EDMONTON - Oilers head coach Tom Renney unleashed on his players after what he saw as a lackadaisical effort against San Jose. cheap jerseys from china . Logan Couture scored a tiebreaking goal early in the third period as the Sharks snapped a five-game losing skid with a 3-2 victory over Edmonton on Monday. The usually calm and collected Renney was left fuming after the Oilers lost for the sixth time in seven games. "It doesnt take many (players) with the wrong attitude to make its way through your dressing room. It doesnt take many guys at all," said Renney. "We have a few people who need to look in the mirror here. Because this is unacceptable. Youre the Edmonton Oilers. Youre a millionaire. You have an opportunity to play the game. Suck it up and play hockey." Renney accused his team of giving up and in the process helping San Jose stay in the playoff hunt "Problem No. 1 one was playing not to lose," he began. "Problem No. 2 is two power-play goals for your opponent. Problem three was deciding it was just too hard." Joe Thornton had a goal and an assist while Torrey Mitchell also scored for the Sharks (34-25-9), who are trying to get back into the playoff picture after losing 11 of their previous 13 games. San Jose is now just one point back of eighth-place Colorado in the tight Western Conference race. The Avs won 3-2 in overtime against Anaheim on Monday. "We needed this really bad," Thornton said. "Were struggling right now and to come in here and get a big win, every game is so important for us. The playoffs have already started for us. It was just a huge two points for us. "Hopefully this gives some guys some confidence." Ryan Whitney and Taylor Hall replied for the Oilers (26-36-7), who remain second last in the NHL. "Everyone in this room knows we have to be better," Hall said. "This isnt the way we wanted to start off this homestand." San Jose opened the scoring just 1:07 into the match when Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk lost sight of a bouncing puck before Mitchell put in the rebound off a Tommy Wingels shot. The Oilers tied the game with just 49 seconds to play in the opening frame. Whitney wound up from the top of the faceoff circle and fired a shot past Sharks starter Antti Niemi while both teams were playing four players a side. Dubnyk made up for his earlier gaffe midway through the second, coming across to make a huge stick save on a rebound attempt by T.J. Galiardi. The Sharks went up 2-1 on the power play a minute later as Patrick Marleau fed a pass through to Thornton and he snapped home his 15th of the season. Edmonton drew even again with five minutes to play in the second on a tremendous effort by Hall. After blocking a shot at his own blue-line, Hall turned on the jets to outrace a pair of San Jose defenders to the puck and beat Niemi for his 26th of the season. The Sharks got their go-ahead goal 38 seconds into the third period as Dan Boyle unleashed a hard shot from the point that Couture tipped past Dubnyk while on the power play. The Sharks had gone their previous six games without scoring a power-play goal but went 2-for-2 on the man advantage on Monday. "Our power play was the difference tonight, getting those two goals," Couture said. "We created some opportunities from the top of the point and were able to get rebounds and tips off of them. "Weve been sliding and points are very important for us at the moment given our circumstances. Well see how we build off this win. Its been a tough stretch for us. Any confidence we can get from winning games is huge for us right now." The Sharks conclude a four-game road trip in Calgary on Tuesday night. Edmonton next plays host to Columbus on Wednesday. Notes: It was the fourth and final meeting between the two teams this season. Edmonton won two of the first three in shootouts. Nonetheless, the Sharks entered the match the winner of 10 of the past 14 encounters overall and six of their past eight trips to Edmonton. ...

Montgomerys was chugging a pitcher of beer as he marched through a throng of delighted fans at Whistler. Hollingsworths was her tearful apology to Canada after slipping to fifth place in the skeleton. Now the two skeleton athletes are knocking on doors, hoping to sell some of that likeability to corporate Canada, and fill a massive hole in their funding. After almost 20 years of sponsoring Canadas bobsled and skeleton teams, VISA did not renew its contract, leaving the program more than $500,000 poorer as of next season. "If its not filled through sponsorships, the athletes are going to have to make up that difference and shortfall," Montgomery said. "Or consequently programs being cut, and opportunities for the depth we now have in our program to basically wither and to cease to exist." Montgomery, who won gold in Vancouver, and Hollingsworth, a bronze medallist in 2006, are pounding the pavement on behalf of their program, launching a marketing campaign Thursday in Toronto under the billing "Olympic Medallists Scream for National Attention." Theres a national billboard campaign that already has two signs up in Toronto and will put up billboards in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. One of the taglines is: "Give us a push. Gravity will do the rest." It was all about meeting face-to-face for the two sliders Thursday, who squeezed in a presentation for corporations at a luncheon in between making the rounds of Toronto media. The two Olympians prefer the up-close-and-personal approach when it comes to relationships with sponsors as well. "What you can give those employees as theyre standing around the waterr cooler, is they know that theyre part of this journey, part of this success, or tears in some cases," Hollingsworth said. jerseys from china. "It all makes you who you are and human." Montgomery said they werent about to rest on their laurels "hoping that some knight in shining armour, some big company throws dollars our way so that we can slap their logos on our chest and say, thanks for the dough, were going to be over here getting it done," Montgomery said. "We do really want to be a part of this process." Skeleton and bobsled athletes claimed four medals in Vancouver -- 15 per cent of the Canadian teams total -- and have won 200 World Cup medals over the past 10 years. Sliding sports arent cheap, considering the costs of transporting sleds to and from Europe. Montgomery said an eight-member skeleton team shelled out $2500 in extra-baggage charges alone last week for a flight from Montreal to Calgary. "And bobsled ... shipping costs alone run up into six figures for shipping bobsleds around the world," he said. Montgomery, who looked positively clean-cut Thursday with a short beard and haircut -- nothing like the wild, woolly look he sported at the 2010 Games -- said he still fields comments from strangers about that memorable beer-fuelled march through Whistler. "Im grateful for that. If theres a moment that allows people to connect with a point in my life and to remember the Games through my involvement, it couldnt have been more perfect," Montgomery said. "For it to have been a beer, thats pretty me there in a nutshell. "The way it happened -- naturally -- the English lady that gave me that pitcher, it was the sweetest beer Ive ever tasted in my life, I owe her a debt of gratitude for sure." ' ' '
