e playoff at the Tim Hortons Brier. \'Last night they just beat

KAMLOOPS, B. Justin Hunter Titans Jersey .C. -- Kevin Koe made a last-rock draw to the button Saturday to score a 9-8 win over Quebec in an extra end that lifted him into the final Sunday of the Canadian mens curling championship. They face John Morris and British Columbia, who had no trouble disposing of Koe Friday night in the 1-2 Page playoff at the Tim Hortons Brier. "Last night they just beat us up and down the lineup so you know I think weve got better to offer than last night," said the Alberta skip, seeking his second Brier title. "Hopefully we can play like we did today." Quebec skip Jean-Michel Menard said it was disappointing but they were happy with the way they played, including Saturday mornings win against three-time Brier champion Jeff Stoughton of Manitoba to get into the semifinal. "Were very satisfied the way we played the last five or six games," said Menard. "We played a great game this morning against Stoughton and now we gave these guys a good run today. Its disappointing because the way we were playing I thought we maybe had a sniff to win . . . The magic ran out today." Menard and third Martin Crete, second Eric Sylvain and lead Philppe Menard capitalized on Manitobas mistakes and were more in control than the 7-6 final score suggested in the earlier game. Quebec and Manitoba traded deuces in the second and third ends but mistakes in five forced Stoughton to try a hit for a single and he rolled out for a steal. "The fifth end was just a terrible combination of shots," said Stoughton, who at 50 said his team would review their future at the end of the season. "I mean we came deep on Marks draw, let em make a double, then Jon bumped ours out, then we missed the hit and roll, then I missed the double, then I missed the hit and stick for one." In the semifinal, for six ends at least, Koe played the game that eluded him twice in as many days at Brier. With near perfect draw weight, Alberta scored two in the first end, two in the third and two in the fifth. Then, up 6-4 in seven, he missed a hit for a single. He was heavy and wide, almost flashed and left a steal of two for Jean-Michel Menard and Quebec to tie it up. "Wed played great to get up to get up three and just to give it up with one bad shot is not ideal for sure," said Koe. A point in eight and a steal in nine gave him an 8-6 lead coming home but Menard made a last-rock double in 10 to force the extra end. Koe used the hammer to score the winner with his last rock. Quebec will meet Stoughton for bronze Sunday morning. Menard opened the Brier at 3-4 and made an amazing run to get in to the playoffs from fourth place, capped by a win over Alberta in their final round-robin game Friday. Menard scored a deuce in the second but said many shots just didnt go their way the first few ends. "But we hung in tight and made a nice deuce in the 10th end," he said. In the 11th, Menard said they thought it was a tough draw for Koe because of the frosty ice conditions in the warm building. "A little more weight and he could have slid across the house but he did a good job and put it right on the lid." Attendance has been good the last few days at Interior Savings centre but appears headed for numbers in the mid 60,000 range, that would amount to about half the figure at the last Brier in Kamloops in 1996. Justin Hunter Womens Jersey . The Jets jumped into a quick 2-0 lead in the first on goals by Zach Bogosian (3rd) and Devin Setoguchi (9th) 1:05 apart. Toby Enstrom and Andrew Ladd drew assists on the Bogosian goal, a point shot that seemed to dip and get by former Moose goaltender Eddie Lack. Wesley Woodyard Jersey .

"Trust me, believe, connect with the team," Poyet said after signing a two-year contract.Team USA and Predators general manager David Poile is expected to return to work in Nashville next week as he continues to recover from injuries suffered when he was hit by an errant puck at practice on Feb. 6. Poile suffered a fractured orbital bone and fractures in his nose when he was hit during Nashvilles morning skate in Minnesota nearly two weeks ago. He had two surgeries that afternoon and returned home to Nashville three days later. The team said on Tuesday that Poile had another eye-related procedure at Vanderbilt Medical Center last Friday. The injuries prevented him from attending the Sochi Olympics, but he has been in contact with Ray Shero and USA Hockey during the Games. &qquot;I know that I have a challenging road ahead, but am going to embrace the challenge and am eager to get back to work," Poile said in a statement. Warren Moon Womens Jersey.

Thanks also to all those in Nashville and throughout the hockey community who have reached out to offer support and encouragement. It has been uplifting and most appreciated. Im looking forward to watching USAs quest for the Gold Medal in Sochi and the Predators resuming the playoff race." cheap jerseys from china cheap jerseys ' ' '
