VANCOUVER - The pain of Sundays Grey Cup loss will be hard to shed for Hamilton, which just missed out on being the CFLs team of destiny this season. But the future is bright for the young Tiger-Cats.A team that opened the regular season 1-6 before finishing it on an 8-3 run came agonizingly close to a comeback win over the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL championship game.I just told them how proud I was of turning the season around, head coach Kent Austin said of his post-game speech. Weve got a good young football team.Sometimes things dont work out. Welcome to the game of life. Its not always going to go our way. Thats the way it is sometimes. But it doesnt take away what they accomplished this year. It doesnt take away how hard these guys played, how close they were as a football team and what a great future we have in front of us.Hamiltons Grey Cup roster featured 39 first- and second-year players (compared to 20 for Calgary).Austin, who doubles as coach and GM, will look to refine his roster after the heartbreaking 20-16 loss to the Stampeders at B.C. Place Stadium. There were changes after last years 45-23 Grey Cup defeat at the hands of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but more are needed.Weve been in two Grey Cups, we havent won them. We need to get better, he said.Kick returner Brandon Banks, whose potential 90-yard winning punt return for a TD with 35 seconds left was negated by a penalty, is a free agent. A game-changer, the five-foot-seven 149-pounder amazingly ran punts back for four touchdowns — two of which were called back due to penalties — in two playoff games. Austin will likely want to strengthen a secondary that was exposed at times in the playoffs and ranked eighth in the league in passing yards allowed per game (260) in the regular season. And the Hamilton offensive line ranked eighth in the league in sacks allowed.The Tiger-Cats ranked ninth in the league in taking advantage of forays into the red zone. Over the final eight games of the regular season, Hamilton converted just eight of its last 22 red zone chances into touchdowns. For the season, its red zone TD percentage was 40 per cent, compared to No. 1 Calgary at 77 per cent.Hamilton had to settle for three field goals in the second half during its comeback bid against the Stamps.We didnt score enough touchdowns and youve got to score touchdowns in this league, quarterback Zach Collaros said of Sundays effort.Injuries did not help the Hamilton cause during the season.The Ticats were 1-4 without Collaros, a third-year pro who helped the Ticats claw their way back in the second half Sunday. He used his mobility to escape a fierce Stampeder rush, digging deep into his bag of tricks to keep the play alive.Thats Zach, said Austin. Hes an unbelievable competitor. Hes got that in spades.His best football is still way in front of him. Hes going to get a lot better as he plays and grows as a quarterback.On the plus side, the Hamilton defence led the league in fewest rushing yards allowed per game (77). And thanks to Banks, the Ticats were No. 1 in punt return average.Austin will also look to retain the band of brothers feel to his locker-room. This is a team that genuinely cares about each other.And Hamilton can look forward to a full season in its new home at Tim Hortons Field, where it went 6-0 during the regular season and 1-0 in the playoffs.Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Miami Dolphins Christian Wilkins Jersey . -- DeMarcus Cousins had 29 points, nine rebounds and six steals to lead the Sacramento Kings to their third straight preseason win, a 107-90 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.

LOUIS -- The Atlanta Braves used a two-run rally in the ninth to end their road trip with a win.VANCOUVER - The stat sheet for Luca Sbisa wasnt pretty after the Vancouver Canucks last outing.This one looked a whole lot better.The defenceman rebounded from Fridays minus-5 showing in a 7-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche by scoring his first goal with the Canucks on Sunday as Vancouver topped the Washington Capitals 4-2.That was a rough night, Sbisa said of the game in Colorado. I didnt have the best sleep after that. Im not gonna lie, I was thinking a lot about that game and I knew (Sunday) was a big game for me and for the team.Sbisa blasted a shot through traffic at 15:47 of the second period for Vancouvers third goal in a 1:47 span to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead.Every time I score it feels good — the past few years it hasnt happened that much so its even more special, said Sbisa, who joined the Canucks this summer as part of the deal that sent Ryan Kesler to the Anaheim Ducks. The day you get traded or you join a new team its one thing you look forward to, getting that first goal out of the way.Im glad it was tonight.Nick Bonino and Radim Vrbata added a goal and an assist each for Vancouver (5-3-0), while Henrik Sedin also scored.Bonino was also acquired in the Kesler deal and helped set up Sbisas goal after giving the Canucks the lead just 25 seconds earlier.(Sbisa) is a great player, said Bonino. He plays really physical and I think he gets the short end of the stick a lot, but all year hes been that physical presence and it was good to especially be on the ice with him when he got that one. It was a great shot.Chris Higgins chipped in with two assists for Vancouver, and Ryan Miller made 20 saves for his fifth win of the season.Miller had to be especially strong midway through the third period, stopping successive shots from John Carlson and another from Alex Ovechkin on a power play.Vancouver was notorious for giving up late leads last season, but stood firm on Sunday.I thought we defended pretty well, said Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins. Its hard because theyre always going to take some chances offensively and they may get a few chances out of that, but Miller came up with a couple big saves.Marcus Johansson and Liam OBrien — with his first in the NHL — had the goals for Washington (4-2-2), while Mike Green added two assists.It was a great feeling to score my first goal but it would have been even better if we would have got the win tonight, said OBrien, who made the Capitals on a tryout this season.Justin Peters, starting in place of No. 1 goalie Braden Holtby, finished with 30 stops for Washington.That was probably our poorest game in terms of puck management and puck protectioon, said Capitals head coach Barry Trotz, whose team downed the Calgary Flames 3-1 a night earlier.ddddddddddddWe turned over way too many pucks, gave up way too many odd-man rushes just by puck management.After a scoreless first period where the Canucks carried the play but came up empty, the teams exploded for five goals in the second.Johansson opened the scoring at 5:28, beating Miller with a shot glove side after taking a cross-ice feed from Andre Burakovsky for his third of the season.Vancouver tied it up when Henrik Sedin squeaked a shot through Peters at the side of the net on a power play with six minutes to go in the period for his fourth before Bonino ripped his third high over Peters glove at 15:22.Youve got to support the Sedins, said Bonino. They score every game and with that secondary scoring, if we can all contribute and get three or four goals a night like we have been, usually were going to win games.Sbisa then stretched the Canucks lead to two with his first point with his new team, a goal Peters thought he should have stopped.I just tried to battle and fight for the guys and they got a little momentum there in the second period, said Peters. I really wanted to have that third goal and nip it in the bud and settle it down.Thats the difference in the game.OBrien then opened his NHL account by deflecting a pass from the slot in front of Miller at 17:18 for Washingtons second of the night to cut Vancouvers advantage to 3-2.The Capitals turned up the heat late in the third, but Carlson went off for delay of game with 1:38 remaining, and Vancouver killed the game off when Vrbata scored his fifth into an empty net with just over a minute to go.I think some of us were moving well but some of us were not ready, and maybe tired, maybe just was mentally not ready, said Ovechkin. But we have to figure out what we have to do to be mentally ready for back-to-backs.Vancouver was playing its third game in four nights and nearly had a dream start when Carlson turned the puck over to Vrbata for a great chances just 30 seconds into the game. Linden Vey and Jannik Hansen also had golden opportunities in the opening 20 minutes.(Peters) kept us in, said Trotz. He was the star of the game in the first period. He needed some support tonight and he didnt get it.Notes: The Capitals allowed more than 30 shots for the first time this season. ...
