The veteran skip and his Calgary-based team beat Switzerlands Peter de Cruz 8-4 before dropping a 6-2 decision to Swedens Oskar Eriksson in the evening draw. "Its disappointing, that was a big game for us and we couldnt pull (it) out," said Koe. "Thats a tough one. Just one of those games where we would build a big end and hed come up with a good shot and I couldnt answer. "I had a few chances. I missed a triple for three (in the sixth end) and kind of miscalled the line again. Just one of those games — off by a couple inches." Canada was tied with Switzerland at 6-3 after 14 draws of play. Norways Thomas Ulsrud was in first place at 8-1 and Japans Yusuke Morozumi was next at 7-2. Round-robin play wraps up Thursday with Canada set to play Germanys Johnny Jahr and Scotlands Ewan MacDonald. The top four teams will make the playoffs. Canada still has a chance to qualify for the 1-2 Page Playoff game Friday. The winner of that game advances straight to the gold-medal game and the loser will play in Saturdays semifinal against the winner of the 3-4 Page Playoff game. The 3-4 loser and semifinal loser will play for the bronze medal Sunday before the gold-medal game. Sweden scored six single points in the win over Canada, including steals in the second, fifth and sixth ends. Eriksson moved into a fifth-place tie with Chinas Rui Liu at 5-4. "That win was huge," Eriksson said. "We lost to Switzerland this morning so we had to win this to stay in the race. We made some big shots. I made an important double in the second end to stay alive or else we would lose four. We played really good after that. "Our goal is to get into the playoffs and finish off with a medal." Norway locked up a playoff spot with an 11-2 rout of Russias Evgeny Arkhipov (1- . Japan, meanwhile, scored a deuce in the 10th end for an 8-7 win over Germany. Koe won gold at his only previous appearance at the 2010 world championship in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy. "Our backs are against the wall and we just have to worry about making the playoffs," he said. "I dont know what all the scenarios are but if we can get to 8-and-3, we know well be in the playoffs. Weve come through the long way in the playoffs a lot of times. "Just get us in there, give us a chance and we like our chances." Justin Jones Jersey .

Austin does not believe the game-time temperature is going to be an advantage for either side heading into the Grey Cup. "We dont think about (the cold)," said Austin. "Im not even sure how you would determine an advantage.Coming off an off-season in which his team made significant changes both on and off the ice, Dave Nonis admitted he cant wait to get the season started in order to see the results of the organizations makeover. The Maple Leafs general manager joined TSN 1050 on Friday to discuss the re-tooling of the teams front office and coaching staff, along with moves made to bolster the Leafs forward and defensive depth. “Were looking at how the bottom six shakes out,” Nonis said of the Leafs options up front. “We probably have nine players for six spots.” Nonis believes the signings of the likes of Petri Kontiola and Mike Santorelli should help the team down the middle, while David Booth and Daniel Winnik should provide Randy Carlyle more flexibility with his bottom two lines. “Playing players that deserve to play, regardless of their contractual status, regardless of how much time theyve played in the league,” Nonis said of what fans can expect of how ice time will be divided among the clubs forward group. “Well approach things a lot differently.” Nonis acknowledged that the league is trending towards more evenly distributing minutes, and that his head coach was hamstrung last season with the bottoom-six forwards that were made available.

Besides the competition up front, Nonis said there could be a push from the likes of Petter Granberg, Stuart Percy and Andrew MacWilliam for spots on a revamped back-end. In regards to the teams fornt office makeover, Nonis says hes encouraged by what the additions of Brendan Shanahan and Kyle Dubas will bring to the Leafs front office. “We kind of think the same way in how the team should be put together,” Nonis said of Shanahan. “We agreed for the most part in the direction the team was going,” What impressed Nonis about Dubas was that the 28-year-old was the first person to show the GM “how analytics could be developed." “Hes a hockey guy that understands the analytical side of it,” Nonis said, while again dismissing the notion that the team had previously ignored the increasing role advanced stats are playing in the game. "Theres this notion we had an aversion to analytics, which isnt true.” Nonis said. “Weve used them, weve had them.” Nonis on battle for camp spots, front office changes Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' ' |
