HAMAR, Norway -- Canada picked up its third straight win at the sledge hockey world championship on Wednesday, setting up a semifinal clash with a familiar opponent. Ryan Broyles Jersey. Dominic Larocque, Adam Dixon, Kieran Block and Greg Westlake scored as Canada defeated Norway 4-1 to advance to Thursdays semifinal against the rival Americans. "Both teams bring the best out of each other and its going to be a real competitive game," Canada coach Mike Mondin said. "Its going to be highly emotional and we know that we have to be well prepared physically and mentally. "Our guys are up for that task." Westlake said his team has improved with each game at the tournament. The winner Thursday will take on the Czech Republic or South Korea in Sundays final. "Were expecting a tough game," he said. "Its a little different in the sense that now that theres something on the line I think its going to be a little bit less chippy than usual," the Canadian captain said. "When we get (the U.S.) in an exhibition game theres lots of stuff after the whistle, a lot of big hits. "Tomorrow its about hockey. Its about winning the game." Norway came out strong against Canada on Wednesday, with Magnus Bogle opening the scoring just 1:59 into the first period. But Larocque tied it just 51 seconds later and Dixon scored to give Canada the lead at 8:04. Block made it 3-1 at 8:17 of the second before Westlake added his second goal in as many games at 8:58 of the third period to seal the win for the Canadians. "(Westlake) is so consistent every shift," Mondin said. "Hes a competitor and that clearly shows in his work ethic, his skill level and his determination to lead this team." Corbin Watson made his second straight start in goal for Canada, stopping nine shots for the win. Canada finished with 20 shots on Norways Roger Johansen. The Canadians ran into some penalty trouble in their second group game against South Korea, but still came away with a 2-0 win. Westlake said the focus was on discipline against the Norwegians and will be the same against the Americans. "No knock on international reffing, but flip a coin," he said. "You never know what youre going to get. I think you have to play safe, worry about body position and where the puck is going to be. "It took a little while to adjust but I think made a big stride in that department." Jason Hanson Jersey. He could have fooled anyone. While Luck acknowledged that he was still trying to get acclimated to a new playbook, a new locker room and new teammates, those who watched closely on Friday said the new Indianapolis Colts quarterback looked a whole lot like the one they remembered at Stanford. Ron Bartell Jersey. Thats a major step for Clevelands rocket-armed rookie quarterback, who acknowledged that the first few days of training camp this summer left him dizzy. http://www.lionsofficialteamstore.com/autographed-matthew-stafford-jersey-az-60.... -- Its been a long time since Tim Clark found a low round like this and this one was certainly special. David Akers Jersey. Their strategy played right into the Canadians hands. Canada scored a pair of power-play goals and beat the Czechs 5-2 Friday to advance to a fifth straight tournament final. "We like chippy," Canadian coach Todd Gill said. Detroit Lions Jersey.J. -- Lou Lamoriello did not speak with anger in his voice. TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays came to terms with left-handed pitcher Matt Smoral on Tuesday. The Jays selected the 18-year-old Ohio high schooler with the 50th pick in the 2012 draft earlier this month. The six-foot-eight, 230-pound Smoral was projected to go in the first round by many scouts before breaking his foot in the spring. C.J. Mosley Jersey The Blue Jays have now signed 23 of their 44 selections in the 2012 draft, including top pick D.J. Davis, who went 17th overall. The signing deadline is July 13. ' ' '
