TORONTO -- Canadas Sidney Crosby separated Czech Republic defenseman Michal Kempny from the puck just inside the blue line, linemate Brad Marchand retrieved it, and Patrice Bergeron finished it off, all in a blink of an eye.It was the kind of goal you get on NHL ice and rarely would have seen two and a half years ago at the Sochi Olympics on the larger international ice.Everything happens faster, Team Canada forward Matt Duchene said Sunday. You look at Bergerons goal ... its bang-bang-bang and its in the net. On big ice, that wouldnt have happened. Marchy wouldnt have been close enough to get that puck with that much time. It just wouldnt have happened that way. You probably would not have seen a goal there. Thats prime example No. 1, everything happens faster and you have less time to think. So, the margin for error is higher.There will likely be no better example of the impact of the ice size than Team Canada in this World Cup of Hockey, the intention pretty clear from Saturdays 6-0 win over the Czech Republic -- a more aggressive forecheck than we ever saw in Sochi.There, Canada came up with a keep-away concept that valued a low-risk, defense-first approach with players staying tight in the right lanes and not chasing.Team Canada perfected it in Sochi en route to a 6-0 run and another gold medal while scoring only 17 goals in those six games, including just four in the final two games. Of course, Canada also gave up just three goals in Sochi, with back-to-back shutouts to wrap it up in the semifinals and gold-medal game.Now, Canadas star-studded team is back to playing NHL-style hockey, which means a more exciting product.I think the biggest difference for me right off the hop and kind of knowing coming into this tournament is just the difference in the style of game on the ice sheet in Sochi compared to the NHL sheet here in Toronto, said Team Canada forward Jonathan Toews. Youre going to see way more offense right away. Its almost a very neutral game when youre in Europe when youre on that big Olympic-size sheet. Its tough to create offense, its tough to shoot from the right areas. Its just a whole different animal.On the smaller NHL ice on Saturday night, Canada smothered the Czechs in their breakout attempts, forced turnovers and created puck-possession changes and, of course, ultimately scoring chances.Its a completely different game playing on the big ice than it is the smaller ice, said Team Canada defenseman Alex Pietrangelo. One, I think were all used to this ice, which makes it a lot better. When you have the size and the speed that we have [among the forwards], put that with the skill and smarts -- these guys know where theyre supposed to be at all times. Theyre some of the most dominant forwards in the league in terms of occupying the offensive zone. Its part of the reason it looked like [the Czechs] were having such a hard time getting the puck out.Former Hockey Canada coach Mike Pelino has been an assistant coach for Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL for the past four years, winning a league championship twice. Hes well-versed on both sides of the ocean and believes the approach here in the World Cup is the right one so far for Team Canada.I agree in that you can afford to have your players be more aggressive on the smaller ice surface, Pelino wrote via email Sunday. The pluses outweigh the minuses. By being aggressive, you force your opponent to work in less time and space ... you have a better opportunity to outnumber your opponent defensively. If you are aggressive and your opponent is able to beat you, one of your teammates is more likely to be close enough that he can help cover for you, and even if your opponent does beat you, he still has less time and space to try and make a play. Basically, if you get beat by your opponent on the Olympic-size surface, he has much more time and space to create a manpower advantage, as you are further out of the play.The most noticeable difference Saturday night was how Canadas defense corps stood up at the blue line and shrunk the Czechs area to navigate out of their zone. Thats something you just cant do on the bigger ice surface.Yeah, you cant [on larger ice] because you dont want to go out there. All the dangerous stuff is in the middle, said Team Canada defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, who has played a ton of international hockey. Whereas here, yes, you can. Were trying to play more aggressive that way and trying to have defensemen stay up and have a good gap with forwards coming back real strong. The combination doesnt give teams much room.Translation? Team Canada should be a lot more explosive offensively in this tournament. A scary thought indeed. Fake Air Max 90 2019 .

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Bryce Petty hopes a chest injury wont keep him on the sideline next weekend.The Jets quarterback was knocked out of New Yorks 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night on the first play of the fourth quarter when he got sandwiched by Cameron Wake and Ndamukong Suh as he completed a 28-yard pass down the right sideline to Robby Anderson.X-rays at the stadium were negative, but Petty is scheduled to have a CT scan on Sunday to make sure he doesnt have a bruised or punctured lung.Ill be good, Petty said after the game. A little sore right now, but Ill be fine.The Jets play at New England next Saturday. Coach Todd Bowles said he would wait until the tests come back on Petty before determining who his starter will be against the Patriots.It appeared few players other than center Wesley Johnson moved at the snap, and Wake and Suh easily converged on Petty in the backfield.It was just a miscommunication, he said. But thats part of football. That stuffs going to happen. Robby made a great play, but it was just unfortunate that I had Cameron Wake and Suh right there. But, hey, if I can take hits from those guys, I think Ill be all right.The team initially annnounced that Petty left after getting the wind knocked out of him and was questionable to return.ddddddddddddPetty remained face-down on the MetLife Stadium turf for several seconds as Jets trainers rushed out to check on him. He got up on both knees after a few moments and was able to walk to the sideline under his own power.Ryan Fitzpatrick, the former starter, replaced Petty, who continued to be examined on the bench.I felt good and they were asking me about taking breaths, and things like that, and it wasnt too bad, Petty said. I couldnt take a deep breath, but as far as breathing normally, I was fine.But he felt a sharp, burning pain in his chest when he took three practice throws on the sideline before heading into the locker room.Everything checked out today, which was great, he said. Well get more tests (Sunday), and we should be good to go.Petty was 20 of 36 for 235 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Fitzpatrick finished 5 of 10 for 31 yards and an INT.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
