through the line and blocked Brad Nortmans kick before scampering in

Fall is upon us and while the weather will become cooler, at least in the northern reaches of the hockey world, the prospects for the 2014 NHL Draft are heating up. No team has been hotter in the OHL than the Kingston Frontenacs with Sam Bennett and Roland McKeown leading the way. Bennett is showing he deserves to be in the conversation for first overall. Hes a well-rounded player who is impacting the game in so many positive ways and continues to get better. McKeown is dominating from his defence position and leads the OHL with a whopping plus-15 rating. Anton Karlsson is excelling in the Swedish Super Junior Elite League for Frolunda. He captained Team Sweden to gold at the World Under 17 Challenge in January and could suit up for Sweden at the World Junior Championship this coming Christmas. A theme with respect to type of player is beginning to emerge at this early stage; that of big, powerful and skilled wingers. NHL teams are looking for these types of players and the 2014 Draft offers them with the likes of Michael Dal Colle, Nicholas Ritchie, Leon Draisaitl and an emerging Brendan Perlini. We have seen drafts dominated in the first round by defencemen (2012), high-end offensive ability (2013) and now power-type wingers in 2014. History tells you they wont be waiting long to hear their names called at the draft. This is the early stages of prospect evaluation, the list is in flux and as we see more games, the players will define themselves further. Its the beginning of the process with lots of evaluation to go. We have taken a top 60 at this time knowing that and have listed 30 more players who are intriguing and have shown good potential. We will focus our efforts on ensuring we know them a little better for the next ranking. Terrell Brandon Jersey .

They had two of them Sunday. Adam Thielen and Everson Griffen scooped up blocked punts and returned them for scores as the Vikings defeated the Carolina Panthers 31-13 on Sunday afternoon. It was Minnesotas first blocked punt return touchdown since Issiac Holt recorded one against the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 12, 1986. Thielens 30-yard return in the first quarter was the longest blocked punt return touchdown in Vikings history, but that mark was short-lived. Griffens 43-yard return in the second established the new record. I thought our special teams played great today, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. We blocked two punts for touchdowns, fifth time in NFL history, first time in Vikings history. The last time an NFL team scored on two blocked punts in a game was on Sept. 30, 1990, when the Kansas City Chiefs did it against the Cleveland Browns. Both of them were individual breakdowns, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said of the blocked punts. Teddy Bridgewater was 15-of-21 for 138 yards with two touchdowns, while Greg Jennings caught five passes for 45 yards and a score for the Vikings (5-7), who have won three of their last five games. Minnesota won despite totaling just 210 yards of offense. The Panthers were a 1-3 team last season when they came to Minnesota. They beat the Vikings to begin an eight-game winning streak and went on to win the NFC South and claim the No. 2 seed in the NFC. The script didnt produce the same result, however, as Carolina trailed 14-0 early and nevver really got back in it.dddddddddddd Cam Newton completed 18-of-35 passes for 194 yards with a touchdown and an interception for Carolina, which is 1-8-1 since beginning the season 2-0. The Panthers, though, are still just 1 1/2 games behind New Orleans in the up- for-grabs NFC South. Bridgewater found Kyle Rudolph in the right flat to cap Minnesotas opening six-play, 45-yard drive, and Thielens score came after Carolinas ensuing possession. Thielen burst through the line and blocked Brad Nortmans kick before scampering in for his touchdown to make it 14-0. The Panthers next 14-play sequence, which took 6:23 off the clock, stalled in the red zone and Graham Gano booted a 30-yard field goal late in the first to get them on the board. Jasper Brinkley blocked Nortman after Carolinas next march, and Griffen scooped it up and raced into the end zone to increase the Minnesota margin to 21-3. Gano answered the score with a 35-yard field goal, but Bridgewater flipped a 17-yard TD pass to Jennings in the waning seconds of the first half to give the Vikings a 28-6 cushion heading into the locker room. Newton hit Philly Brown deep over the middle for a 32-yard touchdown on Carolinas first touch of the second half, but the Panthers never cut into the deficit further. Blair Walshs 39-yard field goal early in the fourth capped the scoring. Game Notes Carolina tallied 348 yards, outgaining Minnesota by 138 ...
