Tweet WASHINGTON -- Marian Gaboriks 11-game goal drought has officially reached the point where even he is coming up with new and innovative ideas on how to break out of the slump. Hakeem Nicks Womens Jersey. "I just to have to relax a little bit and I guess close my eyes or something," Gaborik said Friday night following the New York Rangers 2-0 loss to the Washington Capitals in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series. The Rangers head back to Madison Square Garden for Sunday afternoons Game 3 (3 p.m. ET, NBC, TSN, RDS) in a 2-0 hole and with one goal in 138 minutes, 24 seconds in the series. Gaborik hasnt scored since March 20 and has just eight shots through two games against the Capitals. In a series where scoring has been at a premium, the lack of production from the six-time 30-goal scorer who had 42 goals last season is hurting a team that already has a hard time consistently getting three goals in a game. Gaboriks few chances have been from dangerous areas, but he hasnt been able to solve Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth. "If it was, itd be in the net," Gaborik said when asked if his shot is where he wants it to be. "In that crucial time, I just have to bear down. Maybe, Im squeezing the stick too hard. I just have to keep shooting." Two of Gaboriks best chances Friday came off a rush down the right wing in the first period and off a broken play in the third period that resulted in him alone in the slot with the puck on his stick. Both times, Neuvirth was up to the challenge. Gaborik is hardly alone when it comes to the Rangers inability to score -- Brandon Prust had a gaping net in the third period but couldnt put the puck into it. But after 42 goals in the regular season in 2009-10, the pressure will fall squarely on the shoulders of the 29-year-old sniper if the Rangers want to make this a long series. He played Friday on a newly created line with Erik Christensen and Vinny Prospal, but the results remained the same. "Its pretty frustrating obviously," Gaborik said. "You cant win with one goal. We have to try to do everything we can to get the goals -- try to get the ugly goal, make sure we go into traffic and be in (Neuvirths) face and shoot the puck as much we can. "We lost two games here, but you have to try to slip past it. Weve got another two games at home and we need to regroup and keep our heads up."

Youll excuse Scutaro if hes tentative about slipping into a position thats seen little stability since 2004. Patriots Wes Welker Jersey.

It breaks governments monopoly over philanthropic groups and augurs well for pluralistic development of non-government charity organizations. In other words, it signifies the beginning of a new era of charity development in the country. Tom Brady Jersey Super Bowl. -- The Trail Blazers were relieved to finally lock up the sixth seed in the Western Conference. Aaron Hernandez Youth Jersey. Blancos fielders choice grounder plated Alex Gordon with the decisive run to give the Royals their first win in five tries against the Athletics this season. Jesse Chavez (1-0) earned the win with two scoreless innings in relief and Joakim Soria retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth to record his 30th save for Kansas City, which has won four out five.MESA, Ariz. - Rich Hardens US$7 million option was picked up by the Chicago Cubs, shortly after he was the losing pitcher in their final playoff game last fall. Next up was a winter in Arizona, conditioning and strengthening the right shoulder that has caused him trouble over the past two seasons. And the Cubs, as they did in the final month last season, are prepared to take a conservative approach with the hard-throwing right-hander this spring. On the first workout Saturday for pitchers and catchers, the Victoria native practised his hitting but did his throwing on flat ground, not off the mound like most of his fellow hurlers. Dont read anything into it. Weve got a much longer spring than normal, so we dont really need to rush anybody, manager Lou Piniella said. Hes been throwing and feels nice and strong and healthy. Basically were just holding him back a little. Harden was acquired in a trade from Oakland last July and went 5-1 with the Cubs - the same record he had with the As. He made 12 starts for Chicago, pitching well at times with five double-digit strikeout games. But he was limited in the final month to only three starts before his playoff appearance. He finished the season with 25 starts, a figure he hopes to surpass this season. Harden, whose fastball can hit 100 m.p.h., realizes those days of raring back and letting loose could be a thing of the past if he wants to stay healthy for an entire season. The older I get the more I get away from that. I used to go out there and try and put up the big numbers and it was fun, Harden said. But I think those times are over. Every once in a while, yeah. Its more about pitching now, location and changing speeds. And he also knows there could be some skipped starts along the way to ensure his arm stays sound. Hes made six trips to the disabled list in his career, three of them in the past two seasons because of the shoulder You cant really worry or think about it the way it used to be, Harden said. Just deal with it. I got through last year and had success and hopefully I can build on that. Im feeling better and stronger. The 27-year-old Harden is in a rotation that also includes Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster of Gibsons, B.C., and Ted Lilly. Hed like to reach 30 starts, a figure hes hit once - when he made 31 for Oakland in 2004, his second big league season. I got to llearn to back off and try to pace myself and take a day off if thats what I got to do. Victor Cruz Womens Jersey Its tough, but you kinda of learn to manage yourself that way, Harden said. A report in the Chicago Sun-Times says Harden actually has a tear in his right shoulder. Nothing that bad, Harden said without elaborating. General manager Jim Hendry said Harden had the option of rehabbing his shoulder or having surgery that could cost him a year or a year and a half. He has an area in his shoulder that you either continue to rehab it or if you go in and operate on it you may miss 12 to 18 months, Hendry said. But its certainly nothing that he hasnt been able to pitch with, at least the amount of time he pitched last year, 24 or 25 starts. Hes obviously had issues and we knew he had issues when we got him. So all you can do is keep building and try to strengthen the areas where he has his issues and move on. Harden said he initially hurt his shoulder on a fielding play that occurred a while back during his career. I threw a pitch, had a comebacker. It was a one-hopper. I tried to barehand it and it was over my head and over my throwing shoulder, he said. Thats when I did it. It really wasnt throwing. Piniella said Harden will pitch in spring training games eventually and he is expected to be ready for the beginning of the season. So, can he match his 25 starts from a year ago? He might pitch 32. You never know, Piniella said. Were going to watch his pitch count, keep him strong. The kid loves to compete, but at the same time were aware hes had some physical problems and were not going to overtax him. Notes: Piniella said left-hander Sean Marshall has the edge in the competition for the fifth starters role. Aaron Heilman, Jeff Samardzija, Chad Gaudin and rookie Mitch Atkins, who won 17 games in the minors last year, will also get a look. ... Ryan Dempster, who said on the first day of spring training last year that he thought the Cubs would win the World Series, didnt have a similar prediction Saturday. I boldly predict that were going to have a breakfast spread tomorrow and peanut butter and jelly for lunch, he said. Dempster, a 17-game winner who issued seven walks in Game 1 of the playoffs, turned serious and said of winning: At least believe it, you know. I think saying it is obviously a lot more powerful.
