ABBOTSFORD, B. Clayton Thorson Womens Jersey .C. - Max Reinhart scored twice and added an assist to lead the Abbotsford Heat to a 5-1 win over the Oklahoma City Barons in American Hockey League action Friday night. Reinhart had two second-period goals, while Corban Knight, Ben Hanowski and Josh Jooris each recorded a goal and an assist each. Ben Street chipped in with four helpers and Joni Ortio made 32 saves. Abbotsford (22-9-2) has now won consecutive games after losing three-straight. The Heat have 46 points, tied with Grand Rapids atop the Western Conference. C.J. Stretch scored for Oklahoma City (11-16-5), which is now just 1-5-1 in their past seven games. Richard Bachman made 14 stops, while Chet Pickard mopped up with seven saves through the final 28 minutes. The Heat got on the board at 4:04 of the first, just moments after they had a goal waved off due to goaltender interference. Hanowski executed a perfect power forward move, driving wide past two defenders, cut to the net and roofed the puck to give him 11 goals on the year. The Heat made it 2-0 on a power play at 9:42. Bachman made a great stop off Hanowskis one-timer attempt in the slot but Knight was at the side of the net to bury the rebound for his eighth of the season. The Barons looked poised to get on the board with six minutes to go in the first with an odd-man rush. But Ortio sprawled to stop Stretchs one-timer, one of 11 saves in the opening frame. The Heat built on their lead just 64 seconds into the second. Reinhart began the play with a great stretch pass to Jooris at the Barons blue-line. Jooris fed it down low to Street, who found Reinhart at the face-off dot. The Vancouver native beat Bachman shortside, top corner, for his sixth of the year. Reinhart scored his second of the game at 12:16. After Street sent in him on a breakaway, he faked a slapshot before beating Bachman five-hole. The Barons got on the board with a power-play goal at 6:10 of the third — the first shot of the period by either team. After the Heat failed to clear the puck, Andrew Miller quickly centred for Stretch who picked up his sixth of the season. Ortio shut the door from that point on, stopping the last 10 shots he faced, plus getting a little help when Miller hit the post on a late power play. Jooris rounded out the scoring, deking to his backhand to beat Pickard after getting a nifty feed from Reinhart at 16:33. The two teams face each other again Saturday night. Herman Edwards Eagles Jersey .

RENTON, Wash. -- Earl Thomas was late to the announcement for his own contract extension, proving the Seattle Seahawks All-Pro free safety isnt just fast on the field. Driving a little too speedy to the Seahawks facility on Tuesday morning made Thomas late after getting pulled over. "I didnt try and bulldog him and say, My name is Earl Thomas. Because then he would be like, This dude is cocky, and give me a ticket," Thomas joked. "He let me off. Thats the moral of the story." Thomas was locked up through the 2018 season when the Seahawks announced a four-year contract extension making him the highest-paid safety in the NFL. The deal is worth $40 million over four years and includes $27.7 million in guaranteed money. Thomas wanted the title of highest-paid safety. He also wanted the responsibility that comes with that. Thomas was hoping to get a long-term deal in place before the Seahawks start organized team activities later this month so there were no distractions heading into the 2014 season. "I compete in everything that I do and I want to set the bar. That was my goal," Thomas said. Thomas was Seattles second first-round pick in the 2010 draft, the first with coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider leading the franchise. Its turned out to be one of the most important selections the team has made since starting a makeover with the duo in charge of moulding the Seahawks into a championship club. Thomas is a two-time first-team All-Pro selection and regarded as the top safety in the NFL. The Seahawks would be a different defensive team if they didnt have Thomas skills at their disposal. His speed allows Thomas uncommon range in coverage. Hes become more disciplined staying within Seattles defensive framework, and Thomas has remained reliable at cleaning up any problems in the back. "II think the thing that comes to the front for me is this program has always been based on competition. Brian Westbrook Youth Jersey. When we look for players and coaches to add to our club were always looking for great competitors," Carroll said. "When we had the chance to take Earl, I dont know that I appreciated it as much as I do now the great competitor that he is. He has throughout the time hes been with us as a very young man, has played at the highest level he can generate every single day that hes played for us in this organization." Thomas gets the second major extension Seattle has announced this off-season after locking up Carroll through 2016. Now the question is if the Seahawks can get an extension done with All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman. Staying in-house has been the Seahawks priority this off-season; they also took care of bringing back defensive end Michael Bennett. "Sherm has everything under control. Hell take care of it," Thomas said. Schneider said the commitment to Thomas is another signal that Seattle doesnt intend on being a contender or a champion just once. "I think youre seeing an evolution of our development in terms of acquisition and how were building this team to be a consistent championship-calibre team," Schneider said. "We talk about it all the time we dont want to be a team that cruises in and cruises out." Thomas wanted to share the day with those close to him. He made sure one of the photo ops before the formal announcement included most of the defensive coaching staff, along with teammate Kam Chancellor, who signed an extension through 2017 last off-season. "Thats my family. Thats the people that have helped me," Thomas said. "... You learn from everybody, every opportunity you get. I dont waste my time. I invest everything." ' ' '
