| SOCHI, Russia - Steve Yzerman wont be going for a third Olympic gold medal. Team Canadas executive director says he will not lead the team into the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Yzerman built the team that beat Sweden 3-0 on Sunday to capture a second straight mens hockey gold at the Sochi Olympics. He leaves his post after leading Team Canada to back-to-back gold medals for the first time since 1948 and 1952. He assembled one of the best defensive lineups ever to wear the Maple Leaf in Sochi as Canada gave up just three goals in six games. They shut out the Americans 1-0 in the semifinals before defeating Sweden in the final. Ryan Pulock Jersey . - First-timer Chris Harris Jr. Thomas Greiss Islanders Jersey . The best round belonged to Pat Perez. Tiger Woods didnt come close to claiming either Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open, where the seven-time champion failed to break par in the opening round for first time in his career. http://www.islanderssale.com/authentic-jordan-eberle-islanders-jersey/ . HABS HEADED TO CONFERENCE FINAL The Montreal Canadiens scored early in Game Seven, built a lead and protected it well on their way to a 3-1 series-clinching win over the Boston Bruins. While this game or series isnt necessarily a referendum on the value of fourth lines, the Canadiens certainly benefitted from production lower down their forward depth chart. Clark Gillies Islanders Jersey . City has reached new heights under manager Manuel Pellegrini as they transition from big spending/immediate impact to perennial contender. Yaya Toures seeming discontent Tuesday may complicate that, as does the little issue of Financial Fair Play. Pat LaFontaine Jersey . The post-season, Pierce said repeatedly, is no time to panic. And the Heat, apparently, are nothing to fear.Kaillie Humphries didnt have much time to celebrate.Moments after learning she had won the 2014 Lou Marsh Trophy as Canadas top athlete, the 29-year-old bobsled pilot was off to the track for her final practice session ahead of this weekends season-opening World Cup race.Trying to be focused on both of these runs today was probably one of my biggest challenges Ive had so far this year, Humphries said Thursday from Lake Placid, N.Y. Its such an amazing honour and Im so, so excited to be amongst sport royalty.The first bobsledder to win the Lou Marsh Trophy, Humphries became the first female in her sport to win back-to-back Olympic gold when she captured her second title in Sochi.Humphries also carried Canadas flag along with brakeman Heather Moyse into the closing ceremonies in Russia.Most of the time you see hockey or football, you see a lot of the top sports (win the award), said Humphries, who also won her second World Cup title in 2014. So to be the one to represent a not-as-popular sport is a pretty big honour.Womens tennis player Eugenie Bouchard, mens tennis player Milos Raonic, Los Angeles Kings defenceman Drew Doughty and lacrosse star Johnny Powless were the other finalists. Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish won the award last year.Along with her two Olympic gold medalls, Humphries has captured 28 World Cup medals and seven world championship medals.dddddddddddd.Despite that long list of accomplishments, Humphries said she was surprised to win the trophy that is named after a former Toronto Star sports editor and awarded annually to Canadas top athlete as selected by representatives of countrys leading news organizations.When you hear the list of athletes that have won it previously youve got (Sidney) Crosby, youve got (Wayne) Gretzky, youve got Donovan Bailey — the list goes on and on, said Humphries. When I think of myself as an athlete sometimes its hard to put myself in the same category as the athletes Ive grown up watching or knowing about.Its shocking for me.Humphries, who grew up as a competitive skier, but switched sports after breaking a leg in two separate accidents, continues to push the boundaries of bobsledding.She will pilot a Canadian four-man team in what would have been the mens competition on the World Cup circuit this season. She has long lobbied for the chance to race against men, and the International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation decided this year to make the four-man event gender neutral.Humphries piloted a crew of herself and three male athletes in five races this season to qualify for the World Cup circuit. ' ' ' is expected to get the start tonight. ' ' 'added 11 in the win. ' ' 'Monday. ' ' ' |
