OTTAWA -- The head of the International Ice Hockey Federation believes the 2013 womens world hockey championship has been competitive enough to satisfy the International Olympic Committee. Cheap NFL Jerseys . IOC president Jacques Rogge said at the conclusion of the 2010 Winter Olympic womens hockey tournament that "we cannot continue without improvement." Five womens games at those Olympics were won by nine goals or more. Rogges implied threat to boot womens hockey out of the Games if the scores didnt get closer galvanized the IIHF into putting more resources into the female game. IIHF president Rene Fasel doesnt believe womens hockey is at risk in the Winter Olympics. "I dont think there will be a problem there," Fasel said at the womens world championship. "I cannot imagine that an IOC president would kick womens hockey out of the program. I cant imagine that. But you never know. They get kicked wrestling out, so ..." The IOC hasnt officially eliminated wrestling from the Summer Games menu, but the IOCs executive committee has recommended that sport be dropped in 2020. Heading into Tuesdays medal games of the last womens world championship before the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, only one game had a goal differential of more than nine goals. Canada beat Switzerland 13-0 in the preliminary round. But fewer embarrassing scores is also due to a new tournament format in which the bottom two countries in the preliminary round never meet the top two countries in the tournament. After not winning a single game at the 2012 womens world championship, Russia will play Finland for bronze Tuesday. The Swiss women won bronze in 2012 for its first medal. Sweden, the 2006 Olympic silver medallist, dropped to seventh at this world championship, so there is movement now behind the U.S. and Canada. Fasel doesnt expect the gap between the North Americans and the rest of the world to close in Sochi, but believe it could happen four years after that in Pyeonchang. "Our goal is to be more competitive in (South) Korea in 2018," he said. "We need that time to go there." Coming out of 2010, the IIHF committed (C$2.1 million) two million Swiss francs to a plan to grow the female game worldwide. "It was a little shot from Jacques to us but I am happy because it gave me the opportunity and the federation that we spend an extra two million Swiss francs for the womens program and it was good," Fasel said Monday. One element of that plan was a mentorship program in which players and coaches from countries with more developed womens hockey programs are sounding boards and sources of information for their counterparts trying to close the gap on them. Coaching mentors and player ambassadors from the top four countries of Canada, the U.S., Sweden and Finland were assigned to assist coaches and players in nine other countries. Canadian captain Hayley Wickenheiser and Hockey Canadas head female scout Melody Davidson are the lead player ambassador and coach mentor, respectively. Fasel says he would like to see the field increase from eight to 10 womens teams in the Winter Olympics in the future. Cheap Ottawa Senators Jerseys .

Theres also that matter of Justin Verlander, who will start the third game for the Tigers. Given how he pitched in two starts Division Series starts against Oakland, the task will be a tall one for the Bostonians on Tuesday regardless of Sundays result. Lets digress, not get too far ahead of ourselves, and look at whats on tap in the immediate. The Red Sox had better take that approach because, before Verlander, theyre up against the presumptive favourite to win this years American League Cy Young award, Max Scherzer. GAME 2 PREVIEW: PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RHP Max Scherzer (Regular season: 21-3, 2.90, 0.970 WHIP; Playoffs: 2-0, 3.00, 1.111 WHIP) 2013 vs. Boston: 1-1, 2.57, 1.000 WHIP, 14K in 14 innings pitched. Scherzer on facing the Red Sox: "Well, theyre just a great team. They can grind ABs out, they dont chase a lot. They foul off pitches. Really, it all comes down to, you can mention all those things theyre very good at, it comes down to attacking the hitters and making sure Im working ahead in count. Ive got to be 1 2 before Im 2 1. All the simple things in pitching. If I dont do that, its going to make it extremely uphill battle for me. If I feel like Im working ahead in the count, I feel like I can be successful. And thats the recipe for success." Toughest matchup: David Ortiz, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jacoby Ellsbury have a history of success against Scherzer. Ortiz in 15 AB: .467/.556/.1.133, 3 HR, 1 2B, 6 RBI, 3 BB. Saltalamacchia in 12 AB: .417/.417/.667, 1 HR, 2 RBI. Ellsbury in 9 AB: .556/.667/1.000, 1 HR, 1 2B, 5 RBI, 3 BB. Interesting note: Scherzer, the 11th overall pick in the 2006 draft (Diamondbacks,) and teammates Austin Jackson and Phil Coke were acquired in the same three-way trade, from different clubs. The deal went down on December 8, 2009, with the centerpiece of the deal being the Yankees acquisition of Curtis Granderson from Detroit. Scherzer and reliever Daniel Schlereth were acquired by the Tigers from Arizona, while the Yankees shipped Jackson and Coke to Detroit. Wholesale NFL Jerseys. The Tigers sent Edwin Jackson to Arizona in the deal. The Diamondbacks also acquired Ian Kennedy from New York. Got all that? Red Sox RHP Clay Buchholz (Regular season: 12-1, 1.74, 1.025 WHIP; Playoffs: 0-0, 4.50, 1.667 WHIP) Did not face Detroit in 2013. Buchholz missed three months (June 9-September 9) with a neck injury. Toughest matchup: There is no Tiger whos faced Buchholz often and had significant success. Here are the numbers of the four Detroit players whove seen Buchholz the most. Torii Hunter (24 AB .167/.286/.250, 2 2B, 4 BB, 4K. Miguel Cabrera (21 AB .238/.320/.333, 2 2B, 3 RBI, 3 BB, 3 K. Austin Jackson (19 AB .263/.333/.526, 1 HR, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 4K. Jhonny Peralta (17 AB .294/.316/.412, 2 2B, 7 RBI, 4 K. Of the active players on the Tigers playoff roster, only Jackson and Andy Dirks (1) have hit home runs off Buchholz. LINEUP CONSIDERATIONS: Up 1-0 in the eighth inning of Game 1, Tigers manager Jim Leyland held his nose and replaced Miguel Cabrera with Ramon Santiago at third base. Its a tough decision to take your best hitter out of a close game but considering Cabreras groin issues, Leyland felt he had no choice. "I wasnt comfortable doing that, particularly in this ballpark with a 1 0 lead," said Leyland. "We know were handicapped a little bit because of our situation. I think the biggest key in that situation was the two guys that they had coming up to lead off that inning were Victorino and Pedroia. Both are excellent baseball players, both smart. Victorino could have dropped the bunt down on Miggy. Pedroia could have dropped a bunt on Miggy. We felt like that was the best way to go." GAME 2 PREDICTION: This is an absolute must-win for Boston. The Red Sox, with their scraggly beards and grind-it-out approach, will muster the will to bounce back from being one-hit. Buchholz and Scherzer pitch great games but the Red Sox prevail, 3-2, sending us to Detroit with the series even 1-1. ' ' '
