NEW YORK -- Daniel Alfredsson of the Ottawa Senators, Dustin Brown of the Los Angeles Kings and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks are the three finalists for the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award. The award is presented to the player "who exemplifies great leadership qualities to his team, on and off the ice during the regular season." Alfredsson, the NHLs longest-serving active captain, leads the Senators in games played, goals, assists and points. Brown has spent his entire nine-year NHL career with the Kings, serving as their captain for the past five seasons. He is consistently among the league leaders in hits. Toews was named captain of the Blackhawks in 2008 when he was just 20-years-old, making him the third-youngest captain in NHL history at the time. All three players are involved in several charities in their home cities. The winner of the award is selected by Mark Messier, who captained the Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers to Stanley Cup titles in his career. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Scontate .

After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- When the Oakland Athletics wasted an excellent opportunity to take the lead, Albert Pujols made them pay.Pujols hit a two-run homer off Ryan Dull in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Angels an 8-6 victory Wednesday night that extended Oaklands losing streak to five games.Stephen Vogt tied it 6-all with an RBI single in the top of the ninth, but Mike Morin (2-1) relieved Cam Bedrosian and got pinch-hitter Danny Valencia to bounce into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded.It was the second time the As grounded into an inning-ending double play with runners in scoring position.Those were two key spots where were talking about situational at-bats and getting an extra run, maybe two, manager Bob Melvin said. Late in games, when you have runners on and you get two outs in one at-bat, it ends up being a factor.Mike Trout led off the bottom half and hit a grounder to third baseman Ryon Healy, who threw high and wide of first for an error. Pujols then drove a 3-1 pitch from Dull (5-3) far over the left-field fence for his 581st home run.Just a fastball over the middle of the plate when he needed to throw a strike, Melvin said. But we had opportunities, several opportunities throughout the game -- not just in the last inning. And we didnt play defense very well. Those cost you in close games.Trout had three hits and reached on Healys error to start the ninth, diving headlong into first base to avoid a tag. Pujols also finished with three hits to go with three RBI.After his game-ending drive, Pujols slid feet first into home plate before a swarm of excited teammates helped tear off his jersey.The slugger is two home runs behind former St. Louis teammate Mark McGwire for 10th on the career list. Pujols has 1,192 extra-base hits, passing Lou Gehrig for sole possession of ninth place, and his 20th walk-off plate appearance tied him for third-most since 1969, behind Dusty Baker and Rickey Henderson.Guys like Albert, it seems like late in the game, those guys want to be up there, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Theyre going to give you a good at-bat.Jefry Marte and Cliff Pennington homered in the fouurth for the Angels, who have won 10 of 12 at home.ddddddddddddOne night after earning his first save, Bedrosian, filling in for injured closer Huston Street, blew an opportunity when he allowed the tying run in the ninth. Bedrosian put the first five batters of the inning on base before being removed in favor of Morin.After the As scored once in the eighth on Jed Lowries bases-loaded walk to cut the Los Angeles lead to 6-5, Coco Crisp singled leading off the ninth. Max Muncy walked and Vogt tied the game with a single to left-center. Muncy was tagged out in a rundown between second and third, but Bedrosian walked Khris Davis and Yonder Alonso to load the bases.Morin got Valencia to ground into a 1-2-3 double play.Jered Weaver limited the As to four runs (three earned) and nine hits in six innings. Weaver gave up runs in the second, third and fourth, but the Angels tied it in the bottom of each inning before taking a 6-4 lead in the fifth.Thats definitely frustrating on my end. You want to be able to help a team win and hold a lead, Oakland starter Kendall Graveman said. I have to manage it and try to make pitches.Graveman lasted four-plus innings and allowed six earned runs, tying his season high and marking the first time in six starts that hes given up more than three.TRAINERS ROOMLowrie is playing with a bunion on his left foot.
