Martin Rucinsky took a four-minute penalty in overtime when his stick rode up into Mark Bell's face and the Blackhawks made the Rangers pay. When Brent Seabrook, on the resultant four-minute 4-on-3, jammed Blair Betts along the half-boards, Jason Strudwick overplayed the puck and Tyler Arnason was able to walk out. He put a 25-footer off Henrik Lundqvist's glove 1:20 into the overtime and the Blackhawks, outplayed and outshot 30-18 in the regulation, came away with a 2-1 victory. The loss was only the...

This was shaping up as the Knicks' biggest victory of the season. They were on the verge of shocking the season's surprise team, the 12-5 Clippers, on the second night of a back-to-back. Instead, it was only more heart ache and teasing. A sickly offensive performance in the second half, when the Knicks (6-12) shot 6-of-34, did them in. The Clippers rallied from a 13-point...

But it's possible he might not be spending it at Shea. The Mets and Devil Rays have talked about the Met second baseman, a baseball official confirmed yesterday. That does not mean a deal is imminent or likely. In fact, there are issues that would have to be resolved. Matsui has a no-trade clause to all teams but the Yankees, Dodgers and Angels. So even if the Mets and D-Rays end up working something out, Matsui would have to approve it. Moving Matsui would likely allow the Mets to at least save some money on their payroll. The...

Yankee GM Brian Cashman didn't say it could happen - but he didn't rule it out, either. When the Astros didn't offer Roger Clemens arbitration yesterday, the 43-year-old future Hall of Famer became a free agent. Immediately, the buzz at the Winter Meetings was Clemens returning to the Yankees for a second stint. He pitched for them from 1999 to 2003, helping the Yankees win two World Series and appearing in two others. "I don't have any reaction to it," Cashman said of Clemens becoming a free agent after making $18 million for going 13-8 with a MLB-best...
