COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There may have been feelings of shock, anger and resentment when Jeff Carter discovered he had been traded from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Blue Jackets last week. nfl jerseys china . But that was last week. "Im in Columbus now," Carter said. "Im not worried about whats going on (in Philadelphia) anymore." Indeed it may take some time for everyone to believe the high-scoring centre is over his sudden deal to Columbus. But, on the surface at least, hes putting on a good face. In a conference call with Ohio media on Monday, Carter began to move forward with his new club, and in particular, his new linemate, Rick Nash. "Any time you can get a chance to play with Rick, it puts a smile on your face," Carter said. "Im excited to get out there and see what we can do together. A lot of people have been keying on him, and its not easy to do things by yourself. Im looking forward to helping him out, and helping the team out." Both could use it. Nash, a six-foot-four, 218-pound forward, has been the centrepiece of the Blue Jackets existence, and for the most part, has lived up to the billing that a No. 1 overall pick comes with. Selected in 2002, Nash has scored 30 or more goals six times, but has only led Columbus to the post-season once. The hope is that Carter can help change that. "The last eight or nine years, hes been the real focal point," Carter said of Nash. "Im excited about really letting him develop into a better player than he is now." The Blue Jackets and Flyers made a huge off-season splash last Thursday, when they finalized a long-rumoured deal that sent forward Jakub Voracek and two draft picks to Philadelphia for Carter, who scored 36 goals and was a plus-27 last year as the Flyers won the Atlantic Division. The Flyers needed to make salary-cap room for new goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, and despite the fact that Carter had been mentioned in rumours, and seemed a logical trim off the payroll, the deal still stunned many in and around the organization, including Carter. After all, Carter, 26, helped lead the Flyers to the Stanley Cup final in 2010, and seemed like part of a nucleus that could again contend for a title next season. He was a 2003 first-round pick and had scored at least 30 goals in each of the last three seasons for Philadelphia. But the six-foot-three, 200-pound forward made it clear on Monday that hes mostly interested in talking about his new team now. "You look at the lineup now, weve got a lot of young players that are going to be really good," he said. "Its still a work in progress, but I think we can be pretty good." In 2008-09, Columbus had 41 wins and 92 points, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time. They have not been back since, finishing below .500 in each of the last two seasons, registering 79 and 81 points, respectively. Its that lack of success -- and playing in the Eastern time zone as a Western Conference team -- that has helped lead to a bout with anonymity in league circles. But again, that is something Carter hopes to change. "A lot of people dont know much about us," he said. "Were still a work in progress. And if we can add a few more pieces to the puzzle, I dont see any reason why we cant contend for the playoffs this year." Cheap Cincinnati Reds Jerseys .

The Tampa Bay Rays hope that trend will continue on Saturday when they try to wrestle home-field advantage away from the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of the American League Division Series. After winning 20 games and the AL Cy Young Award a year ago, Price endured an inconsistent 2013 and ended the year 10-8 with a 3.33 ERA. The left-hander seemed to get better as the season wore on, though, and pitched to a 2.55 ERA over his final five starts. That was certainly the case on Monday when he earned a complete-game win in Texas in a one-game playoff to secure the second wild card spot for the Rays. "During the course of the game, I kept talking to (catcher Jose Molina), and he said he was getting better and better, and I could see that from the side," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "There was no way I wanted to take him out. He was outstanding. I thought his stuff kept getting better." Despite his up-and-down campaign, Price still thrived in Beantown, where he went 2-0 in three starts at Fenway and allowed just three runs in 22 1/3 innings. Hes been terrific over the course of his career there, going 6-1 with a 1.88 ERA in 10 starts. "Its just pitching against the Red Sox or pitching against a team like the Yankees, you know the history behind those franchises," Price said. "You know what theyre capable of doing. Every single year, year in, year out, they are, theyre going to be a postseason team, and you know youre going to have to come with your best. If you come with your "B" game, "B-plus" game, you have a pretty good chance to lose. "Pitching in this ballpark, pitching against that team it makes you want it just a little bit more," Price said. Tampa will need another solid effort from Price if they want to even this best-of-five set at a game apiece. In Fridays Game 1, Boston used 7 2/3 terrific innings from Jon Lester and an offensive barrage to gain the early upper hand in the American League Division Series, as it cruised to a 12-2 win. Lester (1-0) gave up solo homers to Sean Rodriguez and Ben Zobrist that stakedd Tampa Bay to an initial 2-0 edge, but yielded just one other hit and three walks before exiting to a rousing ovation with two outs in the eighth. Cheap Philadelphia 76ers Jerseys. The left-hander received ample support from his teammates, with the AL East champs shelling Rays starter Matt Moore (0-1) for eight runs -- seven earned -- and eight hits in the 17-game winners 4 1/3 innings of work. Teams have gone up 2-0 in the ALDS 22 times and advanced in 18 of them. Every Boston regular collected at least one hit, with Jarrod Saltalamacchia finishing 2-for-4 with three RBI, Shane Victorino driving in two runs on a 3- for-4 day and Jonny Gomes producing a two-run double in the rout. "Weve done that all year long," said Victorino. "Its a testament to what we do every day. We grind out at-bats. We play 27 outs." Rookie Wil Myers misplayed a fly ball off the bat of David Ortiz in the fourth inning to open the floodgates for Boston, which scored five times in the frame. "Its one of those ones I saw went up," Myers said. "I waved Desmond off. I called the ball myself. I saw it up there. Its loud out there, so a hand motion, I had the ball, I was under the ball, and I saw Des out of the corner of my eye and backed off. It was a loud crowd today. That was totally my fault. I should have taken more charge out there and caught the ball." Tampa Bays four hits in Game 1 marked its fewest in a playoff game since being held to two hits in Game 2 of the 2010 ALDS versus Texas. On Saturday Boston will hand the ball to righty John Lackey, who was tremendous in his first season back following Tommy John surgery. Lackey was only 10-13, but pitched to a 3.52 ERA and walked just 1.9 per nine innings while throwing 67 percent strikes, a career high. "Im going to be emotional," Lackey said. "Im going to be fired up." Lackey is no stranger to the postseason, as he is 3-4 with a 3.12 ERA in 14 outings (12 starts). Tampa actually beat the Red Sox in seven games back in 2008 to advance to the World Series in the only other postseason series between the clubs. This series will shift to Tropicana Field for Game 3 on Monday. ' ' '
