and dominating throughout the game really know what to expect and i think the spirit of the game we kind of got caught off guard a little bit you know it's a talented young man you know they they waited on a. team canada seem to be confused and just didn't know what to do on the biggest size ice rink which proved an obstacle for them it's a it's just a lot bigger than the speed of the game is so much higher and there's so much more space it makes a very tough to defend. and obviously the office of plays that we used back. don't work out here so it's going to take a little bit of adjust them but that's what the exhibition games for while the red stars put up a really good effort and flurry of ghouls was just a matter of time in the end the home side thrashed their rivals nine to the final score team canada were furious with a devastating defeat and a hard game turned out to be a harsh one with several very painful body checks which could spell injuries for the russians. a month. frankly i haven't even heard of this canadian league but

we stayed focused and every moment we should always be very careful with the canadians and keen to head up as well was plates off and try to several of our guys got serious hits here from. despite the seven goal cushion the match proved once again that an encounter between russian cannon illness is always a real correction concern about out of our team. the formula one now where red bull sebastian vettel has playing pole position for the chinese grand prix that is the third time in three races he's at the front of the grid while there was disappointment from russia vitaly petrov had mechanical problems and he will start back in ten or vettel was in pole in the first three races of the season which he wanting needed a hat trick with a blistering that finishing seven tenths of a second ahead of mclaren jenson button qualified in front of to make these hamilton smiles turn three of them b n but little love will be lost in

tomorrow's race sadie's michael ross was all fastest head of the ferrari's run a grand ran aground to a halt during qualifying will start in ten after saying it was something wrong with his red bulls mark webber also had mechanical problems on the grid but at least his teammates happy. with the today we did a good job one more time but all that is just tomorrow so you know obviously we're looking to score some points tomorrow and there will be a long race i think we can be as happy as we can be with the car with everything you know around us and finally the golfer who shot to fame after shooting a sixteen at a single hole has bounced back and even laughed about his nightmare at the texas open american kevin our return to the course of his second round with a point to prove following his calamitous score of sixteen on the night the day before he managed to our it on friday finishing with a round of seventy seven twelve spreads better than his previous round and that

wasn't a bad score as the wins made everyone struggle is a seven way tie for the age old debate is the monkey on. but now it's placed. i could avoid it but not again. i was hoping to make a birdie or. drive it down the right side i wasn't i was going to work because you know that's just not the way i want to finish so i had just missed it very well. right and i had if i would. on the green and to try to forget for all and that is this oh if a man was got more like. chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission. a mission he successfully accomplished.
