White-hot Melbourne Victory striker Natasha Dowie has twin goals in mind as she prepares for the first Melbourne derby of the W-League season.The first order of business is becoming the first side to stop Melbourne Citys relentless charge through the league.And if she can do that, the leagues in-form striker believes she will be on track to represent England again.Dowie, 28, has three goals in as many games this season, leading the W-League goalscoring charts despite Victory languishing on the bottom of the table.On Sunday at AAMI Park, her side faces the most imposing test of their season to date when their cross-town rivalry resumes.But Dowie - whose impressive CV includes stints in England, the USA and a quarter-century of caps with the Three Lions - says Victory can spring a surprise.Fair play to City, they ran away with last year and theyre the strong favourites 100 per cent, she told AAP.But with a derby its not about form, its about who turns up on the day.I learned that playing for Liverpool. Whenever wed play Everton - always classed as the weaker team - it was never easy.Theres no point in playing the game if you cant get up for games like this and it would be amazing if we could turn them over and stop their unbeaten run.Off the back of a short spell with Boston Breakers, Dowie said she was hitting new heights.I feel great and Im probably in the best form Ive ever been in, she said.Id be happier if we were winning games. But on an individual note I cant be doing any more than Im doing.Dowie was the leading scorer in the 2013 English Womens Super League, but missed out on the 2013 European Championship.Her qualifying goals helped England reach the 2015 Womens World Cup but the striker was again overlooked for the Canada tournament.Still, she remains hopeful that good form over the Australian summer can help her win caps in the future.Ive been in and out of the England setup and Id be stupid to say it wasnt in my mind. Every player wants to play for their country and go to the big tournaments, she said.With my goalscoring record, I feel like I should be involved.NFL Jerseys Wholesale .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J.

Discount NFL Jerseys 2020 .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.(Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators will try to finish off the second- seeded Montreal Canadiens when they visit the Habs on Thursday for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Listen to all the action live on TSN Radio 690, beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. The seventh-seeded Senators enter Game 5 with a 3-1 edge in the series. Ottawa earned a split at Montreals Bell Centre to begin the best-of-seven set before taking the last two meetings on home ice. The Sens then used a late comeback to force overtime in Game 4 and won it in the extra session on a fluky goal by Kyle Turris. After destroying the Canadiens, 6-1, in a fight-filled Game 3, the Senators won a much more subdued contest between the Northeast Division foes on Thursday. Although the Game 4 contest was short on penalty minutes, it was long on drama. Montreal entered the third period with a 2-0 lead after scoring twice in the span of 62 seconds early in the second. However, Mika Zibanejad cut the deficit to 2-1 with 8:05 remaining in the third and Cory Conacher tied it with just 23 seconds left, setting up Turris OT game-winner. On the winning play, Turris was harassed by a Canadiens defender in the left circle, but the Sens forward escaped long enough to send a wrister to the Habs net, which deflected off the elbow of defenseman Raphael Diaz and caromed past Peter Budaj -- who began the extra session in place of the injured Carey Price -- to end the contest. "I thought both teams played hard and played hockey. They were better than us for awhile, we were better than them for awhile," offered Senators head coach Paul MacLean. Craig Anderson stopped 26 shots for Ottawa, which can advance to the second round for the first time since 2007 with one more victory. The Senators have been bounced out in the first round in three straight trips to the playoffs since making a run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 07.dddddddddddd PK Subban and Alex Galchenyuk lit the lamp early in the second period for the Canadiens. Price ended up with 30 saves, but Budaj was saddled with the loss. Meanwhile, it was announced Thursday morning that Price will miss the remainder of this series after suffering an unspecified lower-body injury while stopping the last shot of regulation. Budaj has seen action in five career playoff games, but this will be his first start. The injuries are beginning to mount for Montreal, as it was announced Wednesday that captain Brian Gionta needs to undergo season-ending surgery on his left biceps muscle. On top of losing the captain for the rest of the playoffs, forwards Brandon Prust, Ryan White and Lars Eller were already scheduled to miss Thursdays game with various upper-body injuries. In addition to injuries, the Habs also may have been the victim of a bad replay decision in the third period on Thursday. After Zibanejad redirected a Chris Neil pass from the right-wing boards into the net with his skate, the league looked at the goal. Despite overhead replays which seemed to reveal the puck being directed in with a distinct kicking motion, the goal was allowed to stand. "It was a kicking motion, theres nothing you can do about it, its a league decision," said Habs head coach Michel Therrien. The Canadiens will try to stave off elimination tonight on home ice, where they were 14-7-3 as the host during the regular season. Ottawa, which has never squandered a 3-1 series edge in its modern history, was 10-11-3 on the road this season. If necessary, Game 6 of this series is scheduled for Saturday in Ottawa. ' ' '
