Ed Chamberlin looks ahead to the Grand National, The Masters at Augusta and the return of the Barclays Premier League. There are two major puzzles to solve next week in two of the sporting years great occasions: The Masters and the Grand National.The two Im going to war with in the Aintree spectacular are Ucello Conti and Gallant Oscar. Im becoming something of a Gordon Elliott disciple but in Ucello Conti the case is obvious after two fine efforts in the top Irish handicap chases, most recently in the Thyestes where Jacques Ricou took the horse via Calais. Hes been laid out for the race, as has Gallant Oscar for another of Irelands shrewdest handlers, Tony Martin. Again Gallant Oscar has some top handicap form to his name, notably at both the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals last season. Hes been bought along very quietly this term with one race in mind and really caught the eye at Naas earlier this month.Finding the winner of the modern day Grand National is virtually impossible and youll here tips for every horse over the next ten days but lets hope Gallant Oscar and Ucello Conti give us a decent run for our money.After the battering they took at the Cheltenham Festival, the bookmakers will desperately want a result in the National and plenty of surprises over the three days. Sky Bet have bravely priced up 14 of the Aintree races and with Willie Mullins lining up plenty of his big guns - Douvan, Vautour, Black Hercules, Annie Power et al - they could be right up against it again.With Augusta course and distance form working out well year after year, the layers may struggle to get a result in The Masters too. Ill be having my annual each-way stab on Matt Kuchar at 66/1 with Sky Bet, who are paying on the first five places. The medias focus will firmly be on the big three - Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy - which could play in to the hands of Adam Scott and he looks a great bet at 11/1.What a buzz England created against Germany on Saturday night. What a reality check they got versus the Netherlands on Tuesday. The teams true ability probably lies somewhere between the Berlin brilliance and the Wembley wobble.One thing is for sure: youd have taken this situation at the start of this season going in to Euro 2016. Leicester have shown few signs of feeling the pressure so far. They have won seven of their last nine games and lost just one of the last 13 matches since late December. Ed Chamberlin on the Premier League Back then it was fashionable to bemoan the lack of English talent but now we seem to have a wealth of prodigious, young, attacking players. Kane, Vardy, Alli, Welbeck, Sturridge, Barkley and co. could cause quite a stir this summer. Despite the hype from Saturdays brilliant comeback against Germany, expectations should remain low but it would be great to think Roy Hodgsons team will give it a real go in France.Those young stars take centre stage this weekend as the Premier League returns and the thrilling title race resumes. The top two are both live on Sky Sports with Tottenham (11/4 to win the title) at Anfield on Saturday Night Football then Leicester (8/15) part of the Super Sunday double header. Spurs must seize the chance playing first this weekend and crank up the pressure on the leaders. Beating Liverpool would send out a major message.Leicester have shown few signs of feeling the pressure so far. They have won seven of their last nine games and lost just one of the last 13 matches since late December. They have been magnificent. Their team spirit remains formidable and their performances on the international stage will give another surge of self belief to Vardy, Drinkwater and Kanté. The big difference to earlier in the season is that theyve tightened things up. Gone are the 4-3s and 3-2s. Leicester have won last three games 1-0. They might not be playing with the same flamboyance but theyve been really difficult to beat, especially at the King Power which will be absolutely jumping again on Sunday. Leicester are unbeaten in a club record 11 Premier League home games and have had six clean sheets in the last seven home games.Southampton will have their work cut out but will also be buoyant after their extraordinary comeback win against Liverpool two weeks ago, which must have been inspired by the Saints mascot that day - Sam Chamberlin!Southamptons season in many ways sums up the craziness of the Premier League. The Saints started well then had a horrible run of one win, thumping Arsenal, in 10 games as they went out of both Cups and all of a sudden they were nervously looking over their shoulders only seven points clear of the drop zone. A few weeks later and Southampton are only four points off the Champions League places. Madness.Whatever happens now, theyve had another brilliant season against all the odds and the focus this summer must be keeping key players and even more importantly persuading Ronald Koeman, who has done the most remarkable job, to extend his contract beyond next summer.After the game at the King Power, it promises to be a special day at Old Trafford as they rename the South Stand after the great Sir Bobby Charlton. Charlton joined Manchester United as an apprentice in 1953 and made his debut for the club 60 years ago. He went on to play for the club 758 times, scoring a club record 249 goals.Another landmark could be the 1,000th Premier League goal scored by Manchester United at Old Trafford. Man Utd have scored 999 PL goals at Old Trafford so far and will become the first team to score 1000 home goals if they score on Sunday. Their first Premier League goal at Old Trafford was scored by Denis Irwin in a 1-1 draw against Ipswich in August 1992 and since then there have been 81 different scorers at the Theatre of Dreams I absolutely love this time of year with the Premier League run-in and spring upon us with top events left right and centre. England reaching Sundays World T20 Final just adds to the mix. Adam Thielen Vikings Jersey . Price also posted the longest shutout sequence since 1960 at 164:19 minutes. He stopped a combined 55 shots in Canadas final two games and 70 of 71 shots in Canadas three elimination games, allowing only a breakaway goal to Lauris Darzins of Latvia. For his efforts, Price was named best goalkeeper by the tournament directorate. Prices outstanding play is marred only by the extremely strong defensive play of Canadas top six defencemen; Shea Weber, Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester.

Post time is 5:38 pm.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Andrew Cogliano already never leaves the Ducks lineup, and the speedy forwards new contract extension will keep him in Anaheim for four more years. Cogliano agreed to a $12 million extension through the 2017-18 season with the Ducks on Saturday. Cogliano is on pace for the best season of his NHL career with 13 goals, 12 assists and a plus-16 rating in 43 games, but the durable playmaker had no interest in testing the free agent market this summer at the risk of disrupting a good situation in Anaheim. "Im really happy it came together," Cogliano said in a phone interview. "Coming into this year, my goal was to play good enough to get an extension. There was never an idea I wanted to get into free agency and hit a home run." Usually playing on a line with fellow veterans Saku Koivu and Daniel Winnik, Cogliano has provided speed and secondary scoring for the Pacific Division leaders during their 30-8-5 start. Their line also gets the checking assignment against most opponents top scorers. "Its pretty obvious I have a great situation here," said Cogliano, who has scored four goals in the Ducks last five games. "I play on a line with two guys that complement me, two guys that are veteran guys, and if it wasnt for them, I dont know if Id be in this situation." The Ducks also know they can count on Cogliano: He has played in 501 straight games since the start of his NHL career with Edmonton in October 2007. Just five players in NHL history have played in 500 straight games to start their career, and Coglianoo is the first to do it since Doug Jarvis, who played from 1975-88.dddddddddddd. Cogliano has the NHLs third-longest active streak of consecutive games played behind St. Louis Jay Bouwmeester (676) and Vancouvers Henrik Sedin (671). The Ducks acquired Cogliano from the Oilers in July 2011 for a second-round draft pick, and he has acknowledged motivation from Edmontons decision to give up a former first-round selection. Cogliano has 74 points in 173 career games with Anaheim after scoring on a breakaway in the Ducks 5-2 win over the Oilers on Friday night. Cogliano, who is making $2.67 million this season, appears to be a good value for Anaheim at $3 million per season over the next four years, particularly now that his hands have begun to match his speed. Always known as a fleet-footed forward who lacked a world-class finishing touch, Cogliano is on pace for a 25-goal season while providing his usual help with forechecking and two-way play. "I think the number is fair," Cogliano said. "This season I think Ive made great steps, and the number is where it needs to be in terms of market value, and Im really happy it came together." The Ducks decisions on long-term contract extensions for their core players have worked out exceptionally well lately. Star forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry have been outstanding in the first seasons of two eight-year extensions worth a combined $135 million, while defenceman Cam Fowler has matured into a U.S. Olympic team member in the first season of his five-year, $20 million deal.
