DENVER – The story of Jonathan Cheechoo is one that offers caution to the 23-year-old centre plugging the Maple Leafs third line. Ousmane Dembele France Jersey . Now playing for Moscow Dynamo, Cheechoo led the NHL with an astounding 56 goals as a 25-year-old with the Sharks and was gone from the league entirely less than five years later. Its a funny game that way, says Peter Holland, far from making it himself just yet. They say one of the hardest things to do is to get to the NHL, but its even harder to stay here. If there is that opportunity where I can say Ive made it, who knows maybe Ill be 38 years old. Eight picks after Toronto plucked Nazem Kadri with the seventh overall selection in 2009 did Anaheim spring for the Caledon, Ontario-born Holland, who rung up 67 points in 68 games that year with Guelph. Five years down the line and now 80 games into his NHL career, Holland is in the earliest stages of securing his place in a league that will chews up those that cant stick quickly and banishes them elsewhere. He was an up-and-down type for the Leafs last year – his first in Toronto – bouncing between the NHL and AHL with varying degrees of success (he had a dominant playoff with the Marlies), but its now, with opportunity at hand, that he needs to show why he belongs in the league. Holland has moved up in the lineup and is drawing bigger minutes with Joffrey Lupul sidelined – including a season-high of more than 16 minutes over the weekend. Hes also added power-play duty in Lupuls absence and is killing penalties for the first time since those junior days with the Storm. Simply put, his opportunity has never been better to show how and why he belongs. We know what Peter can do, said Leafs assistant and former Marlies coach Steve Spott. Obviously I saw it firsthand in the American Hockey League last year. I thought he was the best player in the American League last year. And now hes starting to find that here. Hes playing on the power-play now with [Kadri], hes killing penalties and his minutes are going up. Hes also slowly earning the sometimes difficult faith of head coach Randy Carlyle. That wasnt the case often a year ago – Hollands minutes were often overtaken by the veteran hand of Jay McClement. Thats a real big word for coaches is trust and I think Petes now got that from Randy, Spott said. Now hes got to keep it. In doing so, Spott says, Holland needs to be responsible with the puck and without it. And for young players that can be a challenge. It was Hollands ill-timed drop pass to Jake Gardiner behind the Toronto goal Tuesday night that precipitated Gardiners error and the Coyotes first goal. With trust from the coach, however, Holland admits to feeling more confident, more willing to hang onto the puck and try to make a play from time to time. He knows he needs to become more difficult for opponents to play against, more refined and aware away from the biscuit, more disruptive on the forecheck, and far better in the faceoff circle. My game is having the puck, making plays with the puck, said Holland. I dont make too many mistakes when I do have the puck, but its a matter of putting myself in position to have it more. Holland has just three points in 12 games this fall – including the game-winning goal over Chicago on Saturday – and poor possession numbers, but some of that has to be attributed to the sparse minutes he drew early on Torontos fourth line. Since moving into the third unit centre gig – alongside Leo Komarov and Mike Santorelli – those possession stats have improved and hes become a much more noticeable presence on the ice, using the size, speed and skill that made him a first round pick. And that has to become the norm for him to succeed. Though he boasts a new two-year deal and cant go down to the Marlies again without waivers – thereby keeping him in the NHL barring some unforeseen drop-off – Holland still must determine what kind of player he can be for the Leafs, establish himself as a piece of their future. He looks enviously at Bruins all-around ace David Krejci and sees a model to follow. I look at a guy like that and think thats something I want to strive towards, Holland said. He sees a player in Krejci that Claude Julien and the Bruins count on across the board, someone who rose up the ranks of a depth chart to become the leading scorer of a Stanley Cup champ. I want to be a guy that can be counted on in all situations, he says, whether were down a goal in the last couple minutes [and] I need to be put there to get one for us. Or if were up a goal, be trusted to shut the other team down. Its something that you just need to keep building towards. Holland was one of those players in the desert on Tuesday. He was there on the Gila River Arena ice in the final minute of the third period with the Leafs pushing for one more goal – they wouldnt get it, falling 3-2 to Arizona. Thats what he wants, but its also what he has to earn. And thats a process hes only just beginning. I dont know if you can ever really take your foot off the gas pedal, Holland said. Its a funny game in the sense that if you go on a bit of a slide, next thing you know they bring in the next better kid. Theres always kids up and coming trying to take your spot. Presnel Kimpembe France Jersey . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency. Raphael Varane Jersey . Having won the first leg 1-0 in Barcelona, Madrid entered the match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium already in control and quickly sealed its place in the semifinals when Jese Rodriguez scored in the seventh minute. http://www.nationalfrancesoccer.com/ousmane-dembele-france-jersey/ .Cullen scored the go-ahead goal at 13:47 of the third period and Nashville beat the slumping Dallas Stars 3-2 on Thursday in a game that wasnt decided until the last shot of the night.VAL GARDENA, Italy - Some critics have attributed Kjetil Jansruds domination of speed skiing to the injuries to Aksel Lund Svindal, Bode Miller and Erik Guay.Jansrud has his own explanation.I feel like the minor mistakes never develop into bigger mistakes, the Norwegian said. I grab myself back into it. Somehow Im able to find the time where others do not. Its hard to analyze.Jansrud, the Olympic champion, extended his overall World Cup lead by winning a super-G by a comfortable margin Saturday with only one very minor bobble after narrowly missing victory a day earlier.The Norwegian clocked 1 minute, 33.87 seconds down the Saslong course for his fourth win in six speed races this season. In the two races Jansrud didnt win, he finished second, like in Fridays downhill won by American racer Steven Nyman.I think of every day as a new day. Im not thinking about how my last race is, said Jansrud, who celebrated his seventh career victory with a bow to the crowd. But when I take a step back and see how consistent I am, its pretty good — pretty weird.Local favourite Dominik Paris of Italy finished second, 0.46 seconds behind, for his second top-three result in two days. Hannes Reichelt of Austria was third, 0.54 back, to reach the podium here for the first time in 12 years.(Jansrud) doesnt make mistakes. Thats the difference, Paris said. Hes beatable but you have to give more than 100 per cent and not make any errors. Otherwise its difficult.Svindal, the two-time overall champion and Jansruds teammate, is out indefinitely after tearing his Achilles tendon playing soccer the week before the season started. Miller is planning to return next month from back surgery and Guay, the 2011 world downhill champion from Canada, is also hoping to return soon from a pair of off-season knee operations.Aksel went out and I kind of felt the pressure to step up, Jansrrud said. Olivier Giroud Jersey. We have a small team and suddenly I went into being the oldest guy, a captains role.The 29-year-old Jansrud moved 152 points ahead of technical specialist Marcel Hirscher in the overall standings.If I want to compete in the overall I need to ski incredibly fast in the speed events, because there are more technical events, Jansrud said. Im leading by 150 points now but Im sure hell be 50 points ahead after Madonna. ... Its exciting, at least theres a fight.The circuit traverses the Gardena pass to nearby Alta Badia for a giant slalom on Sunday then heads to Madonna Di Campiglio for a slalom on Monday night to conclude a series of four races in four days.This race was originally scheduled for Friday but was flip-flopped with the downhill in an attempt to preserve the course amid warm weather.Vincent Kriechmayr, a 23-year-old Austrian, finished fourth for his best career result, and Christof Innerhofer of Italy finished fifth for his best result this season after struggling from chronic back pain.Olympic downhill champion Matthias Mayer was on pace for the podium before he went wide around a turn toward the end of his run and skied through a gate as he attempted to correct his course.Nyman skied off course shortly into his run, while American teammate Ted Ligety missed a gate on the bottom section. The top American finisher was Olympic silver medallist Andrew Weibrecht of Lake Placid, New York, in 19th.Ligety will be aiming for his third career win on the Gran Risa course in Sundays GS, the event he won at the Sochi Olympics. Hes struggled at times to keep up with Hirscher this season but put in some extra training the past week.I feel like I figured out a couple of things on the steep pitches, Ligety said. I havent had the confidence to push my limits.___Andrew Dampf can be followed at www.twitter.com/asdampf Cheap Jerseys Store Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Camo China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Authentic Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap ' ' '
