BERLIN -- Borussia Dortmund withstood a late rally from Bayer Leverkusen to win 3-2 and move above the home side into second in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Wholesale Nike Jerseys . Robert Lewandowski set up one goal, earned two penalties and scored the winning goal in the 64th minute -- just after Stefan Reinartz had pulled Leverkusen level with two goals in four minutes. "It was a meeting of the highest level ... in the end the team that won was the one that made the one mistake less," said Leverkusen defender Philipp Wollscheid. Marco Reus opened the scoring in the third minute when he chipped Bernd Leno after Lewandowski played the Germany international through. Leno brought Lewandowski down five minutes later and Blaszczykowski stepped up to make it 2-0 from the penalty spot. "They were always dangerous. I told the guys at halftime that 2-0 is a very dangerous score (to defend)," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. Leverkusen responded with tremendous pressure -- the home side had 26 efforts on goal altogether -- only to find reserve goalkeeper Mitch Langerak in fantastic form. Langerak denied Stefan Kiessling from point blank before Mats Hummels blocked Andre Schuerrles effort on the line. Then Kiessling controlled the ball on his chest, lifted the ball over a defender with one touch and away from the goalkeeper with his next for Reinartz to score his first goal of the season in the 58th. He got his second four minutes later, only for Lewandowski to reply straight away with his 13th goal of the season at the other end. Blaszczykowski had the chance to make it 4-2 in the 71st, after Sebastian Boenisch brought Lewandowski down in the area, but this time Leno saved the Poles penalty and kept his side in the game -- albeit to little avail. "I think it was an interesting game to watch," Blaszczykowski said. The result means Bayern Munichs lead stretched to 12 points after the 20th round of games. Earlier, Nuremberg ended Borussia Moenchengladbachs seven-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga with a 2-1 win that lifts the club above former coach Dieter Heckings new side Wolfsburg. Nuremberg took an early lead through Timmy Simons fourth-minute penalty. It was given for an adjudged foul by Thorben Marx on Mike Frantz, which appeared to be a dive. "You have to be careful when making decisions like that, because it can change the whole course of a game. That ones unbelievable," said Moenchengladbach coach Lucien Favre. "Weve had such situations go against us, we dont need to excuse ourselves for it," said Michael Wiesinger after his first win as Nuremberg coach. Tomas Pekhart made it 2-0 in the 30th with a well-drilled low shot to the far corner after Hiroshi Kiyotake capitalized on a Marx mistake to set him up. Raphael Schaefer made two great saves to keep the visitors scoreless in the first half, but Patrick Herrmann finally beat him for Gladbachs consolation in the 58th, when he shot high into the roof of the net. The result lifts Nuremberg one point above Wolfsburg, which Hecking joined on Dec. 22.

Hire the best general manager available, give him time and space and let nature take its course. Except, it never seems to work out that way. Which begs the question of why have so many Maple Leaf general managers of the past 30 years stumbled and failed, while the blueprint to building successful teams seems so evident in other markets around the league? Why does the slow build to success never happen? The first thing to keep in mind is that building long-term success in the NHL happens through success in the draft, with few, if any, exceptions. Free agency and the ability to execute good trades help, but find a team thats maintained success over a period of more than a handful of years and youre guaranteed to find a very strong draft record. Pick your example because there are all kinds of them right now in the NHL – LA, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Washington, Vancouver, Chicago, Boston, to name just the most obvious. Edmonton, where fans have endured plenty of awful seasons, now has a team loaded with top draft picks that many predict will return them to their glory days. But building through draft requires two things – the patience of ownership to allow time for maturation of prospects into front-line NHLers, and the ability of the general manager to get it right on draft day (or not trade away draft picks before draft day ever arrives.) There isnt a single Maple Leaf general manager of the past 30 years who can look back and say he had both those things going for him, from Burke to John Ferguson Jr. Cheap NFL Jerseys. , Cliff Fletcher all the way back to Gerry McNamara. There have certainly been times where there was pressure from ownership to win immediately, such as during Ferguson Jr.s stormy period operating the Leafs. Brian Burke followed him with the clout of a Stanley Cup ring, and a resume that earned him more autonomy than any general manager in recent memory. But in fine Maple Leaf general manager tradition, he either traded away picks before the draft or wasnt able to pick the best available player when his turn came along. He may have never uttered the words "draft schmaaft," but his signature move -- trading three draft picks – two first-rounders and a second-rounder – to Boston for Phil Kessel, has Maple Leaf DNA all over it. And the highest pick he retained during any of his first three Maple Leaf drafts – the No. 7 overall in 2009, he used to take Nazem Kadri, a player who remains very much a work in progress at age 22. Interestingly, Kadri is the only player selected by Burke to play a single NHL game. Among players taken during the 09, 10 and 11 drafts there are 90 players whove participated in NHL games. But Kadri, whose status in the NHL remains iffy, is the only Leaf. Leaf GMs werent much more successful at the draft table during the years that preceded Ferguson, but those teams were operating in an environment where errors on draft day could always be papered over with cash, something thats never been in short supply in Toronto. That cant happen in todays NHL, which makes the skills of a general manager on draft day, and the willingness to let him build through the draft, that much more important. Yet nearly 46 years removed from a Stanley Cup win and nearly nine years since they last played a playoff game, passion for the Maple Leafs in Toronto hasnt subsided one tiny bit. Ten general managers have come and gone since 1967, all of them falling victim to impatience, either their own or that of ownership, and/or ineptitude at the draft. Building from the ground up shouldnt be so complicated, even in Toronto, with all the pressures that abound. Some day, someone is going to get it right.
