anyone.When Daniel Carlson went out for a field goal in the final

NEWARK, N.J. -- He looks like a chip off the old block. Max Domi is his own man on the ice, though. The son of former Maple Leafs enforcer Tie Domi, Max uses his hands to score or set up goals rather than administer justice. His offensive creativity convinced the Phoenix Coyotes to take the 18-year-old from Toronto 12th overall in Sundays NHL draft. "He was pretty pumped," Max said of his fathers reaction to going in the first round. "Hes an emotional guy, obviously. Hes very happy. He had a long, successful career in the NHL and he wants nothing less for me." Tie Domi was a second-round pick of Torontos, going 27th overall in 1988. He played two games for the Leafs before spending six season with the Rangers and Jets. In 1994, he returned to Toronto where he spent his last 11 seasons as a Maple Leaf. He finished with 104 goals, 141 assists and 3,515 penalty minutes in 1,020 NHL games. In contrast, Max tied for eighth in regular-season scoring with 87 points (39 goals and 48 assists) and was a plus-33 in 64 games this season for the London Knights. He also had 71 penalty minutes. "A natural goal-scorer, everywhere hes been," said Dan Marr, director of NHL Central Scouting. "Max has a finishing touch. And that can separate him from a lot of players. A lot of players can get chances from their abilities and their smarts but can they finish? Max can finish. "Hes not the biggest guy but he certainly plays bigger than his size. It doesnt influence or impact his game one way or another. And hes like Brett Hull, hes smart, he knows how to get open and hes ready to take the shot." The five-foot-nine, 197-pound forward can also play provider as he showed in the Memorial Cup, feathering a pass between his legs to set up Bo Horvat (who went ninth overall Sunday to Vancouver). The younger Domi is just as poised off the ice, handling questions about his famous father with ease. Is it tough having Domi as a last name, he was asked. "No, not at all. Its part of who I am and I cant change who my Dad is, obviously. Ive just got to use it as an advantage. Obviously some guys are going to kind of go after you a little bit more but in the end, like I said, you cant really change that ... Ive got to be around some pretty cool people along the way. Its been a roller-coaster but its helped a lot." He calls his father his No. 1 fan. "Hes a big reason for me being what I am today. On and off the ice, hes a first-class guy. He played a long and successful career in the NHL. He didnt do the easiest job, but he found a way to do it. He was a great teammate every day ... I definitely take a lot of notes from him." Max was a member of Canadas gold medal team at the 2012 U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. This season, he was second in playoff scoring with 32 points (11-21) in 21 games. "Yeah, I was lucky," he said, shrugging off a compliment. A Type-1 diabetic and celiac, Domi changed his number from No. 13 to No. 16 after his diagnosis in honour of Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke, who overcame diabetes to play in the NHL.

Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Ray Nitschke Womens Jersey . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists.

Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason has no doubt who should be the Southeastern Conferences defensive player of the year.Yes, hes a little biased. Then again, Mason is watching junior linebacker Zach Cunningham turn in highlight-reel plays each week. Cunninghams latest performance included perfectly timing a leap over the center to block a field goal and give Vanderbilt one final chance before losing 23-16 at then-No. 11 Auburn last week.Mason said Tuesday hes never seen such a play, which had Auburn Tigers hopelessly looking for a flag because Cunningham must have had to jump offside to slam the football straight down as if spiking it off the block. Maybe a lesser player would have needed an early jump, but Cunningham didnt.Mason said he never parades players around lobbying for honors but what Cunningham has done for the Commodores and in big games sets him apart.If you can find a better defensive player in the SEC or in college football, show him to me, Mason said.The 6-foot-4, 240-pound junior leads the SEC with 94 tackles and is second with 13 + tackles for loss, just one behind Tennessees Derek Barnett. Cunningham was named the SEC defensive player of the week after a career-high 19 tackles Oct. 15 in an upset at Georgia, including a fourth-and-1 stop that clinched the Commodores victory.Cunninghams play features such impressive exploits that his teammates love watching him on game tape. Mason said Cunninghams intelligence reminds him of a previous player he helped coach while at Stanford, whos now in the NFL with Seattle.Richard Sherman was one of the smartest players Ive ever coached, Mason said. I think Zach falls into that realm of guys who can take it from the class to the grass and put it in game situations and be big.dddddddddddd.Cunningham, who in high school blocked a punt, found the detail he needed for his latest big play from film study the day before the game. During the game, he saw Auburn confirm what he thought and double-checked with position coach Chris Marve to make sure he could jump over the center as long as he didnt touch anyone.When Daniel Carlson went out for a field goal in the final minutes, Cunningham timed his leap perfectly . The linebacker has seen the replay more than a few times and already has a favorite.I saw one video someone had me doing like (Super) Mario things, Cunningham said with a laugh. That was pretty funny.Cunningham has helped Vanderbilt rebound from losing two of its first three games. The Commodores (4-5, 1-4) visit Missouri (2-7, 0-5) on Saturday looking for their most wins since 2013 with bowl hopes still alive with three games remaining. Vanderbilt wraps up the season hosting Mississippi and then Tennessee.The linebacker is showing up on NFL mock drafts as a potential first-round pick, but he said hes not currently thinking of his future. Adding a few more big plays to his resume is on his agenda for now.Im definitely looking forward to what I can do to help my team help us win, Cunningham said. Anything that Im able to do to help us achieve that thats what Im looking forward to do.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
