DAVOS, Switzerland -- Glen Metropolit hasnt played an NHL game since 2010, but
on Thursday, the oldest player on Canadas Spengler Cup roster showed why hes the
captain of the Canadian squad.

. After nearly scoring on his first shift of the game, the 39-year-old
Metropolit -- whos played for Lugano in the Swiss league the past two seasons --
picked up a goal in the first period and assisted on Derek Walsers game winner
in the third as Canada opened up the Spengler Cup with a 5-4 victory over the HC
Vitkovice Steel of the Czech Republic. "Even at his age, on the blue-line and in
the offensive zone, hes still one of the best players in the game in Switzerland
so thats where hes going to be really good for us," head coach Doug Shedden
said. "Hes played for me before and thats why I made him captain. This could be
his last Spengler Cup and his children are here visiting from Florida. "Its just
something that gets him excited about playing." Byron Ritchie, Micki DuPont, and
Alexandre Bolduc also scored for Canada in a back-and-forth offensive game that
saw leads slip away between both teams four times. Rudolf Huna, Peter Huzeka,
Roman Szturic and Lukas Kucsera scored for Vitkovice. Vitkovices Filip Sindelar
was the busier of the two goaltenders, stopping 37 of 42 shots in the losing
effort. Canadas Chris Mason made 18 saves. "We were outshooting them pretty good
all night," Shedden said. "We really carried the play against them." Ritchies
goal tied the game at 4-4 at 7:58 of the third period, and Walser beat Sindelar
off passes from Anthony Stewart and Metropolit at 13:47 to pull Canada ahead for
good. Bolduc opened the scoring with an unassisted goal at 2:30 of the first
period, but Kucsera responded with a goal for the Czech club team less than two
minutes later. Canada took the lead again on Metropolits goal, and Vitkovice
replied to take a 2-2 tie into the first intermission. The second period proved
costly for Canada when a turnover gave Vitkovice a 4-3 lead 11 seconds after
DuPont tied the game 3-3 on a power play. Shedden said the mistake could be
chalked up to unfamiliarity between his players, whove had just one practice and
one morning skate together before their first game. "The problem was we gave up
some easy scoring chances off some miscues and thats going to happen with guys
who havent played together, and it happens every night anyway if you have played
together." Shedden said. "I thought their goalie really kept them in it because
we really crashed the net all night, and it showed the heart of the Canadians.
"We were down going into the third period and we thought we were playing well
enough, we just had to keep at it and we did that. You work hard enough
eventually youre going get rewarded with a couple goals." Canada plays host HC
Davos on Saturday.

around St James Park to the passionate Newcastle fans.
Basket Under Armour Homme . This should be
celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money
given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those
teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can
play for a different team in the middle of their season.
