WINNIPEG -- Blake Wheeler says his Winnipeg Jets are racing for a Western
Conference playoff spot.
Michael Bourn
Jersey . Winnipeg got out of the post-Olympic starting blocks quickly with
a 3-2 shootout win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday night as Wheeler scored
his 23rd goal of the season. "A vast percentage of the league is going to be
pretty rested after a 2 1/2-week break," said Wheeler, who played for the United
States in Sochi, but saw limited minutes as the Americans 13th forward. "I think
its an all-out sprint. Theres no time to be tired." Wheeler was joined on the
score sheet by Bryan Little. Olli Jokinen put away the shootout winner in the
fourth round for Winnipeg (29-26-6). Devin Setoguchi also beat Coyotes goalie
Mike Smith in the shootout, while Antoine Vermette was the only Coyote to solve
Ondrej Pavelec. Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Martin Hanzal scored in regulation for
Phoenix (27-21-11) in the first game for both teams after a 19-day break for the
Winter Olympics. The Jets continued their winning ways under new head coach Paul
Maurice, improving to 10-3-1 since he replaced the fired Claude Noel. Despite
some less-than-crisp play, the coach said he was pleasantly surprised by how
well his team played after such a long layoff. "It was tough at times, but just
from the stuff I watched the last two days (around the league), it was a better
game than I thought I was going to see," Maurice said. Winnipeg pulled within
one point of the Coyotes as both teams chase a wild-card playoff spot, although
Phoenix has two games in hand. Dallas sits in the final spot with 66 points, one
better than Phoenix and Vancouver, and two ahead of Winnipeg. Pavelec made 34
saves for the Jets, with two of his toughest stops coming in overtime. "It wasnt
an easy game for both teams. It was the first game back and we didnt know what
to expect a little bit," said Pavelec, who stopped Mike Ribeiro to end the
shootout. Smith stopped 27 shots for the visitors, including a pair of scoring
chances in the final seconds of regulation. "For the most part I felt not too
bad," said Smith, who was a member of Canadas gold medal-winning team in Sochi
but didnt see any playing time. "But like I said, it doesnt matter how you feel,
you need to come out on the better side of things." Hanzal put away a rebound to
tie the game at 2-2 with Jets centre Jim Slater in the penalty box 6:40 into the
third period. Winnipeg took advantage of a giveaway by Coyotes defenceman
Zbynek Michalek to take the lead late in the second period. With Ekman-Larsson
in the penalty box, Little intercepted Michaleks pass in the low slot and beat
Smiths glove hand to make it 2-1. The teams wasted no time reminding fans of one
of the differences between international hockey and the NHL game. Winnipegs
Zach Bogosian and Phoenixs Rob Klinkhammer dropped the gloves just 78 seconds
into the game after Klinkhammer shoved Bogosians defence partner Toby Enstrom
into the boards. The Coyotes opened the scoring with an Ekman-Larsson wrist shot
from the high slot that went in off the post 12:17 into the first period. It
took the Jets less than three minutes to respond, as Wheelers shot from the
corner hit Coyotes defenceman Michael Stone in the leg and bounced into the net.
Smith was distracted earlier in the sequence by Winnipeg forward
Dustin Byfuglien, and the Coyotes argued for an interference call. Smith and
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett both said they disagreed with the non-call in their
post-game comments. "Personally, I think if theres incidental contact in the net
and then the puck goes in after, it shouldve been not a penalty, but it shouldnt
have been allowed," Smith said. Notes: Jocelyne Larocque of Ste. Anne, Man., a
defenceman for Canadas Olympic gold medal-winning womens hockey team, performed
the ceremonial puck drop. a The Jets welcomed back Slater, who missed 52 games
with a sports hernia, and left-winger Evander Kane, who sat out the last six
games before the Olympic break with a hand injury. a The Jets head to Nashville
for a one-game road trip on Saturday, while the Coyotes play in Denver Friday
night before heading home. a The teams have one remaining meeting, April 1 in
Arizona. Jim

on for a crucial 1-0 win over Atlantic Cup rivals D.In an unusually blunt public
warning, a vice-president of the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday
called the delayed preparations for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro "the worst
I have experienced." John Coates, who has made six trips to Brazil as part of
the IOCs co-ordination commission for Rio, said the Brazilians are behind "in
many, many ways" and are in worse shape than Greek organizers were in preparing
for the 2004 Olympics. Despite the critical delays, the Australian said there is
no backup plan and the games will take place in Rio. Coates noted that the IOC
had taken the unprecedented step of embedding experts in the host city to help
the local organizing committee deliver the games. "The IOC has formed a special
task force to try and speed up preparations but the situation is critical on the
ground," Coates told an Olympic forum in Sydney, outlining that construction
delays are just part of the problem. "The IOC has adopted a more hands-on role.
It is unprecedented for the IOC, but there is no plan B. We are going to Rio."
Brazil has also come under fire from footballs world governing body, FIFA, for
long delays in construction of stadiums and other infrastructure and the overdue
delivery of venues for the World Cup, which kicks off in June. Two years out
from the 2016 Olympics, the situation on the construction front is just as
bleak. "We have become very concerned. They are not ready in many, many ways,"
Coates said. "And this is against a city thats got social issues that also have
to be addressed; a country thats also trying to deal with the FIFA World Cup
coming up in a few months." Coates said dealing with three levels of government
in Brazil made it harder for local organizers than it was for the heavily
criticized organizers of the Athens Games, which were also plagued by
construction delays and earned a "yellow light" warning from then-IOC President
Juan Antonio Samaranch. "I think this is a worse situaation than Athens," Coates
said.

Hellickson Jersey. "In Athens, we were dealing with one government and
some city responsibilities. Here, theres three. "There is bureaucracy, there is
little co-ordination between the federal, the state government and the city --
which is responsible for a lot of the construction. The flow of funds from the
federal government is not happening quickly enough. We think we need to help
facilitate that." Coates, who chairs the IOC co-ordination commission for the
2020 Tokyo Olympics, said he thinks the IOC has put the message across in
Brazil. "We have to make it (the Olympics) happen and that is the IOC approach,
you cant walk away from this," he said. "If it comes off -- the first (Olympic)
Games on the South American continent, in a magical city in so many ways -- itll
be a wonderful experience for the athletes." Work hasnt begun at Deodoro, a
complex for eight Olympics sports venues, and the course that will host golfs
return to the Olympic program for the first time in more than a century doesnt
have grass yet. Water pollution is a big worry for sailing and other sports.
Concern over the delays has been building over time but hit crisis levels at the
SportAccord meeting in Belek, Turkey, earlier this month. In a rare display of
unified, open criticism against an Olympic host, 18 sports federations publicly
aired concerns over Rios preparations, with some sports asking about "Plan B"
contingencies. The IOC has decided to send a senior troubleshooter, IOC
executive director Gilbert Felli, to Brazil as part of a series of emergency
measures to tackle the delays threatening the games. Coates said other
experienced, high-level staff will soon be appointed. Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes
fired back last week at the complaints by sports federations, saying they were
making too many unnecessary demands. Paes said the federations were asking for
too many "large things" that wont be used by the city after the Olympics.
