Felix Girard, Gabryel Paquin-Boudreau and Valentin Zykov combined for six goals and 14 points Saturday as the Baie-Comeau Drakkar crushed the visiting Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 7-0 in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Girard had three goals and two assists for the Drakkar (29-11-4), who are 8-0-1 in their last nine games, while Paquin-Boudreau scored twice and added an assists. Zykov added a goal and five assists. Zykovs six-point performance earned him the games first star and he now has six goals and 17 points over a six-game span. Alexandre Ranger also scored for Baie Comeau, while Philippe Cadorette stopped all 18 shots he faced for his second shutout and 20th victory of the season. The 17-year-old is just the second goalie in the QMJHL this season to reach the 20-win mark, with the other being Zachary Fucale of the Halifax Mooseheads. Alexandre Belanger took the loss for the Huskies (27-14-1) after allowing five goals on 14 shots through 30 minutes of action. Carl Hozjan came in midway through the second period and stopped 17-of-19 shots in relief. Baie-Comeau went 3-for-6 on the power play, while Rouyn-Noranda failed to score on six chances. Elsewhere in the QMJHL it was: Victoriaville 6, Saint John 4; Halifax 4, P.E.I. 3; Moncton 5, Gatineau 3; and Val-dOr 6, Quebec 2. At Baie-Comeau, Que., Paquin-Boudreau opened the scoring 2:28 into the first period. Ranger scored shorthanded at 9:19 and 53 seconds later Paquin-Boudreau gave the Drakkar a 3-0 lead to take into the first intermission. Girard scored a power-play goal 4:47 into the second period and then added another goal with the man advantage at 17:30. Girard scored his third power-play goal of the game at 2:56 of the third period and Zykov rounded out the scoring for Baie-Comeau at 5:02. Tigres 6, Sea Dogs 4 At Victoriaville, Que., William Cochrane and Philippe Halley each scored twice and Philippe Maillett chipped in with three assists as the Tigres (18-19-7) handed Saint John (18-23-0) its third loss in a row. --- Mooseheads 4, Rocket 3 At Halifax, Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and two assists and Jonathan Drouin broke a 3-3 tie at 13:01 of the third period as the Mooseheads (35-4-3) came from two goals down to beat P.E.I.

Dickey and the Toronto Blue Jays look to get even with the Baltimore Orioles tonight in the second game of a three-game set at Camden Yards. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Defence is the primary focus of everything the Miami Heat does, and its been that way since Pat Riley arrived. It might be more than a mantra this year. Miami started the season playing defence at a level that made no one in the organization happy last season, allowing 100.6 points per game, ranking only 23rd-best league-wide after 17 games. In the 65 games that followed, they gave up just 93.6 points per game, the fourth-best rate in the NBA over that span. Playing defence better from the start of the season has emerged as a top priority for the Heat, who left the Bahamas on Friday after wrapping up six practices of training camp that were devoted almost entirely to that end of the floor. "We knew we didnt start off the season like we wanted to defensively," said Heat forward LeBron James, the leagues two-time reigning MVP and a four-time winner of the award overall. "But we knew. I think when you have a problem and you face it, its very correctable, and we knew that. So one thing we talked about was defending and finishing." Training camp officially ended just before 1 p.m. Friday, though the way James sees it, camp actually lasts until Oct. 28, the day before Miami hoists its second straight championship banner and opens a new season against the Chicago Bulls. Theres a ton of things for the team to do in the next 3 1/2 weeks, including play eight preseason games, but continuing to hone that defence-first approach will remain paramount. They remember how frustrating it was to have an almost porous-looking defence for the first few weeks of last season, a year where the Heat wound up winning 66 regular-season games, 27 straight in one stretch. "Sharpen. Sharpen the sword," Heat forward Shane Battier said. "We won games early last year and didnt look good. We dropped a few that, looking back at it, we should have won. We know the Eastern Conference is highly competitive. Not that we cant afford to get off to a slow start ... but we cant afford to get off to a slow start." Chicago will be better, with Derrick ;Rose healthy again.dddddddddddd Indiana figures to be better. Brooklyn has eyes on a title. Its clear that Miami will not have an easy time in the East, and the Heat remember how vital getting that No. 1 seed was a year ago. It gave them the right to play Game 7 in the conference finals against Indiana at home, along with Game 7 of the NBA Finals against San Antonio. "We know the competition got better," Battier said. "We scraped by to get out of the Eastern Conference last year. Obviously, we want to play our best basketball at the end. That doesnt mean we cant start at a higher level and build toward that." Even though the background was paradise -- sun, sand, tropical music and water slides -- the ballroom where the Heat did the bulk of their work on this trip was hardly a vacation destination. James posted a photo of himself, grimacing in a chest-deep ice bath, to his social media accounts. Ray Allen said he dealt with some mild foot soreness while waking up muscles that had not been used since last June. Michael Beasley described camp as exhausting. Udonis Haslem said he was originally excited to spend some free time in the casino, then quickly realized that he would better serve himself by getting off his feet. Point guard Mario Chalmers said this was a camp unlike any of his first five with the Heat, mainly because he didnt recall a camp where everyone arrived in such good shape. "Last year I think we had a little hangover coming off that first championship," Chalmers said. "Maybe we celebrated a little bit too much. We didnt come into camp as focused and ready as we did last year. You can tell right now, everybodys hungry for that threepeat." Which, the Heat know, will start at the defensive end. "I would probably say 70 per cent of our camp was defence, other than player development," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "That makes me a little bit uneasy. While we have corporate knowledge of our offence, we will need to spend a lot more time on it next week. And we will. Well address that." cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
