  MINSK, Belarus - Morgan Rielly and Nazem Kadri were hanging out in their hotel room at the world hockey championship when Twitter told them the news. Lonnie Johnson Texans Jersey . The Toronto Maple Leafs were holding a news conference, so they got curious. It didnt take long for them to find out via social media that coach Randy Carlyle was coming back — with a two-year extension — and assistants Greg Cronin, Scott Gordon and Dave Farrish were being let go. "I wasnt too sure how to react," Rielly said. "I personally like Randy, I think hes a great coach. I think we have a pretty good relationship. "I didnt really know what was going to happen with him either here or if hes gone and then obviously all the other coaches. So you just have to keep an open mind about it. Its obviously too bad that we dont have Crow, Gordo and Dave." Along with goaltender James Reimer, a restricted free agent who figures to be traded rather than return as Jonathan Berniers backup, the Leafs players here have their own problems to worry about right now. Theyre playing for Team Canada, which allows them to focus on the next game, the next practice rather than the machinations of what are happening back home. Still, Thursdays announcement affects them in a significant way. Reports dating to the trade deadline have mentioned Kadri as a player the Leafs would like to trade, and keeping the Dave Nonis-Carlyle regime in place under new president Brendan Shanahan only sparked more. Kadri isnt one to say hes worried about trade rumours, and the 23-year-old centre also wasnt surprised that Carlyle was coming back. "Not really. Randys a good coach," he said. "I think the players got to be a little better and a little more prepared. "With what happened last year, its an eye-opener, especially for the young group we had, and Im sure its not going to happen again." Leafs fans had to figure losing 12 of the final 14 games would prompt changes. Shanahan was brought in, and it wouldnt have been the least bit shocking for Carlyle to take the significant brunt of the blame. Instead, by Nonis saying he and the front office still saw Carlyle as the right man to lead the Leafs, the message seems to be the blame is on the players. Kadri didnt necessarily see the moves as a mandate of that. "Were a team. Everyone plays for the team. You stick together, you win as a team, you lose on a team," he said, echoing a line Carlyle has used many times. "I dont think its on a specific group of people or a specific person. I think we all got to be better, including the players." The players who start the 2014-15 NHL season are likely to be much different from those who ended this disappointing regular season. Along with Kadri, defenceman Jake Gardiner has been the other big name mentioned in reports of whom the Leafs could trade this summer. Gardiner is at the world championships playing for the United States, but Rielly said Saturday he hadnt talked to his Leafs roommate about the news. No doubt itll be a major topic of conversation once they cross paths here. Max Scharping Womens Jersey . - On the night Dirk Nowitzki overtook Dominique Wilkins on the career scoring list, Brandan Wright was a human highlight film all by himself. Justin Reid Jersey .com) - The Buffalo Bills will return to the friendly confines of Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday when they welcome the upstart Cleveland Browns to town.Edmonton, AB (SportsNetwork.com) - The CFL postseason returns to Commonwealth Stadium this weekend, as the Edmonton Eskimos entertain the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Western Division Semifinal of the 102nd Grey Cup Playoffs. Saskatchewan, the defending Grey Cup Champs who dismissed Hamilton in the title tilt last year by a score of 45-23, appeared to be one of the teams to chase again in 2014 after moving out to an 8-2 mark through 10 games, but the second half of the campaign wasnt nearly as kind. After defeating Winnipeg in Week 11 action on the road, the Riders proceeded to win just two more times over the course of eight games and one of those came in double-overtime versus Ottawa, the newest addition to the league and the weakest member. Following that 35-32 survival versus the RedBlacks, Saskatchewan dropped five in a row before closing with a 24-17 triumph versus these same Eskimos on Nov. 8. As for Edmonton, the team with the second-best record in the CFL at 12-6, it had a three-game win streak snapped by Saskatchewan in the regular-season finale on the road. Of the three meetings between these two division foes this year, two went to the Eskimos -- a 24-0 shutout in Week 14, and a closer 24-19 decision three weeks later. In the most recent matchup, Edmonton trailed 24-7 after three periods of play but managed to make things interesting thanks to a 24-yard field goal by Hugh ONeill and a two-yard TD run by quarterback Matt Nichols, but still the hole was too deep. Nichols handled almost every one of the snaps for the visitors, converting 30- of-42 passes for 261 yards, but he was picked off twice and unable to get one of his attempts into the end zone. Running back Tyler Thomas not only ran for a team-best 66 yards on 10 carries, he also caught a game-high seven passes for another 53 yards in the losing cause. The Eskimos were forced to insert Nichols into the starting lineup after Mike Reilly suffered a foot injury during the blowout win over the British Columbia Lions. As of Tuesday night, there was still no determination on whether or not Reilly would be available for the meeting with Saskatchewan, but certainly keeping him out of the regular-season finale increased his chances of rejoining his teammates. While the Eskimos were relying on Nichols to get them through to the postseason, SSaskatchewan used a trio of quarterback to handle the final game of the regular season. Cullen Gillaspia Womens Jersey. Kerry Joseph hung in there the longest in terms of pass attempts (16), but he completed just five for 71 yards and was sacked once. Tino Sunseri responded with a perfect 2-of-2 showing for 59 yards and a score to Rob Bagg, while Seth Doege hit on one of his three passes for 12 yards and was sacked one time. Both teams were hard to watch at times, considering the number of penalties doled out in the meeting. Edmonton was charged with 13 infractions for a loss of 110 yards and the Riders 12 penalties for 105 yards. Saskatchewan has done well to limit mistakes this year, at least in terms of penalties, as it ranked next-to-last with 1,523 penalty yards over 18 games. On the other hand, no team was plagued more than Edmonton as the team averaged just over 100 yards in penalties per contest. Nevertheless, even though the referees were constantly looking for the Eskimos to suffer a transgression, the team was still able to control the action rather well. In fact, Edmonton ended up leading the league in scoring defense with just 18.9 ppg allowed. Further down on the list at sixth was Saskatchewan with 24.5 ppg. Offensively, thanks in large part to Reilly, Edmonton was second in points scored with 27.3 ppg, trailing Calgary by just over one point per contest. Again, the Riders found themselves in the middle of the pack with 22.2 ppg. Last season, while Saskatchewan was running away with the lopsided Grey Cup victory over Hamilton, the Eskimos were left at home trying to figure out how they won just four of 18 decisions, two of which came against the Riders and Tiger-Cats ironically enough. In terms of postseason success for each side, Edmonton has the second-most Grey Cups among active clubs in the league, bringing home the trophy 13 times in 24 opportunities. However, the last time the Esks were the last team standing was in 2005 when they topped Montreal by just three points, 38-35. Obviously, Saskatchewan has experienced success more recently in the postseason, playing in the title game in three of the last five years. The survivor of this outing will be back in action the following weekend versus division champion Calgary, for the right to move on to the Grey Cup on Nov. 30 in Vancouver. ' ' '
