  1. Bellamy fined for attacking teammate

    LONDON (AP) - Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy faces a heavy fine and an uncertain future with the Reds after allegedly attacking teammate John Arne Riise after a night out.

    Bellamy will be fined around 80,000 pounds (C$181,695) for the incident, in which he allegedly hit Riise in the legs with a golf club, and could be sold this summer, British newspapers reported Monday.

    Bellamy allegedly attacked the Norwegian player early Friday at a resort in the Algarve region of Portugal, according to Sunday's News of the World newspaper, which said the argument stemmed from a karaoke competition.

    Liverpool had been on a weeklong training camp in Portugal to prepare for its Champions League match at defending champion FC Barcelona on Wednesday.

    Bellamy, who signed with Liverpool from Blackburn in June 2006, could be sold in the off-season. As a replacement, Liverpool has already reportedly agreed to a deal with Bayer Leverkusen to sign striker Andriy Voronin on a four-year contract.

    Bellamy has a history of losing his temper. While at Newcastle, the Wales international threw a chair at assistant manager John Carver in 2004 and was fined heavily by manager Graeme Souness for calling him a liar in 2005.

    In 2003, Bellamy was fined 750 pounds (C$1,700) by a court for being drunk and disorderly outside a Cardiff nightclub. In November, a Cardiff court cleared Bellamy of assaulting two women in a nightclub in a separate incident.

    Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez said Sunday he would take action against any players found to have caused trouble. Jermaine Pennant, Jerzy Dudek and Robbie Fowler also reportedly face club sanctions after being accused of being drunk and rowdy.

    Benitez said he met with his team Sunday morning "and made it absolutely clear to all of them the responsibilities that come with playing for this club and the way they are expected to conduct themselves both on and off the pitch."

  2. Sources tell TSN the Nashville Predators have agreed to trade Scottie Upshall, Ryan Parent, a first round pick and a third round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for Peter Forsberg.

    It is important to note that while the two teams may have agreed on the players involved, the deal is not official until it is approved by the league via a trade call involving both teams and NHL Central Registry. Sources say that call has not been completed, so it is premature to say that the deal has been finalized, only that it has been tentatively agreed to by both teams and it is expected.

  3. Actaully they played well and dominated most of the game. DiPietro stole the game (he was awesome)and earned part of his $65 million.

    The best part of the game was that there was only 3 penalties. The ref's actually let both teams play the game and it was fun to watch.

    TORONTO (CP) - Ottawa goalie Ray Emery will sit out the Senators' next three games.

    The NHL has suspended him for slashing Montreal Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre on Saturday night.

    Emery was assessed a minor penalty on the play, which occurred midway through the second period of Ottawa's 5-3 victory.

    He will be eligible to return Feb. 22 at Buffalo.

    Emery will forfeit nearly US$15,000 in salary, which goes to the players' emergency assistance fund.
