MRKH was ist das? » committed to keeping the 21-year-old i

CALGARY - Johnny Gaudreau was still living in a Calgary hotel seven weeks after reporting to Flames training camp.The hotel room represents both sides of a coin for Gaudreau. The Flames havent yet committed to keeping the 21-year-old in the lineup, but theyve liked Gaudreaus play enough to keep him in the NHL for now.Ive got a clean bed made every morning so thats nice, the rookie forward said Wednesday. Im going to sit there in the hotel and wait until Im told to get a place.Hopefully, I keep showing I belong here.Listed at five foot nine and 150 pounds by the Flames, there were questions about Gaudreaus ability to take NHL-sized checks over an 82-game season, and whether he should start the season with the American Hockey Leagues Adirondack Flames in upstate New York.But Gaudreau led the Flames in shots on net in the pre-season and dazzled with moments of brilliant playmaking. He earned his spot on the opening-day roster, but then managed just one shot on goal in his first five games.Gaudreau was a healthy scratch Oct. 17 in Columbus. He responded by scoring his first NHL goal of the regular season two days later in Winnipeg.After getting zero shots on net Saturday against Washington, Gaudreau shone in Calgarys 2-1 shootout loss to Montreal on Tuesday.He assisted on Calgarys lone goal and put six shots on Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, who stole the game for the Habs.That was Johnnys best game, Flames head coach Bob Hartley said. I felt he was our best forward.Calgary (5-4-2) is at home against the Nashville Predators on Friday. Hartley is giving Jonas Hiller a second straight start in net. The Flames open a five-game road trip Sunday in Montreal.It would have been surprising if Gaudreaus first month in the NHL was a smooth learning curve. While he did turn the puck over during an early power play against Montreal, he hasnt been a major defensive liability despite his inexperience.After 11 games, the right-winger from Carneys Point, N.J., was plus-five along with a goal and three assists.Ive definitely been trying hard lately to be better in the defensive zone, Gaudreau said. Ive been talking to the coaching staff and going over clips about things I need to get better at.But its been Gaudreaus puck and passing skills that gets Flames fans buzzing. His nickname is Johnny Hockey. Its good timing if Gaudreau feels more confident on offence because the Flames are suddenly thin up front.Centre Matt Stajan is out up to six weeks with a knee injury he sustained in Tuesdays collision with Montreals Jarred Tinordi.Centre Joe Colbornes status is day-to-day following a wrist injury that took him out of that game. Winger Mason Raymond was already sidelined with a shoulder injury and is said to be week-to-week. Calgary called up centre Markus Granlund from the Adirondack Flames on Wednesday.The Flames drafted Gaudreau in the fourth round in 2011. Calgary signed him to a contract April 11, which was the same day he won the Hobey Baker Award as the top player in NCAA Division 1 mens hockey.After his college career with Boston College concluded, Gaudreau tantalized Flames fans by scoring a goal in Calgarys final game of the regular season and his first in the NHL.When combined with NHL pre-season games and rookie-camp games, Gaudreau has played almost half a college season before the end of October.To prepare for the NHL marathon, he says he spent more time in the weight room to build strength and less time on the ice to build up his reserves in the off-season. Gaudreau knows hell have to be vigilant about managing his energy if hes to stick with the Flames.I definitely feel how many games weve played, Gaudreau said. Its my rookie year so its something Im going to try to think (about) and make sure Im getting rest and getting fluids in me throughout the days when I do have days off.Flames assistant general manager Craig Conroy expects Gaudreaus learning curve to continue rising as he adjusts to NHL defences.Last year when I watched him, every time he got the puck, the first thing (the opposition) did was back up, Conroy said. They gave him all that room. In college, if they tried to pinch on him, he could make them look silly.Now in the NHL, the guys skate so well, theyre so big, they close gaps quickly.Theres going to be times, maybe four or five games, hes not very good. This is the best league in the world and guys are not going to cut him any slack. Theyre going to try to win the game and run him over and make it hard as they can on him.I think hes done a great job up to now. Hes got to protect himself and put himself in good positions. Hes starting to figure that out which is good for us. Saquon Barkley Jersey .

McRoberts foul against James with 50 seconds remaining Wednesday night in Miami in the Heats 101-97 playoff victory over the Bobcats also was upgraded to a Flagrant 2. James drove and was met at the rim by McRoberts, whose right elbow struck the four-time NBA MVP around his chin. James immediatelly began grabbing at his throat and needed much longer than he usually does to get up after a hard foul, which was not called flagrant.dddddddddddd. "I dont need to see it again," James said after the game. "Most important thing is we won the game." Said McRoberts, who insisted it wasnt intentional: "It looked a lot worse than what it was."
