LAPEENRANTA, Finland -- Canada will have to play for bronze at the world under-18 hockey championship. Jalen Brunson Jersey . David Kase scored at 6:17 of overtime to give the Czech Republic a 4-3 semifinal win over Canada on Saturday. Kase converted a turnover in the Canadian zone to move the Czechs into the tournament final against the United States on Sunday. The Americans advanced with a 4-1 semifinal victory over Sweden. Canada, the defending champion who erased an early 3-0 deficit, will play the Swedes for the bronze medal on Sunday. "Its not easy," Canadian head coach Kevin Dineen said. "You just dont walk by this, you feel the sting of it and understand its going to be a tough game for both teams. "But it has to be something that we understand about playing for your country. Theres opportunity to finish strong and weve got to come out and show some respect for our country by playing extremely hard." The Czechs dominated overtime, outshooting Canada 5-1 in the extra frame and forcing goalie Mason McDonald to come up big. But the Canadians had a glorious chance to earn the victory when they went on the power play after David Pastrnak was called for hooking Travis Konecny at 2:07, but couldnt come up with the winner. Dineen said that was indeed a lost opportunity for his squad. "Absolutely," he said. "They were able to clear two pucks out and unfortunately for us we didnt have a net presence there. "We had some real skill and some ability to shoot it but nobody standing in front of the net, which was a real issue for us. We needed to capitalize there and I think when you get one of those in overtime you like to think that youve got a real advantage and unfortunately we couldnt get the thing to go in." The Canadians forced overtime with third-period goals by Joe Hicketts and Daniel Audette and Dineen said the effort his team had to expend to erase its early deficit came back to haunt it later on. "Yeah, it did," said Dineen, who led Canadas national womens team to Olympic gold in Sochi, Russia. "These players are used to logging a lot of icetime with their respective junior teams but I dont think theyre used to logging such hard minutes like they had to tonight. "That certainly played into it, fatigue at the end." Jiri Smejkal, Jakub Vrana and Michael Spacek scored in regulation for the Czech Republic, which outshot the Canadians 33-30. Mathew Barzal also scored for Canada. The Czechs wasted no time opening the scoring, with Spaceks goal coming just 1:15 into the contest. Vrana made it 2-0 at 7:37 of the second before Smejkal converted on a two-on-one break at 12:57. Barzal cut Canadas deficit to 3-1 with a power-play goal at 14:51. The Canadians came close moments after, with Ryan Gropp having a great scoring chance off a two-on-one, but couldnt beat Czech goalie Vtek Vanecek. Queeneville also had a glorious opportunity to make it a one-goal game with just over two minutes remaining. Hicketts pulled Canada to within 3-2 when his wrist shot from the point beat a screened Vanecek at 5:02 of the third before Audette scored off a goal-mouth scramble in front of Vanecek at 12:21.

Jose Juan Barea Jersey . -- Josh MacDonalds second goal of the game kept his team alive as the Peterborough Petes edged the host Kingston Frontencas 6-5 in overtime on Friday in Ontario Hockey League playoff action. http://www.mavericksteamofficial.info/dirk-nowitzki-mavericks-jersey/ . Quarterback Drew Willy appeared to injure his throwing hand on the third last play of practice Thursday.Chad Johnsons signing with the Montreal Alouettes capped a month long period of speculation; CFL fans wondering if one of the most notorious receivers in recent memory would actually sign in the league, or if he was just having some fun on Twitter. The player formally known as Ochocinco is officially taking his act north of the border. Hell help the Alouettes at the turnstiles, but will he help them on the field? Johnson hasnt played a professional snap since 2011 with the New England Patriots, filling his time since then trying out for soccer teams, riding bulls, and dancing with the stars. His late career numbers in the NFL were less than impressive as well. The 36-year-old had just 831 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 2010, his last campaign with the Cincinnati Bengals, whom he had his most success with, before capping his time in the NFL with a 276-yard, one touchdown season in New England. The veteran reportedly looked good in his tryout with the Als during their Florida mini-camp however and Montreal GM Jim Popp insists the teams interest is football-based. "Its all buusiness," Popp told reporters in Florida. Wesley Matthews Jersey. "Its real. Hes in great shape. He wants to play and well see how things are." And for Johnsons part, the 11-year NFLer insisted this wasnt another publicity stunt along the lines of his other post-NFL activities. "Its just football. Its football, its not about Montreal. Its about the opportunity to be able to play football again, something I love," Johnson told reporters, adding he was humbled by the opportunity to play in the CFL. And for all the headlines Johnson made during his time with the Bengals and Patriots, he was never considered a bad teammate. Knowing hes not likely to be a locker room cancer, his signing could be a gamble worth taking. With Anthony Calvillo retired, the Alouettes are looking for a new star. Johnson will certainly sell some tickets, but does he have enough gas left in the tank to justify people paying to see him play? The Rouge asks: Can Chad Johnson be successful with the Alouettes? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your!
