Mike OShea is staying on message — completely 100 per-cent on message — as his 6-5 football club travels to Vancouver to face the 6-4 B.C. Lions in what will determine fourth place, and possibly the CFLs crossover playoff spot, in the ultra-competitive West Division. For the Winnipeg Blue Bombers it is always "one game at a time" with no individual contest meaning more than any other. But is that really the case for OSheas crew at this juncture? The Bombers enter Week 12 having lost four of their last five games and are facing a division opponent they need to put behind them in the standings as they enter their first bye week of the season. "Theres lots of football left," repeated Mike OShea when asked if Saturdays game will carry more weight in determining his teams playoff potential, or be a bigger game compared to the others. "It cant be." OK, lets take a step back then, coach. How about this just being a so-called four-point game in the West Division race — do you believe in that? "I can barely count to four." So, is that a no? "Yeah, thats a no." However you slice it, it remains a possibility that fifth-place B.C.s No. 1 quarterback Travis Lulay may miss the remainder of the season due to a re-injured shoulder, and third-place Saskatchewans starter Darian Durant the same following surgery this week on a torn tendon in his elbow. So does the Blue Bombers first-year head coach look at it as a chance to solidify his clubs spot in the standings before their bye week? "Theres no point in looking at it that way. Travis Lulay (started) one game, right? So Kevin Glenn has got them to where they are now. In reality, Kevin Glenn has been the starter. And we dont play Saskatchewan again until the playoffs, so theres nothing really we can do about that. So as a fan, will I watch the games and note how different it is for Saskatchewan, how they try to win games? Yeah, maybe I will. You know, were done with them now until the playoffs." The reality remains, five of Winnipegs final seven games are against Western opponents, including two of their last three against the league-leading 9-1 Calgary Stampeders. "Obviously all of the West games are very important. Not just (B.C.), but against everyone," said quarterback Drew Willy ahead of his teams second trip to Vancouver, where they emerged 23-6 victors back in Week 5. "Its just hard to say how the season is going to play out. I mean, theres a lot of football to be played, but obviously it is a big game just by the way the standings look right now. For sure." Oh, and about that second Winnipeg bye week? It doesnt come around until the Blue Bombers complete their 18-game regular season schedule — Week 20. NOTES: The Bombers defensive front took another major hit this week, as tackle Zach Anderson suffered a torn ACL in practice and will miss the remainder of the season. This comes after fellow defensive linemen Jason Vega and Mike Cornell suffered knee injuries in the Banjo Bowl that will keep them out of action for a few weeks alongside starter Kashawn Fraser who injured his knee in the Labour Day Classic... Just nine days will separate the practice roster signings of defensive linemen Marvin Booker and Willie Moseley and them playing in Saturdays game in Vancouver. Booker will start at end, while Canadian Ameet Pall, inked this past Wednesday, completes the trio of newcomers on the 46-man roster... The Blue Bombers did acquire a defensive lineman following the injury to Fraser in Regina when they sent fifth-year veteran DB Alex Suber to the Argonauts for Thaddeus Gibson, but the veteran of six NFL clubs has run into passport problems while visiting the U.S. during Torontos bye week. Gibson is expected to join his new teammates soon... Linebacker and tackle-demon Ian Wild (shoulder) will miss a consecutive week, so it will be another game of Ejiro Kuale and Abe Kromah sharing and splitting reps in the middle of the linebacker corps... Backup running back Paris Cotton has been placed on Winnipegs practice roster and his agent is rumoured to be shopping the explosive runner and kick returner, which means Canadian back Carl Volny is looking to be the No. 2 ball-carrier in Blue and Gold for the foreseeable future... Linebacker/defensive back Johnny Sears looks like hes closing in on a return from being out of the lineup since late July with a hamstring/quad injury... Winnipegs leading receiver Clarence Denmark was inked to a contract extension on Friday that will keep him in Blue and Gold through the 2016 season. The CFLs second-leading receiver this year (646 yards) also lead the Blue Bombers in receiving in his third season with the club in the quarterback-carousel season of 2013.

Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford.

Atlantas third error in the last two innings allowed Jackie Bradley Jr. Wholesale Retro Jordans China .com) - Delon Wright scored 17 points and No.CHICAGO -- Andrew Shaw stopped a long scoring drought. Jonathan Toews had another big game. The Chicago Blackhawks had 13 players with at least one point. Yup, those line changes worked out pretty well for the Stanley Cup champions. Shaw and Toews had two goals apiece, and the Blackhawks beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-1 on Thursday night to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race. "I think all the lines had some chemistry tonight," Shaw said. "It was a big win for us." Brandon Bollig and Bryan Bickell also scored as Chicago bounced back from a 4-2 home loss to Colorado on Tuesday night. Corey Crawford made 22 saves for his 10th consecutive victory against Columbus. With St. Louis and Colorado also winning, the Blackhawks remained two points back of the Blues for the Central Division lead and one point ahead of the Avalanche. "Were motivated to build ourselves into the team we want to be come playoff time, but that adds to it to keep us honest, to make sure were competing the right way every night," Toews said, highlighting the bunched standings out West. Ryan Johansen scored his 25th goal for the Blue Jackets, who had won three in a row. Sergei Bobrovsky made 14 stops before he was pulled during the Blackhawks three-goal second period. "We werent emotionally into the game," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "The intensity wasnt there. I thought we lacked intensity. It wasnt everyone. We had some guys that wanted to get involved, but there were too many guys who werent involved in the game." The Blackhawks had managed just eight goals while dropping three of four, and five of those came against Pittsburgh at Soldier Field on Saturday. That prompted coach Joel Quenneville to shuffle his lines, putting Shaw with Toews and Brandon Saad in the top group and moving Patrick Sharp to the second line with Michal Handzus and Patrick Kane. It worked. After Johansen took advantage of a bad line change to tie it at 1 at 7:56 of the first, it was all Blackhawks. They outshot the Blue Jackets 33-23 for the game and lead the NHL with 221 goals. "Jonnys line had the big night, with several offensive zone shifts, some real nice plays and some nice (finishes) as well," Quenneville said. Shaw said iit was his first time playing on the same line with Toews since his first NHL game on Jan.dddddddddddd 5, 2012, at Philadelphia. Shaw also scored in that one, with Toews picking up an assist. For all that time apart, they sure looked pretty comfortable together. Shaw sparked the runaway win when he made the most of a terrific pass by Sheldon Brookbank, beating Bobrovsky into the upper right corner with 3:16 left in the first. Brookbanks long pass banked off the boards and sprung Shaw for a breakaway on the right side of the ice. "It was unbelievable. I think we just made eye contact and we knew what we were going to do," Shaw said. Chicago added three more in the second, highlighted by Saads impressive series of moves that set up Toews for an easy score. Saad skated around James Wisniewski and Nathan Horton before he was stopped by Bobrovsky. The rebound went right back to Saad, who passed to Toews on the other side of the net to make it 3-1 eight minutes into the second. Bickell had a rebound score that chased Bobrovsky and Brent Seabrooks slap shot went off Shaw and past Curtis McElhinney with 2:16 left in the period. It was the 16th goal for Shaw, who stopped an 11-game drought. Toews added a power-play goal in the third for his 24th of the season. The captain has five goals and an assist in the last three games. "Its frustrating because we didnt play our game and who knows what these points, what difference theyll make at the end of the season," Johansen said. It was more than enough for Crawford, who improved to 10-2-0 in his career against the Blue Jackets. He made a nice save on Matt Calverts backhand in the first and turned away Nick Foligno on a close opportunity in the second.
