Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Chip Kelly is very sure of himself. So when the Eagles coach turns up the smug-meter and starts running a little pompous and egotistical, its just par for the course. That said, something caught my ear at Kellys season-ending press conference, a veiled shot at his general manager Howie Roseman. Kelly said Roseman was good at handling the salary cap, on the surface a compliment to anyone who doesnt understand the inner-workings of the Eagles. To those who do, however, it was a clear shot at Roseman, a glorified money man who has risen through the ranks of the organization and now fashions himself as a football guy despite no prior experience as a player, coach or scout. For me to stand there and say, I think paragraph five of his contract should mean this, instead of this. Thats not my forte, not my strength, Kelly said when queried about his relationship with Roseman. Im not going to delve into that and say, I think his signing bonus should be this, but lets retroactive that and only make it for injury in the third and fourth year. Thats not my strength. I understand it, but thats really what (Roseman) does an outstanding job of that. I think since Ive been here one of the attractive things about this job, there are not cap issues. You dont look at it and go, Oh, my God. Were going to have to cut 12 players because were going to be $40 million over the cap. (Roseman) does an outstanding job of that. Thats his training. To anyone who knows Roseman and what makes him tick, thats as passive aggressive as it gets. Kelly further aggravated his insecure GM when he called now-ousted vice president of player personnel Tom Gamble an outstanding football man. Two different sources who know Roseman well said he was seething after Kellys statements, which marginalized him in the personnel aspect of the business. Kelly is a lot like Jim Harbaugh, though. Its football 24-7 for Chip and the ex-49ers coach and both underestimated the political savvy of their respective general managers. Harbaugh is now at the University of Michigan because of his miscalculations with Trent Baalke and this dust-up in Philadelphia could signal the beginning of the end for Kelly with the Eagles. Roseman is a shark that probably missed his calling in life, a take-no- prisoners operative in the mold of Rahm Emanuel. At 39, hes the youngest GM in football but dont let his boyish looks fool you, the list of executives who have lost power struggles with him is stunning: Joe Banner, Tom Heckert, Jason Licht, Ryan Grigson, Louis Riddick, and now Gamble. When Kelly made his move, Roseman had his people quickly leak the fact that the New York Jets were looking to talk to him about their vacant general manager position, conveniently leaving out the fact that the Jets did indeed want to talk to Roseman but it was about Eagles pro personnel director Rick Meuller. That little nugget certainly got to Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie, who already considered Roseman his indispensable right-hand man on the football side of things, something that could have been validated by the feigned Jets interest. Gamble, meanwhile, was Kellys most trusted advisor on the football side, a man with nearly 30 years of NFL experience who paid the price for the coachs insolence by being fired on New Years Eve. Described as a mutual parting of the ways, Gamble was actually escorted from the NovaCare complex by security, a high-profile pawn in a game of inside baseball between Roseman and Kelly. A game which Roseman won. It was Gamble who had Kellys ear when it came to talent and the coach was given final say on the 53-man roster when he was hired in 2013, meaning Gamble had more say over who was playing for the Eagles this season than Roseman. And that wasnt about to change because Kelly has little respect for Roseman when it comes to player evaluation. Others have speculated that Roseman was also concerned that Kelly was so popular in the city that he could eventually flex his muscles to oust him and elevate Gamble to GM. A December swoon and a poorly perceived 2014 draft hurt Kellys reputation a bit and Roseman pounced, using that, along with the coachs own hubris, to fortify a power base that will only grow from here.

The 27-year-old showed on Wednesday he may just be the solution. Scrivens stopped all 59 shots he faced to backstop the Oilers to a 3-0 win over the San Jose Sharks. The win matched Edmontons season-high three-game winning streak. "Hats off to the goaltender, he was tremendous," said San Jose coach Todd McLellan. "Probably first, second and third star. If he wasnt he deserved it. Heck of a performance. In all my years in the league I dont think Ive seen that. We attempted 100 shots on goal, that doesnt happen very often." The 59-save shutout is an NHL record. The 59 shots tied the mark for the most ever given up by Edmonton and Scrivens 59 saves were a team record. Previously Edmonton gave up 59 shots to the New York Rangers in 1993, winning that game 4-3. The Oilers were outshot 20-7, 22-9 and 17-11 by periods as the Sharks, 7-3-0 in their previous 10 games, dominated play, territorially and by shots. But they couldnt beat Scrivens, who made his fourth start for the Oilers and won his second game. He went into the game with an 8-7-4 record, a 2.03 goals-against average and .930 save percentage. He improved all three of those marks Wednesday. "I was seeing the puck well," he said afterwards. "We got extremely lucky with a couple of posts in the second. "I had an awful, awful warm-up, it was an inauspicious start to it," he added. "Its one of those things where you try not to look at the forest while youre in the trees. You try to focus on the process and give yourself a chance to make that save and when the puck drops again, you try to focus on the next one and dont try to get too far ahead of yourself." Other than Scrivens the team effort was spotty at best. "Thats how I thought our skaters were playing the game; they were watching Ben play," said Oilers coach Dallas Eakins who wasnt particularly happy despite the win.dddddddddddd "It was an incredible thing to watch, Ive never seen that before. Im so happy for Ben and proud of him and then youre mad at the same time." The Oilers capitalized on San Jose mistakes to get the win they didnt really deserve. Defenceman Justin Schultz in the first period and Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle in the third scored the Edmonton goals. Schultz scored on a shot from the blue line that defected off a San Jose player in front of goaltender Antti Niemi. Hall buried a shot just under the crossbar to finish off a two-on-one break with Eberle six minutes into the third and he assisted on Eberles goal in the final two minutes. The story was all Scrivens, who got a well-deserved standing ovation late in the second period and several more in the third. While the Sharks rattled two shots off the goalpost in the second period, Scrivens had them shaking their heads with some of his spectacular saves. Among his best were point-blank stops off Patrick Marleau, Jason Demers twice, Bracken Kearns, Brent Burns and Tommy Wingels. "Usually when you put 20 shots on goal in the first period you get one goal," said Wingels. "So at that point we knew we would have to keep going. We were saying get 20 more shots, get 20 more shots and you think thats a recipe for success. Unfortunately tonight it wasnt." Hall said the Oilers skaters could sense towards the end of the first period that they were watching something special. "Obviously you dont want to give up 59 shots, but sometimes a goalie has to stand on his head and that has to be one of the best performances by a goalie, I have ever seen." The loss was San Joses first to Edmonton this year after winning 3-1 and 5-1 in their previous two games.
