MONTREAL - A fine chemistry may be brewing between centre Nic Petan and winger Robby Fabbri at the world junior championship. Michael Ferland Jersey .The so-called third liners, playing mainly with Nick Paul on the other wing, piled on the goals as Canada defeated over-matched Slovakia 8-0 to open the tournament on Friday night.Fabbri had two goals and an assist, while Petan had a goal and two helpers to lead the onslaught.Points are one thing, but the way the team played the whole game, staying level headed, sticking to our game, it was good to see and good to win the game, said Fabbri, a St. Louis Blues prospect.I get switched around once in a while, but to play with Nic Petan, hes such a special player. So skilled and he works really hard. Its easy just to feed off him.A disappointing crowd of only 14,142 turned out to the Bell Centre, but those who stayed away missed a dominant performance from a Canadian side that looks strong and deep on attack.Fabbri scored twice and Anthony Duclair had the other as Canada got three goals in a 4:17 span of the first period, then added four more in the second and another in the third while owning the puck and out-shooting Slovakia 34-12.The Canadians will try to keep it going against Germany on Saturday.It helps with confidence and stuff like that, but the way were thinking is that this games over and done, said Petan. A game like that, you think its easy, but youre still working as hard as you can. It isnt like youre taking a step off the gas pedal. Youre playing the right way.Duclair, Max Domi, Jake Virtanen and Brayden Point each had a goal and an assist. Paul also scored, while Sam Reinhart and Madison Bowey had two assists each.Zach Fucale, who was barely tested, got the shutout. Eric Comrie gets the start against Germany.Coach Benoit Groulx was delighted to see goals from many sources, even if his top line of Connor McDavid, Curtis Lazar and Nick Ritchie was held off the scoresheet.It was nice to see the offence come from our third and fourth lines, said Groulx. I really feel that with our speed up front, we were able to put them on their heels.Connor, Duclair, Reinhart, they have tremendous speed and its tough to defend. And its tough when you have Brayden Point who you can put on any line and he adjusts. We have offence on every line and its up to us to find a way to bring it out, day in and day out.The Germans will no doubt play a tighter checking game in the neutral zone.Groulx said he doesnt fear complacency from his side, which is motivated by playing at home even if the rink wasnt filled to its 21,000-plus capacity.Canada didnt know what to expect from Slovakia. At last years tournament in Malmo, Sweden, they trailed the Slovaks 3-2 after two periods before storming back for a 5-3 win on two goals by Petan, one of seven players back this year.Slovakia captain Martin Reway looked shell-shocked after the defeat.Its my third year here and we always played tight games with them, said Reway, a former Gatineau Olympique now playing in the Czech Republic. We know theyre good, but I told the guys we can play with them. But we didnt play well in the first two periods.Slovakia faces Finland on Saturday.To get it started, Fabbri finished a tic-tac-toe play with Reinhart and Duclair at 4:52, Duclair took a feed from Domi alone in front and put a slick move on Denis Godla at 8:12 and Fabbri got behind the defence to take Petans pass and lift it over the Slovak goalie at 9:09.Slovakia coach Ernest Bokros called a timeout and his team played managed to hold Canada off the rest of the period.But Paul fought off a check to lift one in 6:54 into the second frame while Point one-timed Petans pass in at 11:38. That prompted a goaltending change as Godla, who stopped 18 of 23 shots, was replaced by David Okolicany.Domi beat him cleanly with a long wrist shot to the top corner on a solo rush at 16:14 and Petan walked out of the a corner with the teams each short a man and zipped one under the crossbar at 17:21.The Slovaks had one dangerous flurry early in the first period that was held off by Fucale, who wasnt threatened again until he made a big stop on Peter Cehlarik five minutes into the third.I need to stay focused no matter how many shots I get, whether I get two or 50, said Fucale. Notes — It was expected that Dillon Heatherington would be Canadas seventh defenceman, but it ended up with Samuel Morin skating sporadic shifts. . . The Slovaks got their third shot at 6:45 of the first frame and their fourth at 7:29 of the second. . . Canada opened last years tournament with a 7-2 win over Germany. Jarome Iginla Jersey . Calgary finished atop the CFL standings with a 14-4 record and earned the right to host the West Division final at McMahon Stadium on Nov. Matt Stajan Jersey . Leave it to Matt Niskanen, the newly proclaimed Eddie Haskell of the Washington Capitals. http://www.flamesauthority.com/authentic-joe-nieuwendyk-flames-jersey/ . It has been eleven years, eight months, and 261 days since I played my last CFL game.ATLANTA -- Arizona manager Kirk Gibson found no fault with Josh Collmenter after the right-hander settled down in the third inning. Collmenter gave up a career-high 11 hits, and the Diamondbacks couldnt solve Ervin Santana or the Atlanta bullpen in a 5-2 loss to the Braves on Friday night. "He went out there and did the best he could and got through six innings. We were unable to score runs," Gibson said. Freddie Freeman drove in two runs, and Santana won his second straight start for Atlanta, which stretched its winning streak to eight games. Arizona began the night tied with Houston for the most losses in the majors with 51. The Diamondbacks have lost seven of 11. "Were trying everything we can to turn around things, but its not happening," third baseman Martin Prado said. "Were trying to have good at-bats and everything. I feel like were pretty close. Theres a bunch of guys having good at-bats." After earning three victories from June 20-28, Collmenter (7-5) allowed five runs, one walk, and struck out three in six-plus innings. The Braves have won 10 of 11 to move 10 games over .500 for the first time since April 29. They lead the NL East by 1 1/2 games. Santana (7-5) gave up six hits and two runs with one walk and six strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings. The Braves made it 2-0 in the first on Freemans RBI single and Jason Heywards RBI groundout. Atlanta went up 4-1 in the third on Andrelton Simmons bases-loaded RBI single and Justin Uptons RBI walk, but Collmenter stranded the bases loaded when Heyward popped out. Collmenters night ended after Simmons led off the seventh with a double. Oliver Perez, the next Arizona pitcher, allowed another RBI single by Freeman to make it 5-1. "I wasnt missing so much up in the zone as missing over the plate, enough for them to get a piece of the ball," Collmenter said. &qquot;I just didnt capitalize on my opportunities when I could have made a pitch. Curtis Lazar Jersey. " Santana seemed in sync most of the night, but that hasnt been the case over the last few weeks. After winning 2-0 against the Cubs on May 10, Santana went 1-5 with a 5.96 ERA over his next eight starts before earning a 10-3 victory last Saturday at Philadelphia. "Everything my way is getting back again, so I just have to keep it up," Santana said. "Keep my mind positive and keep working down in the zone." Santana retired 11 straight before Didi Gregorius singled to begin the eighth. He left the game one out later when Ender Inciarte singled. After Luis Avilan retired David Peralta on an RBI forceout, Jordan Walden gave up a double to Paul Goldschmidt before striking out Miguel Montero to end the threat. In the ninth, Craig Kimbrel struck out Prado, retired Gerardo Parra on a groundout and got Nick Ahmed to fly out for his 27th save in 31 chances. Arizona cut the lead to 2-1 in the second when Prado led off with a single, moved to second and third on groundouts and scored on Santanas wild pitch. Santana didnt make many mistakes. "He was spotting," Prado said. "I saw him pretty good, but he was commanding his fastball. They took advantage of the first inning and scored a couple runs, and that was good enough for him." NOTES: Collmenter allowed 10 hits in a 6-0 loss at Detroit on June 25, 2011. ... The Braves announced a sellout with a season-high crowd of 48,815. ... Freeman, who went 2 for 4, is hitting .365 over his last 19 games. ... Atlantas bullpen has a 0.42 ERA over a span of 21 2-3 innings during the eight-game winning streak. ... Peralta went 2 for 4 and is hitting .406 over his last nine games. ... Perez had stranded 10 straight inherited runners before Freeman drove in Simmons.
