Julia Mancuso gave herself a shot to win yet another Olympic medal on Monday morning in Sochi, taking the lead in womens super-combined after the first of two runs. Mancuso stayed true to her reputation as a skier who rises to the occasion in big events, crossing nearly a half-second faster than all other competitors in the downhill run at Rosa Khutor. Mancusos time was one minute, 42.68 seconds. The Reno, Nev., native has three career Olympic medals, including a silver in the super-combi at the Vancouver Olympics. The 29-year-old has struggled this season, with her last World Cup podium in March 2013, . She will now hope to fend off skiers who are better in the slalom, in a run that will take place at 6 a.m. ET. At the very least, shes laid claim to top contender status for Wednesdays downhill. The rest of the top 5 after the first run includes some of the best womens skiers of recent years: Lara Gut of Switzerland is in second, followed by Tina Maze of Slovenia, Anna Fenninger of Austria, and defending Olympic champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany. Nicole Hosp of Austria, 2006 Olympic silver medallist in the slalom, still has a shot at the podium after an eighth place showing in the downhill. Marie-Michèle Gagnon, the lone Canadian in the event, sits in 21st place. Gagnon generally does not compete in the downhill during the World Cup season. She has four top 5 finishes in the slalom within the past year, and will need that kind of performance in the second run and some breaks elsewhere to be a factor. The 24-year-old Lac-Etchemin, Que., native won a super-combined event in January, but it was comprised of a super-G and slalom. Steven Hauschka Jersey . Convincing evidence came in the way the Blue Devils kept their focus in a win over Georgia Tech. Jabari Parker had 16 points and 14 rebounds, and No. Steve Largent Seahawks Jersey . - The Colorado Rapids say theyve received a first-round 2015 MLS SuperDraft pick, allocation money and a contract buyout from FC Dallas as compensation for coach Oscar Parejas leaving to take the same job with his former club. http://www.theseahawksstoreonline.com/Black-22-Robert-Turbin-Womens-Jersey/ .J. -- New Jersey agreed with Petr Sykora to terms of a one-year deal on Wednesday, completing the former Devils bid to return to the NHL after an 18-month absence. Michael Bowie Jersey . Collazo was proven correct as his final punch knocked out Victor Ortiz at 2:59 of the second round in a welterweight fight at the Barclays Center on Thursday night. Terrelle Pryor Womens Jersey . -- After enjoying the chance to watch Toronto beat Anaheim, the San Jose Sharks took advantage of a tired Maple Leafs team to move closer to the Ducks in the standings.BOSTON – He is the other Bruins stopper. Not the 6-foot-9 all-encompassing mountain that is Zdeno Chara, but the reigning (and likely repeat) Selke Trophy winner and the "underrated" thorn in the Leafs side. "I think hes got to be one of the best two-way forwards in the game," Tyler Bozak remarked to TSN.ca. "He doesnt do flashy stuff at all, but its like he never makes a wrong play. He always does the right thing. Its hard for him to make mistakes I guess." "Hes a guy that can hurt you offensively, but at the same time hes going to frustrate you on the defensive end," added Ryan OByrne, a frequent opponent as a former member of the Montreal Canadiens. Patrice Bergeron doesnt command the seismic attention of Chara, but remains as significant a detriment to the Maple Leafs chances of success in a first round series with Boston, set to continue with Game 2 on Saturday evening at TD Garden. A determined and pesky presence at both ends of the rink, Bergeron is an all-around pain to deal with, because as Bozak points out, "theres not really an aspect of his game that he lacks". "Hes one of those guys that does everything well really," Jay McClement, a strong defensive pivot himself, noted. "Hes good at faceoffs and hes always in the conversation for the Selke every year and for good reason." While he did not score or manage a point in the Bruins dominant Game 1 win on Wednesday night, the 27-year-old draped himself over Torontos top line of Bozak, Phil Kessel, and James van Riemsdyk, Kessel, most prominently, held off the scoreboard for the fifth time in five meetings with Boston this season. "He plays the game honest," said Bozak, his unit rarely seeing a moment free of Bergeron in the series opener. "Hes always on the right side of the puck. He doesnt get caught in situations where he leaves someone out to dry. I just think hes a really honest player." "Hes never out of position," OByrne opined. "He leans on you and he just doesnt give you much room." Chara has made life unquestionably difficult on Kessel, the Leafs leading scorer who is still without an even-strength goal against his former team, but so too has Bergeron. Not overly imposing physically – actually listedd at about the same size as Bozak – the native of LAncienne-Lorette, Quebec achieves his success defensively with determination and intelligence, instinctively scoping out the play with anticipation and effective positioning.dddddddddddd "I think hockey smarts is probably one of the biggest assets you can have," said Bozak, "and I think his are right up there with the tops." "To play that type of role you have to be smart and read the plays," added McClement. "Hes one of those guys that was probably a very offensive player growing up and then added that two-way part to his game." Centering Bostons swift top line of Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin, Bergeron is a challenging force on the draw, leading the league at 62.1 percent in 2013, including an almost unbeatable 67 percent mark at home. "He was someone that early in my career I had a really tough time beating and someone that I tried to learn some stuff from," Bozak mentioned. In his first one-on-one battle with Bergeron – March 9, 2010 – the Leafs top line centre lost 11 of 17 draws, but ended up marginally ahead in their most recent battle, winning 6 of 11 clashes in Game 1. "Positioning, strength, his timings really good," Bozak remarked of Bergerons faceoff skills. "I think another thing [is] he changes it up a lot, he doesnt just stick [to one move] and do the same thing … so he keeps you guessing and youve got to try and keep him guessing so its [kind] of a mind game." Its those heady defensive traits and faceoff acumen that additionally make Bergeron one of the leagues most effective penalty killers, the Toronto power-play shut down in 10 of 11 opportunities in the regular season, 1-3 in the series opener, the lone goal ensuing with Bergeron in the box. Factor in his stealth production offensively, 35 points in 44 career games against the Leafs, including a team-leading four points in four meetings this season, and its no wonder that Bergeron is labeled as "underrated" by OByrne. "Hes not a flashy player," said the Leafs defender, "but hes going to contribute offensively for sure and thats why he maybe goes under the radar a bit. "Hes a key part of that Boston team and maybe is a little underrated." cheap nfl jerseys ' ' ' |
