MONZA, Italy -- Nico Rosberg picked up where he left off in Belgium by topping the opening practice session of the Italian Grand Prix, edging teammate Lewis Hamilton to the fastest time by 0.2s.Rosbergs 1:22.959, set on soft tyres, led the way in the opening session on Friday morning, and was over a second clear of the nearest Ferrari. Championship leader Hamilton was two tenths of a second behind in a scrappy session which saw him miss the Roggia chicane apex on three occasions.Both Mercedes drivers displayed ominous pace, initially going fastest on super-soft tyres before improving on their next run with soft tyres on the car. Raikkonen finished 1.088s off Rosberg and some 0.3s up on Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel. Ferrari has spent its three remaining engine development tokens ahead of this weekend but it is unlikely the team significantly stretched the new power unit in the opening hour and a half of the weekend.Sergio Perez finished fifth for Force India, continuing the encouraging form the team showed in Belgium. Haas driver Romain Grosjean also benefitted from a new Ferrari engine and was sixth, albeit with a time set on super-softs, ahead of Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen. Esteban Gutierrez finished in ninth on the super-softs ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, although the other Red Bull driver completed only 17 laps and set his fastest time on the softs.Jenson Button finished 11th for McLaren ahead of Mexican driver Alfonso Celis, competing in one of his stand-in FP1 appearances in Nico Hulkenbergs place. Fernando Alonso finished 13th for McLaren using the soft-compound prototype tyre before a suspected engine issue brought an early end to his session. Felipe Massa also had a power unit problem during the session, but Williams was able to rectify it to send him back out to set the 14th fastest time.Marucs Ericsson finished ahead of Toro Rosso pair Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat in 15th. Esteban Ocon finished in 18th, an impressive four tenths up on teammate Pascal Wehrlein, though FP1 is a rarely a good time to compare driver times. Felipe Nasr split the Manor drivers in 19th, while Renault pair Jolyon Palmer and Kevin Magnussen claimed the bottom two places in the Renaults.Mattia Perin Juventus Jersey . The move comes after the Canadiens were approached by the Buffalo Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley - a former Sabres player and head coach.

Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. http://www.juventusfcpro.com/Kids-Blank-Jersey/ .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. Joao Cancelo Jersey . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making. Gianluigi Buffon Juventus Jersey . Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.DENVER -- Instead of 300 yards receiving from Julio Jones, the Atlanta Falcons got 3 1/2 sacks from Vic Beasley Jr.Maybe this defense really can play.Already an offensive juggernaut, the Falcons turned up the defensive pressure and made life miserable for rookie Paxton Lynch in a 23-16 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.Beasley led the punishment of Lynch, who was making his first start as he filled in for a banged-up Trevor Siemian . Lynch was sacked six times and looked every bit like the rookie he is for the Broncos (4-1).It may be the start of something good for a maligned Falcons defense.This is like a machine and you have to have all the parts of the engine working together, defensive end Dwight Freeney said. When you have that, you can have the success like were having.The road wont get any easier for the Falcons (4-1) as they stay out west to go against Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks next weekend.For Denver, its quickly back to the drawing board in a short week. The team travels to San Diego on Thursday. Siemian and his sprained left shoulder could be back in time for that game.We didnt want to expose (Siemian) today, explained Broncos coach Gary Kubiak, who was taken to the hospital following the game as a precaution with flu-like symptoms. They came into our place, played with a lot of poise and made a lot of big plays.But none of them came from Jones. He had 300 yards receiving in a win over Carolina last weekend, but was held to two catches for 29 yards.They took me away and they were like, `All right, youre not going to beat us today, Jones said. Everybody else is going to step up. Weve got a lot of weapons.Like tailback Tevin Coleman, who had four catches for 132 yards and a TD. Or Devonta Freeman, whose 1-yard TD on fourth down during the opening drive set the tone for the rest of the game. Matt Ryan later converted a fourth-and-1 with a QB sneak that set up a field goal before halftime.Thats our mindset, to attack offensively, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. We just wanted to keep attacking.A few takeaways from the game:BRONCOS QBss: Lynch struggled in his first NFL start, and the Broncos only have three days to get Siemian healthy.dddddddddddd.Siemian sat out with a sore left shoulder, though Kubiak said he had been very close to being able to play against Atlanta. Instead, Lynch went 23 for 35 for 223 yards and took six sacks. It was a near opposite of his relief appearance last week against the Bucs , when he threw for 170 yards and a score to help the Broncos pull away from Tampa Bay.If my number gets called again, Im going to make sure Im ready to go out there and play, Lynch said. But if my number isnt called, Ill make sure Im ready to play if I have to go in the game.BY AIR OR LAND: Jones took a backseat to Atlantas tandem of tailbacks. Freeman rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries and caught three passes for 35 yards. Coleman caught four passes for 132 yards and a touchdown and added 31 yards on six carries.I thought the running backs really stole the show today, being a factor both in the run game and the pass game, Quinn said.FAST START, THEN WHAT?: The good start is nothing new for the Falcons. But now what?Atlanta won its first five games last season, but only won three games the rest of the way. This year, the Falcons are 4-1 through five games and Quinn is convinced the season wont play out like 2015.We are mentally tougher than what we were, Quinn said.RESHUFFLED LINE: With right tackle Ty Sambrailo struggling to keep Beasley contained, the Broncos juggled around their line. They shifted Michael Schofield from guard to tackle and inserted Darrion Weems at guard. Sambrailo watched from the bench.NEAR PICKS: Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. both had interceptions in their hands, but couldnt hang on.Those are plays we expect to make all the time, Harris said. We just didnt make them today.---AP National Writer Eddie Pells and AP Football Writer Arnie Stapleton contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
