CHICAGO -- Reto Berra had the jitters before his first NHL game. wholesale nfl jerseys . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. "I was really nervous, but right before the game when I was sitting in here," Berra said, "I just said, Go out, play your game and have fun. You have nothing to lose. "I put that excitement and nerves into positive energy." Russells shot from the blue line clanked off the crossbar and past Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford, ending Calgarys 10-game losing streak in Chicago. The Flames won at the United Center for the first time since March 2008. "I saw a body in front and tried to get a hard shot off," Russell said. "I dont think hes seen it. Fortunately it went in." "The last few games weve played well but havent got rewarded," Russell added. "Tonight, we had a grinder-style game. Especially coming into a barn like this, I hope we can grab some momentum off this." Mike Cammalleri and Curtis Glencross scored in regulation for the Flames. Calgarys T.J. Galiardi missed on a second-period penalty shot. Chicagos Marian Hossa scored a power-play goal with 4:19 left in the third period to tie it at 2. Patrick Kane also scored for the Blackhawks, who had won three in a row. Crawford made 27 saves. The 26-year-old Berra was recalled from Abbotsford of the AHL on Saturday after the Flames waived Joey MacDonald. The 6-foot-4 Swiss goaltender was acquired in the trade that sent defenceman Jay Bouwmeester to St. Louis last April. Berra was sharp against the Blackhawks, making a handful of point-blank and flashy stops. "Im very proud for Reto," said Flames coach Bob Hartley, who has coached in Berras home country. "He played tonight the same way I saw him play a full year in Switzerland. Obviously, its not the same calibre, but the poise he showed throughout the game. "He never got rattled. The perfect control on every shot. The two shots that beat him were perfect shots. Great win." After a slow start this season offensively, Chicago had scored 24 times in its previous five games. But the Stanley Cup champions showed little of that explosive skill and tempo against Calgary. Although Chicago fired 44 shots at Berra, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville thought there werent enough quality opportunities. "We did put pucks at him, but we didnt get enough rebounds and we didnt get enough traffic," Quenneville said. "Certainly, he was pretty good at controlling those rebounds tonight as well." The Blackhawks outshot the Flames 18-11 in the scoreless first. Berra coolly swept away Chicagos routine chances and turned in a couple of tough stops, including a quick glove save on Andrew Shaw with 5:00 left in the period. Calgarys best chance came with 1:28 left, but Dennis Widemans shot capping a 3-on-2 break was smothered by Crawford. Galiardi was awarded his penalty shot -- the first for Calgary and first against Chicago this season -- at 4:06 of the second after he was hooked from behind on a breakaway by Hossa. He fired wide on the attempt. Kane opened the scoring, beating Berra on Chicagos 23rd shot at 6:25 of the second. After cutting across the top of the Calgary zone, Kane moved to the left faceoff circle and wristed a shot through a screen that fooled Berra on the short side. Cammalleri tied it just 50 seconds later. Left open at the edge of the crease, Cammalleri was able to deflect Widemans shot from the right point in midair and past Crawford. Cammalleri has seven points in seven games since returning from an upper-body injury that sidelined him for the start of the season. Glencross gave Calgary a 2-1 lead at 2:16 of the third on a shot that sailed past Crawfords glove, clanked off the right post and landed in the net. Glencross cut in from left wing and gained a step on Chicago defenceman Sheldon Brookbank. He fired from the circle and Crawford fanned on a glove save attempt. NOTES: Calgary also recalled D Chad Billins from Abbotsford, but he was a healthy scratch on Sunday. ... The Blackhawks were set to leave for Washington following the game, and will visit the White House on Monday to be recognized by President Barack Obama for their 2013 Stanley Cup title. ... Chicago C Michal Handzus missed his fifth game with an upper-body injury, but has resumed skating. ... Sitting out for Calgary were C Lee Stempniak (foot), D Mark Giordano (ankle) and D Chris Breen (abdominal). cheap jerseys .

In a filing made Thursday and a sworn statement submitted by MLB Executive Vice-President John McHale Jr., baseball said that unlike the financing offered by the Dodgers with the hedge fund Highbridge Capital, baseball would not require any liens on the Dodgers assets. In addition, baseball said its loan would be for seven per cent interest, down from Highbridges minimum 10 per cent, saving the Dodgers $4.5 million over a year. Baseball also would reduce the approximately $9.75 million in fees that are part of the Highbridge deal, and the loan also would run through Nov. 30, 2012, after the end of Foxs exclusive negotiating period for the teams next television contract. Baseball was highly critical of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, saying the loan with Highbridge would violate the teams agreements with MLB and asserting he was responsible for "gross mismanagement." "Mr. McCourt has not allowed these bankruptcy cases to change his practice of using the debtors as his personal piggy-bank," baseballs lawyers wrote, adding that it may be necessary for the court to appoint a trustee or examiner. [url=http://www.shopjerseystexans.com/76-white-duane-brown-elite-road-jersey-nik... Duane Brown Elite Womens Jersey[/url]. A hearing before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross is scheduled for Wednesday. On June 28, the day after the team filed for bankruptcy protection, Gross approved $60 million in interim financing pending next weeks hearing. The Dodgers "cannot satisfy their burden of proving that the terms of the Highbridge ... facility are fair and reasonable and that no better financing alternatives are available," MLBs lawyers wrote in a 39-page objection. Baseball claimed the team had "explicitly refused to engage in negotiations" and that "Mr. McCourt has significant conflicts of interest." It said his proposed 17-year media deal with Fox "represented yet another attempt by Mr. McCourt to divert the assets of the Dodgers for his own personal benefit." Baseball also said that since the Dodgers filed for bankruptcy on June 27, the team has taken the position that Tom Schieffer, appointed by Commissioner Bud Selig in April to monitor the teams finances, no longer has any authority. The Dodgers claim that MLBs financing would get Selig and his aides too much control over the franchise. MLB said it had made alterations to its proposal addressing that concern. ' ' '
