Diego Simeone fits Atletico Madrid like a glove and wants to take them forward in their new stadium, says Guillem Balague. Simeone led Atletico to a second Champions League final in three years on Wednesday evening, going through on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate draw with Bayern Munich.The Argentine manager has been tenuously linked with a move to the Premier League in the past, but Balague reiterates that Atletico is perfect for him, and their move into their new stadium in the summer of 2017 will increase his desire to stay. Atletico Madrid players celebrate qualifying for the final of the Champions League Simeone would be the first one to say that Atletico fits him like a glove Balague told Sky Sports. Hes perfect. They understand what he wants, hes a former legend.He wants football that perhaps is not the prettiest - and sometimes he takes things to the limit - but its football that suits Atletico - counter-attacking football.He plays the card of: Were not very rich, we have to work hard for each other, its all about team values. They have more money than most but its a card Atletico are happy to play. Atletico will move out of the Vicente Calderon and into their new stadium in the summer of 2017 Can you take that to another club? Well have to see in the future but certainly he wants to take Atletico to the next level and that will be to a new stadium with more financial possibilities.Simeone has been widely praised for his work at Atletico since arriving in 2011, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Europa League since.His side were unfancied at the quarter-final stage against champions Barcelona, and again against Bayern Munich in the last four, and Balague believes Atleticos style of play is indicative of the faith the players have in their manager. Simeone says their Champions League final appearance is just reward for Atletico Madrids hard work over the last four years Its the hardest thing in football to have an idea, to believe in it and to convince everyone that thats the way to go.Thats what everyone is doing at Atletico under Simeone. Every player has become a better player. Some of them certainly could play a different style - they could have more of the ball, some would fit in well at Bayern, for example - but theyve abandoned that to follow the Simeone approach.Is it pretty? You can argue about that. Is it effective? You have to say that two Champions League finals in three years is extraordinary.

The Canadiens Get: LW Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round pick.The Rangers earn an overtime win and Patrick Kane comes alive in the third period to give Chicago a victory in Game One. Scott Cullen has notes on Brassard, Pouliot, Crosby, Kane, Bickell, Hossa and more. RANGERS TAKE OT WIN Derick Brassard scored at 3:06 of overtime to give the New York Rangers a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game One. The Rangers third line made the most of their opportunities for the night, as Benoit Pouliot scored the Rangers first goal as well as assisting on the game-winner. Brassard and Pouliot also had the Rangers best possession stats for the game, on the ice for 60% of the shot attempts at 5-on-5. The most notable story for the Penguins is that Sidney Crosby was held off the scoresheet, but also was on for all three Rangers goals. Its been a rough start to the postseason for Crosby. Even though he has six assists in seven games and his puck possession numbers are strong, Crosby is minus-5 and still seeking his first goal of the postseason. Hes still getting chances -- his 3.14 shots on goal per game is barely below his regular-season average of 3.24 per game -- but until he gets that first goal, hes going to be under more scrutiny than usual. Penguins wingers Jussi Jokinen and James Neal were on the ice for more than 70% of 5-on-5 shot attempts and Neal scored Pittsburghs second goal, but the ice was tilted favourably in their direction -- they started more than 75% of their shifts in the offensive zone. Rangers D Dan Girardi chipped in a couple of assists. Only once in 81 games during the regular season did Girardi record two assists in a game. The bad news for the Penguins is that they won the puck possession battle, which doesnt fit the profile of these teams entering the postseason, but that still wasnt enough to get away with the win. Getting beat by the Rangers third line is all the more troubling because the Penguins depth and goaltending are areas in which they would expect to have a deficit when compared to the Rangers and thats exactly how Game One played out. KANE PUTS ON A SHOW Blackhawks wingers Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell each scored a pair of goals and Chicago knocked off the Minnesota Wild, 5-2, in Game One. Kane broke a 2-2 tie with 11:38 remaining in the third period, on a highllight-reel goal, then added another with 3:13 remaining to settle the matter before Bickell added an empty-netter.dddddddddddd Kane now has five goals and eight points in seven games this postseason, while Bickell has four goals and five points in seven games. Blackhawks RW Marian Hossa had three points (1 G, 2 A), giving him more points already in this series than he managed in six first-round games against St. Louis. No matter, no one in this years playoffs has more than Hossas 118 career playoff points. LW Patrick Sharp, who had one point in Round One, added two assists in Game One against Minnesota, while D Brent Seabrook contributed two more assists, giving him eight points (2 G, 6 A) in four games. To their credit, the Wild didnt wilt after falling behind 2-0. They outshot the Blackhawks 17-3 in the second period, then scored twice in the first seven minutes of the third to even things up; not for long it turned out. Wild D Jonas Brodin had the best possession numbers for Minnesota at 5-on-5, 73.7% of shot attempts, but it was a rough night for him, as he had six minutes in penalties and was in the box for Chicagos first two goals. D Clayton Stoner also had an eventful game for the Wild, getting credited with a goal (knocked in by Johnny Oduyas skate) and delivering a game-high six hits, including one that knocked Blackhawks RW Andrew Shaw out of the game in the first period. This game showed just how difficult the task at hand is for the Wild. They fought hard to come back, outshot the Blackhawks 32-21 (48-37 in 5-on-5 shot attempts), but they couldnt contain the Blackhawks power play or prevent Kane from getting loose. On top of that, the Wild were fortunate enough to have a Blackhawks goal disallowed in the first period, so there is some work to be done if they are going to make a series out of this. On the plus side, the Wild did show that they can take the play to the Blackhawks at times, so they will have to continue doing so because its difficult to expect Ilya Bryzgalov to get the better of Corey Crawford in the goaltending matchup.
