TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Theres nothing passive-aggressive about the relationship between Alabama coach Nick Saban and offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin.When Saban isnt happy, Kiffin knows it. And sometimes, such as during Bamas 38-10 win against Western Kentucky on Saturday, the whole world gets to see his displeasure.Up 28 points with less than a minute left in the game, Saban snatched off his own headset and ripped into Kiffin, screaming while walking alongside him on the field. At one point it looked as if Saban might throw his headset toward Kiffin, who didnt raise his voice or respond in an inflammatory way. Kiffin simply put his hands on his hips and listened.When Saban was asked after the game what the argument was about, he disputed the way the question was worded.There are no arguments, he said. Those are called ass-chewings.Saban did not specifically say what the chewing was about.Although the Crimson Tide beat Western Kentucky handily, Saban wasnt pleased with his teams performance, calling it the most disappointed hes ever been after winning a game.Alabama had an uncharacteristic 12 penalties, rushed for fewer than 3.3 yards per carry and had a late fumble that set up Western Kentuckys only touchdown of the game.Saban could be seen getting on to Kiffin as early as the first quarter, when a drive stalled out and Alabama was forced to settle for a field goal inside the red zone.We have lots of work to do, Saban said. Were going to play a lot better teams. I didnt think we practiced very well this week. I didnt think we prepared very well for this game. I dont think we respected the team we played. Like I said before, when youre arrogant, it makes you complacent. It creates a blatant disregard for doing things right. If we dont start doing things right, were not going to have the kind of success that were capable of.Ever since Kiffin was hired as offensive coordinator in 2014, scenes like the one on Saturday have occurred at times. Saban and Kiffin will disagree, sometimes theres a brief back and forth, and then its over.Kiffin, who came to Alabama after being fired as coach at USC in 2013, doesnt speak to the media during the season, per the schools policy. He received a raise on Friday, seeing his salary improve from $714,000 last season to $1.4 million for this season.?Nmd Schuhe Online .

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St.Before each round of the NHL Playoffs, Scott Cullen crunches a few numbers and comes up with an expected goals for and against for each team, based on shot differentials and save percentages. In the first round, the team with the higher expected goals, using these calculations, won seven of the eight series, with the Los Angeles Kings win over the St. Louis Blues upsetting the bid for perfection. Round Two brought middle of the road results, 2-2, with two goaltenders providing dramatically different results than their previous play. The Kings Jonathan Quick had the worst save percentage among starting goaltenders going into the playoffs (.902) and Ottawas Craig Anderson had the leagues best save percentage (.941) during the regular season. so, naturally, Quick had a .951 save percentage against San Jose in Round Two and the Kings needed every one of the saves he provided. Anderson was overpowered by Pittsburghs high-powered offence in the second round, posting an .884 save percentage. Since Im the first one to emphasize that overall statistics (or standings) are not necessarily representative of the current value for a team, especially with respect to injuries, these statistics merely provide a baseline for the series, perhaps providing an idea what a team needs to do in order to emerge victorious. In some cases, teams will simply need to keep doing what theyve been doing throughout the regular season; in others, they might need better goaltending, or fewer shots against, or more shots for -- just something -- to provide better expected results in a seven-game series. The calculations below are simple and the expected goals for each team in the series are determined by taking each teams shots for and against over the course of the season and splitting the difference. So, Chicago has 31.8 shots on goal per game through the regular season and second round of the playoffs and Los Angeles has allowed 25.9 shots on goal per game; the average of those two numbers is 28.8 shots, so thats the number that is then multiplied by (1 - the opposing goaltenders save percentage) to determine an expected goals per game. Finally, the number is multiplied by seven to indicate an expected goal total for a seven-game series. Theres no guarantee that scoring more goals in a series will result in winning four games first, but the odds certainly favour the team that scores more.TeamSFSAGoaltenderSV%Expected GF/SeriesChicago31.dddddddddddd826.7Corey Crawford0.92916.96Los Angeles28.725.9Jonathan Quick0.91613.77 Verdict: If Quick is going to keep playing in the unconscious manner that he has through the first two rounds, its going to be awfully tough for the Blackhawks to score enough to win the series. Corey Crawford has played well in goal for Chicago, and the Blackhawks have a positive shot differential (+5.1) that, if it holds up, gives them a chance.TeamSFSAGoaltenderSV%Expected GF/SeriesPittsburgh30.630.0Tomas Vokoun0.92114.91Boston33.629.4Tuukka Rask0.92917.59 Verdict: Just as Jonathan Quick has upset the apple cart for this model, so too have the Pittsburgh Penguins, in part because of their playoff-leading power play that has counted for 13 goals in 11 games this postseason. With marginal shot differentials this season, the Penguins have needed to fare better on the percentages and lighting up the power play sure helps in that regard so, if we make the assumption that Boston can win the shots on goal battle, they will still need to find a way to slow down the Penguins power play. Bostons penalty killing during the regular season was great (87.1%), ranking fourth in the league, but Ottawas penalty killing was the best in the league (88.0%) during the regular season and the Penguins still went 6-for-25 (24.0%). Since the Penguins are also getting very good goaltending now that Tomas Vokoun has taken over in net, that means Tuukka Rask has to be nothing short of excellent for the Bruins.
