VANCOUVER - The New York Rangers knew exactly what to expect from the Vancouver Canucks and made them pay dearly.Mats Zuccarello scored twice and Henrik Lundqvist made 29 saves Saturday as New York steamrolled Vancouver 5-1 by taking advantage of the Canucks tendency to pinch their defence at the opposing teams blue-line.The Rangers scored on three odd-man rushes in quick succession to effectively put the game out of reach before it was seven minutes old.We pre-scouted, our coaches talked about that a lot, said New York defenceman Ryan McDonagh, who opened the scoring. It was going to be a big job for our wingers to either hold onto pucks or not get it back to them or get it out of the zone.We were able to do that right away in the first period and we got some good looks because of it.J.T. Miller and Marc Staal had the other goals for New York (13-10-4), while Rick Nash and Derick Brassard each added two assists.We talked about them pinching, said Lundqvist, whose team hadnt played since Monday and had lost two of its last three. I didnt think they were going to go that hard every time. It was almost like a 50-50 puck they were going for it and we made them pay, especially in the first period.Nick Bonino had the only goal for Vancouver (18-10-2), while Ryan Miller made 18 stops in taking the ugly loss.Theres no excuse for that. We know that weve got to be better than that, said Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins. Sometimes theres nights like this. Theyre never acceptable, but the only thing we can do is get better. We have no choice. The only choice we have is to get better.The Canucks were playing at home for the first time since Nov. 25 after wrapping up a season-long seven-game road trip that saw them go a respectable 3-3-1, but finish with consecutive defeats in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Desjardins said changes will be coming in his teams approach ahead of Wednesdays home tilt against the Dallas Stars.You play a certain way and we played a certain way and now were getting caught on it, he said. We try to play an aggressive style and when it doesnt work it goes the other way and it was going the other way tonight.I think we have to make some adjustments in the system.After a bad pinch from defenceman Ryan Stanton — one of many culprits on this night — Jesper Fast fed McDonagh on a 3-on-1 break for his first of the season at 2:36 of the opening period to make it 1-0.The Rangers then somehow broke in on a 4-on-1 rush shortly after that failed to connect before J.T. Miller buried his third of the season on a 2-on-1 break with a nice move to the backhand at 3:19.Zuccarello continued the onslaught at 6:46 on another 3-on-1, ripping home his fifth of the campaign as New York scored on three straight shots.Wrong decisions all over the ice, said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin. Forwards not coming back, not keeping the third guy high, defence pinching when they shouldnt. On every one of those you can point out three or four mistakes. Its not just one guy, its from all five guys on the ice.Ryan Miller couldnt be faulted on any of the goals, but still felt the sting of being down three so early at home.We got caught a few times and they made the odd-man rushes count. I would have liked to have been a little bit more available to make a save for the boys, but it didnt work out, he said. They set up some plays and made them count.Staal made it 4-1 at 7:17 of the second when his first of the season found its way through a screen past Ryan Miller, who looked especially frustrated and shrugged his shoulders as the Rangers celebrated at the Canucks blue-line.New Yorks Martin St. Louis was awarded a penalty shot just over five minutes later after getting hooked on a breakaway, but he couldnt beat the Vancouver goalie.But any good feeling didnt last long as Zuccarello scored his second of the night and sixth of the season with 2:21 left in the period by tapping home a slick pass from Brassard.Youve got to give yourself a chance to win and we didnt, said Desjardins. We cant blame anybody but ourselves in the structure. Its the not the players, its the coaches. Its my fault. If were getting scored on like that then weve got to do some adjustments system-wise. Weve all got to get better.The one thing about games like that is you just realize you need each other. You cant do it by yourself. One guy cant do it, you need each other. As a group weve got to get better.Vancouver finally got on the board when Bonino broke Lundqvists shutout bid at 4:20 of the third with his eighth of the season and first in 16 games, but it was far too late to influence an outcome that was decided early.Youre going to go through a season, youre going to have to find a way to dig out of things, said Miller. This is our first opportunity to have to dig out of a hole thats a little deeper than usual. See how we respond here. Youre not going to go 82 (games) without a stretch like this.For us to be a team that is going to do anything worthwhile at the end of the season were going to have to learn how to handle ourselves emotionally and handle the adjustments we need to make and go from here.Id like to see a nice response next game and well see if were ready to dig out or just dig it deeper.Notes: Boninos goal was his first point in seven games. ...

The UEFA president told sports newspaper LEquipe that he doesnt regret his own vote for Qatar and still thinks the Gulf nation "was the right choice for FIFA and for world football." "But if instances of corruption are proved, there will need to be a new vote and sanctions," Platini said. A FIFA prosecutor plans by next week to wrap up his investigation of the 2010 votes for Qatar and 2018 World Cup host Russia. On a personal note, Platini claimed that "somebody, something" is plotting to discredit his possible candidacy for the FIFA presidency. Media reports this week cast doubts on Platinis links to now disgraced Qatari official Mohamed bin Hammam. Londons Daily Telegraph alleged Platini had "a secret meeting" before the 2010 vote with Bin Hammam, suspected of vote-buying and other irregularities and whom FIFA subsequently expelled in 2012. Platini told LEquipe it was simply breakfast with a work colleague. Bin Hammam, like Platini, was a member of the FIFA board. "I read Platini corrupt? in all the newspapers, on news agency wires, on blogs. Honestly, it huurts," Platini said.dddddddddddd He added: "I saw this colleague 10,000 times in 15 years. Why would I have had a secret meeting with him? I now realize that in the background there is somebody, something, people organizing all this. I can feel it." "For a year now, everything is being done to discredit me, regardless of what I do. It is easy to feed people who spend their time denigrating you on social networks. There are firms that specialize in this. Its not hard, you simply have to pay." Platini stopped short of accusing FIFA and its president Sepp Blatter of involvement. "I have no proof," he said. "I dont know who is behind all this. But I think lots of interests are at stake, for those at FIFA, for those who want to be there" and "without doubt also for those who want us to overturn the attribution of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar." Platini said, however, that none of this will influence his decision on whether to challenge Blatter for the FIFA presidency. Platini said he will announce in August, after the World Cup in Brazil, whether he will run in the May 2015 election. Blatter is looking to next weeks FIFA congress to support his own ambitions for another four-year term. ' ' '
