Hi I'm Andrew Zwarych and this is a CSM Sports Update...
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat up on a battered Baltimore Ravens team, securing a spot in the Superbowl with a 23-14 win. It was the Ravens 18th straight game without a bye and it showed. In the second quarter Ben Roethlisberger aired out a 65 yard pass to Santonio Holmes, who made the Ravens backfield look childish and walked in for a touchdown. Willis McGahee ran two touchdowns in for the Ravens to keep the game close, in the fourth he was carted off the field after a helmet-to-helmet hit but had movement in both his arms and legs. Troy Polamalu seeled the victory with a 40-yard interception return, just one of three interceptions on the night by Joe Flacco.
The Steelers will face the Arizona Cardinals Superbowl Sunday in Tampa Bay. The Cards were able to hold of the Eagles, 32-25. En route to Arizona's first-ever Super Bowl appearance, wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald put together a historic performance. Kurt Warner and fitzgerakd hooked up nine times for 152 yards and three touchdowns, all coming in the first half. Donovan McNabb put together a remarkable comeback from 18 points to a 25-24 lead, but was unable to hit any of his recievers late in the game when it mattered. This is the Arizona Cardinal's first Super Bowl appearance, but before they moved to Arizona they had won and finish second only to the Chicago Cubs, 100 years, for longest streak without winning in professional sports, at 61.
The Toronto Raptors lost their fifth straight game 117-113, against the Phoenix Suns. Steve Nash had 18 assists, most of which were to Amare Stoudemire who finished the game with 31 points. The win snapped a two game losing streak for the Suns. Leading the way for Raps were Anthony Parker and Joey Graham, who had 26 and 22 points respectivley. The Raps have little time off, they are back at it today at two against the Atlanta Hawks.
Ryan Smyth and Milan Hejduk both joined a select group in last night's 6-2 win over the Calgary Flames. No the two did not join the mile high club, but the 300 goal club, becoming just the second set of players in NHL history to reach the milestone in the same game. Peter Budaj snapped a four-game losing streak with 38 saves in the win. Marek Svatos, Chris Stewart, Ruslan Salei and Cody McLeod also scored in the win.
Columbus downed the Vancouver Canucks 6-5 in a shootout.
Ethan Moreau had a hat trick in Edmonton's 6-3 win over Phoenix.
The Penguins shut out the Rangers 3-0, Marc-Andre Fleury had 33 saves in the win.
Second- seeded Rodger Federer defeated Italy's own Andreas Seppi, earlier this morning.
Seventh-seeded American Andy Roddick cruised into the second round at the Australian Open beating Bjorn Rehnquist .
Jelena Jankovic of Serbia beat Austria's Yvonne Meusburger advancing to the second round.

Stand Up for Dave's Class
Even with their win over the Panthers, there is distress in the Cardinals dressing room.
Once again Edgerrin James had a limited role in the game with only 20 attempts averaging 2.9 yards.
He did run for a touchdown but was outrushed by his rookie peer Tim Hightower who picked up 76 yards on 17 attempts.
He lost his starting job seven games into the season to Hightower and only carried the ball 11 times in the next eight games.
James has already made it clear to the Cardinals managment that he will not be returning next season, even with one year remaining in his contract.
He told ESPN that he "can't go through with it anymore, and that he didn't join the team to be an offensive lineman."
The Eagles will look to hold Arizona's passing game to a minimum, which should hopefully allow James to get some more touches.
But the Cardinals will look to the sky once again in their battle of the birds Sunday when they host the Eagles in the NFC Conference Final.

45-second Voicer on TB trading Vinny
the situation in tampa bay looks like it will be getting worse before gets better anytime soon as NHL rumors swirl around lightning star Vincent Lecalvier. tampa havent commited to the idea of trading vinny but are exploring every possible option available. the basic nessesity for a deal to be made is lecalvier giving the green light. when Lecavalier signed his 11-year extension in the summer, he envisioned playing his entire career for the Lightning but with the franchises woes he may wish to abandon the sinking ship.
the team that the lightning seem to be trying to get a deal together with is the Montreal Canadiens. reports are circulating that the habs would be willing to part ways with Tomas Plekanec, Chris Higgins, prospect P.K. Subban, Josh Gorges and a package of draft picks including more than one first-round pick in return for vinny.
but when it comes down to it, if lecavalier doesnt want to go worst possible move by the lighning managment would be to trade him. what kind of message would that be to their fans, it wouldnt surprise many though, they've made worse decisions in the past.

Marty York- Tavares Lead
London fans hoped and prayed and their knight in shinning armour arrived just in time from Oshawa. John Tavares made his triumphant debut for the Knights in a 7-3 thumping of the St. Micheals Majors.
Tavares had two goals and an assist in his first game. Coach Dale Hunter played match maker throughout the game, switching up the lines looking for the best chemistry. "We tried him with everyone; we'll see who works best with him," Hunter said.
Tavares showed why he is a consensus number one pick in the up coming NHL draft, not just by putting up three points offensively, but he was also 16 for 20 in the faceoff circle and saw time on the penalty kill, logging nearly 20 minutes by the end of the game.
Jared Knight, Tucker Hunter, Vladimir Roth and Matt Clarke also scored for the Knights, who get a few days rest before their next game Thursday when they host the Rangers.
Marty's Points-
don't use -see- when describing the game. the game saw the lead switch hands...

Cards/Panthers Game Report

Cardinals vs Panthers Game Report
The Arizona Cardinals entered Saturday's match-up with the Carolina Panthers with an 0-5 record in the Eastern time zone, only three prior playoff wins in team history and according to Vegas a 10-point underdog. All that didn't matter when it came down to it, the Cardinals ran away with a 33-13 stunner and are one game away from a birth in the Superbowl.
Kurt Warner's performance seemed reminiscent of 1999, hooking up with Larry Fitzgerald like he was Issac Bruce. Fitzgerald finished with 166 and one touchdown.
The true story of the game was the performance by Warner's adversary, Jake Delhomme. He completed 17 of 34 passes for 205 yards and one touchdown, but the stat that jumps out at you is the five interceptions and 2 fumbles. Delhomme was just one interception short of the NFL playoff record, he became the first player to have five picks in the playoffs since Oakland’s Rich Gannon in the 2003 Super Bowl against Tampa Bay.
Delhomme's struggles started when Antonio Smith stripped and recovered the ball on Carolina's 13 late in the first quarter. That led to Edgerrin James running in 4-yard touchdown giving the Cards a 14-7 lead.
On Carolina's next possession, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie picked off Delhomme on the goal line.
Then again mid-way through the second quarter Gerald Hayes picked off Delhomme. Warner turned that interception into another touchdown, hooking up with Larry Fitzgerald for a 27-7 halftime shellacking.
The Cards will host the Eagles next week in a battle of the birds to see who gets to flock to the Superbowl.
