Quarterfinal breakdown Posted: Tuesday February 19, 2002 1:29 PM Team USA and Team Sweden have played brilliantly thus far, with their focus and execution being impeccable. In the quarterfinals, they meet the two teams that advanced from the preliminary qualifying games Germany and Belarus respectively. Both games are major mismatches the reward for the Americans and Swedes playing so well through the first three games. The other two games in the quarterfinal round, however, offer terrific matchups. The only sure thing about these games is that when they end, so does the medal hopes of two fine teams. Canada vs. Finland Overview: Both of these teams improved over the first three games the Finns to a dramatic degree and Canada more subtly. Mario Lemieux supplies the difference offensively for Canada, although Teemu Selanne Offense: Two men define their respective attacks Lemieux for Canada and Selanne for Finland. Both provided the necessary spark in their teams last outings proving again their elite status as performers who seize the moment. The Finns have received nice production from their second line of Mikko Eloranta-Yuha Ylonen-Sami Kapanen . They are responsible defensively and skilled enough to put Kapanen's speed to good use. Canada will likewise need at least one other source of offense up front aside from the Paul Kariya-Mario Lemieux-Steve Yzerman trio. Youngsters

40. Inside The Bruins: Is Future Capped For Samsonov, Thornton?: 7/ 28/ 2005 Joe Thornton and sergei samsonov were drafted together as 18year-olds Joe Thornton is one of the very best hockey players in the world, Barry said. http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/07-05/07-28-05/b01sp647.htm

Find a Car Find a Job Find a Home Find a Business ... Building Permits Inside The Bruins: Is future capped for Samsonov, Thornton? Joe Thornton and Sergei Samsonov were drafted together as 18-year-olds (first and eighth overall in 1997), came into the National Hockey League together and negotiated their first two contracts together. And, next year, it's more than likely that the two will go their separate ways. It's not the outcome Bruins general manager Mike O'Connell wants, but a crash course in the new salary cap is teaching us life can be shorter than a Bruins playoff appearance. O'Connell tendered both players long-term contract offers on Tuesday Thornton a five-year offer and Samsonov a three. That's more generous than he needs to be in order to secure both restricted free agents for the upcoming season, but it's nowhere near generous enough to get the players to sign long-term now and thereby pass up a chance at true free agency next summer. Freedom at age 27 or after seven years of service, whichever comes first, was the only real player perk written into the new collective bargaining agreement. It could be argued that without it, there's no way there would have been enough ratification votes for a CBA otherwise slanted toward the needs of owners and entry-level NHLers. The offers are in and the ball is rolling. Thornton's agent, J.P. Barry, has already criticized the offer to the Canadian Press in an interview yesterday.
