best chance to turn things around this season?

One of the best underdog stories of the Sochi Olympics may be nearly undone. Matt Shaughnessy Cardinals Jersey .
According to The Globe and Mails James Mirtle, the Latvian mens Olympic
team - which finished eighth in the hockey tournament - now faces
possible disqualification after a second player has allegedly tested
positive for a banned substance.
Mirtle cites a report from Latvian web site sportacentrs.com that states
an unnamed player has turned up the teams second positive drug test of
the tournament. Forward Vitalijs Pavlovs failed a drug test following
Latvias 2-1 quarter-final defeat to Canada.
Under Olympic rules, hockey teams do not face disqualification until
multiple players test positive for banned substances.
The eighth-place finish improved Latvia to 10th in the IIHF world
rankings, which is a key determinant to Olympic qualification. The top
nine teams in the IIHF world rankings received automatic berths to the
Sochi Games, which was the reason why Norway (ranked ninth through 2012)
was able to avoid the qualification tournaments that saw Slovenia,
Austria and Latvia qualify by beating the likes of Germany, France and
Belarus.
IIHF rankings are based on tournament performance over a four-year span,
including both the Olympic hockey tournament and the World
Championships.

Still, after the starts theyve had the last couple of seasons, they cant
help but feel good about it.

Jordan Pachecos throwing error to tie it in the eighth inning and the
Astros beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 Sunday to win their opening series.

The rookie manager has made a habit of heaping praise on others when
things are going well, and accepting criticism when they arent.  But in
the case of Hurtado, its what the coach is NOT saying that may be the
secret to a superb run of form.The NHL is a quarter of the way through
the 2013-14 season. It is usually at this time of the campaign that
teams start looking to quickly make their way up the standings.
Unfortunately, some Canadian teams have not had the strongest start to
the season and it is up to each team to turn things around in the coming
months, but which one has the best chance to make significant
improvements?
The Edmonton Oilers have the largest ground to make up as they sit at
the bottom of the Western Conference. The Oilers are a young team still
working to grow and improve their dynamic, though they have proven
lately that they can win. Currently, they are in the midst of their
second three-game winning streak of the season.
Seated just above Edmonton in the Western Conference are fellow
Albertans, the Calgary Flames. With just as much to prove as the Oilers,
the Flames certainly have some work to do if they want to turn things
around this season. Calgary has won only two of their last 10 games.
They have made some progress though, earning points in shootout and
overtime losses.
The Vancouver Canucks are currently ninth in the West and will have to
get out of their current funk and back to how things were earlier this
season in order to make a playoff push. After a solid October, the
Canucks have lost their last five games.
It is projected that there may be a 20-point difference between what it
takes to make the playoffs in the Eastern and Western Conferences this
season. The Winnipeg Jets are a new member of the Western Conference and
the adjustment has surely been difficuult for the team. Larry Foote Cardinals Jersey.
If the Jets were to finish just over 100 points this season, they could
possibly miss the playoffs because of the strength of their conference.
Had they remained in the Eastern Conference this season, they would have
more than enough to earn a spot in the playoffs at that level.
Over in the East, the Ottawa Senators have been struggling as of late,
with goaltending problems contributing to their worries. They have lost
four of their last five games with starter Craig Anderson between the
pipes for three of the defeats. Backup Robin Lehner proved himself
earlier this month when pressed into action, but has stepped aside since
the return of Anderson.
Currently 11th in the East, the team has been inconsistent, putting out
strong performances one night and letting games slip through their
fingers the next.
The other two Canadian teams in the East, the Toronto Maple Leafs and
the Montreal Canadiens are both slowly nearing the top of their
conference.
The Maple Leafs, who have been preforming recently without some of their
big names, such as Nazem Kadri and Tyler Bozak, are still holding onto
their place in the top five of the conference.
The Canadiens, meanwhile, are in seventh spot and have won three of
their last five games.
Unlike their Western counterparts, these two have less reason for
concern but could quickly climb their way to the top.
With all things considered, which of the seven Canadian teams have the
best chance to turn things around this season?
As always, its Your! Call.
