Team USA head coach Dan Bylsma announced on Wednesday that Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick will get the start in net when his team opens the mens Olympic hockey tournament against Slovakia on Thursday. Teemu Selanne Jersey . Quick, who was the third string goalie on the silver medal team at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, gets the nod between the pipes over Buffalo Sabres keeper Ryan Miller and Detroit Red Wings netminder Jimmy Howard. The 28-year-old netminder has a 2.18 goals-against average and .911 save percentage in 32 games this season for the Kings. He helped lead the Kings to the 2011/12 Stanley Cup and was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP. Here are Wednesdays USA practice lines: Forwards Dustin Brown - Ryan Kesler - Patrick Kane James van Riemsdyk - Joe Pavelski - Phil KesselZach Parise - David Backes - Ryan CallahanMax Pacioretty - Paul Stastny - T.J. OshieBlake Wheeler, Derek Stepan extras Defence Ryan Suter - Paul MartinCam Fowler - John CarlsonRyan McDonagh - Kevin ShattenkirkBrooks Orpik - Justin Faulk Sam Steel Jersey . -- Another baseball tradition is about to largely disappear: a manager, with a crazed look in his eyes, charging the field and getting into a face-to-face shouting match with an umpire. Reto Berra Jersey . The Arena das Dunas in the northeastern city of Natal sustained minor damage during the protests, but demonstrators stayed away on Sunday and officials said the stadium passed its first test, with only minor adjustments needed going forward.Thumbs down to the Martin Brodeur retirement, as it unfolded in St. Louis this week. It was entirely fitting for the Blues to hold a press conference to announce Brodeurs appointment as senior advisor to team president and general manager Doug Armstrong. It should have been expected that he would hear questions about his decision to join the Blues as a goalie six weeks ago, and about his decision to take a management position now that regular goalies Brian Elliott and Jake Allen are healthy again. But anything attached to Brodeurs official retirement as the NHLs all-time leader in wins by a goalie should come in New Jersey, not anywhere else, and there is some room for doubt that Brodeur is, indeed, officially retired. Following his so-called retirement announcement, he was asked what might happen if Elliott or Allen gets hurt again and the Blues look to him for help again. Directly, he was asked if he would consider playing again. And he said, Probably not. He didnt say, Im retired. He shouldnt say that until he definitely is, and hes standing in front of a baackdrop that sports the New Jersey Devils logo. Ryan Miller Jersey. -- 54 NHL players have scored two or more shootout goals this season. 53 of them are forwards. Thumbs up to the lone defenceman on that list - Kevin Shattenkirk, who wasnt on the list three nights ago. However, Shattenkirk scored the shootout winner in Thursdays 5-4 win for St. Louis over Nashville and he did it again last night as the Blues used the shootout for a victory in Carolina. Its not unheard of for a defenceman to be a shootout specialist - Kris Letang of Pittsburgh has been selected 51 times to go one-on-one against the opposing goalie and he has scored 17 times for a career shootout percentage of 33.3. Thanks to the past two nights, Shattenkirks career numbers are 7 for 15, and 46.7 per cent. Blues coach Ken Hitchcock has the luxury of employing the wizard of the Sochi shootout, T.J. Oshie, as his leadoff man in tiebreakers. Oshie is 2 for 6 this season. Shattenkirk is 2 for 2. Bragging rights for Kevin Shattenkirk among NHL defencemen, and in the Blues dressing room.
