BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Fernando Alonso is treating McLarens promising Friday practice performance with caution after he and teammate Jenson Button finished seventh and eighth in FP2 for the Hungarian Grand Prix.Mercedes appears to be in a class of its own at the Hungaroring, with Red Bull and Ferrari in a battle for the second and third rows of the grid. McLaren was the fourth quickest team in both practice sessions on Friday, but Alonso warned that Friday pace has not always transferred to high grid positions once the Mercedes-powered teams switch to their qualifying settings.We were 7th today but well have to see how it goes, he said. We were up there in Silverstone and just made into Q3 to qualify 10th. I think well be in the battle to get into Q3 and hopefully well be in the top ten as that should give us an advantage in the race.Lets see what happens tomorrow, as others do improve a lot when they get full use of their engines in qualifying, especially the Mercedes. Here the engine counts a bit less, so hopefully they wont have that much of an advantage and well be able to stay up there.McLaren had to fit a used Honda power unit to Alonsos car between practice sessions after his new one from Silverstone developed a problem.The first session went rather well, there were no issues, but while we were in the technical meeting a Honda engineer came up to tell us it would be better to change the Power Unit. So they put back the one I used in Austria and Azerbaijan, and it ran with no problems in FP2, so it will stay in the car for tomorrow.Of course its bad news to have to change a Power Unit that has done just one Grand Prix, in Silverstone, but its not a step backward, its something normal.

Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively.

Kevin Huerter Hawks Jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. DeAndre Bembry Jersey . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball. EDMONTON, Alta -- The Minnesota Wild lost the first three games of their five-game road trip.But as they prepare to play the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, Minnesotas coach and players said they feel like they should have come out with something more.All three were one-goal losses, including Friday 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary, and two came in the shootout.In each of the Wilds last five games, they scored first. So, its not like Minnesota is struggling badly. Its more of a case of small mistakes costing them points.Weve just got to get sharper, said Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk, who played 171 games as an Edmonton Oiler. Were a great hockey team. We talk about that in the room. Just because were a great hockey team doesnt mean its just going to happen for us. We have to go out there and be great. We have a lot of guys in this room that can do that. Its a long season. I have no doubt well get back to where we were.If the Wild could get some goals from their top line, they could turn narrow losses into victories. Coach Bruce Boudreau has been very critical of his top unit of Charlie Coyle, Zach Parise and Eric Staal. The trio didnt get a point against Calgary, and generated only four shots on goal.They were pointless in Tuesdays 5-4 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.(They) werent very good, Boudreau said of his top three. Theyve got to get going on their own. We can prod them, but in the end, we need those guys to be our best players or were noot going to have success.dddddddddddd.The Oilers won only their second home game in their last seven on Saturday, a 3-2 overtime victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Leon Draisaitl scored the winner and has three goals in his last two games. Connor McDavid, the NHLs leader with 34 points, had his seven-game point streak snapped, but still has 15 points in his last eight outings.Sometimes it takes a little while to build chemistry and feel really comfortable with guys, Draisaitl said. We had some good looks (against the Ducks) and had the tough matchups.Oilers coach Todd McLellan is looking to get more out of the Oilers power play on home ice. It has been Jekyll-and-Hyde this season. On the road, it has a 26.8 percent success rate, but its only 12.6 at home.The Oilers got a power-play goal in Saturdays win, though, and another just as an Anaheim penalty was expiring. So the coach is hoping the team is snapping out of its home-ice funk.Weve moved a few people around and encouraged them to throw more pucks at the net, but tactically and systematically, there is not a lot of difference, McLellan said. They are just going in. We were in the crapper with the power play and now we are starting to come out of it and we need to keep it rolling.This will be the first meeting of the season between the Wild and Oilers. ' ' '
