FLIMS, Switzerland - Edmontons Kelsey Rocque captured two wins Friday in the womens draw at the world junior curling championship. Rocques rink had steals in two ends and scored four in the eighth en route to an 8-3 win over Sweden before claiming an 8-5 victory over Switzerland. That left Canada (4-2) in a four-way tie for second behind front-running Russia (5-1). "That was a strong performance by the team overall," Rocque said between games. "I think that win will help our confidence a lot. "We had two tough losses (Thursday) so carrying that forward, we know we can play well and compete at this level." Rocque took control of the match against Switzerland by scoring two with the hammer and registering steals in two ends en route to a 6-1 lead at the break. The Swiss rallied before the hometown crowd but the Canadians held on for the win. Rocque takes on American Cory Christensen (4-2) on Saturday. In mens action, Winnipegs Braden Calvert dropped a 10-5 decision to Scotland before rallying for an 8-4 win over China. That leaves the Canada (2-3) in a three-way tie for sixth. Canada fell behind Scotland 6-1 through five ends but cut the deficit to 7-5 after eight. But Smith scored three in the ninth to clinch the victory. Calvert said coming back for the win over winless China (0-5) was good for his squad. "It was really good to bounce back and get a win like that," said Calvert. "The guys played really good and it gives us a lot of momentum going into (Saturday)." Canada faces Norway (5-0) and Switzerland (3-2) on Saturday. Wholesale Air Jordan Shoes .

CHAUNCEY BILLUPS (Pistons): Yes they got Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings in the off-season and Andre Drummond is a beast (teams are kicking themselves for passing on him - he rebounds and block shots every game - thats two more discernable and significant skills than most guys in his draft class), but dont for a second discount the impact of having a savvy veteran like Billups on your team.Matchups for the Super Bowl on Feb. 1 between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots at University of Phoenix Stadium:When the Seahawks (14-4) have the ball:If the Patriots can tame the Beast, they will have a big head start toward a fourth NFL championship since 2001. RB Marshawn Lynch (24) will try to impose his will on a solid but not overwhelming defence led by DT Vince Wilfork (75), DE Rob Ninkovich (50), LBs Jamie Collins (91) and Donta Hightower (54). If Lynch is slowed, that leaves the onus for running on QB Russell Wilson (3). While highly capable — he rushed for 849 yards and six TDs in 2014 — Wilson would prefer balance on offence.When he throws, he must avoid the interceptions that plagued him vs. Green Bay for the NFC title. Not that Wilson was always off-target, with two of his picks being off tips by WR Jermaine Kearse (15). But he was not nearly as precise as usual.Kearse, who caught the winning TD pass in the past two NFC title matches, was targeted on all four interceptions against the Packers. Hell see plenty of CBs Darrelle Revis (24) and Brandon Browner (39), a Seahawk last season, and could struggle getting open deep. S Devin McCourty (32) also will help in coverage on WR Doug Baldwin (89) and TE Luke Willson (82).One thing Seattle wont do is lose faith even when things arent working on offence. And behind an unsung offensive line led by LT Russell Okung (76) and C Max Unger (60), they wont back off, either.When the Patriots (14-4) have the ball:Unquestionably the key matchup, as it often is these days when the Patriots are on the field, will be All-Pro TE Rob Gronkowski (87) against the legions trying to cover him. However, for Seattles Legion of Boom, much of the assignment will fall to S Kam Chancellor (31). Chancellor has the size (6-3, 232), speed and tackling skills to somewhat neutralize Gronkowski.If he can do that, it frees All-Pro S Earl Thomas (29) to help with versatile WR Julian Edelman (11), who mostly will draw All-Pro CB Richard Sherman (25) in coverage. QB Tom Brady (12) is particularly comfortable throwing to Gronk and Edelman, and the Seahawks want to force him to look at others instead.But even if the coverage is strong, Seattle must get pressure from pass rushers DEs Michael Bennett (72) and Cliff Avril (56) and LBs Bobby Wagner (54), an All-Pro, and Bruce Irvin (51). Brady is most vulnerable — which isnt very vulnerable — when he has to throw before he wants to and cant set his feet.That means an unheralded offensive line featuring tackles Sebastian VVollmer (76) and Nate Solder (77) needs to be steady.ddddddddddddGreen Bay showed the Seahawks can be run on, so RB LeGarrette Blount (29) could wind up being a featured player.Special Teams:Although the Seahawks were not great on special teams this season, they were spectacular in beating Green Bay. A fake field goal pass for a TD by holder Jon Ryan (9) — one of the NFLs most accurate punters — and an onside kick that kept them alive for the NFC title wont be forgotten in the Pacific Northwest.Generally, though, New England has the edge here. Coverage is very good on punt and kickoff returns, led by Pro Bowler Matthew Slater (18). Edelman (11) was second in the NFL with 12 yards per punt return and had one for an 84-yard TD. Stephen Gostkowski (3) missed only two field goals and led the NFL with 156 points.Coaching:Pete Carrolls revenge? Its not a major story line, but it should be recognized that Carroll preceded Bill Belichick in New England. He wasnt a bad coach there, either, going 28-23, but that pales compared to Belichicks numbers.No team brings more energy to the field than the Seahawks, and it stems from Carroll. He always has the pulse of his team: Carroll saw how Seattle was suffering from a Super Bowl hangover early in the schedule. He not only got the Seahawks to snap out of it, but reach peak form down the stretch — at least until last week, when they got lucky, too.Belichick just surpassed Tom Landrys mark for postseason victories (21). Regardless of the findings of the NFLs probe into under-inflated footballs in the AFC championship contest, he is known as an innovator — just as much as he is known for stretching the parameters of the rulebook. Belichick keeps things fresh by finding new ways to exploit the opposition.He will have something unusual lined up for Carroll and the Seahawks.Intangibles:Seattle seeks to become the first repeat winner since the Patriots managed it a decade ago. A victory would stamp these Seahawks as an all-time great team, particularly having beaten Peyton Manning and Brady in successive Super Bowls. The Seahawks also come off a mediocre performance in the NFC title game, which should spur them on.New England, of course, doesnt want to add a stigma of Super Bowl loser by dropping three in a row after winning in its first three trips with Brady and Belichick. Brady can equal Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana with four Super Bowl rings, while Belichick can tie Chuck Noll with four.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
