CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks dominated much of Saturday nights game against the Buffalo Sabres. Cheap Air Max From China . When they got into a bit of trouble at the end, Corey Crawford was there to carry them to the finish. Crawford made 28 saves to lead the Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the winless Sabres. Ben Smith and Patrick Kane scored for the Blackhawks, who swept a pair of weekend home games, edging the Islanders 3-2 on Friday. Drew Stafford connected with 8:11 left in the third, spoiling Crawfords bid for a shutout. The Sabres (0-5-1) put together several tough challenges in the second and third periods after a slow start. "Its never an easy game," Crawford said. "They kind of hung around there. "Their goalie kept them in it, made some big stops. And they gave us a test there at the end." Ryan Miller had 38 saves for Buffalo, which has been outscored 16-6 in its worst start since 1999-2000, when it was 0-5-2. Millers performance kept the Sabres in the game, but the Blackhawks were in position for a bigger night on offence. "The finish, what it takes to score in this league, maybe we need to be a little greasier around the net," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Hang around, put it in the back of the net. "Weve missed the net, which is our biggest problem scoring goals right now. The second chances are the ones that go in in our league." Buffalos offensive futility is making life more difficult for Miller, the 2010 Vezina Trophy winner and a two-time U.S. Olympian. "It puts a lot of emphasis in the backside and you cant make any mistakes," Miller said. "Weve got to try to find a way to earn our goals and find a way to score." The Blackhawks outshot the Sabres 20-6 in the first period, but only had a 1-0 lead at intermission. Chicagos puck possession and territory dominance was aided by three power plays. But Smiths even-strength tip-in for his first goal of the season at 9:26 was the only score. Brent Seabrook wristed a shot from just inside the blue line at the top of the slot. Smith, one of four players parked in front of the net, then deflected the puck over Millers glove. Despite continued pressure in the second period, the Blackhawks didnt get their second goal until Kanes power-play score with 24.9 seconds left. Kane was open low in the right circle, and whipped Patrick Sharps cross-ice feed past Miller before he could slide across the crease. Chicago had plenty of chances early on. A quick reaction by Buffalo defenceman Tyler Myers prevented what appeared to be a sure goal. Miller got a piece of a close-in shot by Marian Hossa, but the puck continued toward the upper left corner of the net. Myers swatted the puck out of midair with his stick before it crossed the goal line. The Sabres finally began to test Crawford in the second with a flurry and several prime chances, but he stopped them all. His best stop came on a point-blank attempt by Steve Ott with 6:50 left in the period. Staffords goal completed a 3-on-2 rush. After taking Cody Hodgsons quick pass, Stafford slid a low shot past Crawford from the left circle. The Sabres outshot Chicago 13-3 in the third and tested Crawford in the final minutes. Crawford stopped Thomas Vaneks slap shot and then Hodgsons point-blank rebound attempt with just over four minutes left to preserve the lead. "If you look at the chances, we were even or better 5-on-5," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said. "We ran into some problems early with too many penalties." "I thought we had more chances from more lines, not just our top line," he added. "We havent had that the last couple of games, so thats a positive for us."

Former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds made his longshot request of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit upheld Bonds conviction in September. A jury found him guilty in April 2011. The jury deadlocked on three other counts that Bonds made false statements stemming from his denial that he knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs, and those charges were later dismissed. Bonds is asking the court to assemble a special panel of 11 judges to rehear the case. The court seldom grants those requests. It would take a majority vote of the 27 active judges on the court to reopen Bonds case. If the appeals court turns down his request, Bonds next and final step would be to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to take up his case. Bonds argues that he was wrongfully convicted of obstruction of justice for giving a raambling but truthful answer during a 2003 grand jury appearance. Discount Air Max Shoes. Its the same argument he made unsuccessfully to the three-judge panel that upheld his conviction. Bonds was asked whether his trainer, Greg Anderson, had injected him with a substance, and he replied by discussing the difficulties of being the son of a famous father. His father was Bobby Bonds, a major league player as well. Judge Mary Schroeder, in writing for the unanimous three-judge panel in September, said it was obvious Barry Bonds meant to mislead -- and obstruct -- the grand jurys investigation into his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs, often called PEDs. "The statement served to divert the grand jurys attention away from the relevant inquiry of the investigation, which was Anderson and BALCOs distribution of steroids and PEDs," Schroeder wrote. "The statement was therefore evasive." A spokeswoman with the U.S. Attorneys office in San Francisco didnt return email and phone requests for comment late Monday. ' ' '
