    KAMLOOPS, B. [b]Niklas Hjalmarsson Jersey[/b] .C. -- A stolen deuce in the ninth end was the back-breaker for Saskatchewan Tuesday night at the Canadian mens curling championship, as Alberta claimed a share of the lead going into the home stretch. But Saskatchewan (4-2) skip Steve Laycock says they had no one to blame but themselves at the Tim Hortons Brier. "Odds were still stacked against us even tied up coming home," he said after losing 8-6. "The real problem was we had lots of chances in that ninth end to set up a two and just heavy on a few hit and rolls and taps and stuff." Until then it had been a horse race, although Laycock was clearly the underdog. "We expected a close game all the way," said Koe, who advanced to 6-1 along with John Morris of B.C. "I was a little surprised with that steal of two in nine." Perhaps he shouldnt be, since hes at the top of the list when it comes to shotmaking by skips at this event, although Brier rookie Greg Balsdon of Ontario sits just below him with the same overall percentage of 86. Balsdons numbers got a big boost Tuesday night Eddie Mackenzie from Prince Edward Island (3-4) didnt bother to throw his last rock in the eighth end as he dropped 8-3 to Ontario (4-2). Balsdon is still very much in the hunt but knows he has his toughest games ahead. "Weve got a tough stretch coming up," he said. "Weve got Johnny Mo (Morris), Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba our next four games. If we could even split those games and end up 6-4 going into the last draw I think wed take it." Jean-Michel Menard of Quebec (3-3) was down early, came back and forced an extra end, but still lost 10-8 to James Grattan of New Brunswick (2-5). Jamie Koe of the Northwest Territories-Yukon (2-4) defeated winless Jamie Murphy of Nova Scotia 7-4. Laycock says theyd be satisfied just to know theyre in the playoffs, but theyre not giving up hope of finishing in the top group. "We know we can beat these teams when it comes crunch time, weve just got to play better than we did tonight." Koe says it would be nice to stay on top of the leader board instead of having to work his way into the final through the 3-4 game. "Im not too worried about who were tied with at the top as long as you keep going and start looking at who plays who and probably where youre at Thursday." Manitobas Jeff Stoughton was another favourite heading into the Brier and he recovered from a 9-7 loss in the morning Tuesday to steal one in the 10th and beat Nova Scotia 8-6 in the afternoon. But a clutch shot through a narrow port even had his own team covering their eyes. Nova Scotia skip Murphy was light on his last-rock draw attempt to force an extra end. The Manitoba skip agrees he and third John Mead havent been as sharp as they need to be. "Both John and I need to make better shots," Stoughton agreed. "Weve just got to clean up the little mistakes." He says their draw weight is good but their hits and peels are a little off. "Were really close and were working hard." Newfoundland and Labradors Brad Gushue retained at least faint hope of making the playoffs with an 8-5 win over Grattan. But after dropping a morning game 7-6 to Saskatchewan, the 2006 Olympic champion said there is no room left for more losses if they want to stay alive. "Yeah, that fourth loss this morning was a punch in your gut," said Gushue. "You know your backs against the wall and you cant afford to lose any more. And its not only winning for more in the round robin, its probably winning a tiebreaker, the 3-4 game, semifinal and final against some world-class teams." The odds are long and it may not be entirely up to him, he admits. "Ive seen 7-4 get in the playoffs, Ive seen 6-5 get in the playoffs. But most of the time it probably doesnt. So youre going to need some help." [b]Jeremy Roenick Jersey[/b] . -- Michael Frazier II scored 21 points, Dorian Finney-Smith added 11 and No. [b]Christian Fischer Jersey[/b] .

Donovan scored twice in the first half, tying Jeff Cunninghams MLS career goals record in the Galaxys 5-0 victory over Chivas USA on Sunday. Donovan has 134 regular-season goals, passing second-place Jaime Moreno (133) and matching Cunninghams total. The Galaxys home crowd gave a warm halftime ovation to Donovan, whos likely to reign high atop the list in the coming years. "If this had happened earlier in my career, I would have thought about it more," Donovan said. "But were in a playoff race right now, so for us, its about winning. But at halftime, it hit me, and I realized it. Ill sit and think about it at some point, but for now, I want to keep going." The U.S. national team star scored in the 23rd minute on a sharp pass from Gyasi Zardes before tying the record in the 41st minute with a beautiful chip shot over Chivas goalie Dan Kennedy. After the Galaxy ran out the clock on a blowout win in the SuperClasico rivalry, Donovans thoughts already were on the Americans upcoming World Cup qualifier and the Galaxys next match against Montreal. "It would be nice to get (the record) out of the way so theres no attention on it," Donovan said. "I would trade maybe not all of them -- but most of them -- for another championship ring." Donovan bounced back impressively after struggling through a scoreless September on a sprained left ankle. With the Galaxy needing wins to stay in playoff contention, the 31-year-old star finally pulled even with Cunningham, who played eight of his 14 MLS seasons with Columbus. Robbie Keane also scored two goals for the two-time defending champion Galaxy, who ended a four-match winless skid. "The way we started until the end was very professional, very dominating," said Keane, who didnt realize Donovans accomplishment until afterward. "Its a great achievement for anybody to score that many goals. He was good. I think everybody performed in this one." Zardes scored a goal and helped Donovan set up Keanes opening goal in the sixth minute as the Galaxy trounced their StubHub Center co-tenants. Los Angeles won the SuperClasico for the siixth straight year. [b]Shane Doan Jersey[/b]. The Galaxy won without coach Bruce Arena, who served a one-game suspension for leaving his technical area in last weeks loss at Portland to protest a call. Associate head coach Dave Sarachan ran the bench. Jaime Penedo earned his third shutout in seven games with the Galaxy. While Donovan reached milestones and Keane put on yet another multigoal performance, the game also was a showcase for Zardes, whose runs down the left side caused misery for Chivas defence, particularly Mario De Luna. The midfielder also scored on a scramble in the box in the 26th minute. "I felt like (De Luna) was inviting me down the line, so I took it," Zardes said. "Ill do my best to keep playing well so (Donovan) can break even more records." The rivals played an afternoon game on a sweltering day in Southern California, with the temperature reaching 93 degrees at game time. The Galaxy chose a curious day to wear their third jerseys, an all-black ensemble with red and green trim in an homage to the clubs original jerseys. Despite the temperature and their inopportune attire, the Galaxy opened with fire. Los Angeles opened the scoring when Zardes made a run down the left side and found Donovan, who made a back pass to Keane in the middle of the Goats disorganized defence. Donovan then scored on a remarkably similar pass from Zardes, who threaded the ball past three defenders and onto Donovans foot. After Zardes scored three minutes later, Donovan capped the first-half barrage with a sharp run onto a pass from Pablo Mastroeni and a delicate chip over Kennedy for the record-tying score. Keane added his second goal in the 90th minute, giving him 15 goals in 20 games during another standout MLS season. The Galaxy fans in the Angel City Brigade section chanted "Relocation!" at the Chivas supporters during stoppage time. Galaxy and U.S. national team defender Omar Gonzalez sat out the second half to rest a strained groin muscle. Gonzalez was called up along with Donovan for the Americans World Cup qualifying match against Jamaica in Kansas City on Friday. "Its just something Ive been dealing with for a long time now, and its something I can get over," said Gonzalez, who confirmed hell go to Kansas City "no matter what."
