The annual international womens hockey tournament also features the United States, Finland and Sweden. You can catch Canadas 2014 Four Nations Cup opening match against Sweden, Tuesday at 10pm et/7pm pt on TSN1, TSN4 and TSN5. Canadas first opponent is Sweden. The top two teams in the preliminary round meet in Saturdays final at the Interior Savings Centre. Here are five things to know about the Four Nations Cup: — When Canada and the U.S. square off in the preliminary round Wednesday, it will be their first meeting since the dramatic Olympic gold-medal game in Sochi, Russia. Trailing 2-0, the Canadians scored twice in the last four minutes and again in overtime to rescue the gold medal. The Americans hit the post on what could have been an empty-net winner with just over a minute to go. Canada has 10 players at the Four Nations from its Olympic roster, while the Americans are taking a dozen Sochi veterans to Kamloops. — Canada lost a premier player just a week out from the Four Nations. Marie-Philip Poulin of Beauceville, Que., who scored the equalizer with 55 seconds left and the overtime winner in the Sochi gold-medal game, wont play in Kamloops because of an undisclosed injury. The Boston University captain was hurt in a Terriers game against Maine. Brianne Jenner of Oakville, Ont., who scored the first goal of the comeback in Sochi, replaced Poulin on the host teams roster. — Caroline Ouellette, Hayley Wickenheiser and Jayna Hefford were among the warhorses Hockey Canada left at home to start grooming a new generation of leaders. Haley Irwin of Thunder Bay, Ont., will be Canadas captain in Kamloops. Rebecca Johnston of Sudbury, Ont., Lauriane Rougeau of Beaconsfield, Que., and Torontos Natalie Spooner will be assistant captains. — Jamie Lee Rattray leads 10 players in their debut with the national team. The Ottawa forward capped her final season at Clarkson by winning the Patty Kazmaier Award as the top player in NCAA Division 1 womens hockey. She now plays in the Canadian Womens Hockey League for Brampton. Forward Jillian Saulnier of Halifax was a finalist for the Kazmaier award and is in her senior year with Cornell. — Finland finished out of the medals in Sochi, but took their greatest strides yet in closing the gap on Canada and the U.S. For the first time, they engaged the North Americans at both ends of the ice instead of relying on defence and a lucky goal. The Finns fell 3-1 to the U.S. and 3-0 to Canada in Sochi. A quarter-final loss to Sweden kept them from a semifinal rematch with the U.S., but Finland has what it takes to challenge for world gold.

Inter Milan Yann Karamoh Jersey .com) - Stephen Currys jumper with 3. http://www.cheapintermilanjersey.com/?tag=inter-milan-stefan-de-vrij-jersey .ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen, NFL Editor Ben Fisher, and Isaac Owusu discuss three hot fantasy football topics. A team with a couple of top tier forwards, the Anaheim Ducks generally provide depth and upside value for fantasy owners. Top Picks: Its not surprise that C Ryan Getzlaf and RW Corey Perry are the two prime picks for the Ducks. They are the franchise cornerstones, links to their Stanley Cup win and anchors on the teams top line. Perry holds more relative value, generally, because the depth of talent at right wing isnt the same as centre. In leagues that count penalty minutes, Perry remains a viable first-round pick. Even if his MVP season is somewhat of an anomaly, over the last six seasons, Perry is the only player in the league with at least 180 goals, 360 points and 400 penalty minutes. Getzlaf has been a point-per-game centre for five of the last six seasons, but his 2011-2012 season was a dud and he missed 31 games in the two years before, so he doesnt come without flaws. Nevertheless, hes a good bet as a low-end No. 1, top tier No. 2 centre. Value Plays: When it comes to the rest of the Ducks, enthusiasm needs to be tempered. We all love RW Teemu Selanne. Hes had a wonderful career and is by all accounts a wonderful guy, but he also had six goals and one assist (!) in his last 33 regular season games last season, so hes a long way from his most productive days and with a decreasing role, the 43-year-old is worth consideration in deep leagues. D Francois Beauchemin had a career year and finished the season playing on a torn ACL, but keep it in perspective: hes 33-years-old and last seasons plus-19 was the first time since 2006-2007 that he finished with a plus rating. Hes also going to be missing his defence partner, Sheldon Souray, for the first couple months of the season after Souray suffered an injury while training this summer. Goaltenders Viktor Fasth and Jonas Hiller are coming off strong seasons, but they cut into each others value because as long as both remain healthy, its hard to imagine a dramatic split in thhe workload. Inter Milan Keita Balde Jersey. Forced to choose, give a slight edge to Fasth, who was better last season, even though hes 31 and has 25 games of NHL experience. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Looking for upside plays, check out the left wingers. Jakob Silfverberg is a right winger, but should have an opportunity to play the left side with Getzlaf and Perry, a plum position that can make just about anyone more appealing. Silfverberg had a decent rookie season, but his pedigree and ability to generate shots on goal in his first NHL campaign suggest that there should be more production coming. Dustin Penner Kyle Palmieri has 15 goals and 29 points in 70 career NHL games, and has 46 goals and 83 points in 84 AHL games over the last couple seasons, so he knows what to do with the puck in the offensive zone. It has to be a deep league to consider taking a winger that had two goals in 33 games last season, but Dustin Penner is a five-time 20-goal scorer. If the 30-year-old ends up on a scoring line, he could warrant consideration. Rookies: There arent a lot of openings for Ducks rookies, but Sourays injury may make it easier for undersized Finnish D Sami Vatanen to earn a regular turn on the blueline. Vatanen was stellar in Finland and made a smooth transition to North America, putting up 45 points in 62 AHL games. With regular playing time, including time on the power play, he could put up some decent numbers. The 15th pick in 2009, Peter Holland has six points in 25 career games, but 105 points in 119 AHL games does suggest that he might be able to fill a scoring role in the NHL. With Saku Koivu and Nick Bonino behind Getzlaf on the depth chart, Holland could still have a shot at the second-line centre job or he could be left battling for a spot in the lineup.
