Liverpool, England (SportsNetwork. Jack Johnson Team USA Hockey Jersey .com) - Liverpool forward Mario Balotelli has received a one-match suspension from the Football Association for a post he made on social media that appeared to contain anti-Semitic and racist references. The 24-year-old shared a picture of the Nintendo character Super Mario, with a headline that read Dont be racist, and text that added: Be like Mario, hes an Italian plumber, created by Japanese people, who speaks English and looks like a Mexican. He jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew. Balotelli deleted the post and has apologized for it, while he has also been fined $40,000 and ordered to attend an education course. The ban means that Balotelli will miss Liverpools match on Sunday with Arsenal, although the Italy international may not have been fit anyway since he has played just 45 minutes over the past month because of a groin injury. Since his arrival from AC Milan in August, Balotelli has managed just two goals in 15 appearances, and he has yet to open his account in the Premier League for Brendan Rodgers side.

Johan Sundstrom had a pair of goals as the Islanders defeated the Ottawa Senators 5-2 in NHL action Sunday at the Barrie Molson Centre. Kyle Okposo had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who built up a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back while Tavares and Justin Johnson picked up the other goals. The Islanders also beat the Senators 4-1 in a split-squad game in Ottawa on Sunday night. Tavares said his team was eager for the start of the regular season Tuesday. "Weve been looking forward to it ever since we got back to New York for training camp," Tavares said. "(The exhibition season) is part of the journey to get there and its been a lot of hard work, and weve got a few more practices this week. "But its great to be able to end it on a good note and reach this point." Matt Puempel and Cory Conacher replied for the Senators. Okposo opened the scoring for New York when his slapshot deflected off of Senators defenceman Joe Corvos stick and over the left shoulder of Ottawa goaltender Robin Lehner. The Islanders doubled their lead on the power play, as Sundstrom deflected Thomas Hickeys point shot past a partially-screened Lehner. New York pulled ahead 3-0 just 30 seconds later, when Justin Johnson fooled Lehner with a 45-footer that slipped between his right goal pad and blocker. "It was important for us to get off to an early start, but unfortunately, we didnt do that," Conacher said. "It was a rough game all around." Puempel put Ottawa on the board in the second period when he pounced on a rebound in front of the net. However, Sundstrom replied shhortly after with his second of the night, blasting home a cross-crease feed from Joe Diamond. David Backes Jersey. "(Weve improved with) a lot of the timing stuff and getting the rhythm back with your linemates in the system we want to play," Tavares said. "Its about getting all five guys on the ice working together as a unit." Tavares picked up his fourth goal in his fifth pre-season game in the third when he cut towards the slot and backhanded a shot past Lehner. "I think this is the most (exhibition games) Ive ever played, so its been helpful," Tavares said. Conacher rounded out the scoring in the third on a two-man power play, when Clarke MacArthur fed the winger in front of the goal. "Its been a long camp and we were playing the last pre-season game in the league," Conacher said. "Its definitely a different mind-set for some guys, but at the same time, you cant use that as an excuse. "You have to play the same way you always know how to play, and tonight, I dont think we did that as best we could." Although this was considered a home game for the Islanders, the crowd in Barrie was predominantly rooting for the Senators. "It was fun to (play) in front of this crowd here," Conacher said. "Its nice to play in front of different fans that you may have never gotten the chance to play in front of before." Anders Nilsson picked up the victory for the Islanders, stopping 15-of-16 shots in the first half of the game before being replaced by Kevin Poulin, who turned aside all but one of the 16 attempts he faced. Lehner made 33 saves in defeat. The Islanders went 1 for 4 on the power play, while Ottawa scored once on six chances with the man advantage.
