TORONTO -- It didnt take long for Auston Matthews to make an impact at the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp.The prized first overall selection skated with his new teammates for the first time Wednesday morning after a six-day break following the World Cup of Hockey. Following the formal portion of practice, Matthews shattered a pane of glass with a shot.It was a terrible shot, too, Matthews said. It wasnt even hard, just happened to hit the right spot, I guess, and shattered the whole thing.We were just messing around. It was me, [Mitch] Marner, [Andrew] Nielsen, the last guys on the ice, we were just taking shots and [I] missed the net, broke the glass.Matthews, 19, was asked whether hed have to pay for the repairs.Yeah probably. Lou [Lamoriello] wont be too happy, he joked, referring to the Maple Leafs general manager.Mike Babcock has said Matthews will start the season as the Leafs third-line center. On Wednesday, he skated on a line with James van Riemsdyk and Leo Komarov. He also saw power-play time alongside Milan Michalek and Dmytro Timashov.Matthews, who is from Scottsdale, Arizona, believes the experience of playing in Toronto during the World Cup of Hockey will help with the transition to the NHL.It helps a lot, it makes a difference, said Matthews, who spent last season in Switzerland. Just having that [comfort of] playing in front of Toronto fans, getting a chance to play at that rink heading into the preseason, I think it definitely gives you some confidence.My mindset the whole time was go in [to the World Cup] and get better and learn as much as I could. Going into it, I knew I could play at that level.Matthews had two goals and added an assist in three round-robin games.His performance with the under-23 Team North America was punctuated by a highlight-reel deke from his knees around Daniel Sedin where he set up teammate Morgan Rielly for a shot and then finished it off by putting home the rebound for the games first goal in a 4-3 overtime win against Sweden.Hes a pass-first guy in my opinion, but hes got a great shot, Rielly said. Hes a mature young man. Hes had an opportunity to play pro and with older guys. Its not like hes coming right out of junior. The adjustment will be easier for him just because of the environment he was in last year.Bobby Okereke Youth Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Rock Ya-Sin Jersey . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence. Having two big pieces back is going to be a key for us moving forward for years to come," said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. http://www.officialindianapoliscoltspro.com/Reggie-wayne-colts-jersey/ .

Peyton Manning Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Reggie Wayne Youth Jersey . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early.WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forests guards did what theyre supposed to do -- make shots, take care of the ball and pass it to teammates who can score. The result: Another lopsided win to open the season.Keyshawn Woods scored 22 points with five of Wake Forests 13 3-pointers in a 94-74 win over Bucknell on Sunday.John Collins added 19 points and Mitchell Wilbekin had 13 to help the Demon Deacons (2-0) sweep a short, season-opening homestand, with this win coming less than 48 hours after a 21-point rout of Radford.Dinos Mitoglou finished with 11 points and Austin Arians had 10 for Wake Forest, which shot 50 percent both from the field and behind the arc, while matching a high for 3-pointers under third-year coach Danny Manning. The Demon Deacons also made 13 in a loss at Virginia Tech last January .Youre not going to shoot 50 percent from the 3-point line on a regular basis, Manning said. Were going to have to make shots throughout the course of the year to have success.Another stat may have thrilled him even more: Wake Forests four guards -- Bryant Crawford, Brandon Childress, Woods and Wilbekin -- combined for 16 assists and no turnovers. Eight of those assists belonged to Crawford.Ill take that every game, Manning said.Zach Thomas scored 16 points and Kimbal Mackenzie finished with 15 for the Bison (1-1), who shot 45 percent and clawed back into the game by turning 15 offensive rebounds into 22 second-chance points.Manning has said this is the best outside shooting team hes had in Winston-Salem, and it was hard to argue against that while the Demon Deacons made seven of their first nine 3-pointers to put Bucknell in an early hole.After the Bison pulled within single digits for the final time early in the second half, Wake Forest hit three more 3s in the span of four possessions -- including a four-point play by Arians -- to build a comfortable lead it wouldnt give back.ddddddddddddEvery time we made a mistake, and sometimes when we didnt, they made it, Bucknell coach Nathan Davis said.BIG PICTUREBucknell: Though they still havent beaten a team in the Atlantic Coast Conference at the time since 1961, the Bison showed signs that they will be a factor in the Patriot League race with a knack for getting to loose balls and turning them into buckets. But fouls were a problem for the Bison, who had two players pick up their fourth fouls in the first half. Davis said his team showed a lot of character in clawing back from 16 points down and had a chance to make it interesting.Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons took care of business this weekend with those two easy wins to get them prepared for even bigger challenges at the Charleston Classic -- where well surely learn more about what this teams ceiling ultimately is. Defending national champion Villanova likely awaits in a later round.STAT SHEETWake Forest was 23 of 29 from the free-throw line while Bucknell was just 5 of 9.TIP-INSBucknell fell to 11-52 against current ACC members with nine of those wins coming against Pittsburgh -- all before the Panthers joined their new league. ...
