The Winnipeg Goldeyes recorded their first ever four game sweep at Sioux Falls Stadium on Thursday night. The Goldeyes (14-7) ended their series against the Sioux Falls Canaries (6-14) with an 8-3 win in front of 2,549 fans at the Birdcage. The two teams were both off to hot starts, both recording runs in the first inning. After the Goldeyes loaded the bases in the top of the first with none out, they were able to score two runs. Tyler Kuhn came in to record the games first run on a Donnie Webb RBI sacrifice fly. Then Jake Blackwood scored on a Reggie Abercrombie RBI single. The Canaries responded with a leadoff home run from Steven Tinoco in the bottom of the inning. The Goldeyes extended their one run lead in the top of the third, as Luis Alen got on base with a double and then was brought home on Abercrombies second RBI single of the night. Winnipeg got a quality start from Nick Hernandez on the mound. He struck out six and only gave up one run over six and two-thirds innings of work. Hernandez was also able to retire 12 straight Canaries batters from the third to seventh innings. The win was Hernandezs first in his fourth start of the season. "Weve been working hard on Nicks mechanics the last few days," said Goldeyes Pitching Coach Jamie Vermilyea on the Jewel 101 Post-Game Show. "He went out there and did a heck of a job." Ray Sadler put another run on the board for the Fish in the fifth with a solo home run. It was then 4-1 for the Goldeyes on Sadlers team leading fifth home run of the year. In the top of the six Casey Haerther scored on a wild pitch from Ben Moore. Moore took the loss for the Canaries. Six of the nine Goldeyes batters were able to record a multi-hit night, including Abercrombie who led the team with three RBI. He batted in the Goldeyes sixth run in the top of the seventh. "He wasnt trying to do to much with the ball," said Vermilyea of Abercrombie. "He just did what he does best and served it up the middle." The Goldeyes last two runs came in the eighth. Josh Mazzola led off the inning with a solo home run, and then Tyler Kuhn came in to score on a Jake Blackwood RBI single. The Canaries were able to score two runs in the bottom of the ninth to end the game off. With the win the Goldeyes move into sole possession of first place in the North Division, one game ahead of the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks and the St. Paul Saints.

Even though, the 2014 edition enjoyed three days of practice and four skates, in total, before the opener, Sidney Crosby and Co. were not sharp in their 3-1 win against Norway at the Bolshoy Ice Palace on Thursday. There was little authority from Canada. There were some nerves. But slow starts have been the case in the past three Winter Games, when Canada usually had only a day or two of on-ice sessions before the game-action began. Norway deserves credit for its determined game and defensive zone coverage. But even though the Canadians outshot their opponents 38-20, their power play (0-for-2) was abysmal and their scoring touch around Norwegian goalie Lars Haugen was missing in action. Canadian head coach Mike Babcock revealed afterwards that his club mustered only 24 scoring chances. Canada pulled out the victory because the fourth lline of Jamie Benn, John Tavares and Patrice Bergeron came to play, despite limited ice time, and the defence played an active and effective game offensively.dddddddddddd At best-on-best tournaments like the Olympics, Canadian players remark time and time again that they want to get better as the tournament goes on. Sometimes they overcome slow starts, like in 2002 and 2010. Sometimes they dont, like in 2006. But a common theme has been a slow start in the preliminary rounds. 2002 L 5-2 SwedenW 3-2 GermanyT 3-3 Czech Republic 2006 W 7-2 ItalyW 5-1 GermanyL 2-0 Switzerland 2010 W 8-0 NorwayW 3-2 Switzerland (shootout)L 5-3 United States Canadian Olympic teams struggle to come together quickly. It doesnt matter if its the bigger international-sized ice surface or the smaller NHL rink. One of the reasons is because they are asked to take on different roles and reduced ice time. Not every one can make the adjustment seamlessly. ' ' '
