| | ay from the right point to feed Moulson in (5th Jul 16 at 8:51am UTC) | | | SAINT JOHN, N. Nacho Fernandez Jersey .B. -- Canadian pairs skaters Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford went from elated to frustrated in the span of a few minutes. Uncharacteristically low technical marks dropped Duhamel and Radford to bronze, and left the Canadians puzzled about exactly what went wrong after a performance that brought the crowd to its feet. "Despite the mistakes, we did feel the energy in the building... We still gave a standing ovation performance," Radford said. "I think thats what well concentrate on, the potential of that program. I think the potential is huge, I think that its podium potential at the Olympics when we skate technically the way that we can, and hit our levels the way we normally do." Stefania Berton and Ondrej Hotarek won gold with 193.92 points, while Chinas Sui Wenjing and Han Cong claimed the silver (193.77). Paige Lawrence of Kennedy, Sask., and Rudi Swiegers of Kipling, Sask., were fourth. Skating to music from "Alice in Wonderland," Duhamel, in a purple dress, and Radford, clad in purple suit as the Mad Hatter -- minus the hat -- scored 190.62 points and had the Canadian fans on their feet cheering before the last few rotations of their final spin. A groan went up moments later after their marks were displayed, which included zero points for a bungled lift where Duhamel slipped down Radfords back before he barely had her up in the air. Radford, from Balmertown, Ont., believed a shoulder injury Duhamel suffered when she fell three weeks ago might have been partly to blame. "Through rehab we had to change the technique on the lift a little bit," Radford said. "Its hard to put your finger on it." Duhamel, a native of Lively, Ont., said the lift just "went up in a funny spot." "When its in the middle of the program toward the end and something goes up a little bit funny, it become a little bit more difficult to save something like that," she said. More worrisome than the lift is the fact the world bronze medallists had low marks on almost all of their elements. "Were a little bit confused right now, so thats what we need to look at," Duhamel said. "Were not used to getting a really high artistic score and a really low technical score, this is different for us." There was more disappointment on the Canadian team Saturday when Kaetlyn Osmond, a 17-year-old from Marystown, N.L., withdrew with a hamstring injury. Osmond was fifth in Fridays short program and then woke up Saturday with pain in her leg. She tried to practice but said it was painful even putting weight on the leg. Berton and Hotarek, meanwhile, claimed Italys first Grand Prix pairs gold. "We like to write history, what can I say? Just kidding," said Berton. "We worked a lot, and we not only worked on our technique, our elements, but we worked a lot on us as people and how to work together. "Last week in the U.S. at Skate America (where they were fifth) we had issues, I was upset, I was the most upset of the team between us and the coach... I think whats very good about today and yesterday is that none of us gave up, we all skated together, and we just decided to try and try again."

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Marcus Foligno looked up at the video board and was moved as the Buffalo Sabres said farewell to two of their most popular players. Jhonas Enroth made 36 saves as the Sabres beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Friday night, a few hours after they traded goalie Ryan Miller and captain Steve Ott. "Im not going to lie. It was pretty emotional watching the tribute," Foligno said. "That was pretty nice what they did during the game, and those are two players that were hugely respected here in the city and respected Buffalo as well." Miller was set to start his 541st career game for the Sabres, but was pulled from the lineup just over an hour before the puck was dropped. The deal made Ted Nolan push Enroth into the starting lineup. "I was sitting in the back, joking around with the trainers about all these trade rumours and I told them hopefully it doesnt happen on game day, especially against the Sharks," Enroth quipped. "Three minutes after, Coach Nolan came up to me and told me I was starting, so I kind of jinxed myself there. "After that, I was a bit more nervous than usual but I told myself I had nothing to lose." Enroth played well and the Sabres got goals from Cody Hodgson, Brian Flynn, Matt Moulson and Tyler Myers. It was Enroths second consecutive win after he snapped a 0-10-4 slump with a 5-4 overtime win against Boston on Wednesday, which was his first home win since April. With the trade of Miller, Buffalo was forced to reach into their new hockey academy staff for a backup goaltender. HarborCenter director of technology Ryan Vinz was Buffalos No. 2 goaltender after being a video co-ordinator at Clarkson University. James Sheppard and Patrick Marleau scored for San Jose. With the trade, Buffalo general manager Tim Murray struck his first major deal since being hired in January, acquiring goalie Jaroslav Halak, forward Chris Stewart, prospect William Carrier, a 2015 first-round pick and a conditional 2016 third-round pick. Murray later explained that the pick in 2016 could turn into a first-round pick in this years draft if the Blues reach the Western Conference finals or Miller re-signs with St. Louis before the draft. The win gave Buffalo three straight wins for the first time since last April, and Myers said the milestone carries significance. "It feels good,&" he said. Mateo Kovacic Real Madrid Jersey. "We knew what position we were in going into this game, and we really wanted it. Hearing the news before the game we wanted it that much more." The Sabres opened the scoring on a power-play goal 10:59 into the first period, as Antti Niemi couldnt hold on to Hodgsons wrist shot. It was Hodgsons 15th goal and his first since Jan. 28. Enroth made a glove save of Matt Irwins slap shot through traffic with under seven minutes to play to keep Buffalo ahead. He made another strong glove save 7:22 into the second period when Marleau was left uncovered in the slot. "It was kind of late notice," Enroth said of getting the word he was starting, "but I just told myself to relax, go out there and compete." Moments after Enroth stopped Marleau, Myers beat Niemi off a rush up the right side, but his shot clanked off the cross bar. After another pair of saves, Enroth was beaten when Sheppard forced a puck between the goaltenders legs after a shot rebounded off the end boards. The Sharks finished the second period with a 31-13 advantage in shots on goal. "We knew theyd be ready," Sharks centre Joe Pavelski said. "We had our chances to score early and we didnt, fell behind, climbed back and just didnt turn the corner like we needed to." Buffalo restored its lead 4:33 into the third when Zemgus Girgensons won a faceoff back to Flynn, whose wrist shot beat Niemi. The Sabres doubled their advantage four minutes later when Myers jumped into the play from the right point to feed Moulson in the slot, who scored over Niemis shoulder. Marleau brought the Sharks within one with a one-timer with 1:15 left in regulation. Joe Thornton picked up his 50th assist of the season on the goal. "They played hard," Thornton said of the Sabres. "Obviously, Im sure a lot of feelings over there with two teammates. its a tough business, but they played well tonight." Myers added an empty-net goal with 21 seconds left to give him a goal and two assists on the night. "Tyler Myers is really starting to come into his own," Nolan said. "I thought he was sensational tonight." NOTES: Tyler Ennis missed his second straight game for Buffalo with "undisclosed soreness" ...
