MARANELLO, Italy -- Ferraris technical director James Allison has left the team in what was described as a joint decision following a disappointing first half of the Formula One season during which Ferrari failed to win a race.Allison spent three years in his second stint with Ferrari. Team chief Maurizio Arrivabene thanked him on Wednesday for his commitment and sacrifice and wished him success and serenity for his future endeavors.Mattia Binotto takes over as chief technical officer, only days before Sundays German Grand Prix.Allison was at Ferrari as head of aerodynamics during the dominant Michael Schumacher era of 2000 to 2004, before moving back to the Renault team, where he was deputy technical director when Fernando Alonso won consecutive titles in 2005 and 2006.During the years I spent at Ferrari, at two different stages and covering different roles, I could get to know and appreciate the value of the team and of the people, women and men, which are part of it, Allison said in the Ferrari statement. I want to thank them all for the great professional and human experience we shared. I wish everybody a happy future with lots of success.The first car designed under Allisons supervision won three races in 2015, but Ferrari has not been able to challenge the dominant Mercedes cars this season. It is also coming under pressure from Red Bull.Sebastian Vettel, who won four championships with Red Bull, is lagging 82 points behind drivers standings leader Lewis Hamilton.Vettel said earlier in the season that the Ferrari has the speed to battle with Mercedes but that it is lacking in the aerodynamics department, an opinion seconded by teammate Kimi Raikkonen.After finishing fourth in Sundays Hungarian Grand Prix, which he won last year, Vettel said he did not think the gap between Mercedes and Ferrari was that great,We are not happy to finish fourth, because we have to win, we need to improve here and there, but I think the difference with Mercedes is not that big as it looks, Vettel said in Budapest.We are working very hard. We are moving in the right direction, he said.Buy Shoes Black Friday .ca! Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose.

Pierre LeBrun gives us his take on the biggest and best.Stars struck: Could this be a turning point for the Dallas Stars? The gutsy decision by coach Lindy Ruff to scratch top defenseman John Klingberg on Monday after the Swedish star was late for a team meeting seemed to send a message through the entire Stars lineup. They looked energized and on a mission in a 3-2 OT win against the visiting Minnesota Wild on Monday night, captain Jamie Benn wiring one top shelf for the winner, their first OT win this season. The Stars have been hit hard by injuries since Day 1 of camp but that doesnt excuse the poor play by healthy players, and Klingberg is among those who needs to be better. I suspect he will be, after he gets back in the lineup. But the message from Ruff was crystal clear: enough already. This is a team thats better than this. We might look back later in the season and point to Nov. 21 being a moment to remember for the Stars.Rangers rally: Talk about a statement game by the New York Rangers on Monday night. The Blueshirts fell behind 2-0 on a pair of goals from Pittsburgh Penguins rookie call-up Jake Guentzel (loved his familys reaction to Jakes first goal on his first NHL shot). But, in their second game in two nights, the Rangers stormed back with three second-period goals en route to a 5-2 win in front of backup goalie Antti Raanta, with New York playing on back-to-back nights. The guy at the heart of it all was captain Ryan McDonagh, who was an absolute beast at both ends, his presence hovering during the entire game. He had two assists and was plus-5. You knoow, I didnt think McDonagh had the best of seasons last year, but just like his team this season, he has come back and played some of the best hockey of his career.dddddddddddd Be excited if youre a Rangers fan. The Rangers and Penguins meet again Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.Crease conundrum for Calgary: Safe to bet well see Chad Johnson in goal for the Calgary Flames when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets in Columbus on Wednesday. Playing on back-to-back nights, I dont blame Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan for starting Brian Elliott in Buffalo on Monday night,?but the 4-2 loss wont help the former St. Louis Blues No. 1 find his way back into the good graces of his bench boss. The Flames, one of the leagues bigger disappointments, found a bit of mojo with Johnson in net last week, including Sundays win against the Detroit Red Wings. So, Id be shocked if Gulutzan didnt go back to Johnson as the Flames try to navigate their way through this six-game road trip and not find themselves in too deep a hole when they return home. Trading for Elliott in June was one of my favorite moves because I thought it was just what Calgary needed. Who knows, the season is still young for Elliott. But hes got three wins in 12 starts this season -- thats the bottom line. Makes you wonder if Calgary shouldnt have given in to Ben Bishops contract demands on an extension and instead made that trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning?at the draft. Easy to play armchair quarterback now, but it does make you think. ' ' '
