导出博客文章NEW YORK -- Breanna Stewart is flourishing on the court in her rookie season and
putting up incredible numbers. Unfortunately, those havent translated into many
victories for Seattle.It could grate on the rookie, who already has doubled the
number of losses she had in her entire UConn career, but the No. 1 pick in the
WNBA draft hasnt let it.Its part of the game, I know that, Stewart said of the
losses. Im not going to throw a fit that were losing. Its frustrating having a
winning mentality and not always winning. Coming up short, it gets you.Stewart
held a stat sheet in her hand after Wednesdays 78-74 loss to New York. She did
what she could to help her team win, putting up 24 points and 16 rebounds. It
just wasnt enough.With this league, what Ive learned is that you have to focus
on whats next, Stewart said. Things go so quick, you have another game Friday.
You cant think about this game much longer. Have to focus on San Antonio and get
wins under your belt.Stewart, who couldnt remember the last time she lost
double-digit games in a season, said she still texts regularly with UConn coach
Geno Auriemma. She lost only five games at UConn in four years.I talk to him a
lot, she said. Whether its a couple times a month or a few times a week, it just
depends. Hell check in on me and make sure Im doing all right. Obviously giving
me advice with the losses, the frustration that comes with that. Reminding me, I
cant focus on that.Stewart will reunite with her former coach, who she won four
consecutive NCAA titles under, at the end of the month when she plays for the
U.S. womens team -- led by Auriemma -- at the Olympics.Im going to my first
Olympics, represent the USA. Im excited to wear (the uniform), Stewart said.
Playing in the WNBA is the best way to prepare for it. Playing against players
who will be your opponents or on your team.Shes already left quite an impression
on the league, winning rookie of the month in May and June. She had a
career-high 38 points against Atlanta last month. She is averaging 18.7 points
and a league-leading 9.8 rebounds. She has shown versatility, playing all five
positions on the floor Wednesday night against New York.She plays point, plays
wing, plays post, Seattle coach Jenny Boucek said. However you want to classify
the positions, she does it all for us.Boucek couldnt think of many other players
who have been able to play every position on the floor.Tamika Catchings maybe,
she said. Maybe Candace Parker or (Elena) Delle Donne are similar.Sue Bird has
been in the league since 2002, playing with and against some of the best the
WNBA has had to offer. She is quick to praise the 21-year-old rookie.Whats
impressed me is not what she does, but the amount she does, Bird said. People
compare her to Lauren (Jackson) a lot because of Seattle or Elena Delle Donne
because of the size. Shes a mixture of the two if you can imagine that. Think
about that combination.She can do things down low that Lauren could do. Do
things outside that Elena can do. She might have a better handle than them and
then you add on the fact she can impact the game on the defensive end and her
rebounding. I think people question what her ability is to handle the
physicality of this league and she answered it. Shes in there banging every
night.Stewart hasnt been leaving a mark only on the court. She hasnt been afraid
to speak up on off-court issues. When the Orlando nightclub shooting happened,
she put the names of all the victims on her shoes and then auctioned them off
after wearing them to raise money for them.I dont know how much its going to do
but to bring in more attention towards it and show people that we dont want to
just forget about this, she said. We cant just let this go because its
important.Stewart and Seattle hope the wins will start coming soon. At 6-12, the
Storms are sitting outside of the postseason -- a place Stewart hasnt been in a
long, long time. She knows its a building process and plans to be part of the
Storms success for years to come.---Follow Doug on Twitter at

first place in the Metropolitan Division isnt held by the defending Stanley Cup
champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, nor last seasons Presidents Trophy winners,
the Washington Capitals. Instead, its in the hands of the New York Rangers, a
team that was expected to be on the decline -- and its largely because of their
unheralded secondary talent.Other than the Montreal Canadiens, the Rangers are
off to the hottest start in tthe NHL.dddddddddddd They were the second team to
record 10 wins, and they are now tied for second in the NHL with a record of

the best in the NHL by quite some margin: ' ' '
