Some will continue to argue the womens hockey tournament at the 2014 Winter Olympics remains a two-team race between Canada and the United States. Lee Nguyen Jersey . That may indeed be the case, but Finland threw a mighty scare into Team Canada on Monday. The Finns matched Canadas speed and were the more aggressive team through the first two periods, but Canadas offence took control in the third period scoring three goals, blanking Finland 3-0. Canada outshot Finland 27-10 through 40 minutes, but couldnt beat goaltender Noora Raty. Meghan Agosta-Marciano finally gave Canada a 1-0 lead on its fourth power pay of the game when she drilled a slap shot to the top corner at 9:27 of the third period. That was followed by a goal by another veteran, Jayna Hefford, who deked two Finnish defenders and then fired a high shot from in tight. Late in the third Rebecca Johnston scored her second goal of the 2014 Olympics, converting a three-on-one. Finland has finished third or fourth at every Olympics and World Championship tournament since it began international play, so the Canadians knew they were in for a tough game. "They just never give up," said Canadian forward Brianne Jenner. "They are a hard-working team and they clog the middle of the ice. We knew that coming in so our game plan was to not be impatient and stick with what we wanted to do and it turned out that it worked in the third period." Kellyn Acosta Jersey . Rajne Soderberg, the director of the Stockholm Diamond League event, said in an email Friday that the ban still holds. Euromeetings, the organization representing Europes top track events, "will continue to recommend that members do not invite athletes who we believe cause disrepute to our meetings and our sport. Geoff Cameron Jersey . During the furious first few hours of free agency Tuesday, the team agreed to terms with strong safety Donte Whitner, a Cleveland native who cant wait to play in his hometown. http://www.usasoccerauthority.com/alejandro-bedoya-usa-jersey/ . Anderson is scheduled to have neck surgery April 8 to repair the injury, which occurred when he collided with the Celtics Gerald Wallace during a game in Boston on Jan. 3. The 6-foot-10 Pelicans forward, who had been averaging 19.PHOENIX - A rookie who probably wont play in the Super Bowl could help the New England Patriots win it.By the time the game starts Sunday night, Jimmy Garoppolo will have done his primary job of preparing the teams defence by imitating speedy Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson in practice.Ive had to get a lot faster real fast, Garoppolo said with a smile.Drafted in the second round out of Eastern Illinois, he threw just 27 passes as Tom Bradys backup. His behind-the-scenes role has been much more valuable to the team preparing to face the defending champion Seahawks.When we play quarterbacks like were going to see this weekend, thats a huge role for us, defensive co-ordinator Matt Patricia said. This is definitely a kind of unsung hero job.It also was a new one for Garoppolo.As a college star, he didnt play on the scout team. So when he joined the Patriots he had to start from the beginning. As the season progressed, so did he.He met on Tuesdays with defensive coaches. He imitated the skills and quirks of quarterbacks as diverse as pocket passers Peyton Manning and Kyle Orton and more mobile quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck.Ive been, what is it, 18 different quarterbacks? Garoppolo said. You just try to do the best you can for the defence Youre trying to give them a look and, at the same time, perfect your craft.The more time running plays in practice, even on the scout team, the more experience a player has that should help him when he gets into the game. Even if he never does, it can be rewarding.Jim Miller didnt play as a backup to Brady during the 2004 season. But he enthusiastically ran the scout team and ended up with a Super Bowl ring.Hed get in the huddle every single day and be like, all right, guys. You love football. Lets go, said Patricia, who ran the scout team at the time. And it just set the right tone for everybody to go out and practice extremely hard.Garoppolo may not have much to do on game days, but hes had to learn how to manage his time during the week. Matt Miazga Jersey. He studies opposing quarterbacks in film sessions so he can help the defence and still has to prepare to play if Brady gets hurt or comes out of the game during a blowout.Hes been practice player of the week for us a number of weeks, probably couldve been more, for the look that he gives the defence, coach Bill Belichick said.From one week to the next, Garoppolo must forget the tendencies of one quarterback and learn those of another.The next quarterbacks cadence, habits at the line of scrimmage and amount of time he tries to throw to his primary receiver before dumping the ball off to another are part of Garoppolos imitations.Does the opponent use an up-tempo offence or huddle after most plays?The better Garoppolo can copy the opposing quarterback, the better chance a defence has to stop him in a game.There have definitely been a couple of times when its like, hey, they did the exact same thing to me in practice. Its paying off, he said.Previous quarterbacks who ran the Patriots scout team were Matt Cassel, Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett. All moved on to other teams.But when the Patriots took Garoppolo so early in the draft, he was seen as a more likely heir apparent to the 37-year-old starter, even though Brady has said hed like to play into his 40s.Meanwhile, Garoppolo is doing more for the Patriots defence than for their offence.This week, he helped it prepare for Wilson, a dual threat and a Super Bowl champion.It takes you a little out of your comfort zone, thats for sure, Garoppolo said, but Im an athlete. Ill make do.His defensive teammates certainly appreciate that.Hes given us a great look, whether hes dropping back and trying to make a play, whether its being zone read and running, safety Devin McCourty said. Obviously, were not going to get Russell Wilson in practice but we got a good showing of what we could see on Sunday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
