PENTICTON, B. Nike Air Max 270 Womens Discount .C. -- Johnny Gaudreau has a single NHL game under his belt, but hes already earned a very catchy nickname. Known as "Johnny Hockey" in an homage to Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and the "Johnny Football" brand, the slick Calgary Flames prospect is turning heads because of his moves, and his moniker. "(The nickname) is kind of cool, unless youve got (teammates) tweeting from my Twitter that I am Johnny Hockey and no one knows its them tweeting it," said Gaudreau. "Thats probably one of the downfalls of it, but other than that its something special and unique." Generously listed at five foot nine and 160 pounds, the native of Carneys Point, N.J., is special and unique in his own right, and those talents were on full display at the recent rookie tournament hosted by the Vancouver Canucks. The shifty Gaudreau caused a minor uproar in the hockey world with an outrageous goal against the Winnipeg Jets prospects where he undressed a helpless defenceman before roofing a spectacular backhand. A video of the play was posted online within minutes and had social media buzzing. "Its something special you get to have," Gaudreau said modestly. "I made a nice little play there and got the shot off. I was fortunate to have it go in the net and have a whole bunch of people talk about it." Drafted 104th overall back in 2011, Gaudreau took a different route than many prospects at the rookie tournament -- which included prospects from the Edmonton Oilers, Flames, Canucks and Jets. He played three years at Boston College, finishing with an eye-popping 36 goals and 44 assists in just 40 games last season to win the Hobey Baker Award as the top collegiate player in the U.S. The 21-year-old has great vision on the ice and seems to have the puck on a string at times, but said his size has always been an issue. "With every small player you definitely need to show people you can play," said Gaudreau. "Because youre a smaller guy youre at a disadvantage and you need to be better offensively, defensively, at making plays and stuff like that. Its every small guys problem." Other players at the rookie tournament took notice of his talents, including Oilers draft pick Leon Draisaitl, who played against Gaudreaus U.S. team as a member of the German squad at the world championships this spring. "Hes small, tiny, and probably one of the most skilled guys Ive ever seen," said Draisaitl. "That game we played against him he had four points against us and was by far the best player on the ice." A fan of the Philadelphia Flyers growing up, Gaudreau said he was inspired by the likes of Daniel Briere and Martin St. Louis because of how they excelled in a big mans game. "Its hard not to have them as your favourite players when theyre successful in the NHL as smaller guys," said Gaudreau. "Its someone you look up to and you watch in your career and want to become like." Gaudreau, who scored a goal in his only NHL game at the end of last season, said his stature worked against him a lot more when he was growing up. "I got cut when I was younger a lot ... it sucks but its something you need to overcome," said Gaudreau, who should be at Flames training camp when it starts Thursday. "Every players been there, whether youre playing in bantam or in the NHL. Everyone needs to overcome it at some point. "As the years went on I felt like I was getting closer and closer. Im pretty fortunate to be here with a ton of great players." Adirondack Flames head coach Ryan Huska led Calgarys prospects team in Penticton and said Gaudreau brings something special every time he touches the puck. "Hes got this ability where youre amazed," said Huska. "He slows the game down in a positive way. Everybody talks about speeding the game up and how we want to play faster, but theres something to be said for a player that can slow it down. "Hes one of those players ... hell bring people to their feet and energy to his bench." Added linemate and 2014 fourth overall pick Sam Bennett: "Its amazing. Hes an unbelievably skilled player. Any time you get a chance to play with a guy like that, good things are going to happen." Sean Monahan, the sixth overall pick in 2013, made the Flames last year and it remains to be seen if Gaudreau, Bennett or another Calgary prospect can crack the roster this year for a franchise that is rebuilding and has not made the playoffs since 2009. "Its one of the organizations you want to be a part of as a younger guy," said Gaudreau. "Management says theres open spots so youve got to go into camp thinking that youre going to be in one of those spots and just try to prove that you belong there. "Whether I play in the AHL or the NHL, either or, Im just going to do the best I can and see where that goes." Nike Air Max 270 Black And White . He even addressed his group of relievers Sunday morning. Dustin McGowan made those worries a nonfactor, at least for a day. McGowan pitched three-hit ball for seven innings, Colby Rasmus hit a grand slam and Melky Cabrera added a two-run homer as the Blue Jays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-2. Nike Air Max 270 Ispa White . Algeria led 3-0 at halftime, but withstood a stronger South Korean second half performance to claim its first World Cup win since 1982 and move into second place in Group H with one match left to play. Defeat for South Korea means it must now beat already-qualified Belgium to stand a chance of progressing to the knockout stages. http://www.max270cheap.com/nike-men-s-air-max-270-just-do-it-white-total-orange-black-ah8050-106.html .A. Happ capped a challenging season with one of his best efforts of the year. LOS ANGELES -- Shortly before the start of a trial to determine whether Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterlings estranged wife can sell the team, his lawyers filed a motion Thursday to move the case to federal court, alleging his medical privacy has been violated. A probate court trial is scheduled to begin Monday to determine whether Sterling is mentally incapacitated and Shelly Sterling can assume control of the family trust that owns the Clippers. She struck a deal in May to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion after Donald Sterlings racist remarks to a girlfriend were publicized and the NBA moved to oust him as an owner. On Thursday, Donald Sterlings attorneys filed a notice of removal to federal court, saying the airing of his medical information in the probate case violates federal privacy laws. In previous filings, they argued that Donald Sterling submitted to examinations of his mental competence under false pretenses, that there was undue influence in the doctors findings, and that the examination and letters about his capacity were defective and incomplete. Shelly Sterlings attorney, Pierced ODonnell, called the move a "cowardly ploy" and said allegations of federal privacy violations are "preposterous" because Sterling expressly authorized public release of his medical records under the terms of his family trust.

Ballmers attorney, Adam Streisand, also called the move "desperate" and said his side would seek to block it. "We will be filing emergency relief in federal court to undo this last desperate and frivolous attempt to block our trial from going forward Monday," Streisand said in a statement. Donald Sterlings attorney Bobby Samini denied the move was mere gamesmanship, saying "we feel strongly that this important issue should be addressed by the federal court at this time." "While it has become popular to attack Donald Sterling for his regrettable comments, his right to privacy and to the protection of his medical records should not be acceptable collateral damage," Samini said in a statement. It was not immediately clear when a federal judge might rule on the issue, but the trial in state probate court remained scheduled to start Monday morning. ' ' '
