HOUSTON - Kenwyne Jones had a goal and an assist, helping Trinidad and Tobago to
a 2-0 victory over 10-man Honduras to advance to the quarterfinals of the
CONCACAF Gold Cup.

City of the English Premier League, converted a penalty kick with a deft touch
to the left of Honduras goalkeeper Jose Mendoza in the 47th minute. The score
came after referee Marco Rodriguez whistled Orlin Peralta for a foul in the
penalty area on Cornell Glenn. Nearly 20 minutes later, Jones served Kevin
Molino with a precise ball into the box off a pass by Khaleem Hyland. Molino
deposited it into the back of net. Despite the loss, Honduras (2-1, 6 points)
finished atop Group B after wins over Haiti and El Salvador. Honduras played a
man down since the 37th minute, when Jose Velasquez was red-carded. "It wasnt a
good game," Honduras coach Luis Fernando Suarez said. "The ejection complicated
our attempts to arm the team properly. "Fortunately, if we could lose one game,
it was this one," added Suarez, who described Trinidad and Tobago as potent and
strong. With the win, Trinidad and Tobago (1-1-1, 4 points) dropped Haiti (1-2,
3 points) out of the competition. "We knew we had to play for the result, but
more important for me was the positive approach the team took," Trinidad and
Tobago coach Stephen Hart said. "We tried to not only keep possession of the
ball but to attack and create some opportunities." Trinidad and Tobago reached
the knockout stages for the first time since losing 1-0 to Canada in the
semifinals of the 2000 Gold Cup. Gold Cup group-stage play concludes Tuesday in
East Hartford, Conn., with Costa Rica facing the United States and Belize
playing Cuba, the latter two teams having no points through two matches.

teams third preseason game. Tinsley, a 10-year veteran, spent the last two
seasons in Utah, where the point guard averaged 3.The Pittsburgh Penguins didnt
change a whole lot after being swept by the Boston Bruins in the Eastern
Conference final. Coach Dan Bylsma, centre Evgeni Malkin and defencemen Kris
Letang got contract extensions, and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury got a vote of
confidence. But on Friday the team announced the addition of seasoned coach
Jacques Martin as an assistant, a move that could be a minor tweak for a Stanley
Cup contender or a major change for Bylsma and his staff. General manager Ray
Shero indicated that Bylsma initiated talks with Martin with the idea of adding
experience. Bylsma said it wasnt just a response to the Penguins surprising
playoff exit. "I think weve always looked at situations where we need to be able
to get better at and improve upon. We certainly did that after this year,"
Bylsma said on a conference call with reporters. "We want someone with maybe a
little bit different look at things from a different perspective." The
60-year-old Martin brings a unique perspective, having won 613 of 1,294 games in
parts of 17 seasons as an NHL head coach. He won the Jack Adams Award as coach
of the year with the Ottawa Senators in 1999 and is 10th all-time in victories.
Martin most recently spent three seasons coaching the Montreal Canadiens before
being fired and replaced by Randy Cunneyworth midway through the 2011-12 season.
He hasnt been an assistant since 1995-96 with the Cup-champion Colorado
Avalanche, but Martin isnt worried about stepping back into that role. "I think
Ive always looked at coaching, whether Im the head coach or an assistant coach
as teamwork, working together," Martin said. "Yes we have different
responsibilities, but Ive always felt that I wanted my assistant coaches to be
strong-minded, strong people that express themselves." The Penguins werent sure
if Martin would join Bylsma and assistants Tony Granato and Todd Reirden behind
the bench for games as their specific roles are expected to become more defined
after training camp. Martin is hoping to learn from those younger coaches and
also plans to lean on past experience in Ottawa with late mentor Roger Neilson.
"Roger happened to be one of my assistant coaches at the end of his career, and
he was tremendous," Martin said. "I think I can relate to what Roger broughtt to
my coaching style and to our team in Ottawa when he worked as an assistant.

some of those same contributions, same knowledge and commitment to Dan and to
the rest of our staff and the Penguins organization." Martin had a previous
connection to Shero from some time together with the Senators, but it was Bylsma
who apparently sought him out as an assistant-coaching candidate. Bylsma said
the plan to hire another assistant had been discussed in previous years, but
everything came together to add Martin after a couple of months of
conversations. "We werent just looking for a coach, we were looking for a
criteria of a coach and an experience of a coach," Bylsma said. "The expertise
that comes with Jacques, his experience in the game at many different levels is
really what we want to add to our team." Martin has never won a Cup as a head
coach but has a ring from the Avalanche. In going to Pittsburgh, Martin
expressed excitement about joining a team that sees winning it all as a
"mandate." The Penguins hope hiring Martin helps them return to the top of the
NHL for the first time since 2009. "Were a salary cap league now for eight years
or so," Shero said. "Theres other areas in which you try to improve your team
off the ice. This is just another avenue trying to do that, to add to our
coaching staff, to make us a better team, and thats simply what were trying to
do." One way for Martin to make an impact could be by helping Letang round out
his defensive game. Reirden has been in charge of the blue-line and might
continue in that role, but Martin brings with him the experience of overseeing
the growth of young defencemen like Chris Phillips and Wade Redden in Ottawa.
Bylsma said Letang, who this summer signed a US$58-million, eight-year
extension, has "improved dramatically." But of course theres room for some work.
"From the outside, from coaching against him, theres no doubt that he has
tremendous vision, has tremendous offensive skill," Martin said. "I think like
many other young defencemen I think its moving without the puck, its improving,
playing maybe more of a controlled game. ... "Im looking forward to that
opportunity as well as the other great players on this team."
