Its been 25 years, almost to the day, since Penrith last beat Canberra in a rugby league finals match.But, according to coach Anthony Griffin, thats ancient history.Most of these blokes werent even born then, he smiled.The two sides go head-to-head on Saturday in the NRLs second semi-final at GIO Stadium, with the winner to play Melbourne next week for a spot in the grand final.The Raiders and Panthers met in back-to-back deciders in 1990 and 1991 - with the Green Machine claiming honours first up and the men in black getting their revenge a year later.But since then, Penrith have lost all three playoffs against Canberra - two of them in the nations capital.Its club history but thats never been a focus of ours, added Griffin.Our main focus has just been trying to build the team weve got at the moment and play for ourselves, but also our members and our fans.Its a massive year for our club being our 50th year and the players have got a real desire to recognise that with our performances so that the whole of our district - members, fans, people at Penrith - can be proud of their football team.Raiders coach Ricky Stuart played in that 91 grand final and hopes history doesnt repeat itself.I dont take too much out of it, but Id like to be able to say theres a different result, he said.Stuart has been a stickler for acknowledging the clubs past successes, inviting a swag of ex-players to games throughout the season.It was no different this week, with former utility Rowan Brennan speaking to the team in the sheds before training on Wednesday night.He was Raider No.26 and hes a great, passionate member of our club, Stuart said.Its nice to see the faces of our ex-players hanging around and still showing great interest in the club.Canberra have won just four of 15 finals matches played since 1998, and only two of its past 12.They are the only team to not reach a preliminary final in the NRL era.

Rashan Gary Jersey Large . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Custom Packers Jerseys . Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid are set to face each other for the first time and the NHL will take it outside in Winnipeg, Pittsburgh and St. Louis during the 2016-17 season.There are 1,230 regular-season games coming up. Here are a few to circle on the calendar:BANNER NIGHT, OCT. 13The Pittsburgh Penguins will raise their Stanley Cup champions banner, the fourth in franchise history, to the rafters at the newly-renamed PPG Paints Arena before facing the Washington Capitals in their season opener. The Penguins beat the rival Capitals in six games in the second round, so its a fresh scab for Washington, which is again a Cup favorite, too. Capitals right winger Justin Williams, a two-time champion with the Los Angeles Kings and the playoff MVP in 2014, is more worried about what happens after the banner goes up.Hopefully theyll be thinking about last year instead of this year and we can jump on them, Williams said.SID VS. MCDAVID, NOV. 8Forget about Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump. This is the Election Night matchup to watch. Although Crosby and McDavid will undoubtedly say the game is the Penguins against the Edmonton Oilers, the generational talents facing off for the first time is worth an extra spotlight on them as individual stars. McDavids broken collarbone robbed viewers of a matchup during his rookie season, so an early-season showdown in Pittsburgh will haave to do.ddddddddddddBLACK AND BLUE FRIDAY, NOV. 25The New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers renew their time-tested rivalry on national television the day after Thanksgiving. Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers and Claude Giroux and the Flyers could be duking it out for playoff position in the Metropolitan Division, and this will be an early test.WINTER CLASSIC, JAN. 2St. Louis gets its turn in the outdoor rotation as the Blues host the rival Chicago Blackhawks at Busch Stadium. Its the fifth outdoor game for the Blackhawks since 2009 and the Blues first.In the other outdoor games, the Winnipeg Jets host the Oilers in the Heritage Classic on Oct. 23, the Toronto Maple Leafs host the Detroit Red Wings in the Centennial Classic on Jan. 1 and the Penguins host the Flyers in the Stadium Series Feb. 25 at Heinz Field.SUBBANS RETURN, MARCH 2P.K. Subban has to wait until March to play his first game back in Montreal since a stunning June trade to the Nashville Predators. Former captain Shea Weber going back to Nashville on Jan. 3 is worth keeping an eye on, too, but Subban felt jilted by the deal and why it happened and could put on a show at Bell Centre against the Canadiens.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno.
