LEDUC, Alta. - Canadas top line did their job to open up the 2015 world sledge hockey challenge.Brad Bowden, Kevin Rempel and captain Greg Westlake combined for three goals and eight points as Canada cruised to an 8-0 victory over South Korea on Sunday in preliminary-round action.Bowden scored twice and set up two more, Rempel added a goal while Westlake tacked on three assists.Everyone on our team has a role that they have to fill sometimes, some nights it changes depending on how the games are going but tonight I felt like it was our lines job to get some energy going and to put that first goal in, said Bowden. Thankfully we did that.Canadian netminder Corbin Watson only had to make 10 saves to earn the shutout.Tyler McGregor also had a pair of goals for Canada (1-0-0), while Adam Dixon scored once and assisted on two others. Marc Dorion and Ben Delaney rounded out Canadas offence.Man-Gyun Yu turned away 14-of-22 shots for South Korea (0-1-0).Bowden opened the scoring at 7:13 of the first period and Dixon made it 2-0 for Canada 28 seconds later.Dorion put the Canadians up three goals before the first intermission.Delaney struck 2:02 into the second period and then Canada blew the game open with three goals in a span of 2:42 to make it 7-0 after 40 minutes.McGregor scored his first of the game at 10:10 while on the power play and Rempel followed at 12:32. McGregor then added his second of the period just 19 seconds after.Bowden rounded out the scoring at 9:08 of the third period with another power-play goal.The Canadians went 2 for 3 on the power play and kept out of the penalty box for the entire contest.Canada recently hosted its team selection camp, replacing some veterans with new faces. A victory over South Korea alleviated some of the nerves for those lacking international experience, according to Bowden — an alternate captain.For some of the new guys I think (winning) helps them relax a bit, said Bowden. I know some of them had some nerves at the start but they loosened up against Korea.Earlier — in a rematch of the gold-medal game from the 2014 Sochi Paralympics — Declan Farmer scored with 1:45 left in the third to lift the U.S. over Russia 3-2.Brody Roybal and Kevin McKee also scored for the Americans (1-0-0), who got an 18-save outing from goaltender Steve Cash.It was an exciting first game, not just for the tournament, but for our season in general, said U.S. coach Jeff Sauer. Our newcomers learned a lot today against a strong Russian team. Were glad to get the win and ready to improve next game.Evgeny Petrov and Vasily Varlakov supplied the offence for Russia (0-1-1) while Vladimir Kamanstev stopped 17 shots in the loss. Canada will face Russia on Monday in preliminary-round action while the U.S. plays South Korea.I can feel this fire in the change room, guys are hungry now and got a taste of our first win, said Bowden. Now were going to be able to take the next step forward and play an even better team with that same energy. Its a very cool feeling right now. Rays Jose De Leon Jersey . The turf is scheduled to give way to actual grass that is bright green, so we dont have to complain any more—we just have to wait a few years. Instead, do feel free to complain if the roof is closed for any reason other than to allow a game to be played. Rays Chaz Roe Jersey . Hes still nowhere close to throwing yet. The four-time MVP was in good spirits when he made his first public appearance on the field since having neck surgery Sept. http://www.cheapraysjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=rays-michael-perez-jersey . -- Fantasy football owners and Denver Broncos fans can rest easy: Peyton Manning is back.

But he knows that he only wants to suit up for the Texans.I dont want to play for nobody else ... I dont even think it would feel right, he said.Thats a change from an off-season where he wondered if Houston was still the place for me before skipping all of the teams off-season work. He returned in time for training camp and certainly doesnt feel that way anymore.I couldnt imagine how it would feel to put on another uniform, he said Thursday.Johnson was drafted in the first round in 2003 in the franchises second season and hes by far the longest tenured player on the team. Despite dealing with years of lean times, which have included two 2-14 seasons, and more than his fair share of quarterback woes, Johnson is still confident that things will end well for him here.Yeah, why not? Johnson said with a chuckle and a shake of his head. You always want it to turn out OK. I always want things to work out here. Ive always wanted that.But at 33, Johnson has started wondering just how many years he has left to play. In moments of quiet reflection he sometimes thinks about the career of his idol Jerry Rice and marvels at how long he was able to play.You see something on TV, like watching the NFL Network and you see a clip of Jerry Rice or something, Johnson said. And you sit there and youre just like: Man this guy played for 20 years and Im in my 12th year. How did he play eight more years? I cant imagine myself playing for eight more seasons. I just cant see that happening.But he wasnt ready to completely rule it out on Thursday, perhaps buoyed by Hooustons win against Tennessee on Sunday where the Texans set a franchise record with 45 points.dddddddddddd.I wouldnt say never, but right now I just cant imagine that, Johnson said.When he was younger his goal was to play for 10 seasons. After he passed that number, he decided 15 years might be a good time to hang it up. Now that hes in his 30s, hes gotten a kick out of helping mentor younger players and has taken a special interest in DeAndre Hopkins, a first-round pick last season.Its fun just to see him grow as a player, even grow as a person, Johnson said. Hes learning and I think thats the biggest thing. Every day he is in here working his butt off. I get to sit back and watch it.Hopkins has more than 1,000 yards receiving this season and said that there isnt anything Johnson hasnt helped him with.Everything and all of the above, Hopkins said.Though Hopkins is slowly taking over as Houstons go-to receiver, Johnson is still producing at a high level and has 65 receptions for 720 yards and two touchdowns this year. Its another solid season in a career where he has had 1,100 yards receiving or more seven times, including a career-high 1,598 in 2012.He has 13,381 yards receiving in his career, just two yards shy of eclipsing Torry Holt for 12th on the all-time list. Johnson could also reach another milestone on Sunday at Jacksonville, needing just eight catches to become the 10th player in NFL history with 1,000 career receptions.It will be big when it happens, Johnson said. Not many people have been able to do it. To be in that category, it will mean a lot.If he does it on Sunday he would tie Marvin Harrison for fastest to reach the mark by doing it in his 167th career game.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Chiefs Jerseys China Cheap Nike Chargers Jerseys Cheap Nike Raiders Jerseys Wholesale Cowboys Jerseys China Cheap Nike Giants Jerseys Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys For Sale Wholesale Redskins Jerseys China Cheap Nike Lions Jerseys Packers Jerseys China Cheap Vikings Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Panthers Jerseys Hoodies Cheap Saints Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike Buccaneers Jerseys Cardinals Jerseys China Cheap Rams Jerseys Hoodies Cheap Nike 49ers Jerseys Seahawks Jerseys China Bears Jerseys China Cheap Nike Bills Jerseys Ravens Jerseys China Wholesale Falcons Jerseys China ' ' ' |
