Its becoming increasingly clear that the New York Islanders arent going away. Melvin Ingram Jersey . Tied for the highest point total in the Metropolitan Division, the Islanders got a long trip off to a strong start, and theyll continue their seven-game road stretch against the streaking Calgary Flames tonight. New York (25-11-1) has gone 6-1-1 since a three-game losing streak, putting it in a tie with Pittsburgh with 51 points - a season after finishing at the bottom of the division. The Islanders won their second straight Wednesday, 5-2 over Winnipeg in the opener of the trek that will keep them away from Nassau Coliseum until Jan. 16. Frans Nielsen had two goals and an assist and linemate Ryan Strome had four points for New York, which has scored nine goals in winning two straight. The Islanders went 2 for 7 on the power play in both games. The (past) couple of games, (the line) has been good for us, coach Jack Capuano told the teams official website about the unit that also includes Anders Lee. You have to get secondary scoring, obviously. For me tonight, that line was good. When we play on the road, (opponents are) going to get the matchups that they want against (the John) Tavares line. Youre going to need other guys to step up. Nielsen, Strome and Lee totaled four points in Mondays 4-3 overtime win over Washington. Jaroslav Halak has also keyed New Yorks hot stretch, winning six consecutive starts while posting a 1.79 goals-against average. The Islanders, whose 3.0 non-shootout goals per game is among the best marks in the NHL, continue their trip through western Canada before heading back east for three more road games - two against area rivals New Jersey and the Rangers. New York has gone 2-0-1 in its last three away from home and has 11 wins on the road - tied for the most in the Eastern Conference. We play a loose, confident game on the road, not that we (dont) at home, Lee said. Its just you. Youre against the crowd and against the home team. You just kind of grind it out together and play a simple game. The Islanders sent the Jets to their first back-to-back losses since late November, and theyll try to cool off another hot team in the Flames (21-15-3). Calgary has bounced back exceptionally well from an eight-game losing streak, winning four in a row. Josh Jooris scored in overtime for a 4-3 victory over Edmonton on Wednesday, Calgarys league-leading eighth win when trailing after two periods. The Flames have a plus-23 goal differential in the third period, also best in the NHL, and their 48 third-period goals match Tampa Bay for the most in the NHL. The fact that we battled back again shows the resiliency of this squad, Jooris told the teams website. We never had a doubt in our mind tonight. Intermission everyone was upbeat, positive. I think that helped us in the third. Joe Colborne scored twice to give him three goals in the last three games after having none through his first 18. Calgary, 3-0-0 on a six-game homestand, has taken the last two meetings with New York, winning 4-3 in the most recent one March 7 at the Saddledome behind two goals from Colborne. The Flames outscored the Islanders 3-0 in the third period.

At home in New York, he trains daily at the famed Renzo Gracie Academy.And increasingly when Im on the road, I train at wherever the best place is and if theres no best place, Ill take what I can get, he said in a telephone interview this week.But increasingly as I make the shooting schedule and put together a list of destinations, in the back of my mind Im thinking Can I train when Im there? and if it is a place where they do have an academy, I try to arrange my shooting schedule so if I can wake up very early in the morning and go roll for an hour or two, I will.Training venues have included Scotland, Los Angeles, Miami and South Korea.The discipline required by the sport is a far cry from Bourdains hedonistic days as a chef, documented in his 2000 memoir Kitchen Confidential.Thanks to BJJ, the lanky Bourdain reckons he has lost 30 pounds and Im easily in the best shape of my life.That really wasnt the intention at all. I didnt get into this for my health. But I thinks its a byproduct of (when) you come in every day, try real hard not get your ass kicked.Bourdain gave up smoking when daughter Ariane, who also trains in BJJ, was born in 2007. Jiu-jitsu has prompted moderation in other quarters.The man who relishes eating parts of animals most of us cant even identify says he watches his diet ahead of training.Look Ive had to make adjustments, he acknowledged. If I know with absolute certainty, as I do, that just about every day Im going to be waking up early in the morning, going into the academy and getting my ass kicked by some 22-year-old wrestler, yeah it certainly changed my alcohol intake, I can tell you.Im not drinking anywhere near what I used to and Im much moderate in my eating habits — because you really pay a price for misbehaviour immediately on the mat. You feel it and you pay a price in physical pain and humiliation.Jiu-jitsu is a sport where the learning never ends, which appeals to Bourdain.Its a lot like being back in the kitchen again, in my first days as a young cook where I was the worst cook in the kitchen and there was so much to learn, said Bourdain, fresh from a workout. And every day that I did manage to learn some tiny technical detail that made my game better, that was the kind of satisfaction that I havent hadd in a while. Jason Verrett Jersey. .He also enjoys the very unique community that the sport attracts.People in the BJJ community tend to be very nice and very generous.If possible, Italian-born Ottavia is even more consumed by jiu-jitsu. The 36-year-old trains daily with John Danaher, who helped UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre confound opponents in the Octagon.Ottavia became interested in martial arts after seeing Gina Carano fight on an Elite XC in Newark in 2008. She took up kickboxing and then jiu-jitsu, earning her purple belt this week.Ottavia, who competes in grappling competitions, described her addiction to jiu-jitsu in a January 2013 column for vice.coms Fightland.The most important thing in my life is my family, but BJJ definitely comes second, she wrote. Pretty clothes, shoes, bags, perfect hair, vacations, partying — all those things I once cared about no longer seem so important. As long as I can keep training, Im happy.She trains seven days a week, five hours a day, adding standup classes, Sambo and anything she thinks will help her game.Bourdain took up the sport after his wife booked him a one-hour private class for an article she was writing on the least likely people to ever show an interest in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.The fact I made it through alive made me feel good, Bourdain recalled. And I decided to tenuously try another one and then at some point, shortly after that, I got hooked.In a lot of ways, it is like writing a book. Every day you write your way into a corner, you create a problem for yourself and you spend the rest of the day solving it.He recently earned a fourth stripe as a white belt, one step away from a blue belt.I have to be realistic. Im 58, I will never be winning medals against people a third my age. Jiu-jitsu will not make me younger or smarter — well maybe smarter. I will probably not live long enough to ever get my black belt. But I really deeply enjoy the process of sucking a little less at something every day.I like the fact that its a really steep and endless learning curve. And that its a hard thing. Its easily the hardest thing Ive ever done in my life. Its certainly the most challenging physically ever.Bourdain avoids his wife on a mat these days, saying shes too good for him. But the couple, who met on a blind date set up by friend and fellow chef Eric Ripert, enjoy the UFC together. The UFC is a preferred date night for my wife and I whenever we can, whenever Im not travelling for my show, he said. If theres a UFC event, chances are were front row.I think its fair to say were super-fans.---Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
