SUNRISE, Fla. -- Mike Cammalleri seems to be in the middle of most of the Calgary Flames victories lately. Cammalleri scored the tiebreaking goal in the second period and the Flames beat the Florida Panthers 2-1 Friday night. Cammalleri has scored the game winning goal in six of the Flames last seven victories. Cammalleri broke a 1-1 tie at 6:09 of the second. Jiri Hudler brought the puck from behind the net and passed across to Cammalleri in front. His wrist shot that found the net for his team-leading 26th goal and 500th NHL point. "Its special to reach certain benchmarks like that," Cammalleri said. "Whenever something like that happens, it gives you a second to reflect and appreciate what we get to do and all the people that have helped you. But I?think my best hockey is ahead of me, so I look forward to many more." Kenny Agostino also scored for Calgary and Joey MacDonald stopped 34 shots. Vincent Trocheck scored for the Panthers, and Roberto Luongo made 15 saves. Luongo started his first game since March 27th against Carolina when he left after the first period following a collision with the Hurricanes Radek Dvorak. Luongo sustained a mild concussion and missed three games. "A win would have been nice but I thought the effort was there, the boys played really hard, we carried the play most of the night. Youve got to give their goalie credit, he played well and made some big saves," Luongo said. "We just couldnt get that equalizer." The Flames won their second straight and fifth in their last eight. They picked up their pace in the second period, then withstood a 17-shot barrage by Florida in the period. "We promised our fans and we even promised ourselves that we would play the games to win until the final second of the regular season, and I just felt in the first period we were going through the motions," Flames coach Bob Hartley said. "Thats not the identity, thats not the culture that we want to create. So I?just thought that it was unacceptable and I?politely let them know." The Panthers have lost five straight and eight of nine. All of the scoring took place in about 4 1/2 minutes of the second period. Calgary took just six shots in the period but scored twice. The Flames took a 1-0 lead on Agostinos wrist shot from the left circle that got past Luongo at 1:34. It was Agostinos first NHL goal, and came in his fifth game. He was acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh for Jarome Iginla on March 27. "It was kind of a broken play and the puck just came to me," Agostino said. "Unforgettable feeling when it went in." The Panthers tied it less than a minute later on a power-play goal by Trocheck. MacDonald blocked a shot by Jimmy Hayes but the puck bounced out into the slot. Trocheck was there for the rebound and beat MacDonald on the stick side at 2:21 for his 4th goal since being recalled from AHL San Antonio on March 5th. "Hayes had a nice shot, low pad, the rebound just bounced out into the slot," Trocheck said. "Luckily I was right there and put it home."

Garber held a media conference call Wednesday to chastise Klinsmann for a comment earlier this week about Bradley, who left Roma for Toronto this season, and Seattle Sounders striker Clint Dempsey, who quit Tottenham for MLS. It’s going to be very difficult to keep the same level that they experienced at the places where they were, Klinsmann said Monday. Its just reality. Its just being honest. The U.S. coach also said Bradley, after a frustrating season in Toronto that seems destined to end before the playoffs begin, has to prove that he hasnt lost a bit. Garber said such comments were plain wrong, not to mention detrimental to the league and the athletes. And he tore a strip off Klinsmann for using such a public platform. Were dealing with young professional athletes, said Garber, who went on the offensive Wednesday. I dont know what possibly could have motivated Juergen to so publicly criticize Michael Bradley and ultimately Clint. It is concerning to me that it seems to be following a pattern that began with his criticism of Landon (Donovan). The 32-year-old Donovan, the career scoring leader for the national team and MLS, was cut by Klinsmann in May in advance of a fourth World Cup. I believe that Landon should have been in Brazil, not because he earned it or deserved it, but because his performance dictated it, Garber said. And if anybody disagrees with that, and some of you might — clearly Juergen does — then I believe that his treatment was inexcusable. And I have concerns that his criticism particularly of Michael is following that same pattern. Garber said Klinsmanns comments about MLS were incorrect and incredibly damaging to the league as well as at odds with what MLS and U.S. Soccer were trying to achieve together. Klinsmann is also technical director of U.S. Soccer. For him to publicly state issues that he has with Major League Soccer, in my view is not something that is going to allow him to effectively serve the role as not just coach but as technical director, Garber said. I am in no way saying what Sunil (Gulati, president of the U.S. Soccer Federation) should be doing with Juergen as it relates with his employment. That is between Sunil and Juergen. I think hes done a great job with the national team. I think he needs to think very, very hard about how he manages himself publicly andd how he deals with his view as to how he should motivate players that are playing in our league.dddddddddddd. Ten members of the U.S. World Cup squad this summer play in MLS, with another five having started in the North American league, the commissioner noted. Sending a negative message to any player, and obviously to U.S. players, that signing with Major League Soccer is not going to be good for their career or good for their form is incredibly detrimental to Major League Soccer, said Garber. He pointed to Seattle defender DeAndre Yedlins upcoming move to Spurs as proof that playing in the North American league does not negatively impact form. Garber said MLS franchises in both the U.S. and Canada were developing homegrown talent for their national teams. As such, Garber said having the U.S. coach not on board is frustrating as hell. Klinsmann, a former star striker who coached Germany, called Bradleys decision to leave Roma, which is playing Champions League football, for Toronto a huge disappointment. Bradley, speaking to ESPN FC, disagreed with Klinsmann that players need to be in Europes elite leagues. You can be in a fantastic environment but if you dont put everything into it and think youve already made it or that theres no need for extra work, you have no chance, Bradley said prior to the U.S. game against Honduras on Tuesday in Boca Raton, Fla. On the flip side, you can be in what some would call a less-than-ideal environment, but if your hunger and determination and drive push you to walk on the field every day ready to do everything possible to compete, help the guys around you and be a better leader, youll improve. Garber said Bradley, who has won 91 caps for the U.S., would not have come back to MLS if he did not believe that it was in is competitive best interest to do so. And I could assure you that Clint Dempsey feels that way. And nobody was saying that Major League Soccer was unworthy when Clint scored two great goals including a game-changing goal against Ghana in the Word Cup. Garber said he had sent a very strongly worded letter to Gulati, adding some MLS board members had done the same unsolicited. He also said he had written to Klinsmann but had yet to speak to him. Garber declined to say whether Toronto and Seattle had complained to U.S. Soccer. Toronto FC did not immediately respond to a question about whether they had complained about Klinsmanns comments. Asked Tuesday about Klinsmanns comments, Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney shook his head.
