Slowly but surely, the Matador Cups national footprint is expanding again. Its New South Wales-centric schedule has been a source of considerable angst among other teams since the tournament was moved to an early season carnival format three years ago, but a smattering of matches in Perth and Brisbane this year mean the Blues will not be the only team playing at home.Last seasons competition was affected by the cancellation of Australias Bangladesh tour for security reasons, meaning it was contested by full strength teams across all six states. This time around the scenario is rather different: not only is the Australian ODI team on tour in South Africa, but numerous bowlers, notably Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, are absent injured or resting.This means a knock-on effect for numerous states, most notably South Australia. The reward for emergent displays in both the Matador Cup and the Sheffield Shield last year mean than no fewer than four first-choice Redbacks - Travis Head, Adam Zampa, Daniel Worrall and Joe Mennie - are in South Africa. The coach Jamie Siddons has acknowledged the challenge ahead.We feel ready despite missing bowlers from last years attack and its going to be difficult without them, Siddons said. But we have a couple of young guys that have some tricks in their repertoire. Its not going to be easy or the same, we have to find another way of doing it with different types of players and were ready and aiming for similar success.I think its really exciting watching the young guys play and the next step is to promote a few more of them like Jake Lehmann, Jake Weatherald, Alex Ross and Alex Carey - who are all really good chances of pushing their names forward now. Our aim is to be successful again and win games and if those guys step up like I think they will we should match last year - maybe were looking at batsmen to step up instead of the bowlers this time.Victoria are another state needing to reach deeper into their squad for bowlers in particular, with John Hastings, Scott Boland and Chris Tremain in South Africa and Peter Siddle and James Pattinson still working their way back from injury. The new coach Andrew McDonald, only recently returned from Leicestershire to replace David Saker, must also work with Glenn Maxwell in the aftermath of the enigmatic allrounders ill-timed bid to move to NSW for the summer.McDonalds old Bushrangers team-mate Brad Hodge has s still more vexing task as the mentor of the Cricket Australia XI, a youthful hodgepodge (no pun intended) of players from across the states who did not make it into the first-choice squads. This is the second of a two-year experiment with the XI, designed to provide additional opportunities for young players against the best of domestic players.The concept has not been universally loved, even if the CA XI recovered last season from a horrid start to win a game over Tasmania and produce a handful of players - Hilton Cartwright, Mitch Swepson, Jimmy Peirson - able to progress further over the course of the season that followed. Many among the states feel the team is emblematic of CAs desire for central developmental control, rather than simply building the most competitive tournament possible. A lack of any senior players to leaven out the youth, even with the likes of Ben Rohrer, Chris Hartley and Chadd Sayers available, has only heightened that impression.Justin Langer, coach of Western Australia, spoke for many of the tension between development and competition. The Sheffield Shield too has been subject to numerous stratagems designed to help the Australian team overall, but experiments like pink ball matches and the use of Dukes balls for a portion of the shield this season has left Langer and others questioning their wisdom.We make Cricket Australia very aware that we have to keep the integrity of the game, he said. We have the best domestic competition in the world, but it is frustrating at times. This season we will play two pink-ball games, three with red Kookaburras and five with Dukes balls and hopefully six with the Dukes. I like consistency.Consistent or not, the Matador will afford many players the chance to either secure their state spots at the outset of the season, or put their names in lights for Australian selection into the future. Whether in Perth, Brisbane or Sydney, many a selection question will get closer to being answered.

The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. Frank Robinson Jersey . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. Tommy John Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. OTTAWA -- -- The Ottawa Senators seem to have a firm grip on the defensively responsible system coach Guy Boucher wants them to play.Now they have to rediscover their scoring touch.The Senators hope that comes Friday when they play host to the Los Angeles Kings, a team that will be trying to catch its breath.Ottawa (8-5-0) surrendered more than two goals just once in the six games its played since Oct. 28. Theyve won four of them, including a 2-1 shootout in Buffalo on Wednesday.At the same time, most of its top players remain in scoring ruts, leaving Ottawa 26th in goals scored.The Senators power play is particularly cold, operating at an 11.1 percent efficiency percentage (four goals on 36 chances) that is also ranked 26th.You just need one, said winger Mark Stone, who skates on the top line with Derick Brassard and Bobby Ryan -- a threesome that has a combined five goals, including three by Ryan. Were struggling, but we still feel like were playing well, creating a lot. We just need one to kind of take a little bit of a deep breath.While the Senators play nine of their next 12 at Canadian Tire Centre, the Kings will be looking at their third game in four nights. Los Angeles started a five-stop road trip with a 7-0 victory in Toronto on Tuesday before falling 4-1 to the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Kings (7-7-0).They got us from behind quite a bit, forced us to turn the puck over, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said after thee setback.dddddddddddd Some of our faster players werent on their game tonight.Winger Tyler Toffoli scored the Kings goal, the first by the first unit power play since opening night.Thats obviously not good, said center Anze Kopitar. We pride ourselves on being the motor of this team and power play is one of those things. That was obviously an encouraging goal but weve got to keep on building. We cant go on slumps like we have been. Weve got to keep hammering away, keep making the plays and taking shots that are there. Well get it done.With goalie Peter Budaj getting playing in Montreal, its expected Jeff Zatkoff will start between the pipes in Ottawa.Zatkoff has faced the Senators once in his NHL career, stopping 33 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss as a Pittsburgh Penguin.The Senators are expected to start No. 1 goalie Craig Anderson, unless he leaves the team for a third time to be with his wife Nicholle as she battles cancer. Anderson lost his last outing by a 3-1 score Tuesday in Nashville, then watched from the bench as backup Mike Condon beat the Sabres. The Senators were outshot 8-0 in overtime before Ryan ended the night with the shootout winner.While Anderson is having a solid start (6-3-0), he hasnt fared well against the Kings. His lifetime record versus Los Angeles is 3-7-4, including a 3.71 goals against average and a .871 save percentage. ' ' '
