MILAN, Italy -- Juventus eased to a 2-0 win at Livorno on Sunday to provisionally take over the top spot in Serie A, while Fiorentina fell to a surprise 1-0 defeat at Udinese. Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez scored in the second half for Juventus. The two time-defending champion moved two points above Roma, which hosts Cagliari on Monday. "I dedicate it to our fans who always support us," Llorente said. "We have to look at ourselves and continue doing everything the coach asks of us, as we are doing. I think we are a strong team." Tomas Heurtaux scored for Udinese, which had lost four of its past five matches. Inter Milan missed the chance to draw level with third-place Napoli as it hit the crossbar twice but drew 1-1 at relegation-threatened Bologna. Elsewhere, a stoppage-time equalizer saw Lazio snatch a 1-1 draw at 10-man Sampdoria and spoil coach Sinisa Mihajlovics first match in charge. "Its never nice to concede right at the end, but the wheels keep on turning," Mihajlovic said. "Im disappointed for the lads, they proved to themselves and others how you have to play when you wear the Sampdoria shirt." Sampdoria played the entire second half with 10 men after Nenad Krsticic was sent off. Also, teenage forward Domenico Berardi struck again as Sassuolo beat Atalanta 2-0 while Torino crushed Catania 4-1. Juventus faced something of a crisis in defence, with Stephan Lichtsteiner and Andrea Barzagli injured and Angelo Ogbonna and Leonardo Bonucci out suspended. Mauricio Isla, Sebastian Giovinco and Simone Pepe were also out with injury. The visitors broke the deadlock shortly after the hour mark when Llorente volleyed Paul Pogbas cross into the top corner with a magnificent strike. Llorente turned provider in the 75th to set up Tevez for a low drive into the bottom corner. Andrea Coda almost scored an own goal to extend Juventus lead when his diving header hit the post from Simone Padoins cross. Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was rarely troubled on his 500th Serie A appearance. Inter is eight points behind Juventus and two behind Napoli following the surprise draw. Bologna took the lead in the 12th minute following a swift counter attack. Jonathan Cristaldo raced down the right flank before rolling the ball across to Kone, who hadnt been picked up as he burst through the middle and sidefooted home. Former Bologna Saphir Taider could have been sent off as he was fortunate not to receive a second yellow card in the buildup to the goal for a shirt tug on Alessandro Diamanti. The referee had played the advantage. Inter came close to levelling on the stroke of halftime as Taider and Alvaro Pereira sent passes across goal but nobody was able to tap in. Moments later Fredy Guarins free kick was deflected onto the crossbar. It was back on level terms six minutes after the break when Jonathans shot was deflected into the bottom near corner. Bologna almost restored its lead five minutes later but Samir Handanovic pulled off a great save to deny Rolando Bianchi. Inter nearly snatched all three points in stoppage time when Juan Jesus volley crashed off the crossbar. Fiorentina is two points further back, in fifth spot, after losing at the Stadio Friuli despite dominating for much of the match. Udinese scored the only goal of the game against the run of play when Roberto Pereyra nodded on Antonio Di Natales free kick for Heurtaux to volley home at the far post in the 34th minute. Goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic kept Udinese in the lead while his counterpart Neto also made a number of saves. Udinese moved into the top half of the table and is a point behind eighth-placed Lazio. It was Mihajlovics first match in charge since taking over at Sampdoria after failing to guide Serbia to the World Cup. Mihajlovic played for both Lazio and Sampdoria. Sampdoria had lost its past three matches and its hopes of ending that run took a blow when Krsticic was shown a second yellow card at the start of the second half. However, it took the lead in the 67th minute. Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti did brilliantly to parry Manolo Gabbiadinis effort, before scrambling up to swat away another shot, but Roberto Soriano headed in the rebound. Lazio levelled at the end when Lorik Cana drilled into the bottom left corner. Catania is now a point behind Sampdoria and level with bottom club Chievo Verona after a hefty defeat in Turin. Sebastian Leto got Catania back into the game at the start of the second half following goals from Ciro Immobile and Omar El Kaddouri. But Emiliano Moretti and El Kaddouri sealed the match with two in as many minutes. Sassuolo moved three points above the relegation zone with goals from Simone Zaza and Berardi against fellow strugglers Atalanta. Air Jordan 12 Australia Online .

Previously, drivers were not eligible until they had been retired for three years, so drivers can continue to compete and still reach the hall.Scott Cullen takes a look at the top stories from December 13th through December 19th, including the Edmonton Oilers, gifts for Canadas World Juniors, Winnipegs ridiculous run of injuries on defence, the winning Maple Leafs and more. HERE COME THE OILERS The Edmonton Oilers fired head coach Dallas Eakins after a 16-game stretch during which they won just once. Despite improved underlying numbers -- the Oilers score-adjusted Corsi% had climbed from 43.7% last season to 48.8% this season -- ultimately the results werent any better and it was decided that a coaching change was the way to go. Todd Nelson was promoted from Oklahoma City to take the interim job. This is where is gets tricky. Those underlying numbers could be indications of improved play that have simply been unrealized in the standings because of abysmal percentages. They rank 28th in the league in shooting percentage (7.3%) and 30th in save percentage (88.8%) and its extremely difficult to overcome those percentage failings. Was Dallas Eakins doing something to inhibit the Oilers shooting or save percentages? Not likely, but it still cost him his job.The funny part of it is that odds are the Oilers wont likely maintain such low percentages all year long, so improvement is inevitable, but theyre in such a hole now that it isnt likely to matter. There are a few related tangents here. One is that the Oilers, notably, hired analytics blogger Tyler Dellow in the summer, making more of an effort to apply analytics to their decision-making process and improved possession stats might suggest that there has been progress that makes it worth staying on the path, but if the Oilers are hurtling towards another high lottery pick, could that halt their foray into analytics before it has a legitimate chance to take hold? More interesting was the idea brought up by Darren Dreger that Taylor Hall could be in play as a trade chip if the Oilers are going to make a franchise-altering change. Its difficult to sell the notion that the Oilers would be made better by trading a 23-year-old winger who has 148 points in 147 games since the start of 2012-2013, but if the Oilers are going to secure legitimate high-end help at centre and defence, they arent going to find those solutions by moving secondary talents. The next part of that Hall discussion is who is going to make that decision? Is Craig MacTavish secure enough in the GM role going forward to be given that responsibility? With all of these interesting side stories, the Oilers are going to be a compelling team to watch (more off-the-ice than on) as the trade deadline and draft lottery approach, but its going to be another long also-ran season. CANADAS WORLD JUNIORS GET GIFTS FROM NHL TEAMS In a somewhat unusual turn of events, Team Canada was loaned two players on NHL roster for the World Junior Hockey Championship. The New York Rangers offered up left winger Anthony Duclair, the 2013 third-round pick who had seven points (1 G, 6 A) and positive possession (50.8% Corsi) in 18 games with the Blueshirts. Duclair scored 50 goals and 99 points in 59 games for Quebec in the QMJHL last season. The Ottawa Senators then made Curtis Lazar available for the tournament. Lazar had seven points (1 G, 6 A) and 47.9% Corsi in 27 games for the Senators. Lazar had 76 points (41 G, 35 A) in 58 games and scored the Memorial Cup-winning goal for Edmonton in the WHL. Both Lazar and Duclair are nice additions that will improve Canadas chances at the gold medal, and the decisions are justifiable in both cases, but its unusual for NHL teams to release players that have been playing regularly in the NHL. MUMPS The plague of the league this season made its way to the face of the league as Sidney Crosby was sidelined. Crosbys back in the lineup now, but Rangers centre Derick Brassard, and Penguins defenceman Olli Maatta are the latest to get diagnosed with mumps and now every time that a player misses practice with an illness, the suspicion goes straight to mumps. What a time we live in. WINNING LEAFS Since the debacle of losing 9-2 on home ice against Nashville, the Toronto Maple Leafs have ripped off a 10-2-1 record, winning six straight before Thursday nights loss at Carolina. While theres lots to be gained by banking those points, the Maple Leafs have travelled this road before; the road being one in which the team wins a bunch of games in a short span while getting outshot. Since November 18th, Torontos scored-adjusted Corsi is 44.5%, which ranks 28th in the league, ahead of Columbus (44.1%) and Buffalo (37.4%). To his credit, Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle has recognized these warning signs -- even in the midst of a winning streak -- but once the challenges are recognized, there remains the issue of fixing what ails this club if they are going to have long-term success because, aas the Maple Leafs have found out in recent seasons, percentage-fueled runs can come crashing down in a hurry.dddddddddddd JETS DEFENCE CRUSHED BY INJURIES When the Winnipeg Jets announced a few weeks ago that they would need to shift Dustin Byfuglien back from forward to defence in the wake of injuries to Tobias Enstrom and Zach Bogosian, that seemed like a reasonable solution to the significant problem of having two top defenceman out with injuries. Then second-year rising star blueliner Jacob Trouba was deemed to be out until February. That left the Jets missing their top three defencemen and, with barely a moment to figure out roster solutions to this dilemma, they lost Mark Stuart to a long-term injury as well. Byfuglien, who has played most of the year at forward, is the only one of the Jets top five defencemen (by time on ice) that is healthy enough to play right now. The Jets sent a sixth-round pick to Carolina to get veteran Jay Harrison, so that adds a proven NHLer to the mix, but some credit should be given to Grant Clitsome, Adam Pardy, Paul Postma and call-up Ben Chiarot, who have managed to hold the fort during the initial siege. WILL IT EVER END? The Washington Capitals and Florida Panthers set a new NHL record going 20 rounds in Tuesdays 2-1 win before Nick Bjugstad, in his second attempts, ended the proceedings. What made it more compelling is that it wasnt unabashed scoring futility, as each team scored five times before Bjugstads turn, it just so happened that the goals all occurred in the same rounds. For all the justified efforts to reduce the impact of the shootout on the NHL standings, every so often it can produce a memorable moment. FLAMES SIGN HARTLEY On December 4, the Calgary Flames were 17-8-3, the toast of the NHL as the leagues biggest surprise team through the first couple months. In a related story, the Flames had a 102.0 PDO (shooting percentage plus save percentage at 5-on-5), the third-highest mark in the league. Then, they lost their next six games, with a PDO of 94.6 -- the regression that was reasonably expected -- and the Flames still signed head coach Bob Hartley to a two-year contract extension. Bob Hartley may very well be a good coach. He doesnt have a ton of talent on that Flames roster and all indications are that the Flames are a hard-working bunch, but if Hartley wasnt benefitting from those favourable percentages early, the Flames could be a lot closer to the Oilers and, well, we know how that played out. A FINE DEAL Nashville right winger James Neal was fined $2,000 for diving, the first player docked for embellishment. The fine doesnt mean much -- $2,000 is pocket change to a player making $5-million this season -- but the public shaming is noteworthy. It should be enough to curb behaviour, but it will be interesting to see whether referees respond to players that end up being on notice for diving publicly. Will Neal draw noticeably fewer penalties going forward? To this point in the season, hes drawn 11 in 30 games (0.37 per game). KHL CRASHING? As the Russian ruble is losing value at an alarming rate, it appears that there are major changes on the horizon for the KHL. The league was already a questionable financial proposition, not drawing enough fans to pay multi-million dollar salaries but relying on significant influx of money from energy companies, a situation that isnt quite so tenable given the current fiscal climate. Reporter Slava Malamud has plenty of information on the likely changes, which will include reducing the number of teams in both the KHL and the Russian junior league. While Malamud said on TSN Radio that he expects Ilya Kovalchuk and Alexander Radulov to still get their money as high-profile faces of the league, this will reduce any kind of leverage that players have been able to use with the NHL when negotiating deals. As for teams looking for immediate help, any players that have played in the KHL this season will have to clear waivers in order to join an NHL club, so while its not impossible, it would likely be very difficult. VOYNOV TESTIMONY The Slava Voynov saga took an uglier turn this week when testimony was finally given at a preliminary hearing and the details were as bad as one might expect. A Redondo Beach police officer testified that Voynov threw his wife to the ground, kicked her, choked her, and then pushed her into a flat-screen television, opening a cut that required stitches to close. It painted a graphic portrait of what is alleged to have occurred and doesnt offer much reason to expect Voynov to play for the Los Angeles Kings any time soon. The potential fallout from this incident could be considerable, a more complicated scenario because Voynov isnt a U.S. citizen and could be deported if he is convicted of these charges.
