NEW YORK, N. Custom Air Force 1 Canada .Y. - The NHL suspended New York Rangers defenceman John Moore on Wednesday for five games without pay for an illegal hit to the head of Minnesota Wild forward Erik Haula. The decision was handed out by the leagues Department of Player Safety following an in-person hearing with Moore, who is considered a repeat offender. Moore was assessed a match penalty 7:12 into the second period of Monday nights game when he delivered a shoulder to Haulas head in the New York zone after Haula shot the puck. Moore will begin serving the suspension Saturday when the Rangers host the Winnipeg Jets, and he will be eligible to return on Nov. 11 at home against Pittsburgh. He was also suspended for two games in last seasons Eastern Conference finals when he landed a similar hit to the head of Montreal forward Dale Weise in Game 5. Under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, Moore will lose US$51,859.75 in salary that will go to the Players Emergency Assistance Fund. In a video explaining the suspension, the league said the nature of the hit, Haulas resulting injury, and Moores repeat offender status were key factors in determining the punishment. Just after Haula releases the puck, Moore drives into him forcefully with his left shoulder, the video narrator said. While initial contact is made with Haulas shoulder, the main point of contact is Haulas head. The league pointed out that Haula was eligible to be checked, and Moores hit wasnt late. Moore also didnt hit with his elbow as he landed the hit, but it was still illegal. If Moore is to attempt this extremely difficult hit, his timing and angle of approach must ensure that he hits squarely through the body and that Haulas head is not the main point of contact. Moore does neither, the video stated. Haulas head absorbs the brunt of Moores shoulder, and the way Haula spins to the ice is a clear indication that this hit was not square through the body. Moore was the second Rangers player ejected from Monday nights 5-4 win. Earlier in the game, forward Chris Kreider was kicked out after he received a major penalty for boarding defenceman Jonas Brodin in the first period. New York killed off both five-minute power plays that resulted from Kreiders and Moores hits. Kreider didnt receive any supplemental discipline from the NHL. Michael Kostka is expected to replace Moore in the lineup beginning on Saturday. He hasnt played since he committed two turnovers that led to goals in a loss to the New York Islanders on Oct. 14. That is the only game Kostka has played in this season. Cheap Air Force 1 Canada .

With Daniel Ricciardos maiden victory in Canada two weeks ago, Red Bull ended a six-race winning streak by Mercedes but the Australian driver and his teammate Sebastian Vettel did not come close to matching their rivals speed on the Red Bull Ring. Lewis Hamilton beat teammate Nico Rosberg to the fastest time in the second practice. Hamilton completed his best lap on the 4.3-kilometre (2.7-mile) track in 1 minute, 9.542 seconds, topping Rosberg by 0.377. Ferraris Fernando Alonso was almost a second off the lead in third. Vettel came sixth, more than 1.4 seconds behind Hamilton, while Ricciardo posted the eighth fastest time. Mercedes also came 1-2 in the opening practice, with Rosberg beating Hamilton by 0.140. "Its so close between the two of us," Rosberg said about the fight with Hamilton for pole position. "Im hoping we will still have the edge on everybody else. That seems to be the case today." However, Hamilton said he wouldnt mind if Rosberg started in front of him on Sunday. "Hunting definitely brings out the better side," the 2008 F1 champion said. "When you are in front, you feel vulnerable and any mistake you make you are going to be caught." In the morning session, Ricciardo and Vettel came only 13th and 15th respectively. "We clearly did better in the afternoon," Vettel said. "We are not there where we want to be when it comes to speed ... but it will be warmer on Saturday and Sunday and I think that will bring us closer." In the first session, Vettel brought his car back to the garage undamaged following a spectacular incident in the final turn. He came off the track and spun twice on the grass before the car came to a standstill on the track again. "t;That wasnt planned of course," the four-time champion said. Air Force 1 Canada. "I went too wide and the wet grass was slippery." Ricciardo also spun on the same spot shortly afterward, prompting team boss Christian Horner to joke "they were just warming up the crowd." "We are trying to find out the limit, and both just came on the grass," said Horner, adding the track was still lacking grip during the first session. "There was also a little bit of rain in the air. Thankfully everything is fine." Rosberg quit his first practice after 19 laps with a minor problem to his hybrid engine, enabling his technicians to fix the problem in time for the afternoons session. The German, however, couldnt keep up with Hamilton this time and didnt hide his anger as he was unaware over engine tests his team was applying on his car toward the end of the second session. "I was suddenly losing power and asked over the radio what was happening," Rosberg said. "Only then they told me they had changed my engine settings." Rosberg leads Hamilton in the drivers standings by 140-118 points going into Sundays race, the first GP in Austria since 2003. Most of the 22 drivers knew the track only from computer simulation. Alonso is one of just four drivers who raced on the track before, alongside McLarens Jenson Button, Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen and Williams Felipe Massa. The track is one of the shortest on the F1 calendar and features fast straights and only nine turns. Weather conditions could become an issue in the race as strong winds in the second practice Friday caused several drivers problems, especially on the third and eighth turns. The second session was considerably faster than the first as temperatures went up and teams were able to test their so-called supersoft tires, which helped cut lap times by approximately 0.6 seconds. The third practice is scheduled for Saturday, followed by the qualifying. ' ' '
