TAMPA, Fla. Nike Dunk High Femme . -- After another big offensive night, Steven Stamkos gave the credit for the Tampa Bay Lightnings latest win to goalie Ben Bishop. Stamkos had two goals and Bishop made 38 saves, helping the Lightning beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Thursday night for their sixth win in seven games. "Hes the reason why we won," Stamkos said of Bishop. "Im not very happy with the way we played. If it wasnt for Bish, its not a win for us. We didnt deserve the win." Bishop (10-2-0) made saves on first-period breakaway shots by Mark Arcobello and Taylor Hall. "Best player on the ice. ... hands down," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. "Dont need to comment on it anymore." Stamkos, who extended his goal-scoring streak to five games, has 13 goals this season. Tampa Bay was outshot 40-26. "Absolutely. Boy, its a crazy game," Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. "Theres been games this season where youve won the game and maybe you didnt think you deserved it, and youre upset with your play. And theres been games that weve lost where weve been disgusted with ourselves as a group. And then tonight, its one of those nights where ... I loved the way we played. And I thought we played with passion and we competed hard." Taylor Fedun and Hall scored for the Oilers, who have lost six of seven. Fedun, playing in his second game, also scored in his NHL debut Tuesday night at Florida. Hall, the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, returned after missing seven games due to a knee injury. His in-close power-play goal got Edmonton within 3-2 midway through the third. "As far as my game goes, its just tough when you lose the game," Hall said. "Thats the main thing. Were searching for wins right now, and whatever anyone can do is huge." Stamkos put the Lightning up 1-0 when he beat Devan Dubnyk from the high slot 7:37 into the game. The centre has eight goals and 12 points during a seven-game point streak. After Fedun scored at 10:11, Stamkos gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 advantage on a wraparound goal with 52.7 seconds left in the first. Bishop turned aside all 15 shots he faced in the second. Tampa Bay got the lone goal during the period to go up 3-1 when Tyler Johnson scored from the low shot at 18:33. "Youre not always going to be pretty," Bishop said. "Youve got find ways to win when youre not at your best." Valtteri Filppula added an empty-net goal for Tampa Bay with 1:05 to play. The Lightning are 6-0-0 against Western Conference teams this season. "You can never be disappointed after a win," Cooper said. "Im glad for the two points. Just a little rattled about the way we ended up coming out with them." NOTES: Tampa Bay starts a three-game road trip against Atlantic Division foes Saturday at Detroit. The Lightning will also play at Boston and Montreal. "I think it will be a big test," Stamkos said. ... Edmonton LW Jesse Joensuu (back), D Anton Belov (lower back) and D Justin Schultz (groin) are all practicing. LW David Perron (neck) could soon resume practicing with the team. ...

Silva was one of the key players in Citys surge last season to a first English title since 1968, after signing from Valencia in July 2010. The 26-year-old Silva said Monday that "the team is growing and we are now aiming at the Champions League and so that also is another reason to want to stay here and try and win it.Whilst serving notice all season long they are in amongst the cluster of top teams in MLS this season, the Montreal Impact are also making the right noises off the pitch, too. Thinking it would be beneficial to launch their season ticket renewals earlier than they did last season, the club recently announced two out of three current season ticket holders had exercised their option to renew. Having challenged his team to always give and be their very best, Impact president Joey Saputo doesnt lessen that demand for those working in the front office. "Im not taking anything away from what our guys have done and the fact we have a great season ticket base but theres still a third that havent renewed and we have to find out why they havent renewed and what we can do to make sure they will be renewing," Saputo told TSN Radio 690. He wasnt finished. "Not only that, we need to increase the season ticket base a little more. At the end of the day, we need to fill the stadium and thats what we are doing." "So its nice to know two-thirds of our season ticket base like what we are doing and want to part of what we are doing." Not only are the fans supporting the club at the box office, but now finally they are also buying into club merchandise in significant numbers. Crucially, down Stade Saputo way these days, no longer is it the case a Juventus or a Real Madrid jersey appears most prominent amongst those in attendance. Everywhere you look, a sea of blue confronts you and the punters are not merely restricting it to the token jersey. Branded apparel in all forms has suddenly become the norm. This pleases Saputo. "Merchandise sales have been doing relatively well," added Saputo. "Were very excited, were very happy with the way it is going." However, just like season ticket renewals, Saputo is more focused on strengthening where there is weakness. "One of the things we need to do is to be out there a little bit more. Right now, we are very strong inside the stadium but not as strong outside the stadium. We need to work on the team store concept outside of the stadium. Thats something we are looking at in the future." Jersey sales of certain players may well be flying off the shelves but Saputo is of a strong conviction the upsurge in sales is down to the club and the jersey itself. "Without a doubt you have the Marco Di Vaio and Bernier jerseys but I think its the jersey itself and what the jersey represents. "When we talked about the jersey and when we designed the jersey with the aspect of the fleur de lys and the cross, it represents the city of Montreal. I think we have a nice product and the jersey sells itself." Di Vaio has been much in the news himself of late. Seemingly scoring goals for fun, matters of a very personal nature may well necessitate he return home to his family come seasons end. Having grown a strong bond and deep relationship with his DP, Saputo feels Di Vaios anguish personally. "Im so disappointed that he is going through some personal issues right now back home which is weighing on whether he is going to stay or not." Not wanting to provide any false hopes to the supporters but the Impact president did confirm that under better circumstances, Di Vaio would sign his 2014 option. "This is a person who wants to stay. This is a person who wants to be here but at the end of the day, he is going to makke a very, very tough decision," said Saputo. Nike Free Og Breeze Pas Cher. "He doesnt want to finish playing, he still feels he has a year or two left in him. Its going to be tough for him to hang up his boots at the end of this year if he decides to go back to Italy. We hope that he will stay. He is a definite asset to this organization, not only on the field but off it, too. Saputo also addressed reports from the Italian media where some suggested Di Vaios return would be in a playing capacity. "In our discussions with Marco if he goes back it is not to play," Saputo stated. "If he goes back, it is to be closer to his family and if a position was to open at a club as a Sporting Director or a General Manager of some sorts, he would definitely take a look at it. From my understanding, from what he told me, he is not looking to play. Thats what makes it difficult. He doesnt want to go back to Italy to play. He wants to stay here but hes torn between the situation with his family and staying here in Montreal." Of course, Di Vaio isnt the only Italian player who might not be trotting out at Stade Saputo in 2014. During an interview Alessandro Nesta conducted with the BBC earlier in the summer, the central defender strongly indicated he was hanging up his boots at seasons end. Saputo puts that down to Nestas jovial side as he anointed him the clubs prankster "Sandros a little bit different and obviously he has joked around a lot," offered Saputo. "He is the biggest joker in the club so sometimes you wonder what he says whether he is joking or whether he is serious. You know at times when things dont go well, he is ready to pack up and leave. At other times, he is already planning for next year. "I can tell you one thing, from a heart standpoint, he would play another 10 years but I dont know whether his legs will last that long." With a mouth-watering encounter against the Whitecaps at home Saturday afternoon, the Impact know they have to step it up dramatically if they want to have any chance of avoiding a third straight defeat. Saputo knows exactly why Columbus pulled off the shock road win but doesnt expect his players wont be up to the task come 2pm et Saturday. "We need to play it more desperately. I think its something we lacked on Saturday. We werent hungry and Columbus were. We cant give away three points at home, its not like us and the players have to understand that and I think they do." Just like Columbus, the Whitecaps are desperate for points as their playoff hopes have dwindled away. Two old foes both in need of the three points. "Theres been some great games with Vancouver in the past and this should not be any different. Its going to be a good game and our players should be ready for it," said Saputo. If the Impact win, the playoff horizon will come into full view. For Saputo though, making the playoffs wont be reason enough to celebrate. "Its been a great season and people are extremely excited with the fact its been a great season and with what weve done. Theres still a lot of work to be done for us to not only make the playoffs, but not to bow out early in the playoffs."
