As Canada basks in a second consecutive gold medal in mens hockey at the Olympic Games, one question remains to be asked; who will be remembered as the teams most valuable player? Perhaps the most obvious choice is goaltender Carey Price, who allowed just three goals against in five games and posted consecutive shutouts in the semifinal and gold medal games. Riley Ridley Bears Jersey . Price also posted the longest shutout sequence since 1960 at 164:19 minutes. He stopped a combined 55 shots in Canadas final two games and 70 of 71 shots in Canadas three elimination games, allowing only a breakaway goal to Lauris Darzins of Latvia. For his efforts, Price was named best goalkeeper by the tournament directorate. Prices outstanding play is marred only by the extremely strong defensive play of Canadas top six defencemen; Shea Weber, Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester. Weber and Doughty, considering their play on defence and offence could also be deserving of the teams MVP. Doughty, playing in his second career Olympics, scored four goals in the tournament for Canada, including the teams only two goals in their overtime win over Finland in the preliminary round. In total, Doughty notched six points in six games, tied for the team lead with Weber. Doughty was also the only Canadian named to the tournament all-star team by the media at Sochi 2014. Weber, who scored twice for Canada at Vancouver 2010, scored three goals at Sochi 2014. His biggest goal came in the form of a game-winner in the third period of Canadas quarter-final match against Latvia. Weber also notched the most ice-time of any player on Team Canada, totalling 131 minutes. Doughty was third on the team with 115:05 minutes logged. A major storyline for the Canadian team at Sochi was their inability to generate scoring from their forwards. Of Canadas 17 goals, seven goals came from Doughty and Weber, while Jamie Benn and Jeff Carter were the only forwards to score multiple goals for the team. Carter scored a hat-trick in Canadas 6-0 rout of Austria and led all Canadian forwards with five points. Benn scored in the teams opening game against Norway and scored the lone goal in Canadas 1-0 win over the United States in the semifinals. With the lack of offence generated by forwards and the impact made by two of Canadas defensive superstars, very few players have strong statistic cases for the teams MVP. Captain Sidney Crosby and alternate captain Jonathan Toews both scored in Canadas 3-0 gold medal victory over Sweden and led all forwards with 98:42 and 103:51 minutes, respectively. However, both players totalled just three points in Canadas six games. Given each players impact, who do you believe was Team Canadas most valuable player at Sochi 2014? As always, its Your! Call. Mitchell Trubisky Womens Jersey .com) - The Chicago White Sox have officially announced that the club has agreed to terms with utilityman Emilio Bonifacio on a one-year, $4 million contract that includes a team option for the 2016 season. Jim McMahon Jersey . -- Downcast before the final game of what had been a difficult road trip, the Ottawa Senators found a way to dig out a little momentum in the desert before heading home. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Riley-Ridley-Jersey/ . The deals were announced on Friday. Beckham will receive $4.175 million in base salary, while De Aza will receive $4.25 million. Beckham hit .267 with five home runs and 24 RBIs over 103 games last season, his fifth with the White Sox.ST. PAUL, Minn. - Jason Zucker is showing why Minnesota Wild coach Mike Yeo was so excited about his teams depth this season.Zucker scored two goals, and Minnesota routed the Tampa Bay Lightning 7-2 on Saturday night.Zach Parise and Marco Scandella both had a goal and an assist, and 13 Wild players had at least one point.Thats huge. We know were a deep team, said Zucker, who usually skates on the fourth line. Were four lines deep, and tonight kind of shows that. Every guy is really buying into the system and playing hard, and thats really what matters.Minnesota tied a team record with four goals on eight shots in the first period, capped by Zucker spinning around along the boards and firing the puck past goalie Evgeni Nabokov at 17:15.Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper pulled Nabokov, who has 16 career wins against Minnesota, and replaced him with Ben Bishop after Zuckers goal.Bishop allowed three goals for the third time this season.Would those guys say they couldve had a better game tonight? Maybe, but if youre not going to be at your best, do it all in the same game, Cooper said.Scandella, Mikko Koviu and Erik Haula all scored their first goals of the season in the first period. A different line was on the ice for each of Minnesotas opening-frame goals.Through six games, 11 Wild players have scored goals, led by Zucker with four.I think right now we have four lines that really can generate, said Thomas Vanek, who had two assists. I think if you have a team like that, it showed tonight, but once you get to Game 50 and 60, I think thats when its important, the depth that we have.Parise and Jared Spuurgeon scored to give Minnesota a 6-1 lead midway through the second. Anthony Miller Bears Jersey. Zuckers second goal was a short-handed tally late in the third.Anton Stralman scored for Tampa Bay to briefly make it 2-1 in the first. It was the first home goal allowed by the Wild and goalie Darcy Kuemper this season, a span of 131 minutes, 4 seconds.Nikita Kucherov scored his first of the season late in the second when he tipped in a shot from Stralman.The Lightning, who played in Winnipeg on Friday, went 3-2 on their five-game road trip, but lost five regulars to injury along the way.Brett Connolly, J.T. Brown, Ryan Callahan and Alex Killorn are all day-to-day. Victor Hedman is out 4-to-6 weeks with a fractured finger.You cant be tired. This is the ninth game of the year. Thats a tough one, centre Brian Boyle said. When its that lopsided you can try and make any excuse you want, but we obviously didnt do nearly enough good things, and thats disappointing.The one area Minnesota will look to improve on is its power play. The Wild were 0 for 1 with the advantage and are 0 for 20 this season.But as long as they keep getting contributions from a wide range of players, the power play should come around.More scoring, more depth you get, more dangerous youre going to be, Koivu said.NOTES: The Lightning recalled forwards Mike Blunden and Jonathan Marchessault from AHL Syracuse to replace Brown (upper body) and Connolly (lower body), who were injured in Fridays win over Winnipeg. ... Minnesota defencemen Keith Ballard and Christian Folin missed their second straight game because of flu-like symptoms. ' ' '
