lap 155 — Denny Hamlin is now about a second behind leader Kevin Harvick, with Kahne about four tenths behind him. Lap 153 — The most recent Nationwide Series winner at Phoenix, Sam Hornish Jr., is running in 11th place. Lap 150 — Fifty laps to go. The top five are Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brad Keselowski and Elliott Sadler. Lap 147—Kevin Harvick has led 90 laps so far today. Lap 144—No one will be able to make it the rest of the way without stopping for fuel, so expect one more round of pit stops. Lap 139—Denny Hamlin, in second place, has never won a Nationwide Series race here. None of his Sprint Cup victories have come here, either. Lap 134—Kevin Harvick has just one previous Nationwide Series victory on Phoenix’s one-mile racing surface. He last won here in 2006. Lap 132—Remember, Kevin Harvick isn’t driving his own car this year. He and wife DeLana sold their operation to his Sprint Cup team owner Richard Childress during the offseason. Lap 130—Seventy laps to go. Kevin Harvick leads Denny Hamnlin by 1.7 seconds. Lap 124—Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s spotter, Mike Calinoff, tells the driver that he’s fighting a losing battle with Sam Hornish Jr. Stenhouse responds rather snippily that he’s fighting a loose race car. Lap 119 — A driver who concentrated solely on NASCAR’s No. 2 national series has not won at Phoenix since 2003, when Bobby Hamlinton Jr. accomplished the feat. Lap 114—Michael Annett has slapped the wall, but he’s able to keep going. Lap 113 — As they race for fifth place, Kasey Kahne and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. drop onto the dogleg apron on the backstretch at about the same time. They avoid making contact. Lap 111—GREEN FLAG: Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Joey Logano are the top five. Kevin Harvick clears for the lead going into Turn 3. Lap 106—Kevin Harvick leads the field down pit road for a second round of stops. Lap 104—YELLOW FLAG NO. 2: Kenny Wallace has popped the wall coming off Turn 4. Lap 102 — Never mind. Kevin Harvick’s cushion over Denny Hamlin is back up to 5.1 seconds. Lap 100 — Halfway. Lap 98 — Hey, wait a second! Denny Hamlin has closed to within about 3.4 seconds of leader Kevin Harvick. Does Harvick have some sort of problem, or is he just taking it easy? Lap 91 — Six seconds. Lap 85—Trivia time. Jeff Gordon won the first race in what is now the Nationwide Series at Phoenix back in 1999. Lap 80—Five seconds. Lap 76—Four seconds. That’s the gap between Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin. Lap 70 — Thirty laps to the halfway flags. The top five are currently Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Brad Keselowski. Lap 68—Danica Update! She’s running in 22nd place, the first car one lap down. Lap 62—Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin are now separated by 2.3 seconds, and it’s more than two seconds from Hamlin back to his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano in third place. Lap 61 — Kevin Harvick has put 1.6 seconds on second-place Denny Hamlin. Lap 59 — Brad Keselowski gets past Kyle Busch for seventh place. Lap 56—Kyle Busch scrapes the wall coming off Turn 2, but manages to keep going. He was running in third place at the time after taking just two tires on his stop under the caution. Lap 52 — Kevin Harvick gets a big run off Turn 4 to wrestle the lead from Denny Hamlin. Lap 50—Austin Dillion gets a little out of shape coming off Turn 4, but collects it without further incident. Lap 49—GREEN FLAG: Denny Hamlin and Elliott Sadler make up the front row on the restart, and Sadler has nothing for Hamlin. Kevin Harvick takes second from Sadler. Lap 45 — The leaders are on pit road. Kasey Kahne has a very slow stop of more than 21 seconds. Oops! Denny Hamlin takes two tires, Kevin Harvick two. Lap 43—YELLOW FLAG NO. 1: The caution is out for debris in Turn 2. Lap 41 — The top five are currently Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick and Trevor Bayne. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has picked his way back up to sixth place. Lap 38—With a cushion of 2.3 seconds, Denny Hamlin is on cruise control. Are they sure that’s not Kyle Busch in the car? It can’t be. Busch is in his own No. 54 entry today! Lap 29—The same “speed up” warning is given to Charles Lewandoski. Lap 27—According to the control, Tim Schendel needs to pick up the pace. Schendel is in 37th place, already two laps behind leader Denny Hamlin. Lap 25—Kasey Kahne has cut about four-tenths of a second off Denny Hamlin’s advantage, but he’s still more than 1.2 seconds back. Lap 22—Kevin Harvick gets position under Trevor Bayne for fourth place. Lap 20—Denny Hamlin has opened up a leader of 1.6 seconds over second-place Kasey Kahne.

Lap 8—Drivers are beginning to chop the hump off the backstretch, dropping well off the apron to shorten the racing groove. Trevor Bayne is now your leader. Lap 6—Trevor Bayne is now shown in second place, about three tenths of a second behind leader Denny Hamlin. Lap 3—Ricky Stenhouse Jr. continues to fade, as does Kenny Wallace. Lap 1—GREEN FLAG: The race goes green at 4:46 p.m. ET. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. slips between Turns 1 and 2, and drops back to fifth. 4:42 p.m. ET — Remember, it’s Denny Hamlin in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, not Kyle Busch. Denny, not Kyle. Denny, not Kyle. OK … got it. I think … 4:41 p.m. ET — The pace car is beginning to ease off pit road. The green flag will come out the third time by the starter’s stand. 4:38 p.m. ET—Ralph Woodward, a Bashas’ Supermarkets employee, gives the command to fire engines. 4:33 p.m. ET — Two F-18s from the VFA 94 “Mighty Shrikes” squadron do the fly-over. Bucket list! 4:31 p.m. ET — Shaeleigh, OneSun Entertainment Group Recording arist and 2011 winner of Radio Disney’s Next Thing Talent contest, is singing the national anthem. 4:30 p.m. ET—The invocation is being said by Phoenix International Raceway Chaplain Ken Bowers. 4:25 p.m. ET—Five minutes remain before the invocation and national anthem. 4:22 p.m. ET — A sound check is being conducted with NASCAR officials on pit road and in the garage. 3:18 p.m. ET — Qualifying for the Bashas’ Supermarkets 200 is finished, and Denny Hamlin will start from the pole position after turning in a lap of 132.979 mph.
