BERLIN -- Hertha Berlin came from behind to defeat Werder Bremen 3-2 and move provisionally sixth in the Bundesliga on Friday. Zack Cozart Jersey . Hertha striker Adrian Ramos scored twice in nine minutes to cancel out Nils Petersens 15th-minute opening strike, set up by Aaron Hunt on his 200th Bundesliga appearance. Bremen defender Theodor Gebre Selassie bundled Per Skjelbred over in the 17th and Ramos duly equalized from the penalty spot, before Skjelbred played the Hertha striker through to score again from a narrow angle. Hunt equalized four minutes after that, with Peterson returning the favour from earlier to set the Bremen captain up. Crowd favourite Ronny made it 3-2 three minutes into the second half, tucking away what proved to be the winner from a rebound after Raphael Wolf saved Peter Pekariks initial header. "We found it very hard to get into the game. Of course Bremen have their offensive qualities, but we werent proactive enough," said Hertha coach Jos Luhukay after his 50th Bundesliga game. "We had to fight right to the end." Hertha cleared the ball off the line after Hunts late free kick slipped through Thomas Krafts fingers onto the post to hold on for the promoted sides seventh win from 16 games. Bremen, which lost 7-0 to Bayern Munich last weekend, hasnt won in five games and remains 14th before the rest of the 16th round. "Were simply not learning from our mistakes. Week after week its the same (expletive)," Hunt said. "You just cant play like that. Were in the middle of a relegation battle."

Halladays resume as a Blue Jay is among the elite in the franchises 36-year history. Over 12 seasons in Toronto, he was named an All-Star six times.

He remembers the score (3-1). He remembers the opponent (Washington). He remembers the matchup with one of the gamea€?s greatest players (Jagr). He remembers how very anxious he was that day in mid-April when he made his NHL debut in this very building a€“ then named HSBC Arena. a€?Youa€?re a rookie,a€? he said of the experience, a€?youa€?re nervous, and you dona€?t really know what to expect.a€? Tallinder is again auditioning for a spot in the NHL, only this time with 678 career games under his belt a€“ his chances damaged in his preseason return to Buffalo on Friday night. Hea€?s too old to change now, he says. His game is what it is. His experience, which includes an Olympic silver medal, speaks for itself. He is jostling for a job in Toronto with the same type of young, hopeful defender he once was. That bid, which appeared strong at the outset of training camp, is suddenly in major doubt. Tallinder was driven into the end boards by former teammate Mike Weber midway through the middle frame of Fridaya€?s game. His left shoulder took the brunt of the impact and afterward it was diagnosed as dislocated. His NHL career is suddenly in jeopardy in the same place that it all began. Back in the fall of 2002 when that career was just beginning, he was an untried, unheralded 22-year-old Sabres second-round pick simply trying to make his start in the league. Grinding away in Rochester during his first dance through North America, Tallinder, a Stockholm native, was given two NHL games at the conclusion of the 2001-02 campaign. He spent the summer that followed back in Sweden and it was the offseason of his life in many ways. He knew he had to get bigger and stronger to play in the league and spent the warmer months of that year endeavouring to do so. a€?I dona€?t think Ia€?ve ever worked so hard my whole life that summer to be able to get a spot in Buffalo,a€? he said, recalling 10 painstaking workouts each week. a€?It was such a big difference between the American Hockey League and NHL.a€? He was a different defenceman then; quicker, spryer, more energetic, but less nuanced in the game the way he would become over 11 seasons. He had more jump in his body then, a certain and ever-present excitement to join the rush wherever and whenever possiblee. Justin Bour Jersey. All that evolved with age and games logged, most of them here in Buffalo with the Sabres. a€?Ia€?m not maybe as fast as I used to be,a€? Tallinder said, a€?but you compensate with experience.a€? a€?You learn where to be on the ice,a€? he continued. a€?Thata€?s something you dona€?t get to start with. Thata€?s experience. Thata€?s learning.a€? And that will be the choice in some ways for the Leafs in the coming days, (a choice that gets a lot easier if his injury is as serious as it appears) whether to lean with an experienced defender like Tallinder, who might not have much left, or opt for untested youth, the kind in Korbinian Holzer, Stuart Percy and Petter Granberg, that Tallinder once was 12 years earlier. Having a veteran depth defender around a€“ Stephane Robidasa€?s status for the start of the regular season notwithstanding a€“ may be attractive for a team fortunate enough to skate through last season without any serious injuries to its defence. a€?Ia€?m just going out with my business, trying to do what I can do, trying to get better and trying to prove that I can play on this team,a€? says Tallinder, who played more than 500 games as a Sabre. a€?Ia€?m too old now to change anything that Ia€?m doing. Ia€?m going to play my kind of game that Ia€?ve been successful with. Nothing has really changed for me.a€? That game, according to Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle, includes a€?lots of moxiea€? and a cool kind of poise that comes with experience. a€?There is a possibility that he could make our hockey club and play against some top lines,a€? Carlyle observed early in camp. a€?He was a steady defenceman and a really good teammate,a€? former Devils teammate, David Clarkson, says of Tallinder. a€?He brings that stuff, but he also poises you at the back-end. Hea€?s not a guy to make very many mistakes. Hea€?ll get the puck and move it quick. a€?I think therea€?s a lot of things he can do for this team and this organization.a€? Carlyle couldna€?t say how long Tallinder might be sidelined (he missed about a month with a right shoulder injury in 2009), but in any case, whatever hopes he had are now dangling precariously with Holzer, Granberg and Percy pushing for the same job. It would be an unfortunate end for a player who still believes in his ability to play in the NHL. a€?I know I can still play in this league,a€? he said before the game, a€?so ita€?s not that.a€? ' ' '
