LONDON, Ont. Simon Mignolet Jersey . -- All eyes were on Nazem Kadri. They were always going to be on Kadri. After signing a two-year contract with the Maple Leafs just before the start of training camp, Kadri responded with scoring Torontos first goal in a 4-3 pre-season win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. "I know I have to go out and play well in each and every game. It will be a long season and quite a grind," said Kadri, who starred in the Ontario Hockey League in the same Budweiser Gardens with the London Knights. Kadri and Mason Raymond each had one goal and an assist while Troy Bodie and Paul Ranger also scored for Toronto. Brayden Schenn and Nick Cousins set the pace for the Flyers with a goal and an assist apiece and Doug Clarkson also scored for Philadelphia, which trailed 3-0 before Clarksons goal. Performing in his hometown, it was Kadri opening the offence as the Leafs scored three in 3:05 to manufacture an early 3-0 advantage. Kadri began a two-on-one rush inside his own blue-line, used a drag move to awkwardly put Philadelphia defenceman Hal Gill out of position then snapped the puck past Steve Mason. "I had almost forgotten what its like to score in this building," said Kadri. Just 56 seconds after Kadri put the Maple Leafs on the scoreboard, Bodie, who split his AHL time between Portland and Norfolk last year and was signed as a free agent by Toronto in July, made it 2-0 by beating Mason in close. Bodie received his pass on the doorstep from 2013 first-round pick Frederik Gauthier. The third Toronto goal displayed the speed of Raymond, who is with the Leafs on a tryout basis after 374 games with the Vancouver Canucks. He scored short-handed on a breakaway after stealing the puck at his own blue-line and out-raced Philadelphias Erik Gustafsson down the right-wing side. "The puck hit his shin on the play," said Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle. "Raymond has the type of speed where its going to be hard for anyone to catch him." Philadelphia would rebound with three consecutive goals, including Clarkson in the first and two more from Schenn and Cousins in the second. After netminder changes by both clubs, Ranger welcomed Anthony Stolarz by converting a rebound on a give-and-go effort by Kadri and David Broll. In 28 minutes of work, Toronto starter Reimer stopped 14 of 17, while counterpart Mason stopped 12 of 15. The Maple Leafs Christopher Gibson didnt allow a goal in 32 minutes and was credited with 13 saves, while Stolarz was beaten in his first minute, but settled down to make 14 saves on 15 shots. Carlyle was quick to point out post-game that there is a large difference between the first exhibition game and the regular NHL pace. "I would give this game an overall average grade. We are trying to establish some of the staples of a hockey system here," he said. "It is interesting to watch how some players separate themselves from the rest of the group. "The NHL plays at another level and you cant make some of the mistakes we did tonight in certain areas of the ice." Six former or current Knights dressed including Kadri, Dave Bolland and Ryan Rupert for Toronto, and Mason, Stolarz and Zac Rinaldo for the Flyers. After winning a Stanley Cup with Chicago earlier this year -- and a Memorial Cup with the Knights in 2005 -- Bolland was traded to Toronto at the June draft table. On Sunday, he started the game alongside current Knight and Leafs draftee Ryan Rupert. "Ryan has been working very hard and doing all the right things," said Bolland. "He is on the right track to a pro hockey career. If he continues to do all the things the Hunters (London coach and president Dale and general manager Mark) say that will also go a long way in helping his career." These two clubs meet again on Monday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto as the Leafs tune-up schedule includes eight games over 14 days before opening the regular season Oct. 1 in Montreal. The Flyers open their official schedule versus Toronto at home on Oct. 2. Thomas Meunier Jersey .

"We were left with the overall impression that the team wasnt trending toward being able to compete for a Stanley Cup," Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said in a news conference at the clubs arena. "And that was just a clear signal and why it was time to make those changes.VERNON, B.C. -- Derek Falloon could not have asked for a better way to end his junior hockey career Sunday. Falloons goal at 15:01 of overtime sealed the Yorkton Terriers first RBC Cup championship with a 4-3 victory over the Carleton Place Canadians. He jammed in a rebound to cap Yorktons comeback from a 3-1 deficit with less than three minutes left in regulation time. "Its unbelievable. Its just the best feeling and I dont think Ill ever score a bigger goal than that for the rest of my life," said Falloon, 21, who has used up his junior eligibility. Falloons goal gave the Terriers their first Canadian Junior A championship in their fifth trip to the tournament. Yorkton placed second to the Burnaby Express, led by current Ottawa Senators centre Kyle Turris, in their last trip to the RBC Cup in Streetsville, Ont., in 2006. The Terriers had finished no better than third in their three other trips, all in the 1990s. The puck barely crossed the line as Carleton Place goaltender Guillaume Therien attempted to cover it. While the crowd waited, the referee confirmed it was a goal. After trailing 3-1 at the end of the second period, the Terriers forced overtime with goals from Tanner Lishchynsky and Dylan Johnson eight seconds apart in the last three minutes of the third period. Daylan Gatzke had Yorktons other goal and Kale Thompson made 31 saves. Anthony McVeigh, Stephen Baylis and Andy Sturtz scored for the Canadians while Therien stopped 42 shots in the losing effort. Falloons overtime winner was his second of the tournament. He also scored in extra time against Dauphin in the round robin. "I guess I just happened to be at the right place at the right time," said Falloon. "Im sure any of the boys could have (done) it. Lucky me, I guess." Falloon missed the first three games of this tournament with his third concussion of the season, suffered in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs. He missed most of the Western Canadian championship tournament, from which Yorkton qualified for the RBC Cup. Yorkton coach Don Chesney said Falloons return brought life to Yorktons lineup. "He has a flair for the dramatic," said Chesney. "I joked around (saying) his first (overtime goal) didnt make the back of the net. (The RBC Cup-winning) one, I think, made it -- maybe a few inches over the goal-line. But in 10, 20 years, thatll be the nicest goal he ever scored and the biggest goal he ever scored." Johnson also provided some drama as his tying goal, at 17:20 of the third period atoned for an interference penalty he took at 14:05. "To bee honest, when we got that penalty with five minutes left, it was not looking too good, and they shut us down pretty good," said Chesney. Belgium Blank Jersey. "We didnt create a lot of high-quality scoring chances." Added Johnson: "That (goal) felt great, especially after getting that penalty a couple minutes before that. Getting that goal was unreal. It brought the life back into the fans. After we got that, we knew this was ours." Until then, the Canadians had a good reason to think they would claim the crown in their first RBC Cup appearance. "Looking back on it now, maybe I should have called a timeout after the second goal," said Carleton Place coach Jason Clarke. "But weve just been so resilient all year. Things didnt really seem to bother us." Baylis put the Canadians ahead 2-1 at 4:12 of the second period as he fired a shot from the slot after his teammates fought to keep the puck in at the blue-line along the boards with little space to work with. Sturtz increased the Carleton Place advantage midway through the second, stealing the puck from a Terrier in one corner and skating to the opposite side to put in a backhand. But just when it looked like the Canadians could begin to rest easy, Lishchynsky and Johnson sent the game to overtime, setting up Falloons special moment. "Were proud (of getting to the final), but its a sour taste, for sure," said Clarke. Falloon received advice from his cousin Pat Falloon, the former NHLer who was drafted second overall by the San Jose Sharks after Eric Lindros in 1991. "(Pat) was talking to my dad," said Falloon. "We family-farm with him (in Foxwarren, Man.) We keep in touch with him. He was texting my dad and telling me to keep calm and just do what I can do." The RBC Cup adds a second Canadian junior crown to the extended Falloon family. Pat Falloon won a Memorial Cup with the Spokane Chiefs in 1991, when he was named the tournaments most valuable player. "Ive heard stories," said the younger Falloon. Falloons hockey future is far from certain. He only knows how he will spend his summer. "Were just going to celebrate, and then Im going to go back (home)," he said. "Ive got to get to work on the farm."
