Black- and Whitelist » 3-year-old Will Take

MONTREAL – Max Domi has met Michael Jordan, but he doesnt remember it. I still have a ball signed by him in my basement so thats pretty cool. I was probably three-years-old. I think theres also a picture of him holding me when I was a little baby so thats definitely pretty cool. Domi isnt sure how he came to be held by one of the greatest basketball players to ever live. His father, former NHLer Tie Domi, was involved for sure. And while Domi admires what Jordan was able to accomplish during his Hall-of-Fame career, he insists that his tongue-wagging goal celebration on Saturday night was not a tribute to the former Chicago Bulls star. Its just something hes always done. Honestly, my mom always gives it to me, because shes like, Why do you always keep sticking your tongue out? Domi said with a laugh. When I shoot a puck I stick my tongue out. Its just a habit. The boys find it funny so I dont know if Im going to be able to stop. I dont know what that it is, to tell you the truth, I dont know. WATCH: TSN reporter Ryan Rishaug speaks to Max Domi about Canadas team chemistry Needless to say, Domis Canadian teammates at the World Junior Hockey Championship are ribbing the London Knights captain about the tongue-out celebration. Its his thing, said linemate Anthony Duclair of the New York Rangers. Guys get a good chuckle on the bench about that so as long as he keeps scoring, he can do whatever he wants. I took a picture with my tongue out the other day so I love it, said defenceman Darnell Nurse, a long-time friend of Domis. He sticks his tongue out so nothing wrong with that. But has Domi ever stuck his tongue out after scoring against Nurses Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds? No, he knows better than that, said Nurse smiling broadly. I give it to him a lot after the game when he sticks his tongue out on the ice, said Canucks prospect Jake Virtanen, Domis roommate at the world juniors. Hes a great player who brings a lot of passion and heart. Hes always ready to go no matter what. WATCH: TSN Hockey insider Bob McKenzie says Max Domi has been Canadas best player so far Domi has had plenty of chances to show off his tongue during the world juniors. The left winger has been part of Team Canadas most consistent line alongside Duclair and centre Sam Reinhart. Head coach Benoit Groulx says Domi has not had a bad day since arriving at training camp on Dec. 11. Its obvious he loves the game and wants to make the difference and when he does, he lets his passion speak, said Groulx. He plays at a high intensity, said Canadian captain Curtis Lazar. He loves to skate. Hes all over the ice and he has some fun too. You see him out there and hes always smiling. Hes an energetic guy and he really does lead by example. When the constantly-grinning Lazar is complimenting your smile, then you know youve made an impact. Domi has been ho-hum about his success so far preferring to heap praise on his linemates. On Reinharts pass that led to his goal against Germany on Saturday: That was a gift. I guess Christmas came a couple days late for me. That was a tap in, he said before adding sarcastically, I really had to pick the corner. Last year, Domi was surprisingly not invited to Team Canadas selection camp. It was obviously disappointing, but the 19-year-old Arizona Coyotes first-round pick (taken 12th overall in 2013 NHL draft) is now making up for lost time. This is what Im here to do: play hockey, he said. I take pride in that every day whether Im in London or here. Im just having fun myself and with my teammates. Lazar suggested Domis feisty play may have been inherited from his father, Tie, who was a well-known enforcer during his playing days spent with the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets. Tie Domi has declined interview requests during the world juniors allowing his son to have the stage to himself. He has, of course, been in Montreal watching with pride. At the buzzer on Saturday night he gave goalie Eric Comries parents a big hug. The two families are close and Bill Comrie actually coached Max in summer hockey (Max refers to him as Coach Bill). But other than that display of affection, Tie Domi has been as anonymous as any other hockey parent. Its pretty cool, Max said. I mean, he likes being low key and flying under the radar for sure so he does what he wants and as long as Im playing hockey and playing hard hes a happy guy. Two games into the world juniors, Tie Domi must be a very happy man. Roberto Osuna Astros Jersey .

Pletcher, who has been leading trainer at Gulfstreams Championship Meet for 11 consecutive years, will start Florida Derby winner Constitution and Arkansas Derby champ Danza in the $500,000 Donn on Feb. 7. Right now, Constitution is pointing for the Donn, Pletcher said. The question is, do we run him in between. I dont know yet. We might just train him up to the Donn. He came out of his last race very well. We know he likes Gulfstream, and I think this track will carry him a little more than Churchill Downs sometimes does. Constitution, owned by Twin Creeks Racing Stables and WinStar Farm, was third as the 5-2 second pick to 2-1 favorite Hoppertunity in Churchill Downs Clark Handicap on Nov. 29. Javier (Castellano) was very comfortable with the way he handled the first turn (in the Clark), Pletcher said. Javier felt like he was more rrelaxed than I did watching it, but down the backside he settled pretty well and I thought he ran a big race.dddddddddddd Hes just getting back into form. It was only his second start since the Florida Derby and only his fifth lifetime start. Danza, 41-1 winner of the Arkansas Derby, is waiting to make his first start since getting third behind California Chrome in the Kentucky Derby. He came out of the Derby and he was wiped out, Pletcher said. He broke out in a skin disease from head to toe and lost some weight, and we decided to just stop on him and point for the Donn and work our way back. Well see. This years Donn was won by Lea over 2013 champion 3-year-old Will Take Charge. Lea, ridden by Joel Rosario, was the 5-1 co-third pick in the 11- horse field with Will Take Charge the 3-2 favorite and Revolutionary the 7-2 second choice. Trained by Bill Mott, Lea held on for a 1 1/2-length win over Will Take Charge. The 5-year-old chestnut horse came into the Donn off a win of Gulfstreams Hals Hope Stakes in January. ' ' '
