KITCHENER, Ont. -- Brad Gushue of St. Johns, N.L., needs just one more win to get closer to another Olympic experience. The 2006 Olympic gold medallist came out hitting against Saskatoons Steve Laycock for a 5-3 win on Sunday in the Page Playoff C-C game at the Road to the Roar Olympic pre-trials. With the win, Gushue earned another faceoff with Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in the last chance to qualify for the Roar of the Rings Olympic curling trials in December. That event that will decide Canadas teams for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. "It felt great out there," said Gushue. "I thought we played well. We really minimized our mistakes, which is something really burned us early on this week. We didnt make any big ones, and the few mistakes that we did, we came back with great shots after." The No. 2-ranked Gushue rattled off two wins early in the pre-trial tournament, then lost the A-Event final to John Morris of Vernon/Kelowna, B.C. Battling back through the B-Event, Gushue lost the semifinal to Jacobs and had to win two more games before defeating Greg Balsdon of Elgin, Ont., in the C-Event finals and earn a spot in the Page C-C game. Gushue and his team of Brett Gallant, Adam Casey, Geoff Walker and coach Peter Gallant shot 90 per cent as a team, and executed the big shots when needed. In the eighth, with a Laycock counter tucked behind a corner guard, Gushue made the runback double with his first, and then threw a precise pick forcing Laycock to hit for one and head into the final two ends trailing by two. Trailing by one in the final end, Laycock split the house to set up a possible score of two, forcing Gushue to draw for one and put the win away. "Were playing our best curling the past two days, and hopefully it continues tonight," Gushue said. "We just need one game, one great game, and well be in Winnipeg. But unfortunately, were playing a real good team, and theyre playing well too. So were going to give it everything we have and hopefully come out on top." While disappointed, Laycock was also philosophical after the loss. "We came in ranked fifth, and we finished fourth," said Laycock. "Disappointing to lose out there, but they played a great game though. Brad make five or six doubles that were huge." Butch Goring Jersey . Seager had another triple, a home run and a double in a rare feat not seen in more than 40 years, leading Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners past the New York Yankees 10-2.

"I had a pretty good year," the soft-spoken Granberg told TSN.ca with a grin from the teams annual rookie tournament in London. A fourth-round selection in 2010, Granberg is worth keeping an eye on with NHL training camps rolling around in less than a week. The six-foot-two, 200-pound defender may not possess the wow-inspiring theatrics of fellow prospect Morgan Rielly, but nonetheless has a chance to contribute with the Leafs when all is said and done this season.

Derek Forbort Jersey .TV Series: Duck Dynasty. ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Sure, the season has barely begun. The Minnesota Wild were still a bit anxious, having lost their first three games. This time, they produced the start-to-finish, end-to-end performance theyve been seeking. Matt Cooke had a goal and an assist, and Josh Harding made 14 saves for the Wild in a 2-1 victory on Thursday night over the Winnipeg Jets, their newest rival in the recreated Central Division. "I think its natural to have, for lack of a better word, a panic, but I think if you honestly looked at those games in an unbiased way we carried the play for most of it each game," Cooke said. The Wild lost all three games by one goal, two after regulation ended. Though they clung to a one-goal lead all night, they outshot the Jets 30-15 and were in control the whole time. They set a franchise record by winning 74 per cent of the faceoffs, 45 of 61. "Its the little things that add up to make a difference, and thats what we saw," coach Mike Yeo said. Jonas Brodin scored first for the Wild on Ondrej Pavelec, who stopped 28 shots. He has played all four games for the Jets and allowed 12 goals, but he didnt have any help in this one. "We never start with the puck," coach Claude Noel said. "We chased pretty much the whole night and never created very much through the neutral zone." Bryan Littles goal in the final minute of the first period during a 5-on-3 power play tied the game for the Jets, who played their second road game of the season. After scoring five goals in each of their first two games, the Jets have only three goals and 32 shots over their last two contests. "Were trying to be too cute. Were at our best when pucks are deep and we can work off the forecheck," said right wing Devin Setoguchi, facing his former team for the first time. Though Chicago is closer to Minnesota by car, Winnipeg is the nearest as-the-crow-flies city to St. Paul. The Manitobans dont miss an opportunity to take advantage of the proximity and root in person for their Jets on the road. Chants of "Lets go Jets!" were rampant up to and aftter the opening faceoff, particularly after Little knocked in the rebound of Tobias Enstroms shot with 42.dddddddddddd.8 seconds left in the first period. But the Wild were hit with penalties on Brodin (holding) and Kyle Brodziak (hooking) within 4 seconds of each other to set up that Jets goal, but beyond that they were nearly flawless. Winnipeg was listless at times. "I dont think we had a lot of jump," captain Andrew Ladd said. "They do a pretty good job of clogging up the neutral zone, and to get shots you have to get pucks back." Puck possession is precisely what Yeo emphasized in training camp. That was a weakness last season. The Wild have outshot their opponent in every game, including 54-19 in the second period. "Were getting good opportunities. Pucks are going to keep finding our sticks. Weve just got to bear down and put them in," left wing Zach Parise said. Yeo shuffled the lineup, moving Jason Pominville to the second line and Nino Niederreiter to the first line while sending his Cooke-led third line out to start the game. Cooke assisted on Brodins goal, taking the shot that the second-year defenceman poked in with the shaft of his stick. Then the 35-year-old left wing swooped in after a shot by Torrey Mitchell to knock a rebound under Pavelecs pad for a 2-1 lead. "We want to be at the net. We want to go at the net. We want to go to those tough areas. I want to be there as much as I can," Cooke said. Harding replaced Niklas Backstrom 12 minutes into the first period at Nashville on Tuesday night after Backstrom hurt his knee. Harding, the reigning Masterton Trophy winner after overcoming a multiple sclerosis diagnosis last year, gave up just one goal on 20 shots in 48 minutes against the Predators. He was sharp again against Winnipeg. NOTES: Little lost 19 of 20 faceoffs. ... Dustin Byfuglien had an assist for the Jets, his fifth of the season. Little has three goals, including one point in each game, and Enstrom has five assists. ... Brodin has two goals, matching his rookie total in 45 games last season.
