  导出博客文章LONDON, Ont. San Antonio Spurs Jerseys . -- Anthony Mantha was a goal-a-game man in the regular season and the playoffs for the Val-dOr Foreurs. The 19-year-old from Longueil, Que., was rewarded for that consistency with the Canadian Hockey Leagues player-of-the year award Saturday. Mantha had 81 goals in 81 games and added another 77 assists for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Foreurs. "For sure Im proud of that," the towering winger said. "Its a lot of goals, but the credit needs to come back to my teammates that helped me out through this year. "I think it was just a great season. I put a lot of pressure on myself by leading the team on the ice, off the ice also." Mantha was chosen for the CHLs top individual trophy ahead of Western Hockey League nominee Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice and the Ontario Hockey Leagues Connor Brown of the Erie Otters. Brown was the CHLs top scorer in the regular season with 45 goals and 83 assists in 68 games. Reinhart earned the CHLs sportsmanlike award for recording just 11 minutes in penalties during the season. Mantha accepted the top-player award not long after the Foreurs were eliminated from the MasterCard Memorial Cup. The Foreurs fell 4-3 in triple overtime to the Edmonton Oil Kings in Fridays semifinal. The game was the longest game in Memorial Cup history at 102 minutes 42 seconds of play. Manthas teammates had already departed for Val-dOr on Saturday morning, but the right-winger remained in London to accept the player-of-the-year trophy. "It does feel weird," Mantha acknowledged. "Today, its an individual trophy that I won. For sure, I would have liked way better the trophy from (Sunday), but I mean Ill take this one. "Its a trophy that my teammates helped me out to win this year and I need to give them the credit." Mantha, six foot five and 204 pounds, finished the Memorial Cup with a goal and three assists. His was the lone goal in a 1-0 win over the host Knights to open the tournament. Mantha was drafted in the first round and 20th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2013 NHL entry draft. Foreurs coach Mario Durocher said during the Memorial Cup that Mantha returned from his first NHL training camp a changed player. "Last year, I would say a lot of critics were on my consistency level," Mantha said. "When I went to Detroit they tried to put that mentality in me and I think it did work for this year. I came back with that attitude and it was just a great thing for me." He was also Canadas top scorer at this years world junior hockey championship with five goals and six assists in six games. Previous winners of the CHLs top-player award include Jonathan Drouin (2013), Jordan Eberle (2011), John Tavares (2007), Sidney Crosby (2004, 2005), Brad Richards (2000), Eric Lindros (1991) and Joe Sakic (1988). "Its a great award to win and I think its something thats going to stay in mind for a few months if not for a few years, but I need to pass to another level in my career," Mantha said. "I think Ill be ready for it." Derrick Pouliot of the Western Hockey Leagues Portland Winterhawks was named the CHLs top defenceman. The Pittsburgh Penguins prospect had 70 points in 58 games with a plus-minus of plus-40. Jordan Cooke of the Kelowna Rockets earned the trophy for best goaltender. The 20-year-old posted a record of 39-7-0-4 with a goals-against average of 2.28 and a save percentage of .922, Halifax Mooseheads forward Nikolaj Ehlers was chosen top rookie. The 18-year-old from Denmark had a plus-minus rating of plus-65 while contributing 49 goals and 53 assists in 63 games. The coaching award went to Eric Veilleux of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, who reached the QMJHL final before falling in seven games to Val-dOr. Kingston Frontenacs forward Sam Bennett was selected the top NHL prospect. He is ranked first overall among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting for the draft next month. Erie Otter forward Connor McDavid won the scholastic award with an 87 per cent average in his second semester of Grade 11. Moose Jaw Warriors captain Sam Fioretti was recognized for his humanitarian work off the ice. He works with Moose Jaw police in their anti-bullying program. Pau Gasol Jersey . On Wednesday night, they showed that stellar defence and a little small ball can get the job done too. With pinch-runner Kevin Pillar aboard after Dioner Navarro opened the bottom of the ninth with a single, Anthony Gose dropped down an excellent bunt along the first-base line. Tony Parker Jersey . -- Conner Bleackley got it done in regulation time and in the shootout.TORONTO – It was a cool March morning in Montreal when Brian Burke, then the leader of the Maple Leafs, sat at a podium, full of piss and vinegar over the 18-wheeler collapse, to explain why it was time to fire the head coach. Burke claimed it would be cruel and unusual punishment to let Ron Wilson coach another game at the Air Canada Centre, where chants of Fire Wilson rained down less than a week earlier. He claimed that the players werent paying attention, werent buying the product Wilson was selling. And thus, he said, it was time for a new coach to assume control. …at some point players tune out the coach, Burke said in the spring of 2012. And I think the shelf life of a coach is tied directly to how hard that coach is. The harder that coach is on players, the shorter the shelf life usually is unless you have success. Under Brendan Shanahan and a revamped management team, the Leafs are once again staring at that same question, only for the coach who replaced Wilson on that day more than two and a half years ago, Randy Carlyle. The Carlyle-led Leafs are under the microscope again after two disastrous defeats in a matter of days, one to the worst team in the league and another which saw Nashville score nine times. Youre always in a position of doubt when things go awry with your hockey club, Carlyle said of his job security, less than 24 hours after the 9-2 loss at home to the Predators. Firing Carlyle would be the easy decision, the simplest choice to make for the short-term. The more difficult questions, however, lie at the core of a roster which has proven to be flawed, a roster thats questionable to even reach the postseason with all parts functioning, let alone compete for a Cup. Its not Randys fault, said Phil Kessel after a 90-minute practice on Wednesday morning. Obviously were on the ice. Were the ones that are playing the games. I dont think people should be blaming him. Like Wilson, Carlyle bears his share of blame. Hes been unable to sell his product, hasnt affected defensive improvement and has proven mostly stubborn to change. But bigger than him is that core – one thats mostly locked up for the long-term – and what to do about it. A crowd of sizeable contracts make it an especially difficult challenge to confront. Eight players are on the books until 2018, three more until 2020 and beyond. How to wade through those waters, free up cap room and start rebuilding from the ground up is the real task at hand for Shanahan, both this season and beyond. Because hes never run an NHL front office before, itts difficult to predict where he might go, though his measured approach shortly after being hired in April may provide a road map for his first real crisis-point as team president. David Robinson Jersey. Rather than react instinctively to the destruction of another late season collapse, Shanahan took a more careful, introspective look at what he had. He assessed all corners of the organization before ultimately deciding upon a course that saw Carlyle kept, three assistant coaches fired, two more hired, two longtime front office members dismissed and then three more hired after that, including Mark Hunter as director of player personnel most recently. Comprehensive evaluation of the roster would seem to be the wisest path in the present and right now, that evaluation is limited to just 19 games – though the failure of the roster in each of the past three seasons would seem to be difficult to ignore. The Leafs boast and have boasted one of the highest payrolls in the league and thats a problem given their limited success – just one playoff appearance and nothing more – a problem that Shanahan and his staff need to somehow alleviate. Does that mean parting with Phaneuf, who still has six years left with an annual cap hit of $7 million? (Is moving a contract of that size even possible?) Does that mean scrounging desperately for a suitor for Clarkson, who is on pace for 26 points this season, or Lupul, whos been hurt for much of his Toronto tenure? Might the deconstruction of the core even extend to the extreme of trading Kessel, by the far the most talented player in an organization short on high-end talent? The latter is a difficult, franchise-changing decision, one that would be hard to make given Kessels unique skill-set. (Like Phaneuf, how tradable he is given the size of the contract is another issue to confront.) Shanahan is ultimately tasked with determining which pieces are worth keeping toward the goal of Cup contention, which are not and then what can be done about it. Were going to be as patient as we have to be, Dave Nonis, Shanahans second in command, said Wednesday. Were not going to make a deal just to make one. Were not going to do some things that maybe would look pretty or sexy, but would set our team backwards. These are big decisions, decisions that need to be made with a measured approach and not at the whim of a frustrated fan-base; decisions that the new leader of the Leafs needs to contemplate if the goal is to ultimately capture the Cup and not simply land a playoff spot and hope for the best.
