First of all, coming back here, coming back here and meeting all the old teammates and guys I havent seen in 20 years, playing in games against those Edmonton legends. And obviously getting back to the Winnipeg people here, its something special. And this outdoor game you dont have a chance to do this very often. So far its been unbelievable.Selanne, retired for two seasons, beat goalie Curtis Joseph between the pads for the winner.The hockey, obviously, wasnt great hockey, but it was competitive, Gretzky said. And the game ended the way it should end -- with the best player on the ice, on the home team, scoring a big goal. And good for him and good for the franchise and great for the city. Tomorrows the real game, though. Tomorrow is what matters. And this isnt going to change our livelihood. But what a great experience.Kris King also scored twice for the Jets, tying it in the third. Selanne opened the scoring on another penalty shot on the way to a 4-1 lead in the first period. King, Dale Hawerchuk and Mike Eagles also scored in the first.The weeks been phenomenal, Hawerchuk said. Ive been out here just about all week. A lot of the guys came in early. And like I said all along, this group, this era, they lived here year-round most of them. And they were part of the Manitoba community here. Not only in Winnipeg. We traveled all through the province, whether it was slow pitch or charity golf events. So, theres a closeness for this group.Mark Messier, Craig Simpson, Craig MacTavish and B.J. MacDonald scored for Edmonton.Getting Gretzky and Messier and those guys here, the lineup for them was unbelievable, Selanne said. I tried to count the Stanley Cups they have in that team. I lost count about 50 or something. Its unbelievable. And getting them here, you know, playing against us, it was really special.Messier soaked in the atmosphere.Personally, its just the incredible passion across Canada, Messier said. And it doesnt matter where you go, where you stop at, where you play. Winnipeg was just another reminder of the incredible passion and the respect and the relationship between the players, past and present. Paul Millsap Jersey .

Its a game we shouldnt lose, you all know that.It wasnt the only game in which Neville felt his team took less than they deserved - but, despite big wins over Rapid Vienna in the Europa League and Granada in the cup, all too rarely were Valencia able to make any dominance count.Lost support of the fans Valencia supporters called for Neville to be sacked during his final game in charge A culmination of poor results across all three competitions left the Valencia fans calling for Neville to be sacked after the 2-0 home defeat to Celta Vigo before the international break.With local media critical of his work and even his mid-game substitutions booed, Neville was up against it.
