LOS ANGELES, Calif. Jaylen Brown Jersey . - Nobody wants Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final to come quicker than Dan Girardi. The Rangers defenceman was victimized by a bouncing puck that led to the Kings overtime goal in Game 1 on Wednesday. After the Kings flubbed a three-on-two, the puck found its way to Girardi who had time and space to play it. The other Rangers headed up the ice to start an attack only to have the puck bounce over Girardis stick. The 30-year-old from Welland, Ont., fell to his knees, taking a swipe at the puck in a bid to clear it. It went straight to Kings forward Mike Richards, who fed Justin Williams for the winning overtime goal. "It was gone until this morning, until right now," Girardi said dryly Friday when reporters asked him about the gaffe. "As a player, theres really no worse feeling than that. Obviously in the Stanley Cup finals you dont want to make a play that costs your team. "Obviously (I was) stewing about it a little bit (on the Rangers off-day Thursday) but youve got to move on. Weve got a huge opportunity to get it 1-1 going back to our building." Game 2 is Saturday at Staples Center. Girardi, who plays with Ryan McDonagh on the Rangers top defensive pairing, got plenty of support from his teammates in the wake of the overtime mistake. "Danny was down for a few minutes," said forward Brad Richards. "Everybody kind of picked him up. "Thats a tough bounce. It just happened that that was the overtime goal that the bounce happened. We got a bounce on the second goal that went off their D-man (Slava Voynov) in the net." McDonagh sits next to Girardi in the locker room and wasted little time going over the play. "Thats how we work through things as a group," said McDonagh. "Me and him are a pretty talkative pairing. No matter what happens, bad play, good play, were talking about it, trying to improve, trying to make sure were on the same page as much as possible. "If it was flip-flopped and it was me, he would have came to me and asked me, What could we have done differently, what could we have done better? Thats the beauty of our pairing and the beauty of him, too. He doesnt soak in the wounds, so to speak, think about the what-ifs. He just tries to correct it, see what he can do better, and were there supporting him." It was clearly appreciated. "Its great to hear the guys rally around you," said Girardi. "That could happen to anyone and everyone would have reacted the same way, doesnt matter who it is. Thats the type of team we are. Everyones got each others back." Several assistant coaches also spoke to Girardi afterwards. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault, meanwhile, kept the incident in perspective "Everybody understands the dynamic of that play," he said. "You know, Dans got to turn the page and move on. "Hes been one of our real solid defencemen, not only in the playoffs and the regular season, but hes a real hard worker, and Im sure that hes focused on the next game now." Greg Monroe Jersey .

Instead, Munoz rebounded to fire a 9-under 63 Saturday to shoot up the leaderboard and vault into contention at the US$2.25-million Canadian Pacific Womens Open. Shes tied with Na Yeon Choi in second place, four strokes behind So Yeon Ryu, who leads at 20-under par going into the final round. "The key of my round was on (hole No.) 4, I was going for it in two with a 4-iron and I hit in the water," Munoz said. "But I kept it calm, I knew I could still make up and down for par, so I did, and after that everything just went my way." Except, perhaps, for Ryu, who didnt drift back to the pack by shooting a 67. Shes looking to become the sixth wire-to-wire winner in this tournaments history and the first since Michelle Wie in 2010. Munoz had six birdies on the back nine as part of a bogey-free round, tying the course record at London Hunt and Country Club that Ryu set Thursday. The 26-year-old Spainard felt like she was doing "everything" right. "I was driving the ball really well, and I was hitting really good iron shots into the greens," Munoz said. "I had so many chances. And then I made lots of putts, too -- I made a couple really long ones and quite a few shorter ones." As dazzling as Munozs round was, she still has some work to do to catch up to Ryu, who has been remarkably consistent through three rounds with 21 birdies and just one bogey. Ryu is looking for her first victory since 2012. "I havent won any tournaments the last two years," the 24-year-old said. "If Im going to win this tournament, Im going to break that. I really want to break it, I really want to stop it." Ryu is on pace to snap the tournament record of 18 under set by Suzann Petterson in 2009 and is within range of the LPGA Tour record of 26 under, which belongs to the legendary Annika Sorenstam. "I think my lowest record is 29 under when I was 16 at the Asian Games," Ryu said. "If I have the chance I want to break my career record, and also if I can I want to break another LPGA record." Determined to focus on her own game, the South Korean said she didnt peek at the leaderboard Saturday. But Ryu already set a goal of sinking seven birdies in the final round. Ryu, Munoz and Choi, who shot a 6-under 66, tee off as the final group at 11:45 a.m. Sunday. BBehind them on the leaderboard are LPGA Championship winner Inbee Park at 14 under, Swede Anna Nordqvist at 13 under and Americans Brittany Lincicome and Danielle Kang at 12 under. Marcus Smart Jersey. Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., shot a 1-under 71 to get to 4 under as the lowest Canadian left. Fellow amateur Jennifer Ha of Calgary moved to 2 under with a 73, while Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont., shot a 76 to drop to 1 under and Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., shot a 74 to drop to 1 over. Choi set the tone for the low-scoring weekend with an 8-under 64 Thursday morning. After seeing that, Park wondered if it would take 20 under to win the tournament. Given the way Ryu has been driving, chipping and putting, that turned out to be a conservative estimate. "Its going to be over 20, thats for sure," Park said. "I dont know how So Yeon is going to play tomorrow, but if she goes really low tomorrow, 25-under pars definitely possible." Despite being four strokes back of a player she conceded was even more "on fire" than her, Choi was plenty confident about her chances given the course conditions. "Someone can shoot 9 under, 8 under," she said. "Even I could shoot like 8, 9 under tomorrow." Munoz showed that was possible Saturday, even with more difficult pin placements for the 87 players who made the cut. Her only real glance at the leaderboard was Thursday when she saw Chois 64 before she even teed off, but that didnt make her task feel any more daunting. "Its actually good because you have that number in mind, you know its possible," Munoz said. "So at least you go out there thinking you can make lots of birdies." Birdies are available all over the course, and players are mindful that each one on the 17th hole means a $5,000 donation from title sponsor Canadian Pacific for the London-based Childrens Health Foundation. But Ryu hasnt been saving her best for the second-to-last hole, and Park knows that her friend is so locked in that rivals will have to shoot very low to beat her. Ryu hasnt won since the 2012 Jamie Farr Toledo Classic but won two of the three previous times she held the 54-hole lead. "I definitely think shes due," Park said. "I think she was due a long time ago, but she probably threw her opportunities away. If I cant do it this time, hopefully she does it. Im really rooting for her."
