NEW YORK -- On the verge of winning the Stanley Cup, Drew Doughty remembers what it was like facing the same 3-0 hole the Rangers have now when the Kings faced the Sharks in the first round. What he recalled does not reflect kindly on the likes of Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle. "Once we won that first game of the San Jose series, we kind of had a feeling we were going to come back and win that series," Doughty said Wednesday several hours before Game 4 of the final. "And you could see it in their eyes and their team and their captains and leaders that they were worried about us coming back. So we dont want to give these guys any life." As much as Doughty was complimenting his team for putting fear into the Sharks, it certainly can be construed as a shot at a core group that will more than likely see some changes after yet another playoff disappointment. On Tuesday, coach Darryl Sutter pointed all the way back to Game 1 for the seeds of the Kings comeback against the Sharks. "We could see were not a team somebody says, go away, and we go away," Sutter said. "Were a team thats going to respond." Even when the Kings fell behind three games to none, Sutter thought it would all come together. "I saw that in period one of Game 3," he said. "We knew we were winning the series; it just took a little bit longer." The Rangers gave up a goal with 0.7 seconds left in the first period of Game 3 in the final and seemed to do little in the way of foreshadowing a similar comeback.

Borek Dockal gave the Czechs victory with a neat finish just before the hour mark.Latvia held Iceland goalless for more than an hour before Gylfi Sigurdsson opened the scoring in the 66th minute and Aron Gunnarsson and substitute Rurik Gislason completed the comfortable victory.The Dutch win took the Netherlands to third spot in Group A. Hiddinks team takes on Iceland on Monday in Reykjavik, Kazakhstan hosts the Czech Republic and Turkey travels to Latvia.In Amsterdam, HHiddinks decision early in the second half to bring on Huntelaar produced the breakthrough his team badly needed after going behind to what was almost Kazakhstans only effort of the match.ddddddddddddThe Schalke striker could have levelled only two minutes after coming on if Van Persie had passed to him unmarked in front of goal, but the Dutch captain instead flashed a shot across goal from a tight angle, prompting an angry response from Huntelaar.In that position, I had every right to shoot, so I thought the reaction was a bit over the top, Van Persie said.Huntelaar grabbed the equalizer anyway when he headed in an Afellay cross.Two minutes later, the match turned when Baurzhan Dzholchiyev was sent off for a tackle from behind on Afellay, depleting the defensive wall the Kazakhs had erected in front of their goal.It was like handball. You go from left to right, left to right. You have to find the holes, said Arjen Robben, who was a constant threat on the right flank in his first international since starring as the Dutch finished third at the World Cup.Afellay did just that with a speculative shot in the 82nd minute that took a deflection in the crowded penalty area on its way past goalkeeper Aleksandr Mokin.Van Persie, who had repeatedly threatened Mokins goal as the Dutch laid siege to the Kazakh goal, finally got on the score sheet thanks to an 89th-minute penalty.We can be satisfied, Hiddink said. In the first half we put them under pressure and it is an unwritten law that if you dont score then you will score in the last 20 minutes. ' ' '
