ADELBODEN, Switzerland -- Marcel Hirscher mastered a classic Swiss slope yet again Sunday, winning a World Cup slalom to seize the lead in the overall and discipline standings. Hirscher, the Austrian two-time defending overall champion, sliced through the gates on a thrilling run down the steep final slope to beat Andre Myhrer of Sweden by 0.29 seconds. "Its maybe a stupid decision," Hirscher said about his risk-taking. "If you give a lot, you can win a lot." Teenager Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway was third, trailing 0.66 behind Hirschers combined two-run time of 1 minute, 49.75 seconds. Hirscher won this race for the past two years en route to taking the giant crystal globe as the worlds best Alpine skier. "Its very wonderful here," Hirscher said of the historic venue which has featured since the World Cup started in 1967. "Its kind of a special race and its working pretty well for me." Felix Neureuther of Germany lost his unbeaten record in 2014 by straddling a gate when poised to challenge Hirschers time. With 100 race points for victory, Hirscher now leads Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway by 23 points in the overall standings. Svindal is a speed specialist who skips slalom races. Ted Ligety of the United States retained a distant third place overall despite skiing out in the second run. Calgarys Brad Spence continued his comeback from injury with a 20th place finish. Hirscher also took the discipline standings lead from teammate Mario Matt who failed to finish the second run. He leads by 60 points from Mattias Hargin of Sweden, who placed fourth Sunday after being fastest in the morning. With his fourth win this season, the 24-year-old Hirscher has 22 career World Cup victories including 12 in slalom. Kristoffersen, a 19-year-old junior world champion in two events, got his second career podium finish one day after almost colliding with a television production worker who strayed on the course during Saturdays giant slalom won by Neureuther. "I skied over the back of his skis. I was definitely touching him a little bit there. (It) happens. Were only humans," Kristoffersen said. Spence, who underwent knee surgery in the spring of 2012, started from 45th place and finished with a two-run combined time of 1:52.76. "My goal was a top-20 (finish)," he said. "I knew I could qualify with bib 45. It was just a matter of doing things right. Ive been training really well but on race day things werent coming together. "To have that first run and qualify and then an OK second run, its a good day." Canadian alpine skiiers typically need two top-12 World Cup results to make the Olympic team, but with Spences injury status last season, a top-20 may be enough to earn him a spot. Bode Miller placed outside the top-30 in the morning Sunday so did not qualify for a second run. The American veteran, who won this race in 2002, lost his race line and speed at the top of the final pitch. David Chodounsky of the U.S. was eighth, 1.70 behind Hirscher, to follow his 10th place here one year ago. The host Switzerland team offered little for an enthusiastic crowd of 12,000 spectators on a sunny day with temperatures rising above 43 F (6 C). Only Markus Vogel advanced to the second run and placed 17th. "The crowd is one of the most fair on the World Cup tour," said Hirscher, whose next race is next Sunday in slalom at nearby Wengen. The three-race Wengen meeting includes the Lauberhorn downhill Saturday that is the traditional highlight of the Swiss sporting year. Matt Schaub Authentic Jersey.

The Senators will face Alfredsson for the first time Wednesday since the 40-year-old chose to leave Ottawa and sign with the Detroit Red Wings as a free agent this past summer. Alfredssons decision came as a shock to many, and while fans might still be reeling, the players say theyve moved on, adding Wednesdays game in Detroit is more about two points on the road and beating a division rival than facing a former teammate. "Its more (weird) for him," said new captain Jason Spezza. "Were used to seeing one guy move on and play for a different team and play against teammates youve played with. It will be different because its Alfie, but I think it will be harder for him playing against Ottawa because its the only place hes ever played." Senators coach Paul MacLean has great memories from his own time in Detroit, where he served as an assistant coach to Mike Babcock. But as far as hes concerned, this is just one more game on the schedule. "Were just going there to play the Red Wings," said MacLean. "Thats all my focus is on is were playing the Red Wings. Thats a big enough task in my book. "They have lots of good players. Daniel is one of them so our focus is on the Red Wings and how they play as a team, not one guy." MacLean has reason to worry. Going into Mondays games, the Red Wings led the Atlantic Division, with Alfredsson putting up one goal and nine points through his first nine games. Meanwhile, the Senators were sixth. Senators tough guy Chris Neil says it will be a little strange to see Alfredsson in a different jersey, but says he wont get any special treatment. If the opportunity to finish a check on Alfredsson arises, he wont think twwice.dddddddddddd. "At the end of the day hes just on another team," said Neil, who spent 11 seasons with Alfredsson. "Its not like hes not our friend, but youve got to go out and play hard against him. For us we want to get the two points and thats the bottom line. Its no different than playing other friends on other teams." While the Senators seem to have adjusted to life without Alfredsson, there is perhaps no one who misses him more than Erik Karlsson. The Senators defenceman lived with Alfredsson and his family as a rookie and the two Swedes were extremely close. "Its been very different," Karlsson said. "Hes been here as long as Ive been here and longer than that as well. Its just something that you were used to and someone you were used to having around all the time. Its different, but its going well. Im still a happy guy and even though I miss him were still talking every once in a while so its all good." As for facing his former mentor, Karlsson doesnt anticipate it being as big a deal as many are making it out to be. "Its going to be different in a way, but I think once the game starts its not going to be on anyones mind its going to be like a regular game. Maybe if we see him before the game and after its going to be a little bit weird, but once the puck drops I think its going to be just like normal." Alfredsson had a great deal of influence on the franchise and the community and Neil understands the emotional impact the former captains departure has had, but he says everyone needs to move on. "The city of Ottawa is going to miss him and as teammates of his for so long we miss him too, but he turned the page. Weve got to turn the page too," he said. "You dont dwell on it, you just go out, focus on the task at hand and thats to beat the Detroit Red Wings." Cheap Soccer Jerseys?
