Carey Price gets the call in net for Canada when it takes on Finland to wrap up
preliminary round play at the 2014 Winter Olympics today.
Jackson Martinez Jersey . Mike Babcock has
turned to the Montreal Canadiens goalie over Roberto Luongo, who backed Canada
to a gold medal in Vancouver in 2010, for Canadas final preliminary round game
against the ailing Finns. You can listen to the game live on TSN Radio in
Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Ottawa. Martin St. Louis takes his
turn as the healthy scratch on forward, as Patrick Sharp draws back into the
lineup. P.K. Subban will also be watching from the side with Dan Hamhuis
returning to the blue line. "These are great players, great people that are
committed to us winning a medal," Babcock said. "Its all about the medal. ...
When you win at the end you made the right decisions, if you dont, you get
second-guessed." Pittsburgh Penguins linemates Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz,
along with Jeff Carter, will be split up for todays contest; Crosby playing
alongside wingers Jamie Benn and Patrice Bergeron. "Benn, Bergeron and Tavares
have been a great line," Babcock said. "But the great thing about it, is that I
can put it back at any time. Ive got those lines set up where the wingers and go
back and forth seamlessly. Kunitz and Nash can go tonight with Crosby in a
heartbeat. So well see what happens." Team Canada lines versus Finland:

Doughty The Finns confirmed on Saturday that centre Aleksander Barkov would be
out for the remainder of the tournament with a lower-body injury. The team is
already without Mikko Koivu and Valtteri Filppula. The ageless wonder,
42-year-old Teemu Selanne, will once again be thrust into a leading role for the
Finnish offence. Since the NHL began participating in the Winter Olympics with
Nagano in 1998, no player has more goals at the Games than Selannes 15. "Theyve
been playing some good hockey, been putting up some big goals," Canadian
defenceman Alex Pietrangelo said. "They have a lot of firepower up front and
some pretty good skating D back there. When it comes to the goaltending
everybody knows how deep they are back there." Either Canada or Finland can
secure the number one spot in Group B with a regulation win. Sweden won Group C
with a perfect 3-0 record, but with a goal-differential of five they would
finish behind either team in that scenario. Finland enters the game with a
goal-differential of nine, while Canada enters with eight more goals than they
have conceded.

Division-champion Anaheim Ducks before kicking off a first-round playoff matchup
with the second-place San Jose Sharks. MILAN, Italy -- Former Italy Under-21
midfielder Piermario Morosini died Saturday after suffering cardiac arrest and
collapsing on the pitch during his team Livornos Serie B match at Pescara. He
was 25. Edoardo De Blasio, a cardiologist at Pescaras Santo Spirito hospital,
confirmed Morosinis death, saying "unfortunately he was already dead when he
arrived at hospital. He didnt regain consciousness." Morosini, who was on loan
from Serie A side Udinese, fell to the ground in the 31st minute of the match
and tried unsuccessfully to get up several times before receiving urgent medical
attention on the pitch. A defibrillator was used on the player, who also had his
heart massaged, before an ambulance arrived on the pitch to take him to hospital
where doctors tried to revive him for around an hour and a half. A consultant in
the hemodynamics department at the hospital, who was watching the game and
rushed to help before the ambulance arrived, said Morosini never regained
consciousness. "Morosini never had a single heartbeat again," Leonardo Paloscia
said. "From when I arrived he never gave a sign of revival, not in his
respiration nor his heartbeat. When I arrived everything (his heart,
respiration) was stopped. "No one can say what the cause was, I think nothing
will come out until after the autopsy." The autopsy will likely be held on
Monday. All Italian matches this weekend were immediately called off after the
death was announced. "We are living through a drama," Pescaras general manager,
Danilo Iannascoli, told Sky Italia. It was the latest high-profile case of a
football player collapsing from heart failure on the pitch, coming less than a
month after Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba suffered cardiac arrest during a
game in England. Muamba survived, but remains in intensive care. It also comes
days after AC Milan and Italy striker Antonio Cassano was given the all clear by
a 10-man committee of experts to resume playing again following minor heart
surgery after he fell ill with stroke-like symptoms on a flight back from a game
six months ago. An inquiry into Morosinis death will be opened and will focus
particularly on the car belonging to traffic police which blocked the ambulances
way into the stadium, creating a delay. A window had to be broken so the car
could be moved, while players and officials were frantically gesturing for the
ambulance to get there as quickly as possible. "At the beginning we didnt really
understand the seriousness of the situation," Pescara goalkeeper Luca Anania
said. "I immediately ran to Livornos half, where Morosini had fallen. "There was
great confusion and I seemed to understand that there was also a bit of delay in
help arriving, because they said the ambulance couldnt get on the pitch because
the entrance was blocked by another car. Some of my teammates helped carry the
stretcher by hand to the ambulance.
Gabi Jersey. " The match was abandoned with
Livorno leading 2-0, and several players left the field in tears. Livorno
players and officials rushed to hospital, where they were told their teammate
had passed away. "Only tears. There are no words to express what I tried to when
I found out about Piermario Morosinis death," FIFA President Sepp Blatter
tweeted in Italian. "The tragedy which hit everyone who wished him well, is a
source of great pain for football fans. "Since I am not able to be physically
close to his family, I want to emphasize how much my feelings are with them at
this time." Morosini was orphaned in his teens. His mother died when he was just
15 and was followed by his father two years later. His brother died shortly
afterward too, leaving the young Morosini with just an older sister. "They are
things which mark you and change your life," Morosini said in 2005 following the
death of his parents. "But at the same time they instil in your body so much
anger and help you to always give everything to realize what was also my parents
dream." Morosini came through the youth system at Atalanta before moving on to
Udinese. "He was golden, always trying to help his family," Atalanta youth team
director Mino Favini said. "He was a fantastic lad who always rushed to help
everyone. He lived for his family, yet he was such an unlucky man." Morosini
made six appearances for Udinese before he was loaned to Bologna in 2006 and
then Vicenza for two seasons. Morosini made 18 appearances for the Italy
Under-21 side and was a member of the 2009 European Under-21 Championship squad,
which reached the semifinals. He had two other loan spells at Reggina and Padova
before returning to Vicenza and then moving to Livorno in January. "Goodbye
Piermario, you will always remain in our hearts and in the hearts of everyone
who had the fortune to know you and to have you in their lives," a Vicenza
statement said. Last month, Muamba collapsed during an English FA Cup match
against Tottenham after suffering cardiac arrest. Bolton has said he is making
"strong and steady improvements" in his recovery. Days after Muamba was
hospitalized, Indian football player D. Venkatesh died after collapsing on the
field during a local league game in the southern city of Bangalore. There have
been several deaths in top-level football over the past decade. Marc-Vivien Foe
collapsed and died during Cameroons Confederations Cup match against Colombia in
2003, while Sevillas Antonio Puerta passed away in 2007, three days after
collapsing with a heart attack during a league match against Getafe. Motherwell
midfielder Phil ODonnell died in a similar incident and Espanyols Dani Jarque
also died of a heart attack in the team hotel on a pre-season trip to Italy.
