Flyers rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 5-4 victory on Sunday.

MONTREAL - Few expected either the University of Montreal Carabins or the Manitoba Bisons to make it to the Uteck Bowl. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen Jersey .But those are the teams that will meet Saturday at the Carabins 5,100-seat CEPSUM stadium in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport football semifinal, with each coming off an emotional win over a top-ranked opponent. The Carabins knocked off the top-ranked Laval Rouge et Or 12-9 in overtime in the Quebec conference final last weekend while Manitoba upset the No. 4-ranked Calgary Dinos 27-15 to claim the Canada West title.Carabins (9-1), playing at home in what will likely be a sold-out stadium, will be the favourites, but the Bisons (6-4) already have two big post-season road wins under their belts. They rallied to beat the Saskatchewan Huskies 47-39 in the Canada West semifinals.I dont think it was a surprise, Manitoba coach Brian Dobie said Friday. It was the goal.We went into this season confident we could win Canada West. We knew there was a monster at the University of Calgary that we had to displace. That was part of our mission and we accomplished it.Montreal head coach Danny Maciocia, the former Edmonton Eskimos head coach/GM now in his fourth year with the Carabins, felt much the same. His team defeated Laval in the final game of the regular season at home, then beat the Rouge et Or again in Quebec City in the playoffs.There probably werent a lot of people who thought wed best them twice in a span of three weeks, said Maciocia. We werent shocked or surprised.We had a group that believes in one another. And they have a mental toughness they bring every day.The winner advances to the Vanier Cup game, which will be played next weekend Percival Molson Stadium in Montreal.Manitoba, the last Canada West team to win Vanier Cup in 2007, ended Calgarys six-year reign as conference champions. Montreal stopped two-time defending Vanier Cup champion Lavals run of conference titles at 11 and ended its 70-game home win streak.But while the Carabins have been knocking on the door to a conference title in recent years, the Bisons took many by surprise. They went 4-4 in the regular season and now hope to be a rare team that goes 4-0, all on the road, in the post-season.Most of all, we want to use the confidence we gained last week to our advantage, said Bisons quarterback Jordan Yantz. We proved last week what were capable of doing.But its not only confidence, its excitement. The opportunity we have here in the Uteck Bowl is something not many people get. Its something well embrace.The Dinos had the better statistics against Manitoba, but the Bisons forced 10 turnovers, including six interceptions.Thats the number that stood out for Carabins quarterback Gabriel Cousineau.Obviously, were going to have to protect the ball, he said. We dont give up a lot of turnovers, but when you face a team thats this good, you have to protect the ball.A fumble with 1:20 left in regulation time nearly cost Montreal the game at Laval. The Rouge et Or tied it on a late field goal, but the Carabins dominated the extra time.We have to come down from our cloud, Cousineau said of the win. We were floating out there.We were really happy after our win but it was back to business Monday. We know the jobs not finished.The Bisons are proud of their road record. Dobie said western teams are more battle-hardened on the road because their trips are longer and tougher than in central Canada or the east.Playing in Montreal may be a special challenge, however.This is the first time Ive seen our guys wowed a bit, with a bit of the deer in the headlights coming into Montreal, he said. They say Wow, everythings in French.Almost none of our guys have been east before. Theyre almost all western kids. Montreal has an amazing reputation as a city.It will be up the coaches to prevent distractions, but Dobie said his players are an easy buy-in now.And if they beat the Carabins, the Bisons will stay in town for another week to play the Vanier Cup game.On the field, the Bisons are expected to bring a big, physical team with an offence led by running back Kienan LaFrance, who rushed for 155 yards against Calgary.The Carabins counter with a smothering defence highlighted by versatile linebacker Byron Archambault. They have a nice mix of running and passing on offence as well.The weather forecast Saturday is calling for a high of 2C. Theres a 67 per cent chance of rain with 24 kilometre-an-hour winds expected.I would love to embrace Manitoba as the underdog but Im not claiming it, said Dobie. Thats being dishonest and disrespectful to my own team.We went into the season with high expectations that if we worked hard, we felt we could accomplish some things. Just like Montreal, were in this to win it. Samuel Umtiti Jersey . Moments after his Brooklyn Nets teammates ran out onto the court to congratulate him following their 100-98 overtime win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, Johnson could only shake his head at scoring only 13 points on 6-of-19 shooting. Lucas Digne Jersey . But that changed when he committed a five-minute major penalty and helped pave the way for a comeback by the Philadelphia Flyers. Vincent Lecavalier scored at 2:45 of overtime and the Flyers rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 5-4 victory on Sunday. http://www.fcbarcelonapro.com/Kids-Paco-Alcacer-Jersey/ . Patty Mills had 20 points, Tim Duncan had 11 points and 13 rebounds in limited action, and San Antonio rolled to a 110-82 victory over Milwaukee that kept the Bucks winless in the new year.ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Zach Parise and the Minnesota Wild kept their chins up and turned what could have been a negative outcome into a positive. Parise and Jason Pominville scored in the shootout, lifting Minnesota to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night. Parise tied the game late in the third period for Minnesota, which has won five of six and is 8-1-2 in its last 11. The Wild have been involved in three straight shootouts -- winning two. In the shootout, Parise beat Jonathan Bernier low on the left side before Josh Harding stopped Raymond. Mikko Koivu was stopped by Bernier and Phil Kessel lost control of the puck before Pominville beat Bernier through the pads for the win. "We had little bit more of a feeling that this game was there for us if we could keep going," Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said. Parise tied it with 4:17 to play in regulation when, after a turnover by Kessel, Charlie Coyles shot from low on the right side deflected off Parises skate and into the net. The goal came 2 minutes after the Wild managed to get one shot on a 5-minute power-play after Nazem Kadri was assessed a match penalty for hitting Mikael Granlund in the head. "He made initial contact with the shoulder and the kid had his head down, he didnt have his arms up, he ran into the player, Granlund snapped his head back and obviously, the referee saw it differently, and obviously, with a five-minute match penalty, itll be reviewed," said Toronto coach Randy Carlyle. However, Minnesota heard plenty of boos from the crowd as it got off just one shot during the man-advantage. "Even the guys that were power-play guys were coming back saying, Cmon, we still got lots of time, talking, saying the right things and these are the leaders of your team," Yeo said. "Ive been part of many games where you have something like that and frustration creeps in and its real easy to have some type of letdown or start to deviate or get away from staying with it, trusting it, and they didnt." The hit on Granlund was Kadris second action for which he will likely be hearing from the league. Kadri was not made available to the media. Minnesotas starting goaltender, Niklas Backstrom, was run over by Kadri 7 minutes into the game, and lay flat on tthe ice for about 30 seconds before slowly sitting up. Thomas Vermaelen Jersey. Kadris elbow appeared to hit Backstrom in the head. Yeo said Backstrom has an upper-body injury. Backstrom, starting for the first time since Oct. 28, stayed in the game until a stoppage with 10:31 left in the period before skating to the bench and heading to the dressing room. He had three saves. "Thatll be interesting to see what happens there because it looks like he got him right in the head," Parise said. "Thats what were trying to get rid of. Itll be interesting to see what they decide." Mason Raymond scored a power-play goal for Toronto, which has scored just three regulation goals in its last four outings. Jonathan Bernier had 33 saves. Toronto nearly won it late in overtime, but Harding got a right pad on a tip by Morgan Rielly and then reached back to grab the puck just outside the goal line. "Theyre a good team in their building and at least we came up with one point. Weve just got to move on," Bernier said. Harding had 19 saves in relief of Backstrom. He started the past five games and was to be given the night off due to sickness. Instead, he increased his save percentage to .947, second-best on the NHL, while lowering his league-best goals-against average to 1.21. There wasnt much he could do as Raymond gave the Maple Leafs a 1-0 lead at 7:32 of the second period, when he gathered a loose puck that hit traffic in front and tucked it behind a sprawled Harding. It was just Torontos second power-play goal in 16 chances over six games. Minnesota had two power plays early in the third period, but came no closer than Koivu hitting the crossbar.
