KAMLOOPS, B. Joe Carter Jersey .C. - Canada is starting to make a habit of breaking the hearts of its neighbours to the south.Haley Irwin and Rebecca Johnston scored 1:17 apart late in the third period Wednesday as Canada battled back to defeat the United States 3-2 at the Four Nations Cup womens hockey tournamentThe game marked the first meeting between the two countries since Canadas dramatic 3-2 come-from-behind overtime victory in the gold-medal game at the Sochi Olympics.While the drama and stage wasnt quite the same as that memorable February encounter in Russia, Canada again found a way.We seem to always be behind in the third period, but we have a confidence, were eager, said Johnston, who also scored Canadas first goal. We just wont stop until the very last second.Canada was badly outplayed for long stretches Wednesday and barely had a shot in the third period until Irwin took a pass from Jamie Lee Rattray in slot and fired a spinning backhand off the post and in to tie the score with 4:57 left in regulation.Its obviously not the situation we want to be in, said Irwin, whose team clinched a spot in Saturdays final. But at the same time we just made sure to stick together.With the crowd at Interior Savings Centre urging Canada on, Johnston then tipped home a Courtney Birchard shot on a power play with 3:40 left on the clock to give the hosts their first lead of the night.I felt like we got off to a slow start, said Canadian head coach Doug Derraugh. It looked like nerves were playing a factor early on, but then as the game got going I thought we played better and better. Both teams battled hard, both teams had chances. Close game, lots of excitement was pretty much what I expected.Genevieve Lacasse made 30 saves for Canada, including a couple in the dying seconds as the Americans frantically searched for an equalizer, while Birchard and Rattray picked up two assists each.Shiann Darkangelo and Dani Cameranesi had the goals for the U.S., which largely controlled the game for 55 minutes but was unable to hang on despite only allowing 21 shots on goalie Alex Rigsby.I think we just need to manage the puck a little better, be a little smarter, said U.S. head coach Ken Klee. We played a great game. When you outshoot somebody 16-5 in a period you dont usually give up two and not get any. We competed hard. It was a good game.For all the talk of the Olympic rematch that saw Canada score late in regulation to tie it before winning in that dramatic overtime, Wednesdays game lacked some of the emotion that has been a staple of the two teams until late in the third period.I dont think our team was quite prepared for the speed of the game tonight, said Derraugh. Theyre a skilled team, they play fast, theyre physical, they handle the puck well, so they can control the game. You have to be smart with the puck and you have to play the body.Hockey Canada and USA Hockey each brought vastly different rosters to Kamloops from the ones that suited up in Sochi as the countries look to develop younger players ahead of the 2018 Games. On the Canadian side, forwards Hayley Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford, Caroline Ouellette and Gillian Apps, as well as goaltenders Shannon Szabados and Charline Labonte, are among the 10 veterans who were left at home, while the Americans are without 11 of their Olympians.Tied 1-1 after first period, Darkangelo gave the Americans the lead at 8:37 of the second, batting home a loose puck in front of Lacasse on the power play.Canada had three straight man-advantage chances to end the period, but was unable to find a way past Rigsby, who made a couple of good stops, including a nice glove save off Jennifer Wakefield.The Americans opened the scoring just 2:08 into the opening period when Cameranesi buried her second in as many games in her first tournament with the national team.Lacasse had to be sharp on a glove save a few minutes later before her teammates tied the score midway through the period on the power play. Rattray fed Bailey Bram at the side of the net, who in turn found Johnston on Rigsbys doorstep for her first of the tournament at 10:23.I think we had really great shifts and really great moments, and then we were hemmed into our own end for periods of time as well, said Irwin. Thats a learning curve for us and well get better.Canada defeated Sweden 2-0 on Tuesday to open the tournament, hours after the Americans topped Finland 5-0.

Vonn punctuated her near-perfect season in perfect fashion Friday, earning her fourth overall World Cup title with a dominating giant slalom victory.TORONTO – Dustin McGowan is determined to get to the bottom of the fatigue which plagues him during his starts. In-between outings, hell become better acquainted with a treadmill. "Actually Im going to start running a lot more, just see if that helps with endurance," McGowan told TSN.ca on Friday afternoon. If only it was that simple. McGowan is a type 1 diabetic. "I think a lot of it, for me, Im starting to figure out its got something to do with my blood sugar," he said. "Its so high." To put it into context, according to the National Institute of Health, the normal blood glucose level for a non-diabetic should be less than 125 milligrams per deciliter. Once McGowan takes the mound, his readings skyrocket to disconcerting levels. "I get so anxious and stressful and nervous leading up to the game," said McGowan. "Before I go out, Ill be fine, itll be 140, 150 and, without drinking anything or eating anything after I come out of the game, its over 300." In the ongoing effort to find a solution, hes going to take in insulin while hes pitching. "I may start wearing my pump during the game just to see if (the blood sugar) levels out a little bit," he said. McGowans injury history is well documented. He was a mainstay in the Blue Jays starting rotation in 2007, winning 12 games in a breakout season, and appeared poised to live up to the promise his status as a top prospect suggested. After remaining healthy through the first half of the 2008 season, he was forced from a July start with shoulder pain. Three weeks later, McGowans season was over when it was announced he would need surgery to repair his labrum. He had knee surgery in 2009 and a second shoulder procedure in 2010, this time to fix a torn rotator cuff. After returning to the rotation in September 2011 and making five starts at the end of the season, he experienced more shoulder problems in 2012, which led to another surgery. McGowan doesnt blame diaabetes for his injuries but he believes the condition has hampered his ability to make hastened returns. Satchel Paige Jersey. "Recovery has been a pain because even when I get a blister or a cut, it takes forever to heal," said McGowan. "I can only imagine after getting my arm sewn back together what it was like. In that way, its been brutal but I dont think its done anything to cause me to get hurt. Its just the healing process takes a little longer." Finally last season, McGowan rejoined the club in June and settled into a relief role in which he posted a 2.45 ERA in 25 appearances. His return to the rotation this year is a testament to his perseverance but also a reflection of the Blue Jays desperation. There were no other immediate options after Ervin Santana spurned the club for the greener pastures of the National League and a contract with the Atlanta Braves. McGowan would like his blood sugar level to be between 150 and 160 milligrams per deciliter while hes pitching. Hes as concerned with the reading dropping too low as he is with disturbing spikes and so hes okay with a slightly higher count than what a non-diabetic would expect. "When youre doing exercises, its supposed to go down," said McGowan. "I think just because of the stressful situations pitching and stuff like that, it just causes it to boot up a little bit." Manager John Gibbons is openly musing about using a six-man starting rotation with the schedule about to get busier. The Jays have one off-day between the start of the next road trip, Tuesday in Kansas City, and Sunday, June 1. There are only four off-days remaining between now and the All-Star Break in mid-July. After admitting hed wondered to himself if a return to the bullpen makes the most sense, McGowan wants to clarify: he wishes to remain in the starting rotation. "Its something Im not going to shy away from," said McGowan. "Im going to do it until they take it out of my hand."
