We all need to have a hard look in the mirror.Leading by eight at halftime, the Kings blew the margin out to 28 with a powerful defensive performance in the third quarter.It only gets better for Sydney with former NBA player Steve Blake joining the club two days ago as a replacement for Michael Bryson.The Kings hope Blake is cleared to make his NBL debut in this Sundays round four home game against the Brisbane Bullets.Sydney also have injured centre Julian Khazzouh to add to the mix when he makes his comeback from a leg injury in a few weeks.Wooden spooners last season, Sydney (4-1) have almost equalled last seasons win total after three rounds.Both teams came out firing, hitting a collective 20 of 36 shots in the opening period.The lead changed hands throughout the early stages before Sydney swingman Dion Prewster drained a three-point bomb to put his team up 25-23 at quarter-time.Illawarra scratched out a 42-38 lead but the Kings fought back, outscoring the visitors 15-3 over the final four minutes of the second quarter to lead 53-45 at halftime.The Kings dominated the third quarter with an NBL record 11 steals and cruised to victory in the final period.Illawarra host reigning champions Perth on Friday night and are back on their home court on Sunday night against the Cairns Taipans.

Air Force 1 Online .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. ARLINGTON, Va. -- The simple thing the Washington Capitals want to get out of their four-game Western Canadian road trip doesnt tell the whole story.Player after player said the Capitals are looking for a perfect eight points out of games at the Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets. More specifically the defending Presidents Trophy winners want to develop more consistency all over the ice.Washingtons 3-1-1 record through five games is nothing to shake a stick at, but theyve had second-period lulls, defensive breakdowns and poor special teams play.At times were playing really great hockey and the way we want, and then the other times I think mentally we just kind of take a step back or try to do a little too much or think the games going to come easier, right winger T.J. Oshie said Tuesday. As long as we keep our foot on the gas, play a little bit more consistent game, a faster game, I think were going to be doing pretty good.Coach Barry Trotz shook up his top lines after a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday, putting Andre Burakovsky on right wing with captain Alex Ovechkin and all-star center Evgeny Kuznetsov and moving Oshie down to play with Marcus Johansson and Nicklas Backstrom. He kept the power-play units the same despite a 2 for 16 success rate that ranks the Capitals 22nd in the NHL going into Tuesday.Trotz believes the power play and the penalty kill, which at 71.4 percent is 26th in the league, will get it together. But hed like to see a more even game in all situations.It can be faceoffs, it can be wall plays, it can be just our structure though the neutral zone, Trotz said. We want to know what youre going to get every day so that we can really lock down an identity so everybody knows exactly what theyre up against every night and how we play and theres not a lot of deviation from it. With that, you get a lot of order and with that order youre going to get some production.ddddddddddddWhen you dont have everybody on the same page, youre not going to be that good.Trotz wants the Capitals to be a 60-minute team, and those middle 20 minutes have been a source of some frustration. Washington has been outscored 6-2 in the second period, a puzzling problem to say the least.For some reason we havent played as well as we have in the first and third periods, Johansson said. If we knew (why), it would make it a lot easier. We just have to play a full 60 minutes hard.The four-game trip starts with a major test Wednesday against 19-year-old superstar Connor McDavid and the Oilers. This will be the first time the Capitals face McDavid, who missed much of last season with a broken collarbone but is on top of his game, tied for the league lead in scoring with nine points.Capitals players know how good McDavid can be but are wary of his high-skilled unpredictability that defenseman Matt Niskanen joked hasnt been coached out of him yet.Its always tough to know what hes going to do because hes so fast, said Burakovsky, who played with McDavid on the Ontario Hockey Leagues Erie Otters. He likes to just skate around you with the puck.The Oilers are so far one of the best teams in hockey because of McDavid and linemates Milan Lucic and Jordan Eberle. Washington had been one of the best defensive teams before the loss to the Rangers, so stopping McDavid and company will be a tall task.Theyve got a combination of skills on that line, Niskanen said. Itll be a good challenge for us. Its for sure going to be a different Oilers team than its been in the last couple years.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno . ' ' '
