But shifting gears to the stanley cup playoffs, we're the lone canadian team left in contention. The edmonton oilers are in the lone star state for game one of the western conference finals against the dallas stars after a scoreless opening twenty will hop into the second period. Brett coolac gets the pocket the point his shot gets blocked but a fortunate bounce for leons recital he cannot be stopped. He's got at least a point in every single game in the postseason ludacris one up again in a few minutes later though dallas working it around a centring feed for the lyndell gets blocked and mcdavid himan are loose on a two on one that

is nightmare fuel for dallas mcdavid tries to send it across for heimann it gets blocked but himon the 50 golman follows up and slides it through the wickets of jake ottinger that's twelfth of the playoffs the oilers faithful outside rogers place are going nuts and edmonton stunned the dallas crowd and are but the stars aren't going down without a fight. An errant pass by brett coolac is picked up by jagmeet then he outplayed skinner and the puck is on the goal line for tyler sagan. He jams it home to make it a one goal game but we will go to the later in the third period. It's jason robertson along the outside he takes a shot and it's a beautiful bounce right for tyler sagana ties it up at two inside his second goal the game and overtime is just kicking off as we speak now still on the ice where this afternoon team canada faced off against team slovakia in their first elimination game with hopes of punching their ticket to the semi-finals. >> Less than three minutes gone by in the opening period. Gerard mccann, he sticks to the side flip set up and over the stick of the slovakian net minder and it's the seattle cracken star gets canada on the board first but 90 seconds later the puck will find bonbright and biram the newest buffalo sabres at the point his shot is stopped. But it's pulu du bois who takes a whack at it and it flutters into the top corner in canada strike twice in the first four minutes go up to now middle frame dylan gunther hits the brakes finds corner bernhard and look at that feed over to nic call for the one timer canada regains their one goal lead now to the third we go gunther this pass is just out of the reach of nick paul and paul the lightning forward sends it back to the net for gunther and he goes top corner three for one canada lead now the canadians they would hold off the late slovakian pressure and are off to the semi-finals will they'll face off against either finland or switzerland on saturday. >> Gunther I think we got to our game pretty quick. You know, two good goals. Jordan made some big saves for us. There was some timely plays by a lot of guys on the ice but we got better as the game went on and we fought through some adversity at the end there you're now just two games away from potentially having a gold medal hanging around your neck . What do you want to hone in on these last few days? Yeah, I think just enjoy the experience. I mean the crowds here have been unbelievable. This is nothing like I've ever played in before so I have some fun, enjoy it and you know, take it one game at a time on dion and the blue jays kicked off their six game road trip in detroit to take down the tigers . >> But before the first pitch there was a bit of delay due to the power outage in the detroit tigers broadcast. But kevin gassman, he's making ninth start of the season and he just looking for a bounce back performance after giving up eight hits and four runs against the rays last week, he gets matt bearly chasing with that low splitter low in inside and a few batters later gozman gets kirsi carpenter swinging on that splitter again he was lights out in this one ten strikeouts only allowing three hits top seven now to one one ballgame don't ever belts this one too deep right centre field and that's out of here home runs and back to that game savar show and it's a two run shot three to one for the blue jays and we'll jump ahead to the top of the ninth. It's now seven to one blanchet guerrero junior says I want a little bit of that homerun jacket for myself that is a bar four hundred feet in it's out of their nine to one for the jays would be your final back to back games they put nine runs and they now it's finally good to see the blue jays putting up the bats. I think it was a home run jacket. >> I was going to say when did this home run last game? So finally I would like get some home runs if I got a jacket too. >> I think that passion is my passion and and see that motivated me in sports I don't know but I'm also very passionate about weather. >> So we'll look at that after the break Ashley Homestore's 10-Day Sale means you can shop for great deals on just what you want right now!
