  Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. [b]Will Richardson Jaguars Jersey[/b] . This week they discuss Steve Nash, the Spirits handling of Terry Traffords passing, Ralph Krueger and NHL shootouts. Bruce Arthur, the National Post: My thumb is up to Steve Nash, who was shut down this week with nerve pain, which has been limiting him since a harmless-looking collision early last year. Hes only played 10 games for the Lakers this season and he looked like himself once. If this isnt the end of his 18-year career, then were getting close. So why thumbs up? Because of how hes facing it. Nash is making short films for ESPNs Grantland that are incredibly honest - jarringly so, at times - about what its like to face your athletic mortality and was incredibly honest again when I spoke to him this week. Nash and I are the same age; we both came from B.C.; we both played basketball and thats where the comparison ends. And again, hes showing me what it would be like. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to the eerie silence that has engulfed the Saginaw Spirit in the tragic wake of the passing of 20-year-old Terry Trafford.There are questions here – but, to date, no answers coming from the prominent junior hockey people, coach Greg Gilbert or general manager Jim Paliafito. We know, from Traffords father, that the Spirit sent Terry home for what Roy Trafford calls “disciplinary reasons.” And we know, from the same conversation, that the time away from the team was supposed to be temporary, a few days. Then something changed. What changed? We dont know. Telephone messages were left informing Trafford that he was no longer welcome to return to the team. What we dont know and may never know - is why. To date, the only people who have those answers arent sharing them. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: Forget the Dos Equis guy. My thumb is up to the truly most interesting man in the world, Ralph Krueger. Less than a month after being the big-ice guru for the Canadian mens Olympic hockey team, Krueger has switched continents and sports. He is now chairman of Southampton FC, having jumped to the rarified world of English Premier League soccer without prior experience in the game. Krueger can match resumes with anyone. The Manitoban played pro hockey in Germany, built the Swiss national program, coached the Edmonton Oilers before his premature firing and boosted Team Canada. He also is an active member of the World Economic Forum. Now, soccer. Bartender, Ill drink what Kruegers drinking. Dave Hodge, TSN: Thumbs down to the NHL and its inability to deal with its dislike of the shootout. At the GMs meetings in Florida, the NHL continued to look for ways to decrease the number of shootouts. One way would be to change overtime from four-on-four to three-on-three, but if youre making a list of ideas that are less popular than the shootout, start there. The NHL will consider a change of ends for overtime to put skaters farther from their benches, as they are in the second period, which, statistically, is the highest-scoring of the three periods. Okay. Keep trying. The easy solution would be for the NHL to give up and decide it likes the shootout. Oh, but as with visits from grandpa, it does - there just shouldnt be too many of them. [b]Donte Moncrief Jaguars Jersey[/b] . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. [b]Jaguars Jerseys[/b] . You can watch all the action on TSN and TSN GO beginning at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. Minnesota dropped the first two tests of this best-of-seven set at Chicagos United Center and was outscored by a combined 9-3 margin in those setbacks. However, the Wild righted themselves at home by taking Game 3 by a 4-0 count before knotting the series at two games apiece with Fridays 4-2 triumph at Xcel Energy Center.CORNER BROOK, N.L. - P.E.Is Tyler Smith bounced back with a game-tying three in the fourth end en route to a 6-5 victory over the Yukons Joe Wallingham in his first tiebreaker game Tuesday at the Canadian junior curling championships.The win wasnt secured until Wallingham flashed on his last-rock takeout attempt in the 10th end, giving P.E.I. the steal and the win.The result means P.E.I. will have a rematch for the final Pool B berth in the championship round with Northern Ontario on Wednesday. Smith fell 7-0 to Tanner Horgan earlier Tuesday to finish the preliminary round 2-4.We werent very happy with the way we played this afternoon, and we had a bad third end there (against the Yukon), but other than that we played pretty solid, said Smith. We always fight hard when we get down. Were kind of known for never giving up, and always coming after them.We got down three and we thought, Hey, its no big deal. We were down three to them (Yukon) a couple days ago and came back and won. Down three? We should be able to do it again.The final Pool A berth will also be decided Wednesday, between Ontarios Mac Calwell and Nova Scotias Matthew Manuel. Calwells Ontario team held off home-province hopeful Greg Smith of Newfoundland/Labrador 9-7 in the other tiebreaker on Tuesday, scoring a big three in the sixth end and stealing one more in the seventh to take control.Wevee been struggling — mostly its been me having a hard time adjusting, said Calwell. [b]Donte Moncrief Jersey[/b]. Just one of those off weeks. You cant be perfect all the time. But that game started to feel a little bit better. Its good to still have a chance here. We just have to win that second tiebreaker.The top three teams in each pool, plus two teams with the next best win-loss records, advance to the championship round for a further four-game partial round robin from Wednesday through Friday, with their earlier records carried forward.The six teams of each gender that didnt qualify for the championship round meet in a seeding round to determine ranking for the 2016 Canadian juniors in Stratford, Ont.Quebecs Felix Asselin finished Pool A at 6-0 while Manitobas Braden Calvert of Manitoba (5-1) and B.C.s Paul Henderson (4-2) also advanced.Albertas Karsten Sturmay, Saskatchewans Jacob Hersikorn and New Brunswicks Rene Comeau advanced with a share of top spot in Pool B at 5-1.In womens play, B.C.s Corryn Brown advanced with a perfect 6-0 record to lead Group B.
