With another World Junior Championship done, and the title back in Canada, it is time to take a look at the six Winnipeg Jets draft picks that played in the event. Three Jets prospects were on Team Canada and all contributed. In goal, Eric Comrie played two games and won both, one with a shutout. He finished the tournament with a 1.50 GAA and a .933% save percentage. Hockey Canada has such faith in Comrie and Zach Fucale that they were the only two goaltenders in the mix prior to the evaluation camp. Comrie played the New Year’s Eve game against the U.S., with the win assuring a first place finish for Canada in the ‘A’ pool. Nic Petan started the tournament at centre and ended up on left wing. His biggest offensive output came in the semi-final game against Slovakia, when he scored three goals but could have had five or six. It was his power-play goal that opened the scoring in Canada’s 5-1 win. A four goal night would have tied Petan for the most goals in a game by a Canadian player, joining a group that includes Brayden Schenn, Mario Lemieux and Simon Gagne. Petan finished tied with teammates Sam Reinhart and Connor McDavid for the scoring lead in the tournament with 11 points on four goals and seven assists. In his two appearances at the Championship, Petan has 16 points. He is in his fourth full year with the Portland Winter Hawks where he has also put up big numbers. In the 2012-13 season, Petan led the league in scoring at with 46 goals and 120 points and followed that up with 113 points (35 goals) in 63 games the next year. He has played in 71 WHL playoff games, including seven as a 15-year-old call-up, 22 as a 16-year-old, and 21 games in each of the past two seasons. Petan has 56 playoff points in 42 playoff games over the past two years. Defenceman Josh Morrissey was so good in the tournament that he was selected to the All-Star team. It has been an interesting few months for him. Last spring, he joined the St. John’s Ice-Caps for their playoff run and was instrumental in the team making it all the way to the league championship. There was some disappointment after training camp when he was returned to the Prince Albert Raiders but he simply continued to work on making his game better. In December, the Raiders made the decision that it was time to rebuild and dealt Morrissey to the powerhouse Kelowna Rockets – very much a Memorial Cup contender and an organization that has developed many defencemen into very good NHL players. Another added bonus for Morrissey going to Kelowna was that he will get to play with his younger brother Jake, who is a goaltender for the Rockets. “We are getting arguably the best defenceman in the WHL,” said Rockets General Manager Bruce Hamilton after the trade. “I think we’ve done something very good for our hockey club.” Prior to the gold medal game, Hamilton, who was also on the selection committee for Team Canada, continued his praise of Morrissey. “He has played very well in this tournament. His game is very good at the moment. He has not tried to do too much here. He has kept his game simple. With that I mean very few instances where he has pinched and got caught. He has done a solid job of getting pucks to the net both on the power play and five on five. We have been very happy with his play up to this point. And a quality young man also.” Those watching the tournament also saw the physical side of his game. Morrissey finished the tournament with four points and was a plus nine, including being a plus two in the final against Russia. “Morrissey is the back bone of the Canadian blue line,” said TSN game analyst Ray Ferraro. Chase De Leo was part of a U.S. team that saw its tournament run come to an end with a quarterfinal loss to Russia. It was an earlier exit than expected, but De Leo had a good tournament. He had some chances and did score the shootout winner against Finland. Like Petan, he plays for the Portland Winter Hawks and has been in 64 playoff games in three years. Last season, De Leo scored 39 goals in the WHL. De Leo and Comrie share more in common than being Jets prospects. The friends both grew up in California and signed this agreement when they were younger: Pledge to do whatever it takes to play in the NHL, together or against each other, and be the best of friends until the end. With both being drafted by the Jets, the opportunity for this to happen is very much there. Jan Kostalek played defence for the Czech Republic. Like the entire team, he had some good games and some average games. Kostalek has a good shot and makes a good first pass. The Czech Republic’s best game was in their final round robin contest, when a loss would have meant playing relegation games to qualify for next year’s tournament, while a regulation win would secure second place in Group B. Kostalek had a goal in that game, and with their backs to the wall, the Czech Republic came up with an impressive victory over Russia to make the quarterfinals. It was his best game and he finished the tournament with a goal, two assists and a plus three rating. The player that caught everyone’s eye at the event was Nik Ehlers, the Jets first round pick last summer. If there was a fan’s choice award, Denmark would have won it hands down. They were the underdog, winning a qualifying tournament in Poland to get to the tourament and were an exciting team to watch. Ehlers finished with a goal and three points, including a shootout goal in a big win over Switzerland, the country’s first championship tournament win in 16 tries. Ehlers showed his breakaway speed, his great hands and his creativity on a regular basis. All six players now return to their junior teams until they reconvene at Jets camp, whether it be at the summer development camp or rookie camp. Jets notes – The biggest news is that the injury list is shorter. Zach Bogosian returned on Thursday after missing 14 games, playing 18:56 and paired with Jay Harrison. Mark Stuart and Toby Enstrom are on the trip and skated hard yesterday after the morning skate. If all goes well, they may return for Sunday’s game against Anaheim. That leaves Jacob Trouba and Grant Clitsome as the injured defencemen, with Clitsome out long-term after having a second back surgery on Thursday. Trouba has yet to start skating with the team. Evander Kane’s return is still unknown after feeling some discomfort during Thursday’s skate. The Jets now head into a very difficult part of the schedule. Starting in Thursday’s loss to Arizona, the team will play seven games in 11 days, ending with a home game against those same Coyotes on January 18. The loss in Arizona was the worst game the team played, according to head coach Paul Maurice. It was an effort not seen from the Jets for some time. Discipline continues to be an issue for Winnipeg, as the team still leads the NHL in shorthanded situations. Tim Wright Jersey .S. Thanksgiving coming on Thursday, here are a handful of reasons -- beyond Thursday afternoon football -- to be thankful: Lions RB Kevin Smith - It looked like his career was pretty much done after ripping up his knee, but then he emerged from the scrap heap to go for more than 200 yards from scrimmage against Carolina last week. Chandler Jones Patriots Jersey . -- Ryan Nelsen lost his first outing as a manager but saw plenty of positives Saturday as Toronto FC dropped a 1-0 pre-season Major League Soccer decision to the Columbus Crew at the Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic. http://www.footballpatriotsfanatics.com/authentic-tim-wright -patriots-jersey/ .A. Dickey, Ichiro Suzuki joined one of baseballs most exclusive groups: the 4,000 hit club. Aaron Dobson Womens Jersey . Napoli hit a grand slam right after Ortiz got a free stroll, Felix Doubront stifled the Yankees once again and the Boston Red Sox sent New York to its sixth loss in seven games, 11-1 Saturday night. Kevin Faulk Jersey . -- Whether the track is bumpy, smooth, icy, or fluffy, Dominique Maltais is a contender on all snowboard courses.OAKLAND, Calif. -- During a players meeting following the All-Star break, Jermaine ONeal promised his teammates to play the rest of the regular season like he would never play again -- because he very well might not. The 18-year NBA veteran has backed up his words more than anybody ever expected. ONeal had season highs of 23 points and 13 rebounds to carry the load for an undermanned frontcourt, and the Golden State Warriors held off the Brooklyn Nets 93-86 Saturday night for their third straight victory since the break. "Whatever I have, Im going to leave it on the able. Ive said that quite a few times, but Im dead serious," said the 36-year-old ONeal, who missed extensive time following surgery on his wrist earlier this season. "You may have to wheel me out of here at the end of the season, but thats what Im going to do." With Andrew Bogut sidelined with a left shoulder injury and David Lee out with a stomach flu, ONeal followed up his game-saving block that preserved Golden States overtime victory against Houston on Thursday night with a vintage performance. ONeal shot 10 for 13 from the floor, and Draymond Green scored a career-best 18 points to go with 10 rebounds starting in Lees place. Stephen Curry banked in a big 3-pointer in the final minute to finish with 17 points, and the Warriors won three games in a row for the first time since the Nets ended their 10-game winning streak on Jan. 8 in Brooklyn -- crediting ONeal for leading the way in the locker room and on the court. "Hes getting an opportunity to put a stamp on what he says," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "Its no longer what he says, its what hes doing." The veteran Nets never matched the intensity. Deron Williams had 20 points and six assists, and Joe Johnson scored 15 points for Brooklyn, which struggled to shoot from 3-point range and was just as careless passing. Brooklyn made just 2 of 21 attempts from beyond the arc and committed 16 turnovers. "I thought we had a lot of good shots, they just didnt fall," said Nets forward Paul Pierce, who scored 11 points on 3-for-11 shooting. "Sometimes you live by the 3, you die by the 3. We should attack more, especially with them limited in their big men." The Nets made sure the game moved at a plodding pace untill the final minutes.dddddddddddd Johnson made an 18-foot fadeaway to tie the score at 84 with 2:22 remaining. Green followed with two free throws, then Andray Blatche converted a tying layup. ONeal drew a foul on the other end and hit two free throws -- getting another chance after missing his second attempt because of a hitch in his release that drew a lane violation -- to give Golden State an 88-86 lead. On Brooklyns next possession, Johnsons pass was deflected before hitting Williams hands and landing out of bounds. Curry quickly came back by banking in a 3-pointer to put the Warriors up 91-86 with 37 seconds remaining and put the game out of reach. The win moved the Warriors (34-22) a season-high 12 games over .500. They begin a six-game road trip -- all against Eastern Conference opponents -- at Detroit on Monday. Golden States smaller lineup gave the Nets fits from the start. Curry hit two 3-pointers during an 18-6 run to open the game. Brooklyns slow start compounded when Shaun Livingston left in the first quarter with a bruised tailbone after falling hard when he was fouled by Harrison Barnes going for a layup. The team said X-rays on Livingston were negative. Just like they did in Brooklyn, though, the Nets rallied from an early deficit against Golden States second unit. Brooklyn took the lead for the first time when Williams started a three-point play on a layup over Andre Iguodala, putting the Nets up 46-44 late in the second quarter. They never led again. "Even though we didnt shoot the ball extremely well from behind the arc, it was a game until the last minute," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "On the road against a team like Golden State, thats all you can ask for." NOTES: Green said he was in an accident driving to the game, but that no one was injured. ... Nets G Marcus Thornton sat out with a stomach illness. He has yet to play since being traded from Sacramento on Wednesday for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans. ... Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Bogut, who missed his seventh straight game because of an ailing left shoulder, will likely return at some point during the Warriors six-game road trip. ... The Warriors signed C Hilton Armstrong to a 10-day contract, calling him from the teams NBA Development League affiliate in Santa Cruz. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys from china ' ' '
