VANCOUVER - If the Canucks pre-season is any indication, winger Radim Vrbata will be fitting in nicely on a line with new teammates Daniel and Henrik Sedin. Ken Giles Jersey .Vrbata scored the eventual winner and Henrik Sedin had two assists Saturday as Vancouver closed out their pre-season with a 3-2 victory against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Arena.It was the 33-year-old veterans third goal of the pre-season as he looks to gel with his new Canucks teammates after coming to Vancouver as a free agent this summer. Hes filling some big shoes with the departure of former Sedin linemate Ryan Kesler, but so far so good.For me to get to know new guys, new staff and new system ... from that standpoint I think its worked out fine, said Vrbata. Hopefully we can carry that over to the regular season.Chris Higgins and Daniel Sedin also scored for the Canucks, who finished their pre-season 5-2-0, including a 2-1 victory last Thursday in Edmonton. Starting goalie Ryan Miller went the distance with 27 saves as he also prepares for his first season in Vancouver.Nail Yakupov and Will Acton replied for the Oilers (4-4-0), who wrapped their pre-season by icing a young lineup of prospects and were without stars like Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and David Perron.Henrik Sedin, who finished the pre-season with six assists in four games, says hes feeling plenty of optimism heading into Vancouvers opener on Wednesday in Calgary.Its been everything you can ask for a€” a new line mate, our power play feels good, youre confident every time you step on the ice, said Henrik Sedin. We feel we can create on any given shift. Theres still a few things to work on but overall Im really happy.The Canucks, starting a more experienced lineup, jumped on the Oilers early as Alex Burrows fired a long pass to the speedy Higgins, who smoothly collected the puck and shovelled it over Ben Scrivenss left shoulder 1:19 into the first. It was Vancouvers first shot of the game.Just over two minutes later Henrik Sedin found his twin brother behind the net and Daniel banked it in off Scrivenss back for a 2-0 lead. Vancouver finished the opening period looking firmly in control with an 8-3 shot advantage.Edmonton got back in it at 5:07 of the second when Canucks defenceman Luca Sbisa turned it over in his zone and Yakupov took advantage with a blazing wrist shot that beat Miller.The Canucks restored their two-goal lead at 11:33 of the second as Vrbata, with a crowd in front of Scrivens, found the loose puck and squeaked it through the goalies legs for his third goal of the pre-season.Im not going to lie a€” it was lucky that it went through, said Vrbata. We were buzzing around that shift. This was a lucky one to go in.Edmonton cut the deficit back down to one goal again near the end of the second as Lander dished it to Acton at the face-off circle and the centre slapped it past Miller at 18:03.The Oilers had a chance to tie it early in the third when Leon Draisaitl got his cage rattled by Alex Edler resulting in an elbowing penalty to the Canucks defenceman. Edmonton couldnt capitalize, however, and finished the game with a 29-18 shots-on-goal advantage.We want a better results than that, said Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins. We had some chances to score late and we couldnt get it in the net. We have to get better at burying those chances when the game is on the line.Scrivens finished with 15 saves.The Oilers were using their last pre-season game to get another look at a number of their young talent, including Edmontons third overall pick in this years draft Draisaitl, centre Bogdan Yakimov, and top blue-line prospects Darnell Nurse and Oscar Klefbom.Eakins says he knows hes got some hard decisions to make ahead of the team opener against Calgary on Thursday.Every game, every day of the training camp is an important one, said Eakins. You need to be great today, we tell these guys, and thats all you have to worry about.Draisaitl had a golden scoring chance in the second, going one-on-one with Miller, but the veteran netminder made a solid glove save to deny the youngster.Notes a€” The Canucks and Oilers will face each other fives times in the regular season. Their first meeting will be next Saturday, Oct. 11 in Vancouver. ... Before the game the Canucks assigned centre Cal OReilly to Utica. ... The Oilers dressed seven centres in the game.

The judge sternly instructed the prosecutor to restrain himself and he apologized -- then went right back to trying to pick holes in the testimony of the double-amputee runner. It was a harsh day of cross-examination for Pistorius, challenged relentlessly about his account of the moments just before he killed Reeva Steenkamp, as well as circumstances related to several firearms charges against him, including the firing of a gun in a crowded restaurant.The following letter from commissioner Mark Cohon was sent to CFL players on Wednesday. May 21, 2014 Dear CFL Players: On May 15, 2014, we presented your Executive Committee with a full and comprehensive offer that unfortunately was rejected. We believe that this offer is fair and reasonable, and we want to share its details with you. If ratified by the Players, the CFL offer would provide the following: Financial Terms - Increase the salary cap by 9% this season from $4,400,000 to $4,800,000 per team (and further increasing by $50,000 each year over the following five years to $5,050,000)- Effectively increase the average player salary up to 12% this season from $82,904 to $92,917 (and further increasing over the following five years)- Increase the minimum player salary by 11% this season from $45,000 to $50,000 (and further increasing to $55,000 over the following five years)- A further increase to the salary cap of $100,000 per team if the CFL receives more television revenue from TSN under a renegotiated broadcast agreement for each remaining year on the CBA- Maintain the $450,000 annual payment to the CFLPA for Player marketing and other rights This has been a long and difficult process for all involved. And when it comes right down to it, we just want to play. So, we have also offered to pay a ratification bonus of $3,000 to veteran Players and $1,000 to rookie Players (on a team roster as at June 22, 2014) if this agreement is ratified on or before June 2, 2014. Player Safety & Welfare - Immediately add two players to each teams Active Roster - Immediately restrict the number of contact practices during the regular season- Maintain 2013 CFL policy to restrict the number of contact practices during training camp- Maintain all current Player pension, medical plan and life insurance benefits- Maintain all CFL annual payments for Player counselling and rehabilitation support under the CFL-CFLPA Drug Policy On May 20, 2014 your Executive Committee provided us with their financial proposal in response to our offer. The CFLPAs financial proposal provides for a salary cap increase to $6.24 million in 2014, as well as approximately $240,000 per team per year in other monetary increases to pre and post-season compensation and pension plan contributions per year. From 2015 forward, significantly more would be added to salary cap based on a revenue sharing model. We advised the CFLPA in no uncertain terms that their proposal was not realistic, and would not form the basis for any financial settlement. In fact, it would threaten the very existence of the CFL. We have obviously rejected the CFLPA proposal today in negotiations, and we have told your Executive Committee that we are prepared to meet in bargaining at any time once they are prepared to discuss a fair and reasonable settlement that makes sense for both the Players and the League. Over the last five years, we have improved the foundation of our league. Howevver, our work in this regard is not yet complete. Julian Merryweather Blue Jays Jersey. nbsp; Continued investment, focus and effort is required to achieve our vision of a strong, stable, and sustainable CFL. And while we remain mindful of the additional steps we must take, we also recognize the progress, together with the Players, that we have already made. And this progress is reflected in this offer. The CFL offer strikes an appropriate balance of, on the one hand, providing significant compensation increases and health & safety improvements to the Players while, on the other hand, creating an environment in which the League and its teams can continue to build for a strong and stable future. It provides a fair share to the Players, and helps us to effectively manage our businesses with a view to a strong future - for everyone. Over the last 25 years, with limited exceptions, CFL teams have either operated at a financial loss or struggled to generate even the slightest amount of profit. There are numerous factors that contributed to this, but central among them was the unbalanced relationship between revenues and all costs. Quite simply, the revenues being generated from the primary revenue streams of ticket sales, television, and sponsorships were insufficient to meet the essential operating requirements of the teams. Investments were needed in infrastructure (notably in stadiums and training facilities), and in modernizing our operations (i.e. developing our internet capabilities, and actively building competitive brands in our largest markets). However, without operating profits these investments were either insufficient, or not made at all, at both the League and team levels. A reasonable, fixed salary cap provides the foundation for a sensible business model. The League and teams have started to invest in their own futures. They have increased the skill and professionalism of their business leaders and staff, consistently and thoughtfully begun to strengthen their brands in their local markets, and have spent or committed $175 million in private money towards major stadium and infrastructure projects to create a modern CFL. Instead of reverting back to the days of old - limited investment, limited growth, significant instability, and a stagnant or declining business - we have a credible opportunity to boldly look to the future. In this new scenario, everybody ultimately wins. If you have any questions about this offer, please speak with your teams Players Association representative or a member of your Executive Committee. I want to thank you for considering this offer. This is not an easy process. The business side of football is never as much fun as the game itself. But we all share a responsibility to ensure that our league is strong for this generation of CFL fans and those that follow. Thank you for your consideration and your dedication to our League.
