Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. Kayvon Webster Jersey . This week they discuss the goalie fight fascination, the end of the line for Anthony Calvillo, Canadas flag-bearer and the rodeo that has become the Edmonton Oilers. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to the Edmonton Oilers, because you cant be too careful these days. No sir, you have to watch out, especially when you are in year eight of a rebuild that has produced: three No. 1 overall picks, three other top-10 picks, five head coaches, no playoff appearances, public money for a new arena, an estimate that the franchise has nearly doubled in value, and one Kevin Lowe, who is currently the franchises president of hockey operations. So when a guy tows a sign that reads “Kevin Lowe must go” in multicoloured letters outside your office, youd better call the police, which you did, in case it turned violent. Because thats not a humiliating indication of a bunker mentality shared by a franchise whose treatment of its fans borders on a prank at this point. Right? Dave Naylor, TSN Radio: My thumb is up to Anthony Calvillo, who made it official this week by announcing his retirement after 20 CFL seasons. Calvillo leaves the game with his name on most of the CFLs meaningful passing records and is regarded as one of the Leagues all-time greats. But what stood out about him again this week was his humility and class. Maybe it came from his modest upbringing in East L.A. or perhaps his time struggling as a member of the Las Vegas Posse or the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. But Anthony Calvillos greatest asset as a player -- and what we should remember him most for - was the respect he had for the game, his family and his adoptive home of Montreal. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: Because the simple solution is generally the right one, my thumb is up to the Canadas flag bearer for Sochi, Hayley Wickenheiser. Wickenheiser might have lost the "C" on the ice, but she has not lost her commanding presence in the game, in the country or in the Olympic movement. She is the best player in the history of womens hockey, a three-time gold medalist and now a six-time Olympian, which includes one trip as a softball player. As for the flag-bearer curse … well, as a veteran observer of the SI cover jinx, I say “phooey”. What Wickenheiser carries Feb. 7 will have no impact what might occur in the gold-medal game Feb. 20. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is down to those hockey fans and especially those hockey commentators who were annoyed when they didnt get to see a goalie fight between Peter Budaj and Marc-Andre Fleury. To them, the officials who prevented it did something wrong. Really? Whenever one goalie decides, for whatever reason, or for no reason, to leave his end of the ice, and the other goalie decides to meet him halfway to throw punches, those in charge of the game should stand back and watch? I mean, the NHL looks silly enough for the stuff it doesnt try hard enough to prevent, but the minute it appears to encourage Budaj vs. Fleury, its a midnight beer league. Eric Dickerson Jersey . With Washington teammate Nene drawing double-teams coming off his big game against the Lakers, Gortat scored 25 points on 11-of-12 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds to lead the Wizards to a 100-92 win in overtime over Milwaukee on Wednesday night. Rob Havenstein Jersey .J. -- All those records, all for naught. http://www.laramsfansshop.com/c-36-rams-alec-ogletree-jersey.aspx . The Thunder earned the Game 1 win with a 100-86 victory Saturday night. Oklahoma City dominated the first half and led by 22 at the break, but saw its lead shrink to just two points in the fourth quarter.Fernando Torres scored his first two goals since returning to Atletico Madrid last week, helping eliminate defending champion Real Madrid from the Copa del Rey.Torres scored 50 seconds into the game and added a goal in the first minute of the second half as Atletico tied 2-2 tie at Real on Thursday night and advanced on 4-2 aggregate to a quarterfinal against Barcelona.Torres played for Atletico from 2000-07 but had never scored in six previous games for Atletico at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. He returned to his old team following a highly successful stretch at Liverpool (2007-11) and dismal times at Chelsea (2011-14) and AC Milan (2014).Sergio Ramos scored in the 20th minute for Real, and Cristiano Ronaldo got a goal off a header in the 54th. It was the 34tth goal in 29 games this season for Ronaldo, who earned his third FIFA Player of the Year award on Monday and paraded the trophy for fans on the field before the game. Todd Gurley II Jersey. Madrid has one win in four matches since finishing 2014 with a Spanish record 22-game winning streak.Barcelona rested most of its regulars during a 4-0 win at Elche that gave it a 9-0 aggregate win. Jeremy Mathieu, Sergi Roberto, Pedro Rodriguez and Adriano scored.___ITALYJuventus routed Hellas Verona 6-1 to reach the Italian Cup quarterfinals as Sebastian Giovinco scored twice and won a penalty kick.Alvaro Morata, Roberto Pereyra, Paul Pogba and Kingsley Coman also scored for Juventus, which plays Parma — Serie As last-place team — in the quarterfinals on Jan. 28.
