Ales Hemsky the shootout king
Edmonton’s Ales Hemsky earned a special footnote in NHL history last Sunday. The speedy forward snapped a shot past Columbus goaltender Pascal Leclaire for the 1,000th shootout goal scored in the two-plus seasons since the NHL adopted the penalty-shot competition to settle tied games.
It’s somewhat appropriate that Hemsky was the one who scored the milestone goal. He did it on his 35th career shootout attempt -- the most among all NHL players; four more than runner-up Slava Kozlov of Atlanta. Hemsky and teammate Sam Gagner are tops among all players this season with 15 attempts; they share the single-season record with Minnesota’s Mikko Koivu and Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby, both of whom had 15 attempts last season. Koivu scored eight times, Hemsky six, and Gagner and Crosby were successful five times.

In professional American football, the Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (NFL)
The game, held on February 3, 2009 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, was a rematch of the final game of the regular season. In that contest, the Patriots won 38–35 to complete the first perfect regular season since the aforementioned 1972 Dolphins team, and the first one since the league expanded to a 16-game regular season schedule in 1978. Thus, New England entered Super Bowl XLII as 12-point favorites.
