Its been six years since Canada last won gold at the World Junior Championship and this years team will look to end that drought tonight against Russia. Jayson Werth Jersey . You can watch the game live on TSN1, TSN4, TSN5 and TSN GO at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt, or listen live on the TSN Radio Network. In the bronze medal game, Sweden faces Slovakia on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5 at 4pm et/1pm pt. Canadas last gold came on home ice in Ottawa in 2009, and the team is hoping to repeat that success in Toronto this year. Zach Fucale will get the start in goal for Canada. I really want them to just have fun and enjoy it, said Canadian captain Curtis Lazar. Weve worked hard to get to this point. The fans at the ACC have been awesome and I really want them to just get caught in the moment, kind of take a step back and soak it all in, because its going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and opportunity for us. I feel like if we go out there and we play the right way, the way we can, well be able to get the job done. Team Canada reached the gold medal game with a 5-1 win over Slovakia on Sunday with Nic Petan leading the way with a hat trick. Petan will start tonights game on a line with Lazar and Connor McDavid, who had three assists in the semifinal win. Canada outshot Slovakia 44-15 in the rematch of Canadas opening 8-0 win on Boxing Day. Fucale made 14 stops in the semifinal and picked up his fourth win of the tournament. Thus far, the United States has provided the toughest challenge of the tournament for Canada, who trounced Denmark in the quarterfinal. Russias road the final, however, has been much tougher. After finishing as the third seed in Group B with five points (one regulation win, one overtime win and two losses), Russia faced the United States in the quarterfinal round. Despite being outshot 41-25 by the Americans, goaltender Igor Shestyorkin led Russia to a 3-2 win over the United States. Russia then matched up against unbeaten Sweden in the semifinal round in a rematch of Swedens 3-2 win on December 29. Russia opened up a 3-0 lead in the third period before relegating Sweden to the bronze medal game with a 4-1 victory. The Russians feel their tough road to the gold medal game could be an advantage as they take another unbeaten team – and a team yet to trail - in Canada. We had a couple of pretty hard games against the U.S. and Sweden, forward Ivan Barbashyov said after Russias Sunday win. We know how to play, and well be playing the same way we played today and two days ago. This game will serve as the latest chapter in the storied history of the Canada-Russia rivalry. It is also a rematch of the 2011 World Junior final, in which Canada held a three-goal lead after two periods before losing 5-3. Russian coach Valeri Bragin called the matchup against Canada the best thing for all of the hockey community and referred to the rivalry as a hockey classic. That rivalry thats been together since the 72 Summit Series that Ive been told about and see highlights of all the time, its going to be something special, Canadian defenceman Joe Hicketts told the Canadian Press. Its an honour for me to get to wear the Maple Leaf in that game. Though the two teams did not meet in the tournament, the two met in pre-tournament action on December 19. Canada dominated Russia with a 53-23 differential in shots, but Shestyorkin turned all but one aside as Russia picked up a 2-1 overtime win. Fucale was in net for the loss. For Canada, McDavid insisted after the teams semifinal win he would play against Russia and was fine despite colliding with teammate Curtis Lazar on Sunday. The 17-year-old has two goals and eight assists through eight games, tied for second in tournament scoring, one point behind Petan.

With his father watching from the stands, Harrison homered, doubled, single and drove in a career-high five runs to lead the Pirates to a 8-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday.PHILADELPHIA - Michael Vick is coming back to Philadelphia wearing a different shade of green and a new uniform number. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback is expected to start for the New York Jets (2-1) against the Eagles (1-2) in Thursday nights preseason finale. He probably wont see much action before giving way to Matt Simms. Jets starter Geno Smith and most of the No. 1s for both teams arent playing. Vick resurrected his career in Philadelphia after missing two seasons because of his imprisonment on dogfighting charges. He began his five-year stint with the Eagles as a third-string quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb in 2009 and finished as the backup to Nick Foles. In between, Vick had the best all-around season of his career in 2010 when he was The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year, the NFC Pro Bowl starter and led the Eagles to an NFC East title. "I had a great run there with a lot of great memories and accomplished some things that can never be taken away from me," Vick said. "Im ecstatic about that, thankful and very grateful." Vick should receive a loud ovation from Eagles fans. Though he arrived to protests and boos, he quickly won over the city with excellent performances on the field and model behaviour off it. Vick was active in the community and was a team leader, mentoring young players and serving as a liaison to the coaching staff. "The chemistry that I had with the organization was uncanny," he said. "The relationships that I developed with the people in the front office were awesome. All my teammates, I had a great deal of appreciation for and I think I could say thats vice versa. We had a great time. We won a lot of games. We lost some games. Through all the good and the bad, we always stayed tight and I think thats what was most important." Vick battled injuries in Philadelphia and eventually lostt his starting job last year to Foles, who had one of the best statistical seasons of any quarterback in league history. Stephen Strasburg Jersey. When he left for New York, owner Jeffrey Lurie issued a statement praising him for his time in Philadelphia. Its not often an owner says anything when a free agent backup leaves town. But Vick was no ordinary player. Vicks appearance will be the highlight of a game that will feature mostly third-string players, guys fighting for roster spots and some hoping to save their NFL careers. Matt Barkley will start at quarterback for the Eagles while Foles and backup Mark Sanchez watch safely from the sideline. Sanchez, who led the Jets to AFC titles games his first two seasons in the league, had an outstanding preseason after trading places with Vick. "We need to see Matt play a lot," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. "I think we feel comfortable in what Mark Sanchez has done in the first three games. We want to see Matt play for an extended period of time." Both coaching staffs face tough decisions before Saturdays roster deadline. The Eagles have strong competition at running back, wide receiver and linebacker. Theyre also unsettled at kicker. Incumbent Alex Henery is battling new acquisition Cody Parkey for that job. The Jets will be looking carefully at their cornerbacks following Dimitri Pattersons suspension. Patterson is expected to return Monday, but Dee Milliner is still recovering from a high ankle sprain. It could be a last chance for wide receiver Stephen Hill to stick with the Jets. Injuries and inconsistency have made him a second-round disappointment. "A lot of jobs still up and opportunities for guys to show what they got one last time," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ___ Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Wholesale Jerseys 2019 NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping ' ' ' |
