As always the first round of the playoffs provides plenty of great hockey. Upsets, comebacks, late goals, great goals and great saves. The opening round had it all. As for the Jets there was plenty of attention paid to the Ontario Hockey League final, where Mark Scheifele was having a great championship series as Barrie and London battled. Scheifele missed game seven due to injury, as London scored the winning goal with one second left to advance to the Memorial Cup. London will join Portland, Halifax and host Saskatoon. Interesting father/son note – Saskatoon last hosted the Memorial Cup in 1989 with Tie Domi competing with Peterborough, here in 2013 Max Domi will compete with London. NHL scouts will love this tournament with the top three picks all in the event, those being Seth Jones, Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin. Plus a number of other top picks set to strut their stuff. Back to Scheifele, despite missing the last game he walked away with the OHL playoff scoring title going 15-26-41 in 21 games, to finish nine points ahead of Domi. Scheifele had back-to-back five point games in the final series, including a four goal game. Another Jets prospect will compete for CHL player of the year honours. Big Adam Lowry went 45-43-88 in 72 games with Swift Current and was named the WHL player of the year. And after signing with the Jets but not getting into any games, Jacob Trouba joined Team USA at the World Hockey Championships. All NHL teams, including the Jets, are now busy preparing their final lists in preparation for the NHL Draft, a one day event this year, set for June 30. (All day draft coverage on TSN and TSN 1290). Also on the “to do” list is to re-sign players like Zach Bogosian, Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little. During his post-season news conference, general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff talked about injuries to a number of players as the Jets battled for a playoff spot. There was some concern that Evander Kane and Mark Stuart may require surgery, but it now appears rehab and some rest is all that is needed. Cheveldayoff talked about how everything was magnified due to a shortened season and all games in conference. Plus the importance of EVERY game, starting with game one, as the roller coaster season had the Jets jumping from winning the division to drafting near the top. Cheveldayoff also talked about perhaps having to create space on the roster for some of the young players. With good training camps Trouba and Scheifele will get serious looks. If they deserve to play at the top level, they will, and the opportunity is there. Another huge question is what changes will the Jets have to make in style of play with the switch to the Western Conference. “We knew it was eventually going to happen – us moving”, added Cheveldayoff, “We got bigger in preparation of the move.” So how much will that play into how the Jets draft, which players they want to re-sign and which players will they look at via trade and unrestricted free agency. So as you play arm chair general manager, keep that in mind. As you watch playoffs it is obvious the Western Conference is tighter checking, not as wide open and more physical. For fans, the move is exciting. A number of teams have yet to experience MTS Centre. Unlike the upcoming schedule where all teams will play a home-and-home series, that was not the case two years ago, and of course this past season saw no East-West play at all. Fans have not seen the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Nashville Predators and Columbus Blue Jackets (The Blue Jackets did play a split squad pre-season game in Winnipeg). The 2013-14 schedule should be out around the middle of July, in the meantime enjoy the playoffs. Cheap Red Sox Jerseys . It says Pocklingtons lawyer filed the appeal Friday in a California court.

WACO, Texas -- With a coach named Briles still calling the plays, and Seth Russell throwing touchdown passes, Baylors offense certainly looked very familiar.Russell threw four touchdown passes in less than a half, and the No. 23 Bears beat FCS team Northwestern State 55-7 on Friday night in their first game since the sudden dismissal of coach Art Briles just more than three months ago.It felt like Baylor, said Russell, who took the calls from offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, the former coachs son.Two-time Big 12 Conference champion coach Art Briles lost his job in the wake of a May report from an external investigation into allegations the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault, including some against football players.Acting head coach Jim Grobe retained the rest of the staff, and had no issues with the younger Briles having the initials CAB written on his hand -- presumably for Art Briles.To think about him losing Art as his head coach ... it had to be tougher on KB than anybody, Grobe said. I have no problems with that whatsoever. If you dont love your dad, somethings wrong.Kendal Briles wasnt available for comment since Baylor isnt making assistant coaches available to speak to the media this season.Russell was the top-rated FBS passer when he suffered a season-ending neck injury in the seventh game last year. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 163 yards with TDs to four receivers, including two tight ends. The Bears led 41-0 when he threw his last pass, a 10-yard TD pass to Pooh Stricklin with five minutes left in the first half.All for it, hes who brought me here. He gave me opportunity and I love him for it, Russell said when asked about Kendal Briles tribute. Coach Grobe did a fantastic job of stepping into a risky situation. Hes done a great job of handling it, and hes been staying positive the entire time.THE TAKEAWAYNorthwestern State: Really, the outcome should have been no surprise. Northwestern State had lost its previous four meetings against Baylor by an average margin of 50 points, including 70-6 two years ago. Brooks Haack, the second graduate transfer in a row to start for the Demons, was under constant pressure and completed only 3 of 13 passes for 14 yards, but he did run 3 yards for their only score.Baylor: The Bears, who are down to about 70 scholarship players, got some valuable playing time for true freshman quarterback Zach Smith and plenty of other non-starters, including third-teamers on offense and defense after halftime.dddddddddddd Smith went through spring practice after graduating high school early, and was thrust into the role as backup when Jarrett Stidham left Baylor this summer. Smith was 5-of-7 passing for 60 yards and a touchdown, and two other freshmen got into the game as well.The defense was overwhelming, holding Northwestern State to 78 total yards, but it will get a much tougher test against SMU, where Bears defensive coordinator Phil Bennett was once the head coach.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor: Dont look for the Bears to make much of a move in the poll. Sure, they could move up a spot or two if other teams ranked above them lose, but a 48-point victory against an FCS team isnt likely to overly impress voters.KEY NUMBERSBaylor had 498 total yards (275 rushing, 223 passing). ... Terence Williams ran a Baylor-high 11 times for 72 yards and two touchdowns. ... Shock Linwood, who ran nine times for 97 yards, is 107 yards shy of becoming Baylors career rushing leader. Walter Abercrombies record of 3,665 yards has stood for 35 years. ... The last time two Baylor tight ends caught TD passes in the same game was Sept. 8, 2007, when Justin Akers had two TDs and Brad Taylor one in a 42-17 win vs. Rice. ... The Bears led 48-0 at the half, when Northwestern State had 3 total yards and eight punts.UP NEXTNorthwestern State: The Demons have never been competitive against Baylor. So they just have to move forward and get ready for their Southland Conference opener at home Sept. 8 against Incarnate Word.Coming out in the second half, offensively, defensively, we were able to do some things, Demons coach Jay Thomas said. Baylor, theyre really good, man.Baylor: After easing into the season against a lower-division opponent, the Bears stay home next week against SMU. It is the first of consecutive games against former Southwest Conference rivals (the Mustangs and Rice) who are still in the field of candidates for possible Big 12 expansion. ' ' '
