Aitor Karankas return to the Middlesbrough dugout resulted in a happy ending to a turbulent week as David Nugents stoppage-time header saw off fellow Sky Bet Championship promotion hopefuls Hull 1-0 at the Rverside Stadium. Having walked out last Friday following a stormy meeting with his players, and failing to smooth over the bust-up the following day, it looked like the former Real Madrid assistant managers days on Teesside were numbered.However, having watched the loss at struggling Charlton from afar, Karanka surprisingly returned to his role as head coach this week and on Friday oversaw a memorable late win as substitute Nugent saw off Steve Bruces men with a fine header right at the death. Mohamed Diame (right) and Middlesbroughs Adam Clayton battle for the ball Both sides came into this match looking to kick-start stuttering promotion tilts, which had seen Boro fall to three defeats in their last four outings and Hull winless over the same period.The Riverside encounter started energetically enough, but it tapered off with Cristhian Stuanis header and a Robert Snodgrass strike the best either team could muster.Hull started the second period brightly but the hosts weathered that storm and, just as the match was petering out, Nugent glanced home, sending the Riverside into raptures as Karanka and his staff jumped in celebration on the touchline. Grant Leadbitter (left) and Robert Snodgrass tussle It made for an exciting end to an otherwise forgettable match, ahead of which the Boro head coach used his programme notes to express his relief that everything has been made clear and that the club could move on.That message was echoed in an unusual pre-match announcement from the Spaniard that was met by a loud roar - noise that would have gone up several more notches had Andy Robertson not hacked a Stuani header off the line.Grant Leadbitter also tried his luck but this was far from one-way traffic, with Mo Diame and Snodgrass having Hulls best openings until the 34th minute, when Snodgrass struck just wide at the end of a lovely, flowing team move. Aitor Karanka saw his side grab a vital win Diame was proving more effective than recent City matches and Boro fans wanted him sent off as half-time approached, having brought down Tomas Kalas shortly after being booked.Those appeals were rejected and he continued to threaten after the break, twisting and turning before a deflection saw the ball fall kindly for Dimi Konstantopoulos.Stewart Downing - whose summer return has reportedly led to tension between Karanka and chairman Steve Gibson - received a mixed reception when introduced in the 61st minute in a bid to stem an increasing Hull tide. Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka was left delighted with Middlesbrough’s narrow 1-0 win over Hull after a difficult week for the club. The former England international helped calm Boro down but was unable to help inject new attacking impetus, nor initially was Nugent in place of big-money acquisition Jordan Rhodes.The visitors made changes of their own in a bid to eke out a winner and the substitutes almost combined for the opener, with Abel Hernandez blocked and then Ahmed Elmohamady lashing over. Konstantopoulos also kept out a hopeful Robertson header.Hull captain Michael Dawson impressively blocked Nugent, but the substitute was not to be denied for long.As the match entered stoppage time, Albert Adomah swung in a cross that Nugent steered home to send the Riverside wild. Steve Bruce described Hull’s 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough as cruel and felt his side had to take the chances they missed. Air Max 270 Scontate .

Any time Im standing in front of so many people, not as a hockey player, but as a person, its definitely much more difficult.The player nicknamed The Dominator is getting accustomed to public speaking three years into his retirement.After having his No. 9 retired in his Czech Republic hometown of Pardubice last year, followed by a Hockey Hall of Fame induction in November, Hasek was back in Buffalo to take part in his latest honour.The Sabres paid tribute to their star goalie by retiring his No. 39 in a banner-raising ceremony before their home game against the Detroit Red Wings.Hasek played for both teams, and won Stanley Cups with Detroit in 2002 and 2008.Buffalo, however, holds a special spot in his heart. It was during a nine-season stint with the Sabres when Hasek established his reputation as one of the NHLs best, and revolutionized the art of goaltending with an unorthodox flopping style.I dont think Ill ever get tired of hearing the sound of Sabres fans cheering, Hasek said in opening a 4-1/2 minute speech from a podium at centre ice. Sabres fans are one of a kind and having your support means as much to me as any trophy that I have won.One fan yelled out: We love you! Another yelled: We need you back!The banner hung above the Sabres zone, and will eventually join the six others honouring team greats in the northwest end of the arena. The Sabres also honoured Hasek by having his number painted behind both nets.Before the ceremony, Hasek reminisced about his career and playing days in Buffalo.One of his fondest memories was in 1998, after leading the Czech Republic to the gold medal at the Nagano Winter Games. Returning to Buffalo, Hasek was amazed at being greeted at the airport by thousands of cheering Sabres fans.It was somethiing that I will never forget, he said.dddddddddddd And thats why I feel like a big part of Buffalo.Hasek forced his trade to Detroit in July 2001 because he wanted a shot to win a championship at a time when the Sabres were entering a rebuilding stage.Hasek began his career in Chicago, before being traded to Buffalo in August 1992. He also spent the 2005-06 season with Ottawa. After winning his second Stanley Cup with the Red Wings, Hasek spent two seasons playing professionally in Europe before formally announcing his retirement in 2012.He was a two-time NHL MVP, six-time Vezina Trophy-winner and six-time all-star. Statistically, Hasek ranks first on the NHL career list with a 92.2 save percentage, is sixth with 81 shutouts, seventh with a 2.2 goals-against average and 12th with 389 wins.He was one of the greatest players to ever play the game, said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, who coached Hasek in Detroit. He gave Buffalo an opportunity to win every night. He was an absolutely star, and did it his own way.Haseks competitive intensity set him apart. And that included practice, where Hasek hated giving up a goal.He never wanted to be scored on. It didnt matter if it was the pre-game skate or practice and obviously not in a game, Red Wings forward and former teammate Henrik Zetterberg said. For me, as a younger player coming in, to see the battle he put in practice helped me to go even harder.Haseks influence particularly resonated back home, where he inspired numerous Czech Republic youngsters to play goal. That includes Buffalos Michal Neuvirth and Detroits Petr Mrazek, who started Tuesday night.He was my idol. I always wanted to be like him, Neuvirth said.Hasek never envisioned the dominant stamp he would eventually place on the game.It was unclear. I wasnt confident, Hasek said, recalling his arrival in Buffalo. It took me a few years. But after a while, you feel more confident.He then paused, and broke into a smile.What can I say? Hasek added. What a great nine years I spent in Buffalo. ' ' '
