ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Even on an off night, the Abbotsford Heat showed the patience and skill required to sit atop the American Hockey Leagues standings. The Heat gave up an early goal but battled back and took over the game in Wednesdays 6-2 defeat of the Iowa Wild. Abbotsford trailed 1-0 and 2-1 until the Heat scored twice in 15 seconds. "We really had some bad breakdowns," said Heat head coach Troy Ward. "I thought, Is this one of those nights where its a typical midweek game? We dont play a lot of those in Abbotsford, and it was like, Here we go, its a 6-5 shootout but then we settled in a little bit. "The critical juncture for me was we scored that third goal. Once we got up 3-2, we kind of relaxed a little bit and we settled in and I thought we played a little bit better defensively." Greg Nemisz scored that goal. The Calgary Flames 2008 first round pick was playing in his 200th career AHL game. "Its something to be proud of," said Nemisz of the milestone. "Its not easy to play 200 professional games." The 23-year-old has 81 points in that span, to go with his one assist in 15 NHL games. "Nemo is still forefront in the organizations mind," said Ward. "If you look at all the players who have donned the Heat jersey and played the 200 games, hes one of the most consistent performers. He obviously stubbed his toe last year -- he was coming off an injury at the start of the year and he just didnt have a real good year. "But so far, I think hes gotten out of the gates parallel to his first two years, where he got right around 30 points. Were happy with that, were still developing and working on parts of his game that are still coming." Ben Street scored twice, picking up his team-high 16th goal of the season, giving Novembers AHL player of the month 23 points in his last 15 games. Markus Granlund had a goal and an assist for Abbotsford (20-6-2), giving him a 10-game point streak in which he has 13 points. Brett Olson had a goal and two assists. Michael Ferland also scored, Corban Knight and Kane Lafranchise had two assists apiece, while Joni Ortio made 22 saves. "We have the forwards that are capable of scoring when they want to," said Lafranchise. The Heat needed just 20 shots to get to six goals. The finished with 26 and wish they had more. "We were a little opportunistic tonight," said Nemisz. "We made some good plays. All in all, I dont think we played as well as we wanted to but we definitely had luck tonight." Brett Bulmer had a goal and an assist for Iowa (8-13-1), while Erik Haula also scored. Johan Gustafsson stopped 20 shots in the loss. The Wild opened the scoring just 64 seconds into the game. Bulmer recovered the puck in the corner and quickly centred for Haula who converted for his fifth goal of the year. "Its just one mistake in the back our net so we tried not to get too down about that," said Nemisz. Abbotsford tied it around the eight-minute mark. Olson crossed the blue-line and fed Ferland rushing down the left wing. The Brandon, Man. native beat Gustafsson stick side with a quick shot, giving him six goals on the season. However Iowa got a power play shortly after to regain its lead. Bulmer raced down the right side and beat Ortio glove side, top corner for his ninth of the year. The Heat took the lead with two goals in 25 seconds. First Street picked up his 15th of the season, one-timing a centring feed by Josh Jooris at 14:40. Then Nemisz recorded his fifth of the season, chipping a loose puck past Gustafsson after Knight threw it on the goal. Granlund got his 11th of the season at 5:10 of second period. Kane Lafranchise threw the puck on net and Granlund corralled the rebound, tucking it between Gustafssons skate and the post. Street scored his second at 14:55. Knight dished him a backhand pass that Street one-timed, top shelf, giving the Heat a commanding 5-2 lead. The offensive continued in the third when Olson scored at 8:50 on the power play. He redirected a perfect pass from Lafranchise for his fifth of the year. The Heats power play finished 2 for 3 and has been red-hot of late, ranking them second in the league with a 26.8 success rate.

While making her decision, Superior Court Judge Renee Korn rejected a motion by Sharpers lawyers to release him on house arrest and said Arizona authorities want to extradite the Super Bowl champion to face trial in that state after he is tried on similar charges in California. In Los Angeles, the 38-year-old Sharper has pleaded not guilty to charges involving the rape and drugging of two women he met in a West Hollywood bar. He was previously released on $1 million bail in the California case but turned himself in on Feb. 27 after an arrest warrant was issued in New Orleans. He has not been charged in that state. Sharper is also under investigation in Florida and Nevada. Sharper was indicted on Tuesday in Tempe, Ariz., on charges of drugging and raping two women in November. Sharpers attorneys want a hearing to set bail in Arizona, but their client would have to be present. "We know that Darren will vigorously deny tthe allegations," Sharpers Arizona attorney Skip Donau said Wednesday.dddddddddddd "We are hopeful of vindication." In a bail motion filed last month, a Los Angeles County investigator described a pattern in which the former football star met women at clubs or parties and lured them to a hotel room, where they were allegedly drugged and raped. The New Orleans warrant says police learned from witnesses that Sharper and an associate had acknowledged having nonconsensual sex with two women. Sharpers attorneys say he never made such statements. The warrant does not elaborate on how the information was obtained or disclose the names of the witnesses. Korn set another court appearance for Sharper for March 24. Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Green Bay Packers as a rookie and was part of a successful championship run while with the New Orleans Saints. He retired after the 2010 season and was working as an analyst for the NFL Network before being fired recently. Associated Press Writer Jacques Billeaud in Phoenix contributed to this report. ' ' ' |
