Für unsere Gäste » League since Ferguson took over at Old Tr

What do you need to know about the weekends big stories? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Offensive New Yorkers: The New York Rangers are pumping in goals at an incredible pace. The Rangers lead the league with 55 goals in the first 13 games and are atop the Metropolitan Division at 10-3-0. They have scored five or more goals in eight of their 13 games, including the last five, and lead the league in goals per game with 4.23. The best part is the scoring is being generated throughout the lineup. Over the past five games, the line of Michael Grabner, Kevin Hayes and J.T. Miller has combined for 23 points (12 goals and 11 assists). There was a point last season when coach Alain Vigneault had Hayes sitting in the press box as a healthy scratch because he wasnt productive. It served as a wakeup call, and Hayes used that as motivation during the offseason. Hayes scored a goal and was a plus-2 to help the Rangers capture a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night. Hayes is on a five-game points streak (four goals, nine assists), and his four-game goal-scoring streak is a career high. Hes also a plus-11 in the past five games. The teams plus-26 goal differential also leads the league and proves the Rangers are a force to be reckoned with this season.Blackhawks still got it: After becoming the kings of perennial success over the past six seasons, one would have to wonder when the Chicago Blackhawks would run out of gas, luck and the ability to win consistently. It will happen, right? And if so, when? The answer: Not yet. On Sunday, the Blackhawks defeated the Dallas Stars 4-3 in overtime, giving them their sixth straight win and a 7-1-1 mark at home. While some might question the production of Jonathan Toews or Patrick Kane -- the captain and defending Art Ross winner are both off last seasons pace -- the Blackhawks are getting incredible contributions from Artem Anisimov, who had one goal and one assist Sunday to extend his career-high points streak to 11 games. He has eight goals and nine assists in that span. Kane scored his fifth of the season, while Toews added his third. There is too much talent on this team in the prime of their careers to think Chicago is going in the opposite direction. After 13 games, the Blackhawks lead the Central Division with 19 points. A lot of that success so far is based on the goaltending of Corey Crawford and the stellar play of Anisimov. Once Kane and Toews get hot, and it will happen, Chicago is going to be an even more dangerous team.Blowout rebound: By now youve heard about the Columbus Blue Jackets demolishing the Montreal Canadiens 10-0 on Friday, an embarrassing loss for the Atlantic Division leaders. The Canadiens entered that game 9-0-1. Montreal had won eight in a row and had only allowed 13 goals in the previous 10 games. Its a loss the Canadiens -- especially goalie Al Montoya, who was in net for all 10 goals -- wont soon forget but need to learn from. They showed that ability to quickly bounce back with a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Those two games should serve as a benchmark for the Canadiens. After losing in that fashion on Friday, it could easily have been the beginning of a losing skid, which weve often seen before. Instead, they showed character to rebound from a devastating loss. That tells me every player is on the same page in the dressing room. That tells me the overall organizational message is understood. It also proves Montreal will be a dangerous team to defeat consistently. There were questions entering the season whether coach Michel Therrien had lost his players and how long he would last if the Canadiens got off to a tough start. This team is legit, and despite losing by double digits, the coachs job is safe, judging by his teams response. Nike Zoom Outlet Italia .

Nike Zoom Saldi . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U.The incredible tenure and career of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson will come to an end on Sunday at The Hawthorns, home ground of West Bromwich Albion. And one of the most amazing aspects of his time in charge has been his success and influence over the English Premier League. "His drive, ambition, skill, passion and vision have not only shaped Manchester United, but in many ways the game of football as we now know it," said Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore this week. Ferguson took charge at Manchester United in November of 1986 and inherited a team that was near the bottom of the standings, pushing them into mid-table by the end of his first season in at the helm. And when United captured the inaugural Premier League title during the 1992-93 season, it was Fergusons first league title as well as the first won by the club in 26 years. "The most important achievement was winning the first championship," said Ferguson after collecting his final League title as manager this week. "Once we did that, the door opened and we just grew and grew. In that time we had some fantastic teams." The dominance they would go on to show over the rest of their League competition from is staggering. United, under Ferguson, have won the Premier League 13 times while finishing as runners-up an additional five times - out of the 21 seasons that have been contested. By comparison, perennial contenders Chelsea and Arsenal have three each and are the only others to have won multiple Premier League titles in that span (Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers hold the other two championnships).dddddddddddd "You have to respect his decision," said long-time Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. "It is sad because it is the end of a remarkable career. He got a lot of praise that he deserves." United have been three-time defending champions twice and have never finished lower than third in the standings. On top of that, many of Fergusons former players have gone on to become managers themselves, including Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes, Roy Keane, Paul Ince, Chris Casper, Darren Ferguson, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Henning Berg. Even more incredible is the fact that 169 others have managed in the Premier League since Ferguson took over at Old Trafford more than 26 years ago. With the recent dismissal of Roberto Mancini, Manchester City have now had 14 different managers - including former United player Hughes - while Ferguson has been in charge across town. Along with his 13 League titles, Ferguson has also captured the FA Cup five times and the League Cup four times. Not to mention that Treble in 1999. Ryan Giggs - a member of the squad for all 13 Premier League title seasons - sums up what Ferguson has meant to the team and League. "It is a fitting tribute to the manager after so long and so much success," he said. "As much as it is for the team, its for the manager, for himself, what he has achieved and what he has done to this football club. He deserves everything he has got. He has been brilliant for us all. He is a great manager he is successful and he is a winner. To do it for so long is incredible, he is a fantastic manager." ' ' '
