TORONTO -- Troy Bodies trying to make the best of his time in the American Hockey League. Bodie had the winner and added an assist as the Toronto Marlies extended their win streak to three games on Tuesday with a 3-2 win over the Charlotte Checkers. The 28-year-old winger saw the writing on the wall when the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Peter Holland from the Anaheim Ducks last Saturday. Bodie was assigned to the Marlies to make space for Holland, a badly needed re-enforcement at centre for the NHL club. "I kind of saw that coming just being a little thin at centre. Thats how the game goes and you work hard and move on," said Bodie on Tuesday. "Youre always a little disappointed when you get sent down, but thats the game. "Youre here to play the game and play your best." Bodie re-directed a John-Michael Liles point shot at 13:26 of the third period, beating John Muse for his first of the season as Toronto defeated Charlotte for the second time in three games. "I thought Sam (Carrick) and Josh (Leivo) did a good job in the corner just battling it out and Josh threw it out to Johnny, who put a good wrist shot on net and I was lucky enough to get a stick on it," Bodie said of the goal. Leivo and Brad Ross had the other goals for the Marlies (9-6-1), while Drew MacIntyre made 15 saves improving to 9-4-0 on the season. Brett Sutter and Rasmus Rissanen scored for the Checkers (5-10-1), who have now lost a franchise-worse seven in a row. Muse stopped 27 shots. Sutter tied the game 2-2 at 2:17 of the third, beating MacIntyre blocker-side for his first of the season. "We knew Charlotte was going to come. Theyre a team thats trying to find an identity," said Marlies coach, Steve Spott. "Theyve got some young players and we knew that they were going to come hard. Charlotte played a real hard game." Marlies defenceman Petter Granberg stepped up the physical play in the second period. Granberg caught Sutter, with an open-ice, blindside, hit near the 13-minute mark of the period. Sutter struggled to get to his feet and left the game briefly. Granberg did not receive a penalty on the play. A minute later, Granberg levelled Checkers forward Sean Dolan in the corner and was assessed a minor penalty for boarding. Dolan was able to skate to the Charlotte bench under his own strength and remained in the game. "Hes a lot more physical than people give him credit for and hes a tough guy to play against," said Spott. "There was some hits there that we had to kill off, but ultimately weve got a big, tough group and we know thats going to be part of our mindset." Rissanen got Charlotte on the board at 11:02 of the first period when his point shot got past a screened MacIntyre. Torontos Ross tied it 1-1 at 14:30 putting home the rebound off a Granberg shot past a sprawling Muse. Leivo gave the Marlies a 2-1 lead, on a power play, at 5:39 of the second beating Muse glove side with a wrist shot for his fifth of the season. Notes: Toronto assigned goaltender Garret Sparks to the ECHLs Orlando Solar Bears and recalled Christopher Gibson. Marlies forward Jamie Devane was suspended one game by the American Hockey League on Monday for a boarding penalty he received in Torontos 3-2 shootout victory Sunday. The AHL and Marlies announced Monday that Toronto will play an exhibition game Feb. 15 against Farjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League.

The same for both the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers.BELFAST, Northern Ireland - FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke acknowledged Tuesday that it will take years to rebuild our reputation following the World Cup bidding corruption investigation.But Valcke insisted that Sony and Emirates airline are not ending their FIFA sponsorships to protest against allegations of bribery and favour-seeking that have engulfed world football in the four years since Russia was awarded the 2018 World Cup and Qatar was voted the 2022 hosts.Emirates has already announced it is not renewing its sponsorship and Valcke said he would be surprised if Sony extended its deal, which expires at the end of this year.Both Sony and Emirates have nothing to do with the situation we are facing these last days, Valcke said, referring to the fallout from the bidding corruption report compiled by prosecutor Michael Garcia.I know that football is still a very strong product and I am not really concerned with FIFAs finances for the future.But, speaking in Belfast after a meeting of the International Football Association Board, Valcke acknowledged the immediate future is not bright for FIFAs global standing while insisting we are doing a great job.The image of FIFA is something I agree, over the last two weeks I would not say reached the bottom, but has reached a level which is definitely a level which we will not go lower than, Valcke said.Things are happening, things have happened, but we are still doing a lot of good things. We have to rebuild this image day after day. Its easy to destroy the reputation. It takes one second. It takes years to rebuild our reputation, but thats what we will do.Sepp Blatter, the magnet for much of the criticism directed at FIFA, is seeking a fifth four-year term as president in May.Much of that criticism — particularly from FIFAs own execcutive members — has centred on Blatter keeping Garcias full 430-page report into impropriety during World Cup bidding confidential.dddddddddddd Blatter received a further demand for Garcias investigation to be released from the British government on Tuesday.Sajid Javid — the culture, media and sport secretary — wrote to Blatter, saying FIFA should be operating with the highest ethical standards and be able to find a way of publishing the report without contravening confidentiality assurances.Without the disclosure of the full report, FIFA risks not just further damage to its own credibility, but now significant damage to the reputation of football as a whole, Javid wrote.Valcke, FIFAs top administrator, said the report must stay secret to mainly to protect 75 persons who have made a deposition and were given confidentiality including himself.The sense of disarray at FIFA heightened when Garcia objected to ethics judge Joachim Eckerts interpretation of his investigative work, appealing to FIFA citing numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of his work.Its said its a bit FIFA vs. FIFA, Valcke said. Its sad for FIFA definitely, and its sad for our reputation and for the image. Its sad for commercial partners, its sad for all the people who are supporting football.The Garcia-Eckert clash has led to Domenico Scala, the head of FIFAs auditing committee, being allowed to review the full investigation findings.I hope deeply the decision would be that this bidding process on 18 and 22 is closed, Valcke said, hopeful Russia and Qatar will retain their hosting rights.But Switzerlands attorney general is looking into possible law-breaking by unnamed individuals highlighted in Garcias investigation.___Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris Wholesale MLB Orioles Jerseys Red Sox Jerseys From China Discount Yankees Jerseys Online Rays Jerseys For Sale Blue Jays Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB White Sox Jerseys Indians Jerseys For Sale Tigers Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Astros Jerseys Cheap Baseball Angels Jerseys Athletics Jerseys From China Mariners Jerseys For Sale Cheap Baseball Rangers Jerseys Braves Jerseys For Sale Discount Marlins Jerseys Online Discount Mets Jerseys Online Phillies Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Nationals Jerseys Cubs Jerseys From China Discount Reds Jerseys Online Brewers Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Pirates Jerseys Wholesale MLB Cardinals Jerseys Diamondbacks Jerseys For Sale Rockies Jerseys For Sale Discount Dodgers Jerseys Online Discount Padres Jerseys Online Giants Jerseys For Sale ' ' '
