ontract is an absolute drea

Adrian Lewis and Michael van Gerwen have booked a World Matchplay semi-final encounter after wins on Thursday. Lewis persevered 16-14 in a back-and-forth tussle against Peter Snakebite Wright before Van Gerwen eased to a 16-9 win over Dave Chisnall, taking another step to winning a second title at the Blackpool event.The Stoke thrower missed four match darts and gave Wright hope of a late comeback before suddenly breaking his opponents throw to seal the deal. A sensational surge in the second half of the quarter-final handed Lewis a 14-11 lead, the first time either player had led by three legs. Watch Adrian Lewis defeat Peter Wright in the World Matchplay quarter-final Wright refused to wilt, hitting a nerveless double 16 to remain alive at 13-15. Lewis, with the darts in hand and a semi-final in sight, drew boos from the crowd for not attempting a 170 checkout then somehow allowed Wright to break.But with the 13th break of the match, the 2013 runner-up Lewis emphatically snapped Wrights momentum and sent him hurtling out of the tournament. MVG checks out from 130 in the best moment of his tie against Chisnall Later, Chisnall won just two of the first 10 legs and Van Gerwen appeared to have an unassailable lead but complacency allowed his opponent to stage something of a comeback.A three-leg winning run for Chisnall reduced Van Gerwens lead to 12-7 - the mighty Dutchman had to muster a 130 checkout to creep over the finishing line.Lewis and Van Gerwens upcoming semi-final will be a rematch of their classic 2013 Matchplay last four match-up which Jackpot won before losing the final to Phil Taylor.

Throwback Kentucky Jerseys .com) - Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau has been selected as the NHLs Rookie of the Month for December, the league announced Friday. Devin Booker College Jersey . -- Canadian ski cross star Marielle Thompson accomplished two goals in one race Saturday.The last 48 hours have been a perfect example of how Jason Spezza is the most polarizing figure on the Senators roster. On Monday night, many fans in this city placed the blame squarely on the captain for his role in the James Neal overtime winner against the Pittsburgh Penguins.   But the very next night, Spezza answered his critics with a clutch three-point performance that included a pair of beautiful assists in a stunning 5-4 shootout victory over the St. Louis Blues. On both nights, our radio station was flooded with calls and e-mails from fans wanting to talk about Spezza. The first night we heard from his detractors and, on the second, we heard from his defenders. Its a predictable pattern with the fans here in Ottawa. When Spezza plays poorly, his critics say you cannot win with him. When he generates offence, the negative comments disappear into the cold night air. There is no arguing that Spezza has had a rough season in 2013-14. In many ways, Spezza is having a similar season to Eric Staal in Carolina. Staal has 14 goals and 44 points and was left off Team Canadas roster because of his slow start. Spezza has 15 goals and 42 points – numbers that look awfully similar to Staals. The Sens captain sits 24th in scoring amongst centremen in the NHL, a ranking that suggests that he is still a legitimate number-one centre in a 30-team league. Spezza is also only one point behind Kyle Turris on the team scoring list without the luxury of playing with the same quality of linemates so far this season. And while everyone can agree that Turris is trending upwards, most believe that the opposite is true for Spezza. Those who are into analytics have been trumpeting Spezzas poor Corsi numbers all season long as tangible proof of his declining skills. After Monday nights loss, where Spezza failed to clear the puck ouut of his own zone, many fans who arent into advanced stats said they had reached their breaking point with the captain.dddddddddddd We were bombarded with "Trade Spezza" e-mails and calls and there seemed like a growing distaste for his style of play in Ottawa. One of the most common complaints I heard from fans is that Spezza needs to earn his $7 million salary. But what fans need to remember about Spezza is that his contract is set up very favorably for next season. While he carries a cap hit of $7 million, he will actually only get paid $4 million in actual money for the 2014-15 campaign.  (Spezza is being paid $5 million this season as his front-loaded contract starts to decline). And for a team like Ottawa that is desperate to reach the salary cap floor, this contract is an absolute dream. For next season, the Sens are getting $3 million of salary cap space eaten up for nothing. If the Sens were a spend-to-the-cap team, this deal would be an issue for them, but the exact opposite is true and that is why I would expect the Senators to hang onto their captain. He gives them $7 million of salary cap space for the price of $4 million. And now ask yourself this important question: Would you pay Jason Spezza $4 million to play next season? Of course you would. In a world where the oft-injured Martin Havlat will be making $6 million next season and Mike Ribeiro will be making $5.5 million, Spezza is absolutely a bargain at $4 million in real dollars. He wont even rank among the top 50 forwards in salary next season. As his salary is lowered, perhaps the expectations on Spezza could follow suit. He is 30 years old and no longer surrounded by snipers like Dany Heatley and Daniel Alfredsson. But at $4 million dollars next season, Jason Spezza will be worth every penny that he is paid.
