Malone philosophical after Rangers place him on waivers

If this is it in New York for Ryan Malone, and it probably is, then he exits with the same good grace with which he reported for duty in the first place.

The 34-year-old veteran, who got into an equal number of games (five) as those for which he was a healthy scratch as a Ranger, was philosophical about being placed on waivers on Sunday.

"Everything happens for a reason," Malone said, before breaking into a smile and a chuckle. "I'm not sure what that reason is, yet, but it always seems to work out in the end.

"It is what it is. I'll try and make the best of it."

The Blueshirts signed Malone to a no-risk two-way deal as a free agent ($700,000 NHL/$100,000 AHL) just before camp commenced after being bought out by the Lightning following a bad season and trouble with the law.

But the winger never was able to quite convince coach Alain Vigneault of his worth and could not carve a niche for himself in limited time. Hence, with the Blueshirts facing cap complications because of the injuries to Ryan McDonagh and Kevin Klein on Saturday and with Derek Stepan due to come off the long-term injured reserve list in a matter of days, Malone became superfluous.

"Obviously there's been a lot of crazy things happen here the last couple of days, so they've got to make room for some moves, and I'm obviously odd-man out, so it was kind of expected," said Malone, informed of the move by Vigneault before he went on for the optional practice. "All I can do is keep working hard and see what happens."

It's no sure thing Malone will clear at noon on Monday. An injury-decimated club such as the Blue Jackets could take a shot at him. The winger said he hasn't decided whether he will report to Hartford if he goes unclaimed.

"I haven't spoken to my agent yet," said Malone, who is represented by Octagon's Mike Liut. "We'll get through the day and see what happens."

Malone acknowledged some difficulty adjusting to the role of a fourth-liner who could sit for chunks of minutes at a time. It's not unique to him, of course. Older and bigger-bodied players generally need to be in a regular rotation in order to succeed. Malone got an average of 10:30 per game.

"Obviously it's a new position for myself where it's difficult but you're willing to do it late in your career where you want to be part of a winning team and help out where you can," said Malone, who has scored 179 goals in 646 career games. "I feel like I can still score goals, skate, fight if necessary…

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help a team."

Cam Talbot, whose only start came on Oct. 11 in Columbus in the second game of the season, will be in nets for Monday's Garden match against the Blues. Talbot lost to the Blue Jackets in a shaky performance, allowing four goals (with an empty-netter) in a 5-2 defeat.

"I looked at the October schedule [10 games in the first 23 days including Saturday's Nov. 1 match] and didn't think Hank [Lundqvist] would need much rest," Talbot said. "I'm not naïve.

"It will be big to get into a rhythm," said the netminder, whose team is in a stretch of 15 games in 29 days. "I always prepare and try to stay ready because you never know what will happen. I want to give us the best chance to win whenever I play."

Why ageless Kevin Garnett is off to such a quick start for Nets

Whenever Kevin Garnett has deigned to talk to the media since the start of training camp, the future Hall of Famer has had a consistent message for anyone willing to listen: This year will be different than last.

And, at least through two games, Garnett has backed up his words with his play on the court.

"My mindset changed June 1, when I got back to my regimen," Garnett said after Saturday's 102-90 win at Detroit. "I got back to what I know, I got back to what made me great over these years, I got back to who I am.

"I've been ready from Day 1 for camp. I didn't tell the world because you never know what tomorrow is, but I'm ready this year. I really want to say something else, but I'm not messing around. I'm here. I'm here."

Garnett made his presence felt against the Pistons, easily playing his best game in his season-plus as a Net. He might be beginning his 20th season in the NBA — becoming one of four players ever to do so — but Garnett looked like he was still in his prime against Detroit, finishing with 18 points and 14 rebounds in 35 minutes, setting a Nets career high in points and tying it in rebounds.

"He played great, man," Deron Williams said. "He played great. He gave us some big minutes … he probably played a little bit more than he wanted to, but we needed it."

When the Nets acquired Garnett, along with Paul Pierce, in a blockbuster deal with the Celtics on draft night in June 2013, they immediately began plotting out a plan to keep Garnett healthy and productive throughout the season so he would be ready for a long playoff run.

But Garnett never seemed comfortable with the plan then-coach Jason Kidd and the team worked out with him, which consisted of Garnett never playing more than around 20 minutes a night, and usually in no longer than six-minute stints.

Garnett finished with the lowest per-game point and rebound averages of his career, checking in with 6.5 points and 6.6 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per contest. And while everyone around the Nets knew Garnett would be coming back this season — he was owed $12 million guaranteed, after all, for the final year of his contract — there were plenty who doubted whether he would be able to contribute more than last season.

But during the offseason, people around the organization began saying Garnett, after taking much of the prior summer off, was in the gym with a renewed vigor, as Garnett himself was quick to say at media day and since then, and was out to prove he still had something left to give.

"Just coming in and rehabbing every day during the offseason, he was in there just as much as I was getting ready and getting prepared," said Brook Lopez, who is expected to make his season debut Monday against the Thunder, "so he would come in ready to go."

Garnett has done exactly that, and after Nets coach Lionel Hollins has said repeatedly Garnett would have a longer leash this season than he did last, he has proven that to be the case.

But the amount of minutes hasn't been the only difference for Garnett. Even his mentality at the offensive end has been different. Unlike last season, when he seemed to constantly turn down open opportunities to either shoot or attack the basket, he has looked for his shot, and looked much more confident in doing so.

"I think everybody, since Brook has been out, has been trying to take some responsibility in the offense," Garnett said. "I'm no different in that.

"I told you this would not be a repeat of last year, and I'm just trying to be assertive."

So far it's been anything but a repeat of last year, and if Garnett can continue at this kind of pace it will give the Nets a strong four-man rotation between him, Lopez, Mason Plumlee and Mirza Teletovic that will allow Hollins to successfully use the two big man scheme he prefers.

"I'm not satisfied," Garnett said. "I've got to continue to work, I've got to make it consistent or you guys are going to beat me up like always, but who cares?

"More importantly, me, I'm trying to stay consistent with what I know to be, and that takes work every day, and putting it in every day."

Terminally ill woman has ended her own life

Brittany Maynard, the beautiful young woman who pledged to end her life when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, is dead, according to a report.

The death was confirmed by Sean Crowley, of Compassion & Choices, an advocacy group which worked with her, according to USA Today.

The 29-year-old woman moved to Oregon to use the Death with Dignity Act after she was given the diagnoses of a brain tumor and given six months to live. She took her life as planned on Saturday, according to People magazine.

Maynard became a symbol of the right to die movement when she told the magazine earlier this month that she planned to take her own life on Nov. 1. She later had misgivings about the ordeal.

"If Nov. 2 comes along and I've passed, I hope my family is still proud of me and the choices I've made," she said in a video posted online. "If Nov. 2 comes along and I'm still alive, I know that we'll still be moving forward as a family out of love for each other, and that decision will come later."

Oregon's Death with Dignity Act was enacted in late 1997. As of the end of 2013, 1,173 people have received lethal prescriptions, according to The Oregonian.

It could be worse: Rangers expect McDonagh to miss ‘3-to-4 weeks’

So, here's the primer regarding the Rangers' personnel shuffle approaching Monday's match at the Garden against the Blues:

1. Ryan McDonagh, who suffered a separated left shoulder on an Evander Kane hit during the first period of Saturday's 1-0 shootout defeat to the Jets, is expected to be sidelined in, "the three-to-four week range," according to coach Alain Vigneault. The captain is on injured reserve but not (yet) on long-term injured reserve.

2. Kevin Klein, who suffered a left foot contusion blocking a shot on his first shift of the Winnipeg tilt, will be re-evaluated in three or four days after the swelling recedes, but has not (yet) been placed on IR.

3. Conor Allen and Dylan McIlrath, ninth and 10th in no particular order on the organizational blue line depth chart, will be the Blueshirts' fifth and sixth defensemen against St. Louis following their promotions from the AHL Wolf Pack.

4. Derek Stepan, who skated once again in a non-contact jersey during Sunday's optional practice, has been ruled out of the match against the Blues even as he is "day-to-day."

5. Ryan Malone, a healthy scratch in five of the first 10 games, has been placed on waivers, primarily to give the Blueshirts some cap flexibility, but partially because the veteran hasn't carved out a niche in Vigneault's order.

6. Dan Boyle, sidelined since opening night with a broken hand, skated lightly with a stick, but is likely at least a couple of more weeks from returning.

7. Cam Talbot will be in goal for his second start of the season, and first since absorbing a 5-2 defeat (with an empty-netter) in Columbus on Oct. 11 in the Blueshirts' second game.

Let's face it. The immediate news could have been worse regarding both McDonagh and Klein, even as it appears that the captain will miss somewhere around 15 games. How much worse?

If-surgery-were-needed-worse, that's how much worse it might have been regarding his second left shoulder injury within the last eight months.

Though the Blueshirts will be in a scramble mode for the foreseeable future, this window in which the club will play with just two of its top six defensemen (Dan Girardi and Marc Staal) because John Moore has four games remaining on the suspension he received for his mindless headshot against Erik Haula, does give the organization's decision-makers a good read on what they have (or don't have) in terms of legitimate replacement players.

And as the news at this time doesn't seem catastrophic as it relates to McDonagh, general manager Glen Sather shouldn't feel compelled to rush into a trade for a marginal, stop-gap defenseman that might cost a prospect whose name is spelled J-T-M-I-L-L-E-R.

(Actually, Sather never should feel compelled to rush into a trade for a marginal anything or anyone at the cost of a prospect whose name begins with a capital letter.)

The next two games are at home, the impressive Red Wings due to follow the Blues into the Garden on Wednesday, so that will allow Vigneault to manage his defensive pair matchups. That means a projected Allen-McIlrath pair (behind Girardi-Matt Hunwick and Staal-Mike Kostka) won't be on much at all against the opposition's top two lines or for defensive zone draws.

"It will be the same type of challenge we had [against Winnipeg]," a stoic yet reasonably upbeat Vigneault said. "A couple of our younger defensemen will get the opportunity to play a bigger role. I expect a full team effort. That's what we got [Saturday]."

It will of course be necessary for Hunwick and Kostka to continue the good work they displayed in getting 27:58 and 21:56, respectively in the shootout defeat. It will of course be important for Allen and McIlrath, veterans of three and two NHL games, respectively, to at least hold their own on their shifts so that it doesn't all fall on Saturday's Four Horsemen.

But it will be critical for Girardi and Staal to maintain the level of excellence they displayed against the Jets with big minutes and critical matchups coming their way, especially so for Staal, who had his best game of the year by far on Saturday and appears to be rising from the muck in which he'd been stuck for much of the season's first three weeks.

"Some people have said that he's been sort of a slow starter in the past. I've only been here for two years but right now, the last two games, this is the Marc Staal that I got used to when he's at the top of his game," said Vigneault. "Right now, with the personnel that we have, we need him to play at his best."

Which is what the Rangers need from top to bottom.

Anthony eclipses 20,000-point mark as Knicks hold off Hornets

Carmelo Anthony hit the 20,000 point milestone, the go-ahead basket with 1:23 left and the game-clinching rebound with .8 seconds left as the Knicks beat the Hornets 96-93 at the Garden.

The Knicks suffered no letdown from their shocking Cleveland upset in moving to 2-1, but nearly blew a 15-point second-quarter lead.

Anthony, who reached the milestone in the first quarter, entered the game three shy of the magic number and stands at 20,025, becoming the 10th active player to hit the mark.

"It's a great milestone to reach, I never thought I'd reach 20,000 points,'' Anthony said to the crowd during the postgame on-court interview. "I used to look at another guys who had it and say, 'Damn, that's a lot of points.' ''

Anthony finished 12-of-22 from the field and got a big hand from Iman Shumpert, who scored 15 points and added four assists.

With the Knicks down three points, Shumpert banged in a left-wing trey to tie the game and Anthony drained a 15-footer over Marvin Williams to put the Knicks ahead 95-93 with 1:23 left, and that's how it ended.

With a chance to seal it, the Knicks were flagged for a 24-second violation as their offense got too isolation-heavy and Anthony was double-teamed and couldn't fire.

That gave Charlotte the ball with 36.6 seconds left down two, but the Hornets were called for a questionable five-second violation as Williams inbounded at the same time referee Kevin Cutler counted to five.

The Knicks didn't take advantage as the set play was botched and Shumpert forced a jumper that bounced off the rim. The Hornets regained possession with 16.6 seconds left, but New York native Kemba Walker, forced a wild shot in the dying seconds after overdribbling. Anthony hauled in the rebound with .8 seconds left, got fouled and sank one of two free throws.

Without a timeout, a long pass was heaved to Lance Stephenson as time expired. Stephenson finished with 14 points and Walker 16 for Charlotte (1-2).

With 3:49 left, Anthony also aided the late-game hold, making a sensational spin move past Stephenson for a layup and 90-89 lead.

The Knicks shot 50 percent in the first quarter on the way to a 29-21 lead. They got up 15 midway through the second quarter after Shumpert drove past Gerald Henderson down the baseline for a stuff. Charlotte looked asleep for the first 18 minutes, playing the second night of a back-to-back.

Shumpert finished with 11 points by halftime, but the Hornets rallied late in the second quarter to close to 52-50 as center Al Jefferson racked up 12 points and Gary Neal hit for a dozen off the bench.

The Hornets lost Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for the night when he fell hard on the court late in the first quarter after battling for a rebound. Kidd-Gilchrist was scheduled to take a CT-scan.

The Hornets took an 80-79 lead after three quarters after the Knicks' defense relaxed and Brooklyn product Lance Stephenson went coast-to-coast for a buzzer-beating layup. In the opening minute of the fourth, Charlotte forward Cody Zeller inexplicably was allowed an easy lane to the basket for an uncontested driving dunk, eliciting a timeout by a disgusted Fisher.

Boston Marathon winner failed a doping test

Two-time reigning Boston and Chicago Marathon champion Rita Jeptoo failed a doping test, showing up positive for a banned substance from a late September sample weeks before her Oct. 12 win in Chicago.

The failed A sample test — Jeptoo's B sample hasn't yet been taken — was first reported by RunBlogRun. Even though the International Association of Athletics Federations and World Anti-Doping Agency haven't commented, it was confirmed by her agent and tacitly by the World Marathon Majors' cancelation of its Sunday press conference to bestow the Kenyan star with its award as the year's top marathoner.

"I'm still a little bit shocked about Rita,'' Jeptoo's coach, Claudio Berardelli, said. "[IAAF] asked me if I'd heard anything and I said, 'Not really.' That's what's shocking me. I'm there for the last 11 years, 11 months a year. I feel stupid.

"It's even for those that are clean. That's my main concern. I have a large number of athletes and I thinking of all those honest athletes that are going to be affected. … The entire Kenyan system will be affected, the credibility. Now people will say, 'Now we know. We know why the Kenyan runner can run fast.' But I know why they run fast. I know how they train, the motivation."

Jeptoo, who won her third Boston Marathon this year in a personal record and course-record 2:18:57, wasn't entered in Sunday's New York City Marathon. But she had already clinched the World Marathon Majors crown and the $500,000 prize — money she may never see now.

"We've put money into a [testing] program and this is part of the program. All we can do is help the federations test. We've taken really stern position, a really tough position on people who fail drug tests,'' said WMM general counsel Nick Bitel.

"Cheats need to understand that they are not welcome in our sport and that they will be caught."

Earlier this month, a report on doping in Kenya found the East African country had trouble with a host of athletes in various sports using banned substances.

"It's good, it shows testing is being carried out, more adequate testing. It has to be uniform. I'm not picking on Kenya here, but it has to be uniform wherever you are, Ethiopia or MoroccoWherever you are, it needs to be the same, U.S. or the U.K., the testing has to be the same, has to be uniform,'' said world recordholder and three-time New York champ Paula Radcliffe.

"The rumors for a long time [were] that the right testing hasn't been carried out in East Africa, lots of different areas. It's not good for them either, because there are a lot of athletes there working extremely hard and training extremely hard, and they want to prove they're clean as well.''

Russian Liliya Shobukhova — second-fastest in history behind Radcliffe — got a two-year doping ban in April and stripped of all her results since October 2009, but the WMM still hasn't managed to get back any money after she won back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011.

"In the past, the World Marathon Majors had been burned where they lost two [winners' purses],'' said Radcliffe. "At least this time it happened before the payouts.''

PBS has picked up a second season of "Vicious," the Britcom starring Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi as an old, bickering couple living together in a small London flat.

Season Two of the ITV comedy will premiere in the US next summer with six new episodes.

"Vicious" follows under-employed actor Freddie (McKellen) and his flamboyant boyfriend Stuart (Jacobi) as they get into mishaps with their best friend Violet (Frances de la Tour) and handsome (straight) younger neighbor Ash ("Game of Thrones' " Iwan Rheon) — while delivering plenty of snide comments and cruel asides at each partner's expense.

The multicamera sitcom —which premiered on PBS last June — was created by Gary Janetti (a former showrunner on "Will & Grace").

Pregnant jockey Napravnik wins Breeders’ Cup Distaff, will retire

ARCADIA, Calif. — Untapable polished off an impressive year with a 1¹/₄ -length victory Friday in the Breeders' Cup Distaff, with a pregnant Rosie Napravnik becoming the first female jockey to win the $2 million race in its 31-year history.

Napravnik stunned the crowd of 37,205 at Santa Anita and a national television audience by announcing she will retire Sunday. The 26-year-old jockey said she and husband Joe Sharp, who is a trainer, are starting a family. Later, she confirmed she is seven weeks pregnant.

"His career is brand new and thriving," Napravnik said. "It's kind of good timing. He's going to step into the limelight, and I'm going to step out."

Napravnik has four mounts in the nine Breeders' Cup races Saturday.

She had planned to tell her mother about her pregnancy at dinner Friday night and announce the news publicly after Saturday's races, but changed her mind when she won on the 3-year-old filly.

Napravnik won her first race in June 2005 and became the first woman to win the Kentucky Oaks with Believe You Can in 2012. She and Untapable teamed to win the Oaks in May. Napravnik joined Julie Krone as the only female riders to win a Cup race.
Napravnik's best finish in a Triple Crown race was third in the 2013 Preakness with Mylute.

Napravnik, who finished second aboard Tapiture in the $1 million Dirt Mile earlier, didn't rule out a return to the saddle someday.

"It's indefinite. I'm not thinking about a comeback in 10 months," she said. "I can't promise to stay off a horse forever."

Untapable ran 1¹/₈ miles in 1:48.68 and paid $5.20, $3.40 and $2.60 as the 8-5 favorite in the field of 11.

Don't Tell Sophia returned $4.60 and $3.40, while Iotapa was another nose back in third and paid $4 to show.

Napravnik pumped her right hand after crossing the finish line, having secured her second career Breeders' Cup victory. She won the 2012 Juvenile with Shanghai Bobby.

It was the fifth Cup win for trainer Steve Asmussen, and his biggest since winning the $5 million Classic with Curlin in 2007.

"Rosie and she are a great combination, and they have had a tremendous season," Asmussen said. "She's an amazing mare to put us on this stage and to perform like she did."
Asmussen also trains Tapiture, who lost his race by 1¹/₄ lengths.

Untapable lugged in on Iotapa on the rail in the stretch, but the stewards did not post the inquiry sign.

It was Untapable's fourth Grade 1 win of the year. The path to the winner's circle was made clearer when Beholder didn't defend her title after she spiked a fever recently.

Trainer Wesley Ward had a victory and two second-place finishes on opening day of the world championships. But he wasn't present, having stayed home in Florida to spend time with his children. He won the $1 million Juvenile Turf with Hootenanny, with his Luck of the Kitten finishing second. Ward also was second with Sunset Glow in the Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Goldencents successfully defended his title in the $1 million Dirt Mile, winning by 1¹/₄ lengths despite tiring in the stretch. He is headed to retirement, where he will stand stud duty at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky.

Ridden by Rafael Bejarano, Goldencents ran one mile in 1:35.16 and paid $3.40, $2.60 and $2.10 as the 3-5 favorite on Friday at Santa Anita. It was Bejarano's fifth Breeders' Cup victory and the first for Leandro Mora, who became the trainer of record after his boss, Doug O'Neill, was banned by the Breeders' Cup because of medication violations.

"I know I have experience, but I miss my leader," Mora said. "They know we did nothing wrong, so that's what makes a big difference in the friendship between the owners and the trainer."

Tapiture returned $3.80 and $3, while Pants On Fire was another five lengths back in third and paid $4 to show.

National team primed for ‘biggest rugby event in US history’

Teacher by day … father and rugby player by night.

That's the life and times of 30-year-old Mike Petri, who is a member of the United States national rugby team that will take on the All Blacks of New Zealand — the top-ranked squad in the world — on Saturday afternoon at Soldier Field in Chicago (3:30 p.m., NBC).

"This is the biggest rugby event in U.S. history," Petri told The Post in a phone interview. "The All Blacks are the most prestigious team in the world and to have them here is incredible."

As an amateur rugby player, Petri has to find time to make a living, and in addition to his training, he has to juggle his job as a teacher at Xavier High School in Manhattan, in addition to caring for his young daughter.

Petri is a member of the New York Athletic Club, which trains twice a week and is one of the top rugby clubs in the country.

"You just need to make efficient use of any time you get and that's how [it's] been like," he said. "You learn important time management skills … When I can sleep and recover, when I can get grading work done, prep work done, [work on] my fitness, weight sessions, [and] skills. Sometimes you feel like there isn't enough time in the day."

Rugby isn't a mainstream sport in the United States, but Petri, who is involved in youth rugby, is doing his best to change that, as he has written two rugby books, including a children's book entitled "R is for Rugby."

"My wife and I were looking for children's books and there were no rugby books," he said. "She encouraged me to put thoughts together. I ride the subway and drew some rhymes and ended up writing these two books."

Petri says that the goal of the books is to introduce different aspects of the game and improve child literacy, while also promoting the sport.

"[Rugby] has given so much to me, I want to give back," he said.

‘That’s bulls—–t!’ Manziel curses out refs during Cavs/Knicks

Backup Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was front row and center to root on fellow Ohio sports star/BFF LeBron James in his homecoming debut as a Cleveland Cavalier Thursday night.

And the quarterback was not shy about showing his support for the Cavs during their home opener against the New York Knicks.

He and his buddies (including Usher and Browns cornerback Joe Haden) started out the game all smiles. But after what appeared to be a call that went against the Cavaliers, Johnny Mad-ziel went on an expletive-filled tirade, dropping F-bombs, removing his hat in frustration and angrily cussing out the referees on the court.

Check out the NSFW clip below (warning: bad language ahead):

To add injury to insult, LeBron and Cleveland lost their opener against the Knicks, 95-90.
