    TORONTO - Zach Fucale will return to the Canadian net tonight against Denmark after splitting the preliminary round games with teammate Eric Comrie at the world junior hockey championship. Air Max Plus Scontate . You can watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 and TSN GO NOW or listen to the game on the TSN Radio Network. Comrie made 25 saves in Canadas 5-3 victory over the United States on Wednesday at Montreals Bell Centre. Both goaltenders have won two games apiece for the unbeaten host side. It just shows how this staff has confidence in both of us and everyone on the team, Fucale said after Thursdays practice at Air Canada Centre. Its not a problem. (Comrie) and I have been working hard and we just want to contribute. To an outsider, Canada appears to be simply rotating its two goaltenders. However, head coach Benoit Groulx said theres a process to his staffs decision on who plays. We sit down, the coaches, we talk with our hockey people, he said. When we sit down after each game and we discuss that matter, we all agreed on what weve got to do. For us, were very comfortable with both goalies. No tough debate. Were pretty much on the same page. Its always a tough decision because both of them deserve to play. The Canada-Denmark winner will play either the Czech Republic or Slovakia in the semifinals. The Sweden-Finland quarter-final winner will play the winner of the Russia-United States game. Comrie, a Winnipeg Jets 2013 second-round pick, has a 1.55 goals-against average and .933 save percentage in his two appearances. Fucale, who was drafted in the second round by the Montreal Canadiens, has a 0.50 GAA and .975 save percentage. Forward Sam Reinhart is thankful hes not the one making the goaltending decision. Im not too surprised were still switching them, he said. I dont know how you put one over the other. Theyve both been great. Fucale has the edge when it comes to experience. The 19-year-old netminder was 2-2 with a 2.42 GAA and .902 save percentage at last years world juniors as Canada settled for a fourth-place finish. He also won a MasterCard Memorial Cup with the Halifax Mooseheads in 2013 and earned a gold medal at the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial tournament. You learn a lot when you win, but you learn twice as much when you lose so things like last year is a little extra motivation for us, said Fucale. We want to make sure we prepare well for this first game of the elimination round. Both Comrie and Fucale are familiar with Denmarks Nikolaj Ehlers, who has a goal and three assists in four games. He played with Fucale on the Mooseheads and like Comrie, was drafted by the Jets. We all know hes at his best when he skates and hes got great hands and shot so its no secret, said Fucale. Columbus Blue Jackets prospect Oliver Bjorkstrand leads Denmark with four goals and an assist. Denmark picked up the fourth seed in Group B following a 0-1-2-1 round-robin record. Theyre a big physical team, they play well in the corner, they sacrifice themselves and they have some skill, said Groulx. When you look at their specialty teams, theyre pretty good. Power play and penalty kill is pretty good and when you look at their ratio in terms of turnovers and takeaways theyre pretty good too. We expect a tough battle tomorrow. Denmark coach Olaf Eller admitted his team would face a major challenge in Canada. Were going to have to have great goaltending. Were going to get our power play going and were going to work our (expletive) off and then were going to need some good bounces (pause) and maybe a little bit more than that, Eller said of what his team would need to win. Its going to be a tough one for us. The semifinals will be played Sunday at Air Canada Centre. The medal games are scheduled for the same venue on Monday. Nike Air Max 90 Bianche Sconti . The hard-serving 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., became the first Canadian to be ranked in the Top 10 on the ATP World Tour thanks to his runner-up performance at Rogers Cup in Montreal. Scarpe Air Max 90 Uomo . - The Green Bay Packers got back to work on Friday without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.WASHINGTON - Although theyre not mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, its safe to say playoff chances for the New York Giants and Washington Redskins have gone by the wayside. The NFC East rivals hope to save face Sunday night at FedEx Field. You can see all the action on TSN beginning at 8pm et/5pm pt. Washington is a disappointing 3-8 on the season and has lost three in a row, including Monday nights 27-6 drubbing at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in the first of three straight games in D.C. Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III had a rough go of it and threw for a season-low 127 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. Griffin had five touchdown passes to one interception in his previous two games and head coach Mike Shanahan was asked if the young QB has regressed from last season. "No, I dont believe so. I think I shared with everybody that we tried to do things a year ago that gave him the best chance to be successful and things that he could do very effectively that I thought he was very good at," Shanahan said. "The drop-back passing game takes some time. It doesnt happen overnight. Robert is getting better and better every game. He feels more comfortable with it and were putting him through a lot of situations." The Redskins, who had a total of 190 yards on Monday, havent lost four in a row since a six-game slide in the middle of the 2011 season and hope to get their offense going again this week. Getting running back Alfred Morris off to a strong start could help and he ran for a season-low 52 yards on 14 carries versus the 49ers. He had rushed for 90-plus yards in five straight games and hasnt scored since Nov. 3. Morris, though, is 30 yards shy of 1,000 for a second year in a row and believes the Redskins are better than advertised. "Its just frustrating because we know were better than this," said Morris, who has 593 rushing yards and two TDs in the last six games. "Were better than what were putting out there on the field. "If I had an answer to the problem, I would tell you. We dont have an answer. Were the same team, we have taleent, we know were better than our record says. Air Max 90 Nere Scontate. Its just frustrating when you put it together and cant get a win." Washington is 0-3 in division play and just 1-7 against the NFC. The Giants, meanwhile, are a game ahead of the Skins in the division with a 4-7 record and had their season-high four-game winning streak come to an end with Sundays 24-21 loss to the rival Dallas Cowboys. Perhaps some trash talk before the game jinxed the G-men, whose winning streak came on the heels of an 0-6 start. The Giants rallied to tie the game at 21-21, but the defense allowed Tony Romo and the Cowboys to march into New York territory to set up Dan Baileys game-winning 35-yard field goal. Giants quarterback Eli Manning passed for 174 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and said theres still hope to make a run at an NFC East title. "I think we know we have to win these next five games to give ourselves a shot," Manning said. "Its still just a shot, nothing is guaranteed, but theres still hope and we know all we can do is worry about us trying to win each game and win the next game and thats what were going to do." Andre Brown ran for a career-high 127 yards on 21 carries and has two 100-yard games in three contests this season. Rueben Randle led the receivers with 64 yards on three receptions, while Victor Cruz caught just two passes for 27 yards. Cruz hasnt found the end zone since Sept. 29, but owns 12 receptions for 235 yards and a TD in last two meetings with Washington. Hakeem Nicks was inactive versus the Cowboys and is questionable this week. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said Nicks is receiving treatment on his abdominal strain. Nicks has yet to score a touchdown this season. The Giants will host the Redskins on Dec. 29 at MetLife Stadium and split last seasons series. They lead the all-time series with Washington, 92-64-4, and have won 10 of the past 14 meetings between the NFC East foes. New York suffered a 17-16 loss in Landover last Dec. 3. Coughlin is 13-8 lifetime against the Redskins and Shanahan owns a 4-6 mark against the Giants. Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA JerseysCheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
