for his first test wicket and had an impressive return of 4-58 fro

As always the first round of the playoffs provides plenty of great hockey. Upsets, comebacks, late goals, great goals and great saves. The opening round had it all. As for the Jets there was plenty of attention paid to the Ontario Hockey League final, where Mark Scheifele was having a great championship series as Barrie and London battled. Scheifele missed game seven due to injury, as London scored the winning goal with one second left to advance to the Memorial Cup. London will join Portland, Halifax and host Saskatoon. Interesting father/son note – Saskatoon last hosted the Memorial Cup in 1989 with Tie Domi competing with Peterborough, here in 2013 Max Domi will compete with London. NHL scouts will love this tournament with the top three picks all in the event, those being Seth Jones, Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin. Plus a number of other top picks set to strut their stuff. Back to Scheifele, despite missing the last game he walked away with the OHL playoff scoring title going 15-26-41 in 21 games, to finish nine points ahead of Domi. Scheifele had back-to-back five point games in the final series, including a four goal game. Another Jets prospect will compete for CHL player of the year honours. Big Adam Lowry went 45-43-88 in 72 games with Swift Current and was named the WHL player of the year. And after signing with the Jets but not getting into any games, Jacob Trouba joined Team USA at the World Hockey Championships. All NHL teams, including the Jets, are now busy preparing their final lists in preparation for the NHL Draft, a one day event this year, set for June 30. (All day draft coverage on TSN and TSN 1290). Also on the “to do” list is to re-sign players like Zach Bogosian, Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little. During his post-season news conference, general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff talked about injuries to a number of players as the Jets battled for a playoff spot. There was some concern that Evander Kane and Mark Stuart may require surgery, but it now appears rehab and some rest is all that is needed. Cheveldayoff talked about how everything was magnified due to a shortened season and all games in conference. Plus the importance of EVERY game, starting with game one, as the roller coaster season had the Jets jumping from winning the division to drafting near the top. Cheveldayoff also talked about perhaps having to create space on the roster for some of the young players. With good training camps Trouba and Scheifele will get serious looks. If they deserve to play at the top level, they will, and the opportunity is there. Another huge question is what changes will the Jets have to make in style of play with the switch to the Western Conference. “We knew it was eventually going to happen – us moving”, added Cheveldayoff, “We got bigger in preparation of the move.” So how much will that play into how the Jets draft, which players they want to re-sign and which players will they look at via trade and unrestricted free agency. So as you play arm chair general manager, keep that in mind. As you watch playoffs it is obvious the Western Conference is tighter checking, not as wide open and more physical. For fans, the move is exciting. A number of teams have yet to experience MTS Centre. Unlike the upcoming schedule where all teams will play a home-and-home series, that was not the case two years ago, and of course this past season saw no East-West play at all. Fans have not seen the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Nashville Predators and Columbus Blue Jackets (The Blue Jackets did play a split squad pre-season game in Winnipeg). The 2013-14 schedule should be out around the middle of July, in the meantime enjoy the playoffs.

PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka -- Facing a deficit of 86 runs, Sri Lanka reached 6-1 in its second innings in the first test against Australia before persistent rain brought play to an early close on Wednesday.Australia made an early breakthrough when Kusal Perera, promoted to opener in place of regular Dimuth Karunaratne, was trapped lbw by fast bowler Mitchell Starc for four.An early tea was taken shortly after, but no more play was possible -- meaning that more than two full sessions of the match have already been lost due to rain.Earlier, spinners Rangana Herath and Lakshan Sandakan took four wickets each as Sri Lanka -- having scored a lowly 117 after electing to bat first -- dismissed Australia for 203 in its first innings.Adam Voges, who top scored for Australia with a watchful 47 off 115 balls featuring only three boundaries, thinks Australia fell a bit short.We felt if we had one or two good partnerships we would have probably got a 100-plus lead, Voges said. A little bit of missed opportunity there. We know in these conditions you need to get bigger scores and big partnerships.But Australia could not get on top for long enough spells against Sri Lankas new-look spin attack.Having bowled out opener Joe Burns for three runs on the first day, Herath continued his good form on Wednesday by claiming the prize wickets of captain Steve Smmith (30) and Usman Khawaja (26) before snaring Peter Nevill (2) to finish with 4-49.dddddddddddd.Sandakan clean bowled Mitchell Marsh for his first test wicket and had an impressive return of 4-58 from 21.2 overs on his debut.Any bowlers confidence improves when the batsmen continue to get beaten, the 25-year-old Sandakan said. Thats when I felt that I could do my part as a pair with Rangana.On a difficult pitch, and with Australia resuming on the second morning at 66-2, Herath had Smith stumped and then trapped Khawaja lbw as Australia slipped to 70-4.But Australia recovered thanks to 60-run partnership between Voges and Mitchell Marsh, which was broken when left-arm wrist spinner Sandakan bowled right-hander Marsh with a straighter delivery for 31.Herath struck again shortly after by having Nevill caught by Kusal Perera to leave Australia on 137-6.Voges continued to defy Sri Lanka but his resistance ended when he was caught at slip by Kusal Mendis off seamer Nuwan Pradeep -- who had removed opener David Warner for a duck on the first day -- leaving the visitors on 160-7.Sandakan cleaned up the tail, but met resistance from fellow spinner Nathan Lyon, who scored a breezy 17 before Sandakan got him lbw.
