TORONTO -- Tomas Tatar scored his second goal 3:43 into overtime to give Team Europe a 3-2 victory over Sweden on Sunday in the World Cup of Hockey semifinals.The eight-nation European team will begin a best-of-three series against Canada on Tuesday night.Europe will be heavy underdogs against the host Canadians, who have won two straight Olympic gold medals and 14 consecutive games in best-on-best tournaments.Thats just the way the Europeans like it because they know they wouldnt even have an opportunity to compete against Canada for their individual countries.This is our chance to go far in a tournament like this, Norways Mats Zuccarello said. I think we just cherish that moment and this chance.Few, if anyone, expected the roster of players from the continents non-traditional hockey powers to be among the final two in the event created by the NHL and the NHL Players Association.Everybody, though, with at least a passing interest in the sport would recognize at least some of the players who started Sundays game: Anze Kopitar, Marian Hossa and Zdeno Chara.You put all those countries together, theres lots of gd players there, Canadian coach Mike Babcock said.And with goaltender Jaroslav Halak, the Europeans seem to have a shot to stun Canada.Halak made 37 saves against Sweden.We wouldnt be here without fabulous goaltending, Europe coach Ralph Krueger said.Henrik Lundqvist, who helped the Swedes win gold at the 2006 Olympics, made 28 saves. He had a shot to prevent both of Tatars goals.On the winner, Lundqvist got caught out of position after playing the puck behind his net.Zuccarello sent the puck from the left boards toward the net and Tatar stuffed it in from the right side. The score std after a video review.I knew I didnt do a kicking motion, so I was hoping they were going to see it on the replay, Tatar said.As Lundqvist lay on the ice with his head down, the Europeans huddled up in the right corner and bounced on their skates in jubilation before shaking hands with the stunned Swedes.Krueger said his team cant get giddy about the win because it needs two more victories to really celebrate.We want to make it difficult for Canada to win the World Cup, and wed like to get in the way of that, he said.The loss may end up being the last time a pair of aging standouts, Lundqvist and Daniel Sedin, play for Sweden.I hope I have a chance to work with them again, Swedish coach Rikard Gronborg said.On Tatars go-ahead goal 12 seconds into the third period, Lundqvist failed to handle the puck cleanly with his glove and it was costly.Tatar scored off his own rebound after beating defenseman Anton Stralman to the lse puck to make it 2-1.It handcuffed me a little bit, Lundqvist acknowledged.Stralman redeemed himself midway through the third period by preventing the puck from going crossing the goal line after Thomas Vaneks shot on a breakaway trickled past Lundqvist.Swedens Erik Karlsson made it 2-all with 42 left in regulation. Karlsson shot the puck from just inside the blue line on the right side of the rink and Swiss defenseman Roman Josi swiped at the puck with his stick and redirected it into his own net.Both teams had the lead once before overtime and scored once to pull into a tie.Swedens Nicklas Backstrom broke a scoreless tie early in the second with a goal that std after Krueger challenged that Backstrom interfered with Halak.Marian Gaborik tied the game at 1 late in the period.Europe outshot the Swedes 15-9 in the second, and they may eventually lament not being more aggressive offensively when they had the lead for about 14 minutes of the period, missing out on an opportunity for a rematch of the 2014 Olympic finals against Canada.I dont think we were passive, Gronborg insisted.Custom Kyrie Irving Jersey .

The position has been vacant since Heath Streak, the former Zimbabwe captain, quit in May.We really need a bowling coach, Rubel said. We can learn new things from him. We are professional cricketers who have picked up things from different coaches and theres no end to learning. When I am trying something new in the nets, a coach has much impact with his tips.The vacancy in the bowling coachs post was extended after Aaqib Javed turned down an offer in June. While the BCB still havent confirmed a new bowling coach, Aaqib is currently in Bangladesh for a seven-day stint as fast bowling consultant at the High Performance camp in Dhaka.He will also work with the bowlers in the Bangladesh team including Rubel, who wants to pick up reverse swing from Aaqib. Pakistani bowlers are really skillful when it comes to swinging the ball, especially reverse swing. So theres a lot to leearn from him.ddddddddddddThe ongoing fitness camp marks a comeback of sorts for Rubel, who has been out since Bangladesh As tour of India in August 2015. He missed the two series against Zimbabwe as well as the Asia Cup and World T20 earlier this year.Rubel said his focus is on increasing his pace apart from working on a slower delivery. I am working hard to keep my strength - bowling fast and yorkers - in its place. I am trying to return to my old pace though it hasnt really gone down t much during the Dhaka Premier League, he said.I have been working on a different type of delivery for a long time in training. I basically hold the ball between my fingers and deliver it. The ball is supposed to slow down after pitching. If I can deliver it properly, it will be quite successful. I really want to add a few variations to my bowling because I can only bowl fast. ' ' '
