LOS ANGELES, Calif. Marvin Plattenhardt Jersey . - The Los Angeles Kings gathered at centre ice while the Stanley Cup was lowered from the scoreboard, and they watched their championship banner raised to the rafters in a stirring pregame ceremony.Those good feelings were largely gone by the time the Kings stumbled back to their dressing room after a blowout loss to the San Jose Sharks, who seized the chance to erase a bit of last seasons bad memories.Tommy Wingels scored two goals, Antti Niemi made 34 saves in his 28th career shutout, and the Sharks crashed the Kings Stanley Cup banner celebration with a 4-0 victory in the season opener Wednesday night.The pregame celebration was the only thing that went according to plan for the Kings, who commemorated their 26-game playoff run to their second title in three years. After the standing ovations and celebrations, San Jose largely dominated the Kings in the first two periods with superior puck possession and movement.Thats just an excuse, Kings captain Dustin Brown said. Weve been there before. ... There are worse problems to have, so its one of those things that goes with the territory. That wasnt why we were sloppy. We were sloppy because we didnt prepare properly.Los Angeles started its playoff charge with a seven-game, first-round victory over the Sharks, who went through an off-season of rigorous self-evaluation. San Jose stripped the captaincy from Joe Thornton and parted ways with defencemen Dan Boyle and Brad Stuart.Yet little else changed about the perennial playoff team, and the Sharks returned in their usual regular-season form.Its been a long summer, thinking about this game, Wingels said. When the schedule came out and we saw that this was our first game, the media loved it, the fans loved it, and we as players loved it, too. Theres not a better way for us to start the season, and for us to be able to come in here and have this kind of success, its a big win.Patrick Marleau had a goal and an assist. Wingels and Matt Nieto scored 14 seconds apart in a three-goal second period that sent the Sharks to their NHL-best fifth straight season-opening victory.Niemi withstood a two-man advantage for the Kings in the final 1:07 of the third period.Losing the way we lost to them, we waited a long time for today, Niemi said. I think weve gained a little bit (of ground) on them (in the off-season). Were more hungry and we really want to do the details right this time.The home team had won 20 of the last 22 games in this rivalry before this one-sided win by the Sharks, who were an interesting choice of opponent for the Kings celebration night. San Jose had a 3-0 series lead in the first round before the Kings stormed back to win the series in seven games, becoming the fourth NHL team to rally from such a deficit.The Sharks stayed in their dressing room while the Kings celebrated their second championship with an on-ice ceremony starring the Stanley Cup, which was lowered from the scoreboard in a glass case.Former Kings Marcel Dionne and Rogie Vachon then brought out the new banner, and the Kings raised it amid a lengthy standing ovation.The Kings then lost on their banner night for the second time. Chicago beat Los Angeles 5-2 in January 2013.I thought the mood in the room was good, but it didnt translate once the game started, Kings defenceman Alec Martinez said. You cant come out like that against a hockey club of this calibre.Jonathan Quick stopped 23 shots for the Kings, but was replaced by Martin Jones in the third period.Wingels put the Sharks ahead with a sharp-angled shot in the first period. Marleau then redirected Brent Burns shot during a power play early in the second, and Wingels scored again on a breakaway moments before Marleau caught Quick dawdling behind his net and got the puck to Nieto.NOTES: D Brayden McNabb made his Kings debut in place of injured Jake Muzzin. Los Angeles acquired McNabb in March from Buffalo, where he played 37 games over two seasons. He beat out Jeff Schultz for a roster spot in training camp. ... Sharks D Mirco Mueller looked good in his NHL debut after making the roster in training camp. The 19-year-old Swiss prospect was San Joses first-round pick in 2013. ...

Eller said the Oilers were a "junior team" that was "all over the place" before Edmontons 4-3 victory over Montreal on Tuesday night, Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins took offence to Ellers comments and used it to motivate his youthful team.Roy Keane is the ideal man to succeed Ronny Deila at Celtic, according to Soccer Saturday pundit Charlie Nicholas. On Wednesday, Deila confirmed he would end his two-year association with the Hoops next month, despite the club being on course to secure the Scottish Premiership title for the second time during his reign. The Norwegian, who was appointed as Neil Lennons successor in June 2014, had refused to comment on his future in the immediate aftermath of Celtics Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers at Hampden Park on Sunday. Deila to leave Celtic Celtic have confirmed manager Ronny Deila will leave the club at the end of the season Charlie Nicholas wants to see Roy Keane take over at Celtic. Deila has come under fire from certain sections of the Celtic support this season, with the clubs failures in European competition a particular reason for their disharmony.Keane, currently the No 2 to Republic of Ireland manager Martin ONeill, has not held a full managerial position since leaving Ipswich Town in 2011, but Nicholas believes the former Manchester United midfielder would bring a different energy to Celtic if appointed as the clubs new manager. Former Celtic player John Hartson isnt surprised that Ronny Deila will leave the club this summer I would like Roy Keane to get it because I think he would sort a lot of people out, Nicholas told Sky Sports Now. He would clear the decks. I am not saying hee would be the greatest tactician, but I think he would bring a different drive and a different energy to the club. Timo Werner Germany Jersey. Lennon keen to speak to Celtic Celtic have confirmed that manager Ronny Deila will leave the club at the end of the season He would be the type Id be looking at to take on people, give him the responsibility and let him get on with it. He would be my ideal choice, I think there are others out there, but I am not convinced the owner or chief executive will step aside and say this is the way it has got to be because theres an issue with the clubs budget. Nicholas fears Celtic could fail to win the Scottish Premiership title this season Nicholas also questioned the timing of Deilas announcement and fears the uncertainty over the appointment of his successor could derail Celtics push towards a fifth successive league title. Celtic are eight points clear of second-placed Aberdeen with five matches remaining. I think the timing is awful, Nicholas added. I think to say it is more about the club than him, that will backfire on him today, I think it is about him because he is the one that has made the statement. This is like Manuel Pellegrini when he announced he was leaving. I said at the time theres a certain aspect of what you keep in house. Celtic are going for the title and Ronny has suffered along with the board and the people who run the club who are not doing their job right at the minute. Celtic manager Ronny Deila will step down at the end of the season It is a club that has gone stale. For Ronny to announce this now, it will not please a lot of people, they expected it, but you keep it in house. You get the title wrapped up, then the business is done and you say well done, congratulations and good luck in the future. But if they were to slip up this weekend and Aberdeen catch them, it would be an absolute mess, complete mayhem. It will still be about Ronny Deila because he is the story today.
