collected four points in two games

MALMO, Sweden - Ending a four-year run without a gold medal wont be easy for Canada at the world junior hockey championship. The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. "Youve got to expect theyll be structured and hard working," coach Brent Sutter said Wednesday after a one-hour skate at the cosy Isstadion, where they face the Germans on Thursday. "Theyll be ready to play. "That game is the biggest game to date we have. It doesnt matter our opponent, its how we have to play. Lets make sure were responsible." You can watch all the action live on TSN beginning at 7am et/4am pt. Pre-tournament exhibition games against Finland, Sweden and Switzerland showed that while the Canadian squad — led by Halifax Mooseheads star Jonathan Drouin — will be among the better teams in the 10-team event, it doesnt have the speed and offensive flash of some of the 15 Canadian teams that won gold in the past. The host team Sweden, with at least 10 players returning from a squad that won silver last year in Ufa, Russia, looks like the team to beat, especially after the 3-0 beating they put on Canada in an exhibition game last week. The Swedes are in the opposite first-round group and will play at the newer, much larger Malmo Arena. Canada has only three players back from the 2013 tournament. They include Drouin, Jake Paterson (who didnt dress for any games in Ufa as the third goalie), and defenceman Griffin Reinhart, who is suspended for the first three games this year from a slashing incident in last years semifinals. The loss in Ufa ended Canadas 14-year run of top-three finishes at the tournament officially called the IIHF world under-20 championship. This years squad is younger than most, and should be a showcase for three players not even eligible to be drafted by the NHL yet. First among them is Connor McDavid, the dazzling 16-year-old playmaker and scoring star of the Erie Otters who will not be eligible for the draft until 2015. There is also forward Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice, the younger brother of Griffin Reinhart, along with big defenceman Aaron Ekblad of the Barrie Colts. They may go one-two in the 2014 draft. Sutter has McDavid and Reinhart on the wings with centre Bo Horvat, an imposing Vancouver Canucks prospect from the London Knights. They were the only line to stay together through the teams three pre-tournament games. Reinhart turned 18 in November and is not a true "underage" junior, and Sutter uses him as he would a seasoned veteran. In exhibition play, he played the power play and on the penalty kill. In one instance when Canada was short-handed two men, he was the lone forward on the ice. "Hes an all-purpose player," said Sutter. "He just knows how to play the game. "Hes an intelligent player and his paying attention to details in all sorts of situations is very high. As a coach, youre very comfortable playing him in whatever situation that occurs." Reinhart is used to the ice time with Kootenay and was a captain on Canadian under-18 teams, so he likes the responsibility Sutter has given him. "It gives you confidence for opening night," he said. "We took some games to find our mentality and what well bring to the first one. "We feel confident in our game right now. The focus has turned onto the first game against Germany and were looking forward to it." The exhibition games were a test for Drouin, the third overall pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning last June. Sutter blasted him for a weak showing against Sweden, even though it was Drouins first game since suffering a concussion in a league game with Halifax on Dec. 8. He was moved from left wing to centre for the final exhibition against the Swiss and played better. "Brent said some stuff," said Drouin, who will likely centre big winger Anthony Mantha and the defensively solid Taylor Leier of the Portland Winterhawks. "I know I played bad and didnt help the team. "I had to step up my game against the Swiss and I think I did. I feel better. The first game was a little rough. Its been three weeks (since he played) and its different from major junior. Its way more fast, but I think the second game was better." Another question to be settled was in goal, and Sutter believes hes found his man in Paterson of the Saginaw Spirit, who will start against Germany. The Mooseheads Zach Fucale will start the tournament as the backup, but Sutter expects both will see action in the tournament. Other lines are likely to have Nic Petan of Portland between Curtis Lazar of the Edmonton Oil Kings and Kerby Rychel of the Gueph Storm; and captain Scott Laughton of the Oshawa Generals with Frederik Gauthier of the Rimouski Oceanic and Josh Anderson of the Knights. Charles Hudon of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens may slot in the Drouin line. The defence will likely be rearranged when Griffin Reinhart returns Dec. 31 against the Americans. Sutter has been trying various combinations for a group that includes Ekblad, Matt Dumba of the Minnesota Wild, Chris Bigras of the Owen Sound Attack, McDavids Erie teammate Adam Pelech, Josh Morrissey of the Prince Albert Raiders and Derrick Pouliot of Portland. Without a high-powered attack, there has been much talk of playing "Boston Bruins hockey," which despite popular perception does not mean hammering everyone who moves, but rather working the puck up the ice in tight, five-man units and playing a controlled two-way game. "It is the makeup of our team," said Sutter, who won gold with a similar group in 2006. "We have to support each other. "We cant be a spread-out team thats playing one zone and two zones ahead. We have to be coming out of zones together and using each other. When one guy has the puck, the other four have to be options and be available for plays. And we have to be smart when were hitting the red line. We cant have turnovers." The game against Germany is a chance to see flashy forward Leon Draisaitl, who is Morrisseys teammate in Prince Albert. Draisaitl is a projected top-10 pick in 2014. They played against one another at the under-18 championship, and Morrissey said they have been joking about meeting again at the world juniors. "Hes a really skilled player," the Calgary native said. "Weve become almost best friends on our team. "Hes got phenomenal vision. I think he plays like (Anze) Kopitar. He likes (Pavel) Datsyuk a lot. All I can say is hes an unreal player." wooden bulb pendant-floor lamp Bring life to a dated and dark family room THE CHALLENGE Margaret "Carol" Harrison’s family room. (Leah L. Jones/For The Washington Post) Margaret Harrison, left, wants to brighten and update the long, narrow family room of her Mechanicsville home. She’d like a comfortable space where she can relax but is struggling to arrange furniture around the sliding glass doors and the fireplace. THE SOLUTION The solution. (Julius Goyanko for The Washington Post) Designer Sharon Hayden uses paint to warm the room and brighten the paneling, and adds a long sectional to increase seating without blocking movement. Hayden, of Studio Starrs Interiors (571-212-8431, http://www.studiostarrs. com), is based in Vienna. Warm up the walls with a beige, such as Benjamin Moore’s Pittsfield Buff. Use a diluted version of this color on the paneling and ceiling. Install neutral, low-pile carpeting in place of the existing red, and layer an area rug on top to define the seating space. Replace the blinds with panel drapes to add color to the room and soften the large sliding glass doors. Upholstered chairs brighten the room and add seating. Place a small bookcase next to the sectional to increase storage and double as a sofa table. A set of colorful prints above the sectional creates a focal point for the room. Use modular pieces to build a sectional that creates room for sitting and lounging, without blocking the walkway. cheap wooden chandelier lamps “Shape and silhouette are always major considerations when designing an interior,” she said. “Much like any essential duality – yin and yang, hard and soft, masculine and feminine – when a room has straight and curvy elements, the result is more complete and, therefore, more successful.” http://www.cheapwoodenlamps.com/wooden-flush-mount.html Image via Highlight Design/Kickstarter Now, we’ve featured lots of LED lamps and bulb designs in the past. What makes the Ambient one different is that it uses not one, but sixteen outwardly facing high brightness LEDs to create an omnidirectional output that’s capable of filling living and work spaces with warm, inviting light. The lamp’s design includes a full range sliding dimmer and custom heatsink attachment, allows for consistent heat removal, ensuring optimal operating temperature and longevity. The AmbientOne is the first product to be designed and produced by Highlight Design, a small studio based in Omaha, Nebraska. “We started with lighting design because it’s a great challenge,” writes founder Alex Bodell. “Our goal was to create a lamp that could seamlessly fit into a wide range of contemporary settings and produce clean and inviting light.” The company is now seeking Kickstarter funding to produce 100 AmbientOne lamps in two finishes. Although the idea is awesome, the $495 price tag might be a little prohibitive for some. country wooden wall sconces Steve Barton Denny Letcher contacted us to explain that this photo, as featured in last week’s Echo, was a publicity shot taken at Castle Manor Upper School’s sixth form centre for a play by the Centre Stage Company, called Bedroom Farce.
