OTTAWA -- Sixteen-year-old Isabela Onyshko and 78-year-old Al Hanet are officially the youngest and oldest Canadians participating at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland as Canada officially confirmed its roster on Thursday for the international athletics competition. Onyshko, from Minnedosa, Man., will compete in artistic gymnastics while Hanet, from Kelowna, B.C., will compete in lawn bowling as a para-athlete. "It is exciting that our Canadian athletes are starting to arrive at the Games Village," said Chantal Petitclerc, Canadas Chef de Mission. "While we have had a small advance team on site for over a week, having athletes now living in the Village has made it come alive. Everything is operational and working very well, the accreditation centre, the dining hall, the transport mall and all amenities. "Glasgow 2014 is ready -- as are the Commonwealths best athletes who are starting to gather for these great Games." Canada is sending its largest-ever delegation to a Commonwealth Games not on home soil with 265 athletes competing in 16 out of 17 sports at Glasgow. Netball is the only sport Canadians will not compete in. Trapshooter Susan Nattrass, who will be Canadas flagbearer at the Opening Ceremony on July 23, is the most experienced athlete in the delegation. The 63-year-old, who lives in Edmonton, is competing in her fifth Games and has won three silver medals and five bronze at previous competitions. Montreals Metodi Igorov, Nattrasss teammate on the shooting team, will also be competing in his fifth Commonwealth Games. "After years of preparation, it is hard to believe that we are now only one week away from the Opening Ceremony," said Scott Stevenson, Commonwealth Games Canadas Director of Sport. "Canada has fielded a very strong team for these 2014 Games, and we are targeting a top three finish amongst all nations competing here. This Team truly represents sporting excellence at its best." adidas zx 750 kopen . That performance leaves Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez with a tough decision.

Now Im excited for the second half of the season.Gaudreau moves into a tie with sophomore Sean Monahan for the team lead in goals.Im excited to help the team offensively. Playing with (Jiri Hudler), Im going to get scoring chances and Im bound to score some goals here and there, said Gaudreau. That pass he made in the third, thats just an empty-net tap-in. Ill take those.Gaudreau is one back of the lead for goals by a rookie, which is shared by Ottawas Mike Hoffman and Nashvilles Filip Forsberg.Joe Colborne and Josh Jooris also scored to help Calgary win for the fifth time in six games.Chris Stewart had the lone goal for Buffalo (14-31-3), which extended its team-record losing streak to 12 games.Jooris, with the eventual winner, gave the Flames a 2-1 lead at 9:05 of the third period Colbornes shot deflected off Buffalo defenceman Mike Weber to Jooris at the side of the net and he quickly fired in his 10th goal.Its all about being aggressive around the net. Josh is a good skater, hes hard-nosed player, said Calgary coach Bob Hartley. Look at his goal. There was a loose puck and there were many sticks but he was the one that found that puck.Jooris now has four game-winning goals, best on the Flames.Especially down the stretch, youre going to be seeing a lot more dirty goals, said Jooris. Weve focused on that the past couple of weeks and thats a big part of our game that we need to improve on.After Colborne made it 3-1, jamming in a rebound at 14:06, Gaudreau wrapped up the third period onslaught at 17:28 on a nifty feed from Hudler. Calgary outshot Buffalo 15-2 in the third period.I thought we did play well, said Buffalo coach Ted Nolan. But once they turned it up a notch, we couldnt keep up with them in the third period.The win moves Calgary, holders of the second wild card spot in the Western Conference, three points up on the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.The Sabres have lost 12 consecutive games, all in regulation. Thats a franchise record and the longest streak in the NHL since the Pittsburgh Penguins lost 13 in a row in regulation in 2003-04.Its frustrating. We played 40 minutes of good hockey and came out in the third and kind of just crumbled, saaid Stewart.dddddddddddd We did have our chances and we just have to bear down. When they got their chances they put them in. That was the difference.The last regulation win by Buffalo came against the Flames way back on Dec. 11, a 4-3 win in which Calgary outshot the Sabres 45-19.Perfect road game. Good 40 minutes for us but it shows our fragility there going into the third, losing it mentally, sitting back waiting for something bad to happen instead of initiating and trying to force things, said Buffalo captain Brian Gionta.With three minutes left in the second period, Stewart had a great chance at the side of the Flames net to break a 1-1 tie only to be robbed by Jonas Hiller, who sprawled and kicked out his pad.Thats the difference, Hiller making those big saves. Thats the importance of goaltending, said Nolan. Stewart had what I thought was an empty-net goal and all of a sudden the pad comes over and makes the save.Hiller finished with 18 saves in his first start in six games. After giving up six goals in a loss to Florida in Calgarys last home game, he gave way to rookie call-up Joni Ortio, who started all five games on a five-game road trip in which the Flames went 4-1-0.Enroth stopped 27 shots in the losing effort.Playing its first game in nine days, Buffalo didnt have anything going early, taking nine minutes to register its first shot. However, after an offensive zone hooking penalty by Colborne, the Sabres 30th ranked power play went to work with Stewart scoring on a deflection after just 13 seconds.The lead was short lived as the Flames took advantage of their first power play of the evening with Gaudreaus goal at 13:40.It was the first power-play goal in six games for Calgary, which entered the night on a 4-for-57 tailspin over the previous 17 games to drop the Flames from eighth in the league to 23rd.We need to keep working at it. We feel we have the right people, its just matter of getting together, getting on the same page, getting a few goals, said Hartley. Penalty killing, power plays, it comes by waves and down the stretch, we need big specialty teams, its going to be crucial for us.Notes: The NHL record for consecutive regulation losses is 17, a mark shared by San Jose (1992-93) and Washington (1974-75)...
