ZAGREB, Croatia -- Mackenzie Bent of Uxbridge, Ont., and Garrett MacKeen of Oshawa, Ont., just missed the podium in ice dancing on Saturday to conclude the sixth stop on the ISU Junior Grand Prix figure skating circuit. Bent and MacKeen were looking to at least match their bronze medal showing at Junior Grand Prix last month in Austria but fell short and finished fourth with 118.64. Valeria Zenkova and Valerie Sinitsin led Russia to a 1-2 finish with 134.63 points. Evgenia Kosigina and Nikolai Moroshkin were second at 134.59 while Rachel Parsons and Michael Parsons of the U.S., were third at 134.09. "Overall we were happy with our performance but there are things we could have done better," said Bent, 15, three years younger than her partner. Melinda Meng and Andrew Meng of Ottawa were sixth at 113.02. In womens competition, Angela Wang and Hannah Miller, both of the U.S., were 1-2. Anna Pogorilaya of Russia was third. Alaine Chartrand of Prescott, Ont., was sixth at 137.72.

Wayne Gretzky nearly brought the house down at Staples Center prior to Mondays Game 3 between the Kings and Devils after being introduced to drop the puck for the ceremonial faceoff.NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees took a few triumphant strides toward the goal post with the ball in his hand and rose up for an imitation, Michael Jordan-style dunk over the crossbar. He had to settle for a finger-roll instead. It was one of the few times Brees came up short Monday night as the New Orleans Saints made everything look easy in a 49-24 victory over the slumping New York Giants, who have lost three straight. "I was a little more tired than I thought I would be," Brees said of his celebration, which came right after he finished an eight-yard scramble with a dive into the end zone. "I do apologize to MJ." Brees was prepared for a little ribbing from teammates and coaches, but they mainly complimented him after he passed for 363 yards and four touchdowns, in addition to his scoring run. "Theres that confidence that players around him have, and obviously we have in him," Saints coach Sean Payton said of Brees. "He made some fantastic throws tonight." Tight end Jimmy Graham had five catches for 84 yards, including touchdowns of five and 29 yards. Brees two other scoring strikes went to Lance Moore, who had five catches for 54 yards. "Cant say enough about our team. Our coaches, offence, defence -- it was a great team win tonight in every aspect," Brees said. This was a game New York was desperate to win after losing its previous two to San Francisco and Philadelphia. Instead, the Giants (6-5) dropped a game behind first-place Dallas in the NFC East and face the possibility of a four-game losing streak when they host the unbeaten Green Bay Packers next weekend. "We didnt stop them. How much further explanation do you want?" said Giants coach Tom Coughlin, whose defence was unable to sack Brees. "We prepared well, but when we got in the game we didnt cover well. When we dont get to the passer, we have trouble." The Saints (8-3), meanwhile, maintained a one-game lead over Atlanta in the NFC South. They also padded their rushing stats with 205 yards on the ground, including touchdown runs of 12 yards by Pierre Thomas and 35 yards by rookie Mark Ingram. "Our guys came out sharp," Payton said. "We felt like this was going to be tough opponent coming in with two losses they had prior to our game. ... We had the balance we were looking for. I thought we ran it well tonight." Marques Colston had three catches for 78 yards, all on the Saints 34-second, 88-yard touchdown drive late in the second quarter that gave New Orleans a 21-3 halftime lead. Colstons longest reception went for 50 yards when he caught a pass along the left sideline, slipped a tackle and raced up field. The Giants took a beating on the scoreboard and on the field. Defensive end Osi Umenyiora went out with a sprained anklee and receiver Hakeem Nicks was rocked on a vicious hit by Saints rookie safety Isa Abdul-Quddus.dddddddddddd Nicks stayed in the game despite bruised ribs. New York already was missing two key players because of injuries: leading rusher Ahmad Bradshaw and wide receiver Mario Manningham. "Its hard not to know when youre getting your butt whipped, but I didnt see any moping I was concerned about," Giants defensive lineman Justin Tuck said. "We played hard, (but) its hard to smile when youre losing like that." Eli Manning completed 21 straight passes for the Giants -- mostly after the outcome was decided. New York did not get into the end zone until Brandon Jacobs steamrolled safety Roman Harper on an eight-yard scoring run that made it 21-10 in the third quarter, but the Saints went right back down the field and scored on Brees eight-yard scramble. After Giants running back DaRell Scott fumbled on his own 29, Brees connected with Graham, who rumbled down the left sideline and dove for the pylon for his second TD of the game, and his team-leading eighth receiving score of the season. The Saints never trailed, striking first early in the second quarter on Brees four-yard touchdown pass to Moore, who snagged a quick throw on the right side and dove to stretch the ball across the goal-line before he was tackled. The 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive included a 23-yard pass to Graham and a 23-yard run by Darren Sproles, and it was the first of three touchdown drives of more than 80 yards in the opening half. "We can always get better. Theres always something to prove. The challenges only get greater as you move through the season," Brees said before looking ahead to his teams next game. "Sunday night football next week, we got Detroit coming to town, on a short week, so were going to have to get ourselves back on track out here pretty quick and ready for that game." Back home in the Big Easy, Manning passed for 406 yards. He was intercepted by linebacker Will Herring in the end zone on the teams first series. The only scoring the Giants managed in the first half was Lawrence Tynes 42-yard field goal. Tynes also attempted a 61-yarder, which fell short, at the end of the half. The Giants, who have been struggling to run the ball all season, gained only 73 yards on the ground. Notes: Brees took back the NFL passing lead from Tom Brady. Brees now has 3,689 yards, keeping him on pace to break Dan Marinos single-season mark of 5,084 set in 1984. ... Brees has passed for at least one TD in 38 straight games, the second-longest streak in NFL history. ... The Saints total of 577 yards was the second-highest in franchise history. ... The Giants lowered their already anemic rushing average to 82.3 yards per game. ' ' '
