. The Austrian, who was four strokes off the lead going into the final round, finished with an overall 19-under 269. He is the second Austrian winner of the event after Markus Brier in 2006. SUNRISE, Fla. . -- Going down 3-0 in a playoff game against Martin Brodeur is not a great idea. Going down 2-0 in a playoff series against Brodeur is even worse. Over Brodeurs storied time in the New Jersey nets, the Devils are a perfect 10-for-10 when winning the first two games of a post-season series. New Jersey could get there again Sunday night, when the Devils visit the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference first-round matchup. New Jersey used a three-goal start to fuel what became a 3-2 victory in Game 1, and the Panthers understand another home loss in Game 2 would mean big trouble. "Weve got to split here," Florida defenceman Brian Campbell said. "Thats what weve got to look at right now. We know what we have to do. We know what areas we need to improve on. So well look at that. But definitely, we have to grab Game 2." So on Saturday, the Panthers -- back in the playoffs for the first time since 2000 and still looking for their first playoff win since 1997 -- regrouped. Just about everyone took the ice for practice, coach Kevin Dineen broke down the tape, and his assessment on Saturday was largely the same as it was in the moments following Game 1: There are things the Panthers, even down a game, can be pleased with. "Over the course of the year, Ive tried to lean on the positives," Dineen said. "I think there were some things to build on. And I would certainly like to think wed be better prepared (Sunday) night." Probably a good plan, because Devils coach Pete DeBoer started talking about his team needing to "get greedy" -- meaning he doesnt want it satisfied with a mere South Florida split -- almost as soon as Game 1 ended. "I think the pressure shifts to them," DeBoer said. The Panthers wouldnt disagree with DeBoer, especially with their home-ice advantage in the series now gone. The Devils didnt take more than 18 first-period shots all season, and didnt register more than 21 in any period throughout the course of the 82-game schedule. But the first period of the playoffs? They took 26, scoring on three, and that was enough. It was a barrage against Panthers goalie Jose Theodore, who all things considered probably did well to keep Florida within 3-0 after the first 20 minutes. And the Devils arent thinking that theyll be allowed to get on that kind of roll again in the opening minutes Sunday. "We know theyre going to fix that," DeBoer said Saturday. "We talked about that this morning. We know were not going to get that fortunate again where we can outplay them like that again. So we have to be prepared to match whatever theyre going to raise as far as their intensity level. No one wants to be in an 0-2 hole heading on the road for two games. Were going to see their best game and we have to be ready for that." In turn, the Panthers will have to be ready for Brodeur, who has beaten Florida 42 times in his career, nearly twice as many victories as any goalie in NHL history has against the reigning Southeast Division champions. Brodeur made 24 saves against Florida in the opener, 11 in the second period when the Panthers scored twice to make things interesting. He was called upon to make only six stops in the final 20 minutes, yet still tipped his cap to Florida afterward. "They feel good somewhat about some of the things they exposed on us in the second period and they played us pretty well in the third period without getting too much damage on us, but its not like we blew them out of the water here," Brodeur said. "They competed really hard and we expect even more competing. For a lot of young guys it was the first playoff game and playoff atmosphere." True, though theres also a handful of players in the Florida dressing room that have their names on the Stanley Cup. Which is why the Panthers arent using happy-to-be-here as an excuse. "In playoffs, every game is big and thats what makes it so fun," said Theodore, whos in line for the 49th playoff start of his career in Game 2. "Every game is exciting. Obviously, the first one, we had a full week to talk about. But at the same time, its good to get back in and Sunday is going to be the same kind of game." If Game 2 goes the way the final two periods went in Game 1, the Panthers insist theres no reason for them not to be confident. "Obviously, its hard to get out of a 3-0 hole against that team," Panthers forward Kris Versteeg said. "But we can take the confidence we have from the last two periods and have it going into Game 2." .Then, he waited for the results.Not so much for his time on the scoreboard — that was secondary.

Chantelle Eberle and Dean Hicke of Regina led Canada to a 9-3 win over Slovakia while also cruising by Turkey 8-3.

Team president Garth Buchko announced Wednesday that the closest thing to a guaranteed opening date is now Sept. 21, almost two months later than the last projected opening date of July 26. And that date was itself a delay for a project originally to be completed for the start of the season. The news came a day after trotted out the new uniforms for the coming season. It now seems the new duds will get most of their use in 2012 at Canad Inns Stadium, where the Bombers have played for more than half a century. With construction going on behind his back as he spoke, Buchko said opening on Sept. 21 is "very likely, if not 100 per cent positive." The July 26 date had been a little softer, with a warning that it could be revised after a project review May 1. But there is still a chance Investors Group Field at the University of Manitoba could be ready for Sept. 9 and the annual Banjo Bowl game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Buchko added. The stadium is being shared with the University of Manitoba Bisons and if it is ready for that game, they would be the first to take to the new field on the Saturday that same weekend. "If all things work out and we playy here on Sept. . 9, the Bisons will be the first to play," said Buchko. The new opening date means the Bombers will play at least five and perhaps six games in their old home, including the exhibition home opener June 20. Buchko said Canad Inns Stadium has been prepared at a cost of about $100,000. "Its no different this year than any other year," he said. "The field has all been repaired and readied for spring camp ... Its ready to go." Fans wont have to pay new higher season-ticket prices for seats in the old stadium, the Bombers also announced Wednesday. Last years prices will be charged. The delay has been blamed on high winds that have prevented completion of the split roof over the seating areas that covers a total of about 3.2 hectares. Stuart Olson Dominion Construction project manager Stuart Clynes said the company knew wind would the issue from the beginning. "Going into December we were nine per cent ahead of schedule," he said. "If we have wind, were lifting in some cases over 200 tonnes of steel ... No lift is safe above 32 kilometres an hour." He said there are 400 people working on the project now and that will soon be 600. "Were out here working seven days a week to produce the stadium as quickly as possible," Clynes said. ' ' '
