I was pretty emotional, but I tried to keep it
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Patrick Kane and Joe Pavelski each had a goal and an assist to help the United States beat Canada 4-2 on Friday night in an exhibition game before the World Cup of Hockey.There were plenty of scrums, hard hits and bad blood.When the U.S. plays Canada youre going to get that type of game whether its an exhibition, preliminary game, semifinal or final, Kane said. Youre going to find yourself in that situation in this rivalry.The teams will play again Saturday night in Ottawa, Ontario.U.S. forward Ryan Kesler was ejected late in the second period for boarding Shea Weber. In the third period, Pavelskis check sent along the boards sent Claude Giroux out of the game. There also was a melee in front of Canadas bench in the first period.There were lots of scrums tonight, Canada coach Mike Babcock said. They were generated by the players. The referees can clean that up in 2 seconds. All youve got to do is put people in the box. No more scrums.Jonathan Quick made 32 saves in the first two periods, and Ben Bishop stopped nine shots in the third. Zach Parise and Derek Stepan also scored for the Americans.Its nice to get off to a good start whether its a pretournament game or not, Pavelski said. Its nice to get a little confidence with the puck and make some plays.Carey Price, playing for first time since a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee ended his season for the Montreal Canadiens on Nov. 25, had 22 saves for Canada.Patrice Bergeron and Drew Doughty scored for Canada.Price had nothing to do early as the Canadians held a 12-1 shots advantage through the first 12 minutes. The momentum shifted shortly after the first U.S. penalty kill and the Americans held an 18-15 shots advantage after the first to go along with a 2-0 lead.Parise opened the scoring when he skated though the low slot to redirect Ryan Suters shot with 3:04 left. Kane, the NHLs leading scorer and most valuable player last season, doubled the lead 1:05 later. He took a pass down low and fired on Price from a bad angle. Price made the save, but Kane scored off the rebound.We give up a few chances right at the end of shifts so we were trying to make some plays a little too pretty, Canadas Jonathan Toews said.Bergeron made it 2-1 midway through the second when he converted a rebound off Sidney Crosbys shot.Pavelski restored the two-goal lead with 4:06 to go in the period. Price made the initial stop on Jack Johnson but Pavelski scored on the rebound.It was tough to come out of the zone, Pavelski said. The guys played hard, worked through it. It was a good win for us. There was some intensity.Doughty made it 3-2 at 5:31 of the third with a slap shot from the right circle.Game notes Crosbys head coach in Pittsburgh, Mike Sullivan, is an assistant with the United States ... Healthy scratches for the U.S. were Cory Schneider, defenseman Erik Johnson and forward James van Riemsdyk. Canadian scratches were goalie Corey Crawford, defenseman Jay Bouwmeester and forward Corey Perry. ... The attendance was 17,991. The capacity is 18,144. Andrew Cashner Jersey .

Cole Hamels Jersey . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- On a banner night for Western Michigan, Corey Davis secured a spot in the college football record book.Davis became the career FBS leader in yards receiving, setting the mark in the second quarter Friday night against Toledo. Davis broke the mark of 5,005 yards set by Trevor Insley of Nevada from 1996-99, and No. 14 WMU went on to beat the Rockets 55-35 , completing an undefeated regular season.Davis came into the game with 4,987 yards. After only one reception for no gain in the first quarter, he set the record on a touchdown drive late in the second. Davis caught a 13-yard pass from Zach Terrell on the first play of the drive, and a 7-yarder moments later moved him past Insley.He later added an 11-yard catch on the drive. He said afterward he wasnt sure the exact moment when the record fell.Im not sure which catch, Davis said. They announced it after we had scored on one of those drives. I was pretty emotional, but I tried to keep it together, because we had an entire game to finish.Davis finished with eight catches for 81 yards, pushing his career total to 5,068. He caught a 1-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter while falling backward at the sideline.The 6-ffoot-3 Davis has been a starter since his first season at WMU in 2013.dddddddddddd He caught 67 passes for 941 yards that year, and it was the only season hes been held under 1,000 yards receiving with the Broncos.In 2014, he had 78 catches for 1,408 yards and 15 touchdowns, and last season, he caught 90 passes for 1,436 yards and 12 TDs.Could have left to make millions of dollars, hed already be in the NFL, coach P.J. Fleck said. He came back, and hes getting all of the individual accolades. Thats not why he came back. He came back to get his degree and to be here for his football team and lead them to a championship.His third-quarter TD was his 17th touchdown catch of the season, tying a school record. His numbers have been so impressive that theres a website promoting him for the Heisman Trophy. His chances in that race are probably remote, but now he has a place in college football history with his yardage record.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
