There is risk of the entire 2012-2013 NHL season being wiped out. . Now that qualifies as fear mongering, but considering how entrenched both the league and the players association are with less than 10 days until the expiration of the existing collective bargaining agreement, sources on both sides are accepting the loss of another season as a possibility. Negotiations remain in a stalemate - with no plan to resume formal talks. The NHL insists - for the health of the league - that players must be paid less. On the other side, the players association contends that forcing players to take less doesnt solve the problems within the current system. In short, the NHL Players Association believes a new system is required. However, negotiating an economic framework that works for both the owners and the players cant be done until both sides find some common ground. A mutually agreed upon definition of what constitutes hockey related revenue (HRR) and how certain aspects impact the overall players share is largely the foundation for a new CBA. So in simple terms, it comes down to dollars and cents. The players are willing to give, but do so over time. And they arent interested in any ownership proposal that continues to push for an immediate correction. A 50-50 split seems fair, but negotiating to get there will be a painstaking process. Player contracts are also a huge concern for the NHL, with issues ranging from the diving salaries used to construct the mega-deals into cap reasonable numbers to entry-level contracts which the league would like to extend from three to five years. Revenue sharing, arbitration, health and safety initiatives or negotiated changes to supplemental discipline are also all important elements in bargaining and chips that can be shuffled once a new economic framework is devised. With no discussions planned, thats a tall order. And that leaves the fear mongers who once again project hockeys version of Armageddon on solid ground.

No such reprieve for the Pittsburgh Pirates, whose misery goes on. Ludwick drove in the winning run with a two-out infield single in the 14th inning, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a marathon 4-3 victory Monday night that handed the fading Pirates their fourth straight loss.

Alex Saulnier led the way with two goals and three assists while Allain Saulnier scored twice and set up two more. Dmitri Jaskin and Yannick Veilleux had a goal and two assists each for the Wildcats (15-10-0), who have won seven of their last 10 outings.ATLANTA -- Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons can forget about any style points. This one was downright ugly. Thats OK with them. Its still a victory. Bouncing back from their first loss of the season and overcoming Ryans career-worst five interceptions, the Falcons rallied past Arizona 23-19 on Sunday. Michael Turner scored the winning touchdown on a 1-yard run with 6:40 remaining, and Larry Fitzgerald couldnt hang on to a fourth-down pass that wouldve given the feeble Cardinals a chance to pull it out. "You cant worry about it," said Ryan, who had never thrown more than three picks in a game. "Part of playing this position is knowing there are going to be times when you make mistakes, when you fall flat on your face. Youve got to get up and keep playing, keep throwing it. In those kind of situations, Im just worried about the next play." Ryan became the first quarterback since Green Bays Bart Starr in 1967 to win a game despite throwing five interceptions with no touchdowns, according to STATS LLC. "Thats good company to be in," Ryan said with a chuckle. The Falcons (9-1) turned it over a total of six times, but Ryan set up Turners winning run with four completions for 64 yards, including a 9-yarder to Tony Gonzalez that was just short of the end zone. Turner scored on the next play. Coming off a bye, Arizona (4-6) lost its sixth straight game. The Cardinals tried to bolster their anemic offence by switching quarterbacks, replacing John Skelton with rookie Ryan Lindley, but they had only 178 yards. "We said during the bye week we were going to make changes that we thought necessary, and thats what were going to do going forward," Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We have to make more plays." Both teams struggled offensively in the second half. The Cardinals had the only points -- going ahead 19-16 on Jay Feelys fourth field goal of the game, set up by Ryans fourth interception -- before the Falcons finally came alive on a 70-yard drive. With Julio Jones sidelined by an ankle injury, Ryan completed an 11-yard pass to third receiver Harry Douglas, then a 26-yarder to Douglas into Arizona territory. Roddy White hauled in an 18-yard pass before Ryan, on third-and-5 at the Arizona 10, went to ol reliable. Gonzalez grabbed the pass and stretched for the goal line, getting his helmet knocked off in the process. The officials ruled him down about a foot short. Turner carried it in from there, standing defiantly in the end zone in front of the cheering Atlanta fans who had booed him earlier for the Falcons continuing problems running the ball. Arizona had one more chance, after Ryan had a pass deflected at the linne, the ball wobbling into the arms of Cardinals linebacker Sam Acho at the Falcons 32.

On fourth-and-2 with just over 3 minutes remaining, Lindley threw a pass that Fitzgerald appeared to haul in at the 5 before tumbling out of bounds. But as he took a hit from William Moore, Fitzgerald rolled over and the ball came loose. The Falcons took over and ran out the clock. Ryan completed 28 of 48 for 301 yards. LaRod Stephens-Howling accounted for most of Arizonas yards, carrying 22 times for 127 yards. Lindley was 9 of 20 for 64 yards. Skelton was benched in the second quarter after going 2 of 7 for 6 yards. "Its extremely frustrating," Cardinals centre Lyle Sendlein said. "If you would have told us yesterday wed get the ball four or five times on their side of the 50, Id have said, Yeah, were going to beat them, and beat them by a large margin." The turnover tone was set on the very first snap. Ryan threw a little behind White, the ball bouncing off his hands and right into the arms of Arizona safety Rashad Johnson for the interception. He returned it to the Atlanta 9, and the Cardinals punched it in two plays later on a 3-yard run by Stephens-Howling. On Arizonas next possession, Stephens-Howling broke off a 40-yard run to set up Feelys 48-yard field goal. The Falcons were down 10-0 before they even gained a yard. Ryan threw two more interceptions before the first quarter was done, the second of which led to another field goal by Feely to make it 13-0. But the Falcons rallied to tie it up by halftime, coming up with a huge defensive play after the Cardinals brought in Lindley. As the rookie dropped back to pass on third down, John Abraham came in from the blind side and got his hand on the ball a split-second before Lindleys arm came forward. While both teams mostly stood around, thinking it was an incomplete pass, Abraham motioned for Jonathan Babineaux to pick up it up. The 300-pound tackle did just that, running 15 yards for a stunning touchdown. "Multiple players told me they heard a whistle," Whisenhunt insisted. With a nod to Gonzalez, Babineaux feigned like was going to dunk the ball over the crossbar, but just flipped it over instead. Call it a celebratory layup. "Were always taught to finish play," Babineaux said. "I looked at the ref. I saw him running, so I figured the play was still going." NOTES: Stephens-Howling had only 184 yards rushing coming into the game. ... The Falcons lost CB Asante Samuel (right shoulder) in the first half, and WR Julio Jones (right ankle) hobbled off in the fourth quarter. .... Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson was slowed by a hamstring injury. ' ' '
