Custom Florida Panthers Jersey . The
26-year-old from Calgary, who won the bronze medal at the season-opener in
Norway, could not break Germanys domination of the podium and was forced into
fourth with a two-run time of one minute 54.382 seconds. "We just werent quick
enough on the start today," said Wolfgang Staudinger, the head coach of Canadas
luge team. "To win medals it is a tough battle and you have to be on the ball
every single day. Alex is in the mix and if we all do our job right I know we
can do this." The Germans swept the womens luge podium for the second straight
week. Natalie Geisenberger finished on top with a time of 1:53.457. Tatjana
Hufner was second at 1:53.897, while Anke Wischnewski grabbed the bronze at
1:54.101. Two other Calgary-based Canadian women enjoyed their best results of
the season. Kimberley McRae found her way into the top-10 for the first time
this year. McRae clocked a 10th-place time of 1:54.733. Arianne Jones also had a
solid outing, placing 16th at 1:55.028. Calgarys Jordan Smith rounded out the
Canadian contingent in 23rd with a time of 1:59.676. The Canadian squad of
Gough, Sam Edney and Tristan Walker and Justin Snith were leading the team relay
event in the afternoon until they were disqualified after the doubles sled left
the start gate too early. Geisenberger leads the standings with 300 points,
ahead of Huefner (200) and Wischnewski (186). However, a mistake from
Geisenberger at the start of the team relay later Sunday cost Germany the chance
of making it a perfect 4-for-4 in gold medals from the weekend. Italys Sandra
Gasparini, Dominik Fischnaller and Christian Oberstolz with Patrick Gruber took
advantage and won in a track record combined time of 2:25.874. Hansen and
American team mates Greg West, Christian Niccum and Jayson Terdiman were second,
ahead of Austrias Nina Reithmayer, Daniel Pfister and Peter Penz with Georg
Fischler. The Germans had to make do with ninth. On Saturday, Germanys Chris
Eissler was the surprise winner of the mens singles race on his World Cup debut,
and world champions Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt claimed their second doubles
victory of the season.

. On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao
Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their
campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As
opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener.Winnipeg Jets 5 New
York Rangers 2 – With the win the Jets are now 3-1 on the six-game road trip, as
they leave the New York area they are headed for the state of Florida for the
final two games. Jets season record is now 13-12-4 and their road record is
6-6-1. For the second straight game the Jets fell behind early as
Mats Zuccarello opened the scoring at 2:49 of the first, the only goal of the
opening period with the Rangers outshooting the Jets 11-6. The Jets defence got
more involved in the offensive side of the game in period two and the Jets had a
number of chances to score, including goal posts from Dustin Byfuglien and
Jacob Trouba. The Jets tied the game 8:16 in with Devin Setoguchi notching his
third in four games off a nice feed from Olli Jokinen. Setoguchi now has seven
on the year. Chris Thorburn was the left winger on that line in the absence of
Evander Kane and picked up his first point of the season on the play. Kane is
day to day with a lower body injury. Less than two minutes later the Jets took
the lead. John Albert, up from St. Johns, and making his NHL debut was sent in
by Byfuglien and scored his first NHL goal on his first NHL shot. It was a great
defensive read by Byfulien at the Jets line that started the play. 24-year-old
Albert was a Jets pick in 2007 and is a third year pro. His parents, John and
Cindy, were in the building for his special night. Ryan Callahan tied the game
before the second period was out, scoring off a goal mouth scramble. The second
period was wide open with the teams trading chances and the shots, with the
totals 15-13 in favour of New York. Both teams were cautious to start the third
but after the Jets killed off a penalty, the game again opened up with both
Ondrej Pavelec and Cam Talbot getting tested. At 12:42 Jokinen snapped the tie
with his 5th goal of the season beating Talbot from the slot after some good
fore-checking by Thorburn and Setoguchi.
Jonathan Huberdeau Panthers Jersey. It stayed
that way until Jokinens second of the game and 6th of the season put the game
away, as he again beat Talbot from the slot with a wrist shot. Michael Frolik
and Jacob Trouba drew assists. Trouba earned another assist on an empty net goal
by Blake Wheeler. For Wheeler the goal snapped a 14 game goalless stretch. Final
shots favoured the Rangers 37-30. Individually, Pavelec has now only allowed
nine goals against in his last five road games, Jokinen recorded his first three
point game of the season, Thorburn notched is seventh career multi point game,
Trouba his first to go along with a game-high eight blocked shots.
Mark Scheifele had his four game point streak snapped but had another very good
game in 16:57 of ice time, his most minutes played in the past 12 games. At
12:10, that was a season high for Thorburn, while Byfuglien again led the way at
28:38. Wheeler had seven shots on goal to lead the Jets in that category.
Jokinen and Grant Clitsome were each plus three in the game. It was the second
plus three game of the season for Clitsome. Albert played 8:29 on a line with
James Wright and Anthony Peluso. "We managed the puck very well, were a
confident group and had a lot of players engaged in the game," commented Coach
Claude Noel. " We got production from a lot of people." As for Albert, "He had a
few bumps but he was fine, strong positionally. His goal lifted our bench, a
lot." As for Thorburn, "he was good, got involved physically. On the fore-check
he wanted the puck dumped into his corner and he would go get it." Jets will
have two more practice days in Florida before meeting the Panthers Thursday (TSN
Jets, TSN 1290), then close out the trip in Tampa Saturday.
