s all about for the Lightning, who needed to keep Killorns cap hit manageable with three other restricted free agents who need
SAN DIEGO -- Kicker Josh Lambo apologized to fans for laughing with Oaklands Sebastian Janikowski moments after the Chargers latest pratfall.Many fans expressed displeasure on social media after Lambo was seen laughing with the Oakland kicker after the Raiders 34-31 victory Sunday. Lambo was set to attempt a tying field goal with 2:07 left when rookie holder Drew Kaser mishandled the snap.I think it was a misinterpretation of what happened. Obviously I was as devastated as anybody about the loss, Lambo said Tuesday. No one enjoys losing I certainly dont take it lightly.Lambo said he understands how it was perceived as a bad look that he was seen laughing right after the gut-wrenching loss, and that hes spoken with teammates and coaches.Janikowski is in his 17th season, Lambo in his second.In the kicking world, hes a superstar. Hes a rock star, Lambo said. Hes a guy I look up to, a guy I consider a growing friend. We had a word, we had a laugh. Were people. The work day was over and he said something funny and when Sebastian Janikowski says something funny to you, you laugh.The Chargers (1-4) lost their 10th straight AFC West game going back to 2014. Theyve lost 17 of their last 22 overall and 10 of 11 road games.Up next is Thursday nights home game against five-time defending division champion Denver.The Chargers will have a new holder for placements, although Kaser will continue to punt. Coach Mike McCoy wouldnt say who the new holder will be, but its expected to be backup quarterback Kellen Clemens.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLNike Air Max Discount .

Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round.Alex Killorn and the Lightning wanted to keep the team together, and Tampa Bay made sure hed be part of its long-term future.The Lightning on Sunday signed Killorn to a $31.15 million, seven-year contract to avoid arbitration and lock up another important player.Earlier this offseason, Tampa Bay signed captain Steven Stamkos for eight years and $68 million, defenseman Victor Hedman for eight years and $63 million and goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy for three years and $10.5 million.After a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2015 and the Eastern Conference final in 2016, Killorn saw the Stamkos contract and the potential for more postseason success and wanted keep the trend going.When you have your captain, the leader of your team, taking a pretty substantial discount, I think that sets a precedent for everyone else, Killorn said by phone. For me it wasnt just about money. I think the contract was a great contract, but living in Florida, playing on a team that has a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup every year is important.Killorn, who turns 27 in September, will count $4.45 million against the salary cap through the 2022-23 season.He has 53 goals and 85 assists for 138 points in 272 regular-season NHL games. In 47 Stanley Cup playoff games, he has 15 goals and 18 assists.The Halifax, Nova Scotia, natives 33 playoff points are the fourth-most among Canadian-born players ovver the past three years.dddddddddddd. That total trails only Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks and Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks.Ive been pretty fortunate because when you play on a team that does so well, obviously youre going to be put in those situations, Killorn said. I think playoff hockey kind of suits my style.Winning in the playoffs is what its all about for the Lightning, who needed to keep Killorns cap hit manageable with three other restricted free agents who need contracts: forwards Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov and defenseman Nikita Nesterov.General manager Steve Yzerman said recently that negotiations with Kucherovs camp are ongoing, and Namestnikovs arbitration hearing is scheduled for July 29.If Yzerman can get the other deals done while navigating the salary cap, the Lightning should be one of the favorites to win the Cup next season and for several more years after that.Theres obviously still a couple guys that need to be signed, but it seems like most guys want to be here and want to be a part of this, Killorn said. Everyone really believes in the management and what theyre doing, so were just excited for the future.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno . ' ' '
