PULLMAN, Wash. -- Leaders of Washington State University met Thursday with Pullmans police chief to discuss recent incidents involving Cougar football players, with both sides saying the meeting was productive.Washington State President Kirk Schulz and Director of Athletics Bill Moos met with Chief Gary Jenkins in Schulzs office.The meeting came two days after football Coach Mike Leach suggested his players were being unfairly targeted by law enforcement.On Monday, police arrested one Washington State player on suspicion of assault, and recommended that assault charges be filed against another player in a separate incident.Police are also investigating a large fight earlier in the summer allegedly involving multiple unnamed football players and students.Moos said it was a chance for the three leaders to discuss the recent incidents and gain a better understanding of processes and procedures.We certainly respect the task facing law enforcement and throughout my tenure as athletic director, have made every effort to fully cooperate with local authorities, Moos said. I am encouraged as we move forward that we will continue to have an open line of communication and allow the full legal process to play out to ensure fairness is given to all involved.Leach complained Tuesday night about three recent incidents that led to assault investigations by police. He said hes concerned the only people being accused of crimes in the incidents are football players.Jenkins denied Wednesday that his officers are picking on players, saying they treat everyone the same.Jenkins said Thursday that the meeting went well. I would describe our relationship beforehand as very good, and I dont see any change in that, he said.The parties discussed how police investigate cases and why some investigations take longer than others, Jenkins said.On Tuesday night, Leach read a prepared statement after practice in which he contended that police seemed to be focusing on his players. Comments to the media have distorted the facts and already condemned football players in the court of public opinion, he said.Many of the statements are incomplete or totally false, Leach said. Im going to do what I should have done in the first place, which is presume them innocent until proven guilty.Washington State students and staff dominate Pullman, a town of about 30,000 people. Students make up two-thirds of the population, Jenkins said.Leachs team has struggled this season, losing to Eastern Washington and Boise State in the first two games. On Monday, Leach lashed out at his players for not being tough enough. Pirates Jerseys China .

PITTSBURGH -- Bryan Rust darted in on Tuukka Rask, saw a fluttering puck coming his way and flicked at it. Like just about everything else thats going on with the streaking Pittsburgh Penguins at the moment, it went exactly where Rust wanted it to go.The speedy forwards well-timed swipe sailed over Rasks blocker and into the net 1:24 into overtime Wednesday night to give the Penguins a 4-3 victory and extend their winning streak to seven.The ice wasnt great in overtime, obviously, after playing a whole game, so I was just trying to catch Rask offguard and I was lucky enough to do that, Rust said after picking up his eighth goal of the season. Trying to get it up. It just happened to be kind a little bit lucky.And pretty good too. Conor Sheary, Nick Bonino and Justin Schultz also scored for Pittsburgh. Matt Murray stopped 41 of the 44 shots he faced to improve to 10-0-1 in his last 11 home starts and even picked up an assist for the second time in four games.Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh improved to 20-7-3 to take the overall NHL lead with 43 points after beating Boston for just the second time in their last nine meetings.I thought we certainly found a way to win, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. It wasnt the cleanest game in the world from our standpoint. Weve been better as of late but I give Boston credit, theyre hard to play against.David Pastrnak picked up his 19th goal for the Bruins. Brad Marchand and David Krejci also scored for Boston. Rask played spectacularly at times and finished with 33 saves, including a breakaway attempt by Sheary with 54 seconds left in regulation that assured the Bruins of at least a point.It was a good point today, Rask said. We played pretty good against a good team. We respect their offense. They have great talent there. Theyre a talented group, especially offensively. We created some chances, but then again, obviously theyre going to get some chances too.The Penguins remained perfect in December (7-0) and have outscored opponents 40-19 during their current run. Yet for all their considerable firepower hhave drawn praise for Sullivan for their play in front of Murray.dddddddddddd. The penalty kill, one of Pittsburghs few weaknesses, killed all four of penalties against the Bruins, including an extended 5-on-3 near the end of the first period.The power play improved to 7 of 14 over the last three games. On Wednesday it was the second line -- not the first one anchored by Sidney Crosby and Malkin -- that came through. Bonino ripped a wrist shot from the slot in the first period to tie it and Sheary made a pretty redirect on a shot by Brian Dumoulin to put Pittsburgh in front.We know we can score in bunches, and we get opportunities throughout the game, Sheary said. So I think we just stick to our game plan.The Bruins, however, have typically found a way to hold the Penguins in check and avoided their first regulation loss to Pittsburgh in more than three years when Pastsrnak pounced on a loose puck behind the Pittsburgh net then ducked around a sprawled Murray and fired it between Boninos legs to knot the game at 3 with 6:40 left in regulation.I didnt think we gave up a whole lot, Marchand said. They did get a couple power-play goals, but 5-on-5, they had a couple shifts where they were buzzing around, but you have to expect that from a team with that much talent. Other than that, though, we did have a good game.Game notes Crosby extended his points streak to nine games. Malkin has at least one point in 13 consecutive home games. ...
