WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have their first win of the season but head coach Paul LaPolice says they must get better -- and quickly -- to guarantee more. NFL Jerseys China . "Ive watched the defence, Ive watched the offence, theres certainly a lot of work to be done," LaPolice said Friday, a day after Winnipeg edged the Edmonton Eskimos 23-22. "Its a game of inches. Youre so close to them holding the ball and kicking a field goal. But our players played and fought the whole game." LaPolice says the defence played well and quarterback Alex Brink was solid but the club made costly mistakes on both sides of the ball. However, LaPolice was still encouraged as the Bombers shift their focus towards hosting the Montreal Alouettes next week. After playing their first four games of the season on the road, the 1-4 Bombers also can now look forward to three more at home. And it doesnt hurt that the remaining teams in the East Division were all sitting at a reachable 2-2 going into their fifth games of the season this weekend. To turn that hope into something more concrete, the Bombers need to rack up a lot more wins and that means more hard work. "We need to get a lot better and weve got one week," said LaPolice. Special teams and the secondary were both singled out as groups that will have some extra homework this week. The list of mistakes was long in what was a pretty sloppy game for both teams, but this time those mistakes worked out more for the Bombers than they have in their first four contests. Blown assignments, unnecessary penalties that took away gains, players letting emotion rather than their heads rule their actions all have to be corrected. Demond Washington, the teams leading kick returner this season, slipped and went down then pounded the turf in frustration instead of getting up to run when he hadnt been touched. Rookie defensive lineman Jake Thomas, who caused the fumble that kept Edmonton from closing the gap in the final seconds, also took an unnecessary roughness penalty that negated Washingtons best runback. Brink was also sacked to take the Bombers out of field-goal range. There were plenty of positives as well, in particular the way Brink handled himself in his second start this season. That could be very important, since LaPolice mentioned September as a possible return date for starter Buck Pierce, although he later backtracked a little and said it would just be some time after the bye week. Pierce had previously said Pierce would be back in four weeks or less. "I gave him the game ball last night," LaPolice said of Brink. "He didnt make bad decisions, he ran the ball well and put the ball in spots. Theres still room for improvement but he responded." Although he threw two interceptions and the second set up an Edmonton touchdown, the coach didnt fault him even for those. "Both his interceptions were on tipped balls." The coach also said the offensive line, which has been a weak link in some previous games, stepped up Thursday night and performed well overall in protecting the quarterback. The defence also made things hard on Edmonton quarterback Steven Jyles and controlled the ground game and talented tailback Hugh Charles, who still managed 76 yards. "I really felt we minimized the run game," LaPolice said. "I really felt we were flying around hitting people and we had pressure on Steven most of the game." The Bombers were also helped Thursday night by the healthiest offence theyve fielded this season. Simpson is a threat both on the ground and as a receiver. Chris Matthews is the CFLs leading receiver and he was joined by a healthy Cory Watson and a healthy Terrence Edwards, making it tough for a defence to cover all the possibilities. Watson had 66 yards and Edwards had 67, although Edmonton held Matthews to 52. Most of that was the 40 yards he picked up when he caught a pass from Brink with just seven seconds to go in the first half to score Winnipegs first touchdown. Cheap Jerseys From China .

Wilin Rosario hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the 10th and the Colorado Rockies went on to score a franchise-record eight runs in an extra inning, beating the Tigers 12-4 on Friday night to snap a season-high, eight-game losing streak.Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Joe Sakic and Mats Sundin were two of the four new members who were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night. Joining the first-time candidates in the 2012 class were Pavel Bure and Adam Oates. Sakic was one of the few players who spent his entire illustrious career with one franchise. The 13-time All-Star was a first-round draft pick of the Quebec Nordiques back in 1987, eight years before they moved to Colorado and became the Avalanche. After 20 seasons, Sakic retired as the franchises all-time leader with 625 goals and 1,016 assists and also won the Hart Trophy in 2001. Sakic was a key figure in the Avalanches two Stanley Cup titles in 1996 and 2001, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP in the 96 championship run. He also earned tournament MVP honors as Canada skated off with the gold medal at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics. "Everyone here tonight has had a fantastic career and I cant thank everyone enough," said Sakic. "I had a chance to play 20 years, got to lift the Stanley Cup twice and was able to play for my country and win a Gold Medal. But this is the greatest honour Ive ever received." Sundin, who played with Sakic his first four years in the NHL, spent 13 seasons with the Maple Leafs and still holds Toronto franchise records for most points, goals, power-play goals, shorthanded goals, game-winning goals and overtime goals. A 2006 Olympic gold medal-winner with Sweden, Sundin totaled 1,349 points in 1,346 NHL games. He scored 564 goals and had 785 assists. "Its a very humbling and tremendous honor to be here today," said Sundin. "Theres so many people for me to thank that it would take me all night. Hockey has been the greatest tthing to ever happen to me and going into the Hall of Fame means more than words can express.ddddddddddddquot; Bure, nicknamed the "Russian Rocket," averaged 36.7 goals per season in 12 NHL campaigns and twice reached the 60-goal plateau. He won the Calder Trophy in 1992 with the Canucks and the Rocket Richard Trophy in 2000 and 2001 with the Panthers. He finished his NHL career with 437 goals and 779 points. "Im honored and truly humbled to be in a group of such elite individuals," said Bure. "Hockey is the greatest game in the world and the growth of our game has been amazing. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is considered to be the highest individual honor, but I did not get here on my own." Oates, who just several hours prior to his Hall-of-Fame bid was named the head coach of the Washington Capitals, ranks sixth all-time in NHL history with 1,079 assists and 16th with 1,420 points. He played 1,337 career games with Detroit, St. Louis, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Anaheim and Edmonton. "Since that day I got the phone call, Ive been reflecting on my career," said Oates. "I thought about my family, my friends, my coaches and my teammates, and to them Id like to say thank you for all youve done for me. This is more about you people, than it is about me." The Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for exemplary broadcasting went to Rick Jeanneret, who has been the voice of the Buffalo Sabres since 1971, and Roy MacGregor received the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for bringing honor to journalism and to hockey. The ceremony was tempered by the on-going lockout that has prevented an NHL season from being played thus far. Its the third lockout in less than 20 years for the league. ' ' '
