OTTAWA - Curtis Lazar doesnt need to score goals to make an impact.Lazar didnt pick up a single point in Canadas 5-2 win over Sweden Sunday night in World Junior exhibition play, but there was no denying his impact.The 19-year-old Lazar — the oldest player on the roster by a matter of days — is on loan from the Ottawa Senators for the tournament. Having NHL experience means big things are expected from him both on and off the ice.After three months in the NHL I think hes seen a lot and hes seen many older guys in the NHL doing certain things, said Canadas coach Benoit Groulx. You can tell maturity speaks in his case.Lazar joined the team late Friday, but Groulx says he has already made an impact.Hes loud on the bench, said Groulx. He likes to communicate with his teammates, likes to cheer for them, likes to tell them about positioning and stuff like that. It comes naturally for him obviously and a good hockey club needs that.Canada looked good Sunday night, getting goals from five different skaters.Max Domi, Josh Morrissey, Anthony Duclair, Shea Theodore and Sam Reinhart scored for Canada while Eric Comrie made 17 saves.Gustav Forsling and William Nylander had goals for Sweden, which got a 28-save performance from Samuel Ward.This was Canadas first game since finalizing its roster for the IIHF World Junior Championship on Saturday. The tournament gets underway Dec. 26 with Canada taking on Slovakia in Montreal.The game also marked Connor McDavids first taste of action since he suffered a broken bone in his right hand on Nov. 11. It was Lazars first game since being loaned to the team.The duo played together with Nick Ritchie and while they didnt score, they did create a number of solid scoring chances.Much was made of McDavids return to action. While the 17-year-old showed some signs of rust, Groulx noted that he improved as the game went on.He showed some good things out there, showed speed and he went by a couple of defencemen to take pucks to the net, said Groulx. I think he had a great second half of the game and its good to see him back playing his style after such a long time being sidelined.McDavid said he felt pretty good and felt he and his linemates were able to create some good chances.It was nice, said McDavid. You never really want to be off and watching. Its never a lot of fun. To be back in game action was a lot of fun.The trio of Domi, Duclair and Reinhart continue to display chemistry and were once again dangerous around the net as they combined for six points, including three goals.Its a short tournament and it gets going pretty quick so the sooner you can find (chemistry) the better it is, said Domi. For our line personally, were really close off the ice and do a lot of things together and we talk about certain plays in practice and we just keep working on that stuff.Leading 3-1 to start the third, Canada extended its lead on Theodores goal at the six-minute mark of the final period. Theodore picked up his own rebound and beat Ward glove side.Reinhart rounded out his lines scoring as he picked up a power-play goal midway through the period, beating Ward short side under the arm.Nylander, a Leafs prospect, made it 5-2 as he beat Comrie on a penalty shot late in the third period.After a strong start to the game, Canada didnt have a great second period, registering just three shots on goal.Sweden made it a 2-1 game early in the second on Forslings power-play goal, but Canada regained its two goal-lead on a goal by Duclair, who is on loan from the New York Rangers.Swedish coach Rikard Gronborg says getting the opportunity to play Canada is always a good test.We know we have a lot to learn and we definitely have to chip away on some stuff, said Gronborg. Definitely in the defensive zone we need to do better in front of our own net and thats stuff well focus on over the next couple days.Canada opened the scoring with a power-play goal two minutes into the first period as Domi banged home a rebound at the side of the net. Morrissey made it 2-0 midway through the period with a shot from the point.Canada plays its final exhibition game Tuesday against Switzerland. Andrew Wiggins Jersey .

Ricky Rubio Jersey . -- The way Ted Ligety carved into turns looked so easy.WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says he would "think about changing" the Washington Redskins name if he owned the football team as he waded into the controversy involving a word many consider offensive to Native Americans. Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names such as the Redskins offend "a sizable group of people." He said that while fans get attached to the names, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place. "I dont know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things," he said in the interview, which was conducted Friday at the White House. An avid sports fan who roots for his hometown Chicago Bears, Obama said he doesnt think Washington football fans are purposely trying to offend Native Americans. "I dont want to detract from the wonderful Redskins fans that are here. They love their team and rightly so," he said. But he appeared to come down on the side of those who have sharply criticized the football teams name, noting that Native Americans "feel pretty strongly" about mascots and team names that depict negative stereotypes about their heritage. The teams owner, Dan Snyder has vowed to never abandon the name. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said last month that the league should pay attention to those offended by the name -- a subtle change in position for Goodell, who had more strongly supported the name in his previous statements this year. Lanny J. Davis, an attorney for the Redskins, said the teams fans dont intend to "disparage or disrespect" anyone. "The name Washington Redskins is 80 years old. Its our history and legacy and tradition," Davis said in an emailed statement in which he also identified himself as an Obama supporter. "We Redskins fans sing Hail to the Redskins every Sunday as a word of honour, not disparagement." Other professional sports teams have Native American names, including footballs Kansas City Chiefs and baseballs Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians. Davis referred to fans of those teams and hockeys Chicago Blackhawks in his statement, saying Redskins fans "love our team and its name and, like those fans, we do not intend to disparage or disrespect a racial or ethnic group." Numerous colleges and universities have changed names that reference Native Americans. St. Johns changed its mascot from the Redmen to the Red Storm, Marquette is now the Golden Eagles instead of the Warriors and Stanford switched from the Indians to the Cardinal. The Redskins name has attracted a fresh round of controversy in recent months, with local leaders in Washington callling for a name change and some media outlets refraining from using the name.dddddddddddd The name is the subject of a long-running legal challenge from a group of Native Americans seeking to block the team from having federal trademark protection. Congressional lawmakers have introduced a bill seeking the same goal, though it appears unlikely to pass. "What a prudent and wise use of the bully pulpit," Suzan Shown Harjo, a plaintiff in that case, said in an interview Saturday. "I am so glad that he said that and I hope that people hear a reasoned response from the president and will pay attention to this issue." Harjo said the issue "involves lots of hurt and pain and ongoing name-calling and bullying of our children that goes with this name. We just need to have an end to it." "Theres no such thing as a good stereotype, no matter how well-intentioned, no matter how good people feel about it," Harjo added. "It still has negative ramifications for our people." "These are relics of the past. They should be consigned to museums and history books and people can feel good about them there," she said. "But they should not be allowed in polite society." Opponents of the Redskins name plan to hold a symposium Monday at the Washington hotel hosting the NFLs fall meeting. "We really appreciate the president underscoring what weve been saying," said Ray Halbritter, leader of the Oneida Indian Nation, a tribe from upstate New York thats been campaigning against the name. "Theres just no place for a professional football team to be using what the dictionary defines as a racially offensive term." Halbritter said the NFL and Snyder could "borrow a page from the president" and use a decision to change the teams name as a "teachable moment." Despite the controversy, an AP-GfK poll conducted in April showed that, nationally, "Redskins" still enjoys wide support. Nearly 4 in 5 Americans dont think the team should change its name, the survey found. Only 11 per cent think it should be changed, while 8 per cent werent sure and 2 per cent didnt answer. Obama said he doesnt have a direct stake in the Redskins debate since hes not a team owner. But he hinted that might be part of his post-White House plans. "Maybe after I leave the presidency," he joked. "I think it would be a lot of fun." "Id probably look at a basketball team before I looked at a football team," said Obama, who plays basketball in his spare time, has coached his daughters basketball team and is a fan of the NBAs Chicago Bulls. "I know more about basketball than I do about football." ' ' '
