SASKATOON -- Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says talk of an NHL team for Saskatoon is very speculative. Zlatan Ibrahimovic t Shirt . Hockey fans have been tweeting up a storm since TSN journalist Bob McKenzie wrote a column musing about the possibility of an NHL team relocating to Saskatoon. But the premier suggested Friday that its too soon to lace up the skates. "Obviously this is very hypothetical and in early stages and sort of the stuff of rumours right now," Wall told the Business News Network (BNN) in an interview from London, England. "But Im pretty biased. I would wonder why the NHLs not already in Canadas greatest province. I think we produce more per capita NHL players than anywhere else in the country. And obviously its a hotbed of hockey. "If Winnipeg can do it, I like our chances." A recent report from the Conference Board of Canada concluded that the country could sustain as many as nine National Hockey League franchises. The report from the Ottawa-based think-tank said Quebec City and Hamilton would be the most suitable cities. The researchers looked at population size, market wealth, corporate presence and the level playing field created by a Canadian dollar that hovers around par with its U.S. counterpart. They ruled out any area with a population lower than 750,000. Report co-author Mario Lefebvre said there were questions about Halifax and Saskatoon and Regina, but he said those markets are too small for teams to survive. Saskatoon estimates its population is about 234,200. The city is home to the Saskatoon Blades, a junior team in the Western Hockey League. Wall pointed out that the province supported the world junior hockey championships when they were held in Saskatoon and Regina in 2010. That included making upgrades to Saskatoons Credit Union Centre. But the premier said its too soon to talk about what might be needed for an NHL team. "We always look at reasonable proposals, based on a need for recreational infrastructure, for those kind of facilities. But I dont make that comment in the context of this NHL speculation. I think thatd be way ahead of ourselves," he told BNN. http://www.manchesterunitedproshop.uk/dean-henders...ersey.h tml . -- Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera has a broken bone below his right eye after being struck by a bad-hop grounder, sidelining the star slugger for at least a week with opening day on deck. Manchester United Away Kit . Kyle Okposo had two goals in New Yorks fourth consecutive victory. The Islanders (18-22-7) also have won seven straight road games. The Islanders rallied past the Stars after trailing 2-0 after one period for the second time in a week.SAN ANTONIO -- Tony Parker scored 32 points and the San Antonio Spurs dealt the sliding New York Knicks a third consecutive loss, 118-105 on Wednesday night, which doesnt figure to ease the mounting frustrations of Carmelo Anthony and teammates. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili added 17 points apiece in Ginobilis second game back after missing two weeks with a strained stomach muscle. Like the Knicks, the Spurs are finally at full strength again, but are doing a far better job of blending rotations and fitting all their pieces together. Anthony led New York with 27 points. The Knicks have lost six of nine. They bear little resemblance to their Jeremy Lin-inspired resurgence before the All-Star break, and booting Landry Fields from the starting lineup before the game didnt help much. Knicks coach Mike DAntoni said relegating Fields to the bench wasnt a demotion but simply a stab at trying to find combinations that work. The change came a night after the Knicks trailed by as many as 19 at Dallas, where Anthony afterward admitted having trouble finding his new role in the offence. Lin came out of nowhere last month and delivered the Knicks the playmaking point guard they craved. But New Yorks transition has been anything but seamless since Anthony returned Feb. 20 after missing seven games, mostly because of a groin injury. The Knicks are 2-5 with Anthony back in the lineup. DAntoni said before the game that Anthony needs to be New Yorks leading scorer and said he understood the frustration of his star. "You have to work through. But theres no reason why it cant co-exist," DAntoni said. "Theres no reason why everybody shouldnt do well. We just got to find the right balance of everybody getting into their spots." Anthony had as many field goals in the first 6 minutes Wednesday night -- two 3-pointers -- than he did in a lethargic, unfocused performance the night before in Dallas. He was 12 of 24 from the floor and fiinished with four times as many points as he did against the Mavericks. http://www.manchesterunitedproshop.uk/ashley-young...ersey.h tml. Lin shot 7 of 15 and had four assists. Amare Stoudemire had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Gary Neal scored 12 points and found his way back into the starting lineup as the Spurs ease Ginobili back into playing shape. Ginobil played 25 minutes, shooting 7 of 10 from the floor and adding six assists. DeJuan Blair, Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter added 10 points apiece for the Spurs. It was a convincing win for San Antonio, which had lost two of its last three at home after returning from the winningest nine-game road trip in NBA history, when the Spurs went 8-1 and quietly climbed to second in the West. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich didnt stick around to see the end, getting ejected at the end of the third quarter following a heated exchange with officials over foul calls. A scary moment came in the second quarter when Spurs point guard T.J. Ford lay on the floor for more than three minutes. The Spurs said the veteran received a stinger after getting elbowed in his back, and Ford appeared wobbly while being helped off the court and back into the tunnel. He didnt return to the game. Ford missed the entire 2004-05 season because of a spinal cord injury, and the Spurs took the unusual step of noting that Ford was "neurologically intact" on a midgame injury report. It was not immediately clear how much time the Spurs might be without their backup point guard, who has played in just 14 games all season because of other injuries. Notes: Knicks F Jared Jefferies (sore foot) didnt play and is also expected to miss Fridays game against Milwaukee...Dont expect the Spurs to make any surprise trades before the March 15 deadline. Popovich joked before Wednesdays game that hell just let the phone ring his office on the eve of the deadline. "Were not doing anything anyway," Popovich imagined telling his staff. "Dont answer it."
