Shock: How tense the race became in the closing stages. Once Nico Rosberg had jumped Max Verstappen midway through, it looked as though it would be a routine one-two for Mercedes. But Lewis Hamilton wasnt going to give up that easily and started to back his teammate into the chasing Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel in the closing stages. Knowing overtaking is tough in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton could afford to reduce his pace by over a second as Vettel closed in, but ultimately it wasnt enough.Was it fair racing? No doubt everyone will have an opinion, but for Hamilton he did everything he could to win the title, and can leave Abu Dhabi satisfied he left no stone unturned in his pursuit of a fourth title. He didnt break any rules in the process, didnt do anything unsafe and didnt jeopardise the teams constructors or drivers titles (which were already secure). It was feisty -- making the race a lot more exciting than it could have been -- but isnt that what we want from Formula One drivers?Shocker: Jolyon Palmer locking up and taking Carlos Sainz out while battling for position at Turn 17. Both drivers were making the most of a bad weekend at the time, but Palmer can have no excuse for the mistake, which ultimately led to a gearbox problem and retirement for Sainz.Overtake of the race: Nico Rosbergs pass on Max Verstappen was gutsy and crucial to his championship victory. Yes, he was on fresher tyres, but had he not made that pass, he could have found himself stuck behind the Red Bull with Sebastian Vettel coming through fast at the end. He was told to make the move on the previous lap and then got the job done the next time round.Strategy of the race: Ferrari may have had a disappointing season, but it ended with a fighting flourish. Red Bull should have had the legs on Sebastian Vettel this weekend, but Ferrari sent him on a long middle stint that allowed him to attack in the final stint using super-soft tyres. He was also helped by Hamilton backing up the pack, but when he passed Verstappen, the Red Bull wasnt sniffing around Rosbergs gearbox. It was the teams first podium since its home race in Monza and it well-earned.Radio broadcast of the race: I suggest you let us race. Hamilton responds to repeated requests from the Mercedes pit wall to speed up and help Rosberg pull a gap over Vettel in third.Driver of the Day: Nico Rosberg is undoubtedly the man of the moment. Say what you like about Lewis Hamiltons reliability record this year, but Rosberg got the results he needed to secure the title and finished it with a measured drive under difficult conditions at the final race. Arguably, Sebastian Vettels drive from sixth to third was tactically more impressive and Hamiltons lateral thinking showed significant skill to balance his lap time against the rest of the field (regardless of how sporting it may have been), but given the obstacles and pressure in place on Sunday, Rosberg was the driver that impressed most.Nike MLB Jerseys For Sale .

The identity of their next opponent may make things look a whole lot brighter.The Kings will try to continue their mastery of the Edmonton Oilers when the Pacific Division rivals face off Thursday night in Los Angeles in the first of five meetings this season.Last season, the Kings outscored the Oilers 20-12 while completing the first season series sweep of at least five games in franchise history. Additionally, Los Angeles has won nine in a row at Staples Center over Edmonton by a 36-13 margin, and the Kings are 16-1-2 in the past 19 matchups overall.All that is great for a Kings team that needs some positive news. After kicking off a five-game road trip with a 7-0 rout of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Nov. 8, Los Angeles (7-9-1) has managed a total of five goals while losing four in a row, including a 4-1 setback to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.Though the Kings have played just 17 games, reigning Norris Trophy winner Drew Doughty said the team must have a different mindset.We need to play more desperate, he told the Los Angeles Times. When youre losing games, its not fun. ... Its not fun coming to the rink sometimes. Weve got to be more desperate and treat every single game as if its a playoff game or a division game and thats how were going to get back on track.Doughty had only three assists in five games versus the Oilers last season.

However the game is played, I think were equipped to play it, but individuals have to pick up their play.Not dealing with an early deficit would help, too. The Oilers (9-7-1) have dropped a season-high four straight, but more alarming is they have surrendered the opening goal in each of their last six. Edmonton has fallen behind in the first 1:57 in four of those contests and trailed within the opening 28 seconds in two.The Oilers are 4-6-1 when opponents score first.It becomes a mental thing, but theres two different types of play ... one where (youre) not prepared mentally at the start of games, then when the other team scores, you think and reflect on that and you lose the next five minutes, too, McLellan told the Edmonton Journal.Cam Talbot was 0-4-0 with a 3.56 goals-against average and a .893 save percentage against the Kings last season, and he has surrendered 24 goals in his past seven games overall, posting a 1-5-1 record.
