Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou has demanded A-League expansion - and soon - to cater for what he sees as incredible growth in the sport.Postecoglou has used his soon-to-be published book, Changing the Game, to challenge the sports decision-makers, issuing a call to arms to grow the league.Those decision-makers, Football Federation Australia, are also his employers as national team boss.But the Asian Cup-winning coach hasnt cut the governing body any slack in comments that are likely to hurry the pace of A-League expansion on the eve of the new season.Consolidating at a time of growth seems counterintuitive to me. We should be right in the middle of an investment boom, he writes.The A-League is a great product but it cant be what Australia needs it to be with just ten teams.It may be enough for a financial model in a boardroom but its out of whack with the reality of the opportunity.Postecoglou details his ideal Australian competition - with 15 or 16 teams, derbies in each state, running from August or September to May including finals.Id be getting there as fast as I could. Id be breaking doors down to make it happen, he writes.Football seems to be in an introspective mode at the moment. Were head down, dealing with todays problems.What are we waiting for? Lets get it done.Postecoglou does not address a possible two-tier system, with promotion and relegation, which is impossible until 2034 at the earliest given the licenses of A-League clubs.Speaking ahead of the books launch on October 3, Postecoglou said he was eager to remove a cap on talent and enthusiasm.My push comes from a pretty simple, basic premise. More and more people are loving the game and playing the game, he told AAP.The one thing you dont want to do is deny young boys and girls, people that want to play the game and support the game, the opportunity to do so because of limited spots.Changing the Game, written with Andy Harper, details Postecoglous rise - and pitfalls - on the road to becoming Socceroos coach.But he isnt shy of offering an opinion on the state of the sport.Postecoglou also savaged his employers for their money-grabbing approach to staging the 2015 FFA Cup final.The competition decider, won by Melbourne Victory over Perth Glory, was witnessed by a half-empty AAMI Park with just 15,098 people last November.The Socceroos coach called it a classic example of the sports decision-makers putting profit before sense.Whats more important, money in the bank or the opportunity to sell out the stadium and make a statement? he writes.Deciding in favour of the balance sheet is consolidation, not a growth strategy.

CHICAGO -- Kris Versteeg got a big shootout goal against his old team. Brian Elliott finally got his first win with his new one.Versteeg scored the lone goal in the tiebreaker in the seventh round to give the Calgary Flames a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night and just their second victory this season.Versteeg, who won Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks in 2010 and 2015, faked Corey Crawford, pulled to a stop while dragging the puck and then fired a wrist shot into a wide-open net.It was definitely a little nerve-wracking when everyone kept missing, said Versteeg, who took part in a shootout for the first time since the 2014-15 season. To go in and score is a nice feeling.Ive probably taken two shots (in the shootout) in the last three years. It doesnt happen too frequently anymore, so when I do, I just kind of black out.Elliott made 31 saves through overtime and blocked all seven in the shootout to win for the first time with Calgary after three losses. Acquired from St. Louis in June, Elliott had allowed 14 goals in his first three starts for the Flames.I definitely wanted that one, Elliott said. We havent been playing like we wanted to and the guys came out and had a heck of an effort.Elliott was at his best with the game tied at 2 late in the third and in overtime, when Chicago had a power play and outshot Calgary 6-1. He made two point-blank saves on Richard Panik in the final three minutes of regulation, including a toe save from the edge of the crease as time ran out.It was a rebound right to him in the slot, and I just tried to throw the furniture at it, Elliott said. Got a piece of it with my skate. It was good but I was on my butt and swimming to get back up.Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan scored in regulation for Calgary, which snapped a two-game losing streak.Patrick Kane and Brian Campbell connected in regulation for Chicago.Campbells goal, his first with the Blackhawks since rejoining them as a free agent in the offseason, tied it 2-all at 4:12 of the third. Campbells feed from the right circle, intended for AArtem Anisimov, deflected in off Calgary defenseman T.ddddddddddddJ. Brodie.Crawford blocked 29 shots through overtime and made several close in saves early to keep it close.The Blackhawks sputtering penalty killers permitted two power-play goals in five chances to the Flames, who entered the game having scored just once in 25 opportunities with the man advantage. Chicago has allowed 14 goals in 26 short-handed situations this season and at least one power-play goal in each of its seven games.It seems like it (penalty-killing) finds a different way each time, coach Joel Quenneville said.The Flames connected on their first two power-play chances before the Blackhawks killed the final three.I think we got more involved as the game progressed as far as having bodies and pucks to the net, Quenneville said. But not enough initially and it took us a while to get into that department.Bennett knocked in Calgarys second power-play goal of the season at 4:51 of the first period. He converted a rebound of Dougie Hamiltons shot from the right circle after outmuscling Chicago defenders to the loose puck.Kane tied it at 1 at 1:32 of the second period with a rising shot from the right circle over Elliotts glove.Monahan converted the Flames second power-play chance at 6:52 of the second to put Calgary ahead 2-1.Game notes Chicago rookie D Gustav Forsling suffered an undisclosed injury in the second period and didnt return. ... Veteran Blackhawks D Michal Rozsival made his season debut after sitting out Chicagos first six games as a healthy scratch. First-year D Michal Kempny was a scratch for the first time. ... Chicago rookie F Vincent Hinostroza was scratched for a third straight game. ... Calgary rookie F Matthew Tkachuk, son of former NHL standout F Keith Tkachuk, was scratched for the second straight game.UP NEXT:Flames: play the second of a back-to-back at St. Louis on Tuesday.Blackhawks: play at New Jersey on Friday.
