What happened last night that you need to know about? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best performances. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Hossa overcomes adversity: Fans of the Chicago Blackhawks were finally treated to a major milestone for veteran forward Marian Hossa, who Tuesday night became the 44th player to score 500 goals. Hossa, 37, is one of four active players to reach 500, joining the Florida Panthers Jaromir Jagr (749), the Colorado Avalanches Jarome Iginla (612) and the Washington Capitals Alex Ovechkin (526). Hossas career accomplishments are more than just numbers and Stanley Cups. If he hadnt been able to overcome a massive low point early in his career, he might not have attained his future Hall of Fame success. On March 11, 2000, Hossa was a 21-year-old prospect for the Ottawa Senators when he tried to one-time a loose puck against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He missed and on his follow-through, the blade of his stick struck Leafs defenseman Bryan Berard in the right eye. The devastating injury nearly cost Berard his career, and the former No. 1 overall pick was never the same. Hossa struggled after that incident. At the time of Berards injury, Hossa led the Senators with 27 goals, including 16 points in his previous 16 games. But after the incident, in the last 14 games of the season Hossa scored just two goals. The horrific accident clearly affected Hossa. The guilt could have derailed his career, but he was able to overcome it to become an elite player, and he remains a quality person.We want more Florida: After being dormant for a while, the Battle of the Sunshine State was renewed last season, and it appears to be back in full force. On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning earned a 4-3 shootout victory over the Panthers at Amalie Arena in Tampa. The highly entertaining game ended dramatically and could indicate an interesting season series. Lightning captain Steven Stamkos tied the game with 5.5 seconds remaining in regulation before rookie forward Brayden Point scored in the shootout en route to victory. Tampa begins 3-0-0 for the fifth time in franchise history and for the second consecutive season. If the hockey gods were kind, they would create a postseason matchup between the Lightning and Panthers. Both teams should finish in the top echelon of the Atlantic Division, but a playoff series would be epic, especially with how these teams are currently built. A series like that would be outstanding for the fans and great for hockey. Plus, the travel would be easy.Radulov makes a good impression: Most fans in Montreal will be talking about Al Montoyas 36-save shutout performance to lead the Canadiens to a 4-0 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins?on Tuesday night at Bell Centre. It was a strong performance from the backup goalie, who made his third consecutive start because No. 1 Carey Price remains sidelined with the flu. Lost in the victory for Montreal was the performance of forward Alexander Radulov. Before fans get excited about his offseason addition, lets see how this situation plays out for the Canadiens. The 30-year-old, who signed a one-year deal worth $5.75 million, registered a goal, six minutes in penalties and three shots on Tuesday. It was no doubt an interesting move when Radulov left the KHL to sign with the Canadiens. The former Nashville Predator played only three seasons (two different stints) in the NHL before heading back to the KHL. He earned a bad reputation but appears to have matured and is headed toward being a low-risk, high-reward venture for Montreal. Adidas Schoenen Goedkoop .

CHICAGO -- A native Chicagoan who was a Cubs fan, Adam Rosales took a little extra satisfaction Thursday night when he homered in the 10th inning. Rosales two-out homer helped lift the Oakland Athletics to a 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox. "It feels really special," Rosales said. "I had family in the stands and a lot of friends. I grew up a Cubs fan, I grew up coming here when it was Comiskey (Park). Just to play on this field is a great opportunity, and to do that is just unbelievable to me." Rosales fourth homer of the season came off White Sox reliever Matt Thornton (0-2), one of a season-high four homers for the As. Oaklands Yoenis Cespedes hit two home runs for the second time in three games. Josh Reddick also connected. All four longballs were solo shots. As reliever Jerry Blevins (5-0) pitched the ninth for the win, and Grant Balfour gave up one hit in the 10th for his 14th save. The As have won six of seven and 17 of 20. Oakland is 12-2 during a 17-day stretch without a day off. "The guys have just been awesome, theyve been playing really well, a great team chemistry, guys coming up big and getting big hits and pitchers keeping us in the ballgame," Rosales said. "Its been a great start to the season." Oakland right fielder Reddick had two of the biggest plays of the night. In the bottom of the fifth, he threw out Chicagos Tyler Flowers trying to score from second on Alejandro De Azas single to right. Had Flowers scored, that would have been Chicagos fifth run. "Nobodys really challenged my arm this year," Reddick said. "Thats one thing I take pride in, thats the best part of my game on defence, throwing guys out. For them to actually try that made me feel really good that there are some guys that are going to try and run on that." And Reddicks homer in the seventh tied it 4-all. "Its hard to pick one," Reddick said when asked which play was more crucial. "Theyre both equally as important. The throw-out saves a run and if that run scores, we lose in the ninth. "And, obviously, if you dont hit the home run, we dont go into extra innings and win the ballgame," Reddick added. "Its harder to pick one. Youve got to look at them both the same way and look at them as saving the ballgame." The White Sox have lost nine of their last 10 games and have been outscored 47-26 in their last nine games. Chicago has lost all four games against Oakland this season. "We need to start winning some games or we might be saying bye to some people in July," White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham said. "Hopefully, we can start winning and get a streak going." White Sox starter Jose Quintana went 7 2-3 inningss, giving up four runs on seven hits.ddddddddddddHe did not walk a batter but gave up three home runs. Oakland starter Dan Straily pitched seven innings, gave up four runs on six hits, walked two and struck out three. "I thought (Straily) pitched really well and I think his confidence has gotten to a point where he can give up some runs and still stay with it," As manager Bob Melvin said. "Whereas earlier in the season it might have snowballed or cratered on him a little bit. It was impressive." After Straily retired the first seven batters he faced, the White Sox scored three runs in the bottom of the third. Beckham singled to centre, but was forced at second when Flowers hit into a fielders choice. De Aza doubled down the right field line, scoring Flowers. Alexei Ramirezs bloop single to short centre scored De Aza. Ramirez then stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch by Straily and scored on Alex Rios single to centre. The As broke up Quintanas perfect game with two outs in the fourth when Cespedes drove a 1-1 pitch into the left-centre stands to make it 3-1. Oakland closed the gap to 3-2 in the top of the fifth when Nate Freiman led off with a single to centre and scored on Rosales double just inside the third base line. Beckham led off the fifth with a walk, Flowers double pushed Beckett to third and De Aza singled to score Beckham. Oakland again closed Chicagos lead to one run in the sixth when Cespedes hit his second homer of the game -- and 13th this year -- a one-out drive to right-centre. The As tied it at 4 in the seventh on Reddicks longball to right field, his second of the season. The White Sox played without manager Robin Ventura, who was excused from Thursday and Fridays games to attend his daughters graduation in California. Bench coach Mark Parent filled in for Ventura on Thursday, while pitching coach Don Cooper will manage Friday.
