t season of my life, “ Harvey sa

FALUN, Sweden – Canadas Alex Harvey rediscovered his magic to win gold at the World Cup cross-country skiing finals Saturday. Nike Air Force 1 07 Homme Pas Cher . The 25-year-old from St-Ferreol-les-Neiges, Que., narrowly held off Norways Martin Johnsrud Sundby to win the mens 30-kilometre race. „This has been the best season of my life,“ Harvey said. „Obviously we didnt have that magic we needed at the Olympics which was the goal, but I have five podiums this year, three victories, and this just reconfirms all of the work we did in the summer.“ Therese Johaug took a big step toward securing the overall cross-country World Cup title by beating Norwegian teammate Marit Bjoergen in the womens 15-kilometre skiathlon race. Harvey, whose best finish last month in Sochi was 18th, powered his way up the hills on the 2015 world championship course Saturday and took advantage of the fast glide on his skis in the downhill. He carried the pace until one kilometre to go when he shuffled to the side and moved into the back to draft on the final downhill and slingshot to gold. He beat Sundby in a sprint to the finish, crossing in one hour 18 minutes 7.6 seconds. The Norwegian finished just 0.12 seconds behind. Alexander Legkov of Russia was third, 1.76 seconds behind. Harvey has found success before in Falun, capturing his first World Cup title there in 2012. Its the same venue where his father Pierre won his first of three World Cup medals in 1987. „I just love racing and Falun is always at the end of the season,“ Harvey said. „I think some guys when they feel tired at the end of the year they shut down in the head a bit, but I just love to race. When there may be tired bodies at the end of the season, I like to keep going. „The course is so hard and it requires sustained work, and I just enjoy racing here.“ Harvey is fourth in the overall World Cup standings with the final 15-kilometre skate-ski pursuit race scheduled for Sunday. Devon Kershaw of Sudbury was 12th Saturday, while Ivan Babikov of Canmore, Alta., was 23rd. Johaug, meanwhile, won the womens race in 41:08.9 to beat Bjoergen by 33.6 seconds, with Finlands Kerttu Niskanen finishing third.

Iguodala tormented his former team with a game better than any he ever played in eight seasons with the 76ers.NEW YORK, N.Y. – NHL general managers made some progress toward implementing a coachs challenge system, but could not finalize plans to do so at their annual Stanley Cup final meeting. At this point the issue is trying to define what cases would be subject to challenges and how the process would work. Because of that, GMs sounded optimistic something would be agreed on, but there was no certainty about whether it would start next season or in 2015-16. „It would be related to a coachs challenge and so instead of jumping right into it, maybe everybody understands when the coaches are going to challenge,“ Jim Rutherford of the Pittsburgh Penguins said. „So maybe just try it internally for a year. These are real tough changes so you want to get it right.“ Coachs challenges and the possibility of expanded video review dominated Wednesdays meeting several blocks from Madison Square Garden on the day of Game 4 of the Cup final. One thing that seemed clear was that goaltender interference would not be part of any such changes because theres so much room for interpretation. „I think Commissioner (Gary) Bettman says it best: You want certainty, you want black-and-white where we can say, This is it and, This is not it,“ Don Maloney of the Phoenix Coyotes said. „Goals going over the line, thats certainty, black-and-white. When you start talking about goalie interference for example, now you start talking about judgment calls. … Thats when it gets grey.“ What coaches might be able to challenge includes goals scored on plays that shouldve been offside, the puck hitting the protective netting, the wrong player getting penalized and the puck going over the glass for a penalty. Rutherford stressed that coachs challenges wont be there next season, while Maloney said he wasnt quite sure if it was too late for that possibility. That just added to the lack of clarity ouut of Wednesdays meeting. Site Nike Air Force 1 Pas Cher. Discussions also centred on cracking down on embellishment, and changing the draft lottery for 2015-16 and beyond to be more like the NBAs that allows the first three picks to be attainable. Any draft-lottery changes would not go into effect until 2016, leaving the much-anticipated Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel 2015 event subject to the same system there is now. GMs gave their approval on those competition committee recommendations, including allowing a more liberal definition of kicked-in goals, expanding the trapezoid, doing a dry scrape of the ice and changing ends before overtime, and making some faceoff changes. Consensus wasnt so clear on expanded video review out of Torontos situation room or coachs challenges. One problem is the possibility of delaying games, which Major League Baseball is dealing with in its first season with replay beyond home runs. „We dont want games to be 3 hours long, 3 1/2 hours long,“ Maloney said. „I find myself going to football games with the stoppages there, I really cant stand it.“ One thing GMs did seem to agree on is the desire to have more correct calls. „Thats all were concerned about: making sure we get it right,“ Dale Tallon of the Florida Panthers said. „And then if we do further reviews, weve got to make sure that when we do the reviews, its black and white. Theres still a lot of grey areas in all of this stuff.“ The discussion will continue. The NHLs board of governors convenes later in June and must approve any changes along with the NHLPA executive committee. „Were on the right track. We just have to make sure what were doing is giving us the results we expect,“ Maloney said. „The coachs challenge, expanding video replay — those are the big topics right now and were still searching for ways to help the game, not hurt it.“ ‚ ‚ ‚
