asked robert for reports. three points that old still have to grips is the twenty second of december twenty. eight games in a row without a win truly shocking status for the club still waiting themselves as one of the main favorites for the glory of this year the visit of the cape chills side. like a good chance for the must go i threw cover however despite their lowly status the visitors boost a recent record. with four wins in four games. you know will quick to get down to business creating a number of bugle scoring chances early in the first period one of them wasted by the blue and white slate is signing the two thousand and nine stanley cup winner shopping i but they did manage to open the scoring in the second period or.

wrestling home from the blueline to make it one meal i six minutes later granted extended to him size lead. to neil i bought the just bored back. bills of turning this one one chance in to go to make it two one by the second their mission i know went to a head in the final period but their opponents managed two goals like including the slap shot from said in too low terms in your glacial time i was goal is in overtime meaning the game went down to a shoot out and it was done out for the noma as the only man to find the net was the visitors three some and getting victory to be just i didn't get the result on his i think. oh i think we had more of the game played by a truck just to score and. he was out of chances and to win this game so i think

that this side of his game. would like to apologize to our phones we could have decided the game in the first period we created so many chances but most of them wasted. you know are still in the verge of a place in the playoffs but we all know that we said chances there will be severely punished. for it but in their own party. all right that brings us on to tennis where lleyton hewitt will enter next week's australian open and hot form after tension the kooyong classic kron the former world number one has won two grand slams during his career but his home manager is not one of them he'll be hoping that's all set to change this season after doing well just about everything right opens traditional warm up in melbourne the first set against able face going down to the wire but hewitt was able to finish when it mattered french more face being suffering with a buck problem of late on his second step. formants was testament to that but

hewitt himself just recently returned from a three month layoff with one hundred seven five six three how it ended up meaning the odds shorten just a little on the first home champion in thirty five years he also you. or i let's move to american football where the business end of matters in the n.f.l. gets going this weekend the divisional playoffs start off with a bang on sunday with baltimore facing off against pittsburgh while green bay and a.f.c. top seeds of planted for company looking ahead to the clashes events of course. for another bruising round of the n.f.l. heavyweight match of the ravens steelers rivalry the team split their. game apiece in the regular season with each win three points. their patented self defense and improved passing off a thirty to seven victory over the chiefs in the wild card. the steelers watched

a family tragedy veteran receiver derek mason meanwhile knows there's no love lost between the sides. the green bay packers travel to the top seeded atlanta falcons in the n.f.c. divisional playoffs the visitors battled adversity all season. to keep personnel and prevailing in. wild card game beating philadelphia twenty one to sixteen packers defensive lineman desmond bishop however their rankings go out of the window at this time of year. talking about the seed. we feel like we're in a playoff just like everybody else. you know. the

packers. yet as they head into the rowdy ga the already lost. five of six that feeds this season came. third year quarterback matt ryan has only lost twice at home in the past twenty two games but he also has something to prove have never won a season a tough test for ryan with one of the league's most feared pass rushers clay matthews the third just want to. go to pro bowlers probably could have been three. you know. a really good cover guys but also really good at playing the ball so it's a good defense especially one thing that hasn't changed. so anticipation is building for exciting hard to predict divisional games kicking off a great weekend of full season action. are key to get ready for fireworks one of the world's most successful cycling team.
