MALMO, Sweden -- Brent Sutter had never lost a game as a coach at the world junior championship. It seems there is a first time for everything. Canada battled back four times from one-goal deficits only to lose 5-4 in a shootout to the Czechs on Saturday in their second group stage game. "Its irrelevant," said the 51-year-old coach, whose record at three world junior tournaments, including gold medals in 2005 and 2006, is now 13-0-1. "That has nothing to do with why Im coaching here. "Its about giving these kids an opportunity to succeed." It was a game that saw 16-year-old phenom Connor McDavid benched in the third period after taking two minor penalties that led to Czech goals, then waste a chance to redeem himself by losing the puck on Canadas final shootout attempt. And it prompted Sutter to hint strongly that Zachary Fucale will get his first start in goal against Slovakia on Monday after Jake Paterson allowed four goals on 29 shots, and two more in the shootout. "Im not saying he had his best game," said Sutter. "But there are others that didnt play to their level for 60 minutes either. Hes a good goalie. Im sure hed like to have a couple of those goals back." However, the main message from Sutter was that it was a learning experience for a young Canadian squad. "Whenever you put the Canadian jersey on youre expected to win, but the reality is youre not going to," he said. "Its how you deal with it. Itll make us a better team." The Czechs, now 1-12-2 against Canada in world junior play, were heavy underdogs after losing their tournament opener 5-1 to the Americans, but they signalled they were ready by using some hustle to score the first goal through David Kampf only 7:10 in to the game. The Czechs, however, had trouble holding on to their lead. Sam Reinhart tied it later in the first. Michal Plutnar put the Czechs ahead, but Jonathan Drouin equalized. Vojtech Tomecek scored and then Aaron Ekblad scored short handed. Jakub Vrana scored, but Charles Hudon tied it at 13:01 of the third to force a five-minute overtime and the shootout. Drouin scored on the first shot, but David Pastrnak scored and Dominik Simon won it by beating Paterson with the Peter Forsberg move -- a cut to the left and a reach back to tuck the puck in. "He did a pretty solid move there and unfortunately, I couldnt stretch out quite enough," said Paterson. "I wasnt too sure what these guys moves were, but I dont think you can blame the loss on that. In a shootout, you do the best you can. But the focus now turns to our next game." McDavids game started well. He initiated a tic-tac-toe play on a power play for Canadas first goal with linemates Bo Horvat and Reinhart, but things went downhill when he was called for hooking in the second frame and saw Plutnar score his second of the tournament one second after the penalty expired. The Erie Otters star nullified a power play when he was sent off again for hooking 4:05 into the third and Tomecek scored two seconds later. Then he sat for a while. "I thought at times, with Connor, his youth showed," said Sutter. "Hes an exceptional player, but this is the world junior level and at times thats going to happen with young players. He wasnt the only one." Still, when the shootout came, he didnt hesitate to pick McDavid, who had been scoring on them in practice. "Hes a big part of our team and hes going to continue to be a big part of the team, so theres no reason not to use a player of his calibre in a shootout," he said. "Unfortunately he wasnt able to make the move he wanted, but hell learn from it and hell be better for it." Sutter was more concerned about loose play, particularly on two Czech goals scored off faceoffs in Canadas end, and a second period in which the gap between the defence and the forwards at times grew well past Sutters limits. That came after a strong first that saw Canada have a 13-5 shot advantage and force Marek Langhammer to make a handful of strong saves. Afterward, the players were told to put it behind them to concentrate on Slovakia, who looked dangerous despite a 6-3 loss to the U.S. earlier Thursday. "Theres a bunch of things we need to fix," said Ekblad. "We need to be more passionate about doing the little things to win. But its a learning experience and were going to come out of it." "Obviously its disappointing, but its one game," added Reinhart. "Our focus is quickly onto the next one. Weve all been part of international tournaments in the past and its all good competition. You go through a lot of adversity." The back and forth battle had the mostly Canadian crowd of 3,011 at the Isstadion on the edge of their seats. It also thrilled the Czechs, who had been beaten 8-1, 7-2 and 5-0 the last times they faced Canada at the world juniors. "We are so happy," said the shootout hero Simon. "Its my first win against Canada, so Im really happy." The result left Canada second in its group with four points, two behind the Americans and one ahead of the Czechs, with their two toughest games still to play against the Slovaks and Americans. "Czech played a heck of a game," said Sutter. "Whoever plays Canada, its the biggest game of the tournament. It was a reality check for us. Every period is important because you know the oppositions always going to have their game at a high level." And he wasnt going to get bummed out by it, even if he had never lost a game before. "We lost in a shootout, its not like we got blown out," he said. Paulinho Jersey .C. -- Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe is resigning after 13 seasons at the school. Thiago Silva Jersey .

Murray had 41 touches and gained 228 yards from scrimmage, putting the Cowboys on his back as they shook off a demoralizing division loss on Thanksgiving to beat the Bears 41-28 on Thursday night. Hes a workhorse, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of Murray. A hell of a football player. Im glad we have him. There was no relief for the Bears, who lost not only the game, but also star wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was taken away from Soldier Field in an ambulance after suffering an injury to his ribs in the first half, though he tweeted later that he was good. Murray, the NFLs leading rusher, followed last years 146-yard effort against the Bears with 179 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries and added 49 yards on nine catches, hurting the Bears all over the field. I threw him the ball a bunch tonight, too, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo grinned. Romo had three touchdown passes -- two to Cole Beasley -- and earned his eighth career win in Thursday games as he and the Cowboys bounced back from a 33-10 loss to NFC East rival Philadelphia by winning in Chicago for the first time since 2007. Their loss a week ago came at home, of course, giving the Eagles the division lead for at least a week. Its on the road where the Cowboys (9-4) have thrived this season, going 6-0. Matt Forte and Jay Cutler rushed for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, cutting a 25-point Dallas lead to 10. But the Bears (5-8) lost for the second week in a row after falling in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Romo, who had a 109.2 quarterback rating in last seasons 45-28 loss to the Bears, completed 21-of-26 passes for 205 yards and a 138.0 rating to help get Garrett his first career win against Chicago in four meetings. The victory locked up the Cowboys first winning record since 2009 while the Bears are guaranteed back-to-back seasons of a .500 mark or worse for the first time since 2003-04. Id be lying to you if I said that Im OK with it, said Bears linebacker Jon Bostic. (Im) disappointed, but the fact is that heading into this game we still had a quarter of our season left so its not like we can just go out there and start feeling sorry for ourselves and saying, We didnt have the season that we wanted to have so lets just cash it in these next four games. We have a great group here, great group of men -- coaches and players -- weve just got to find a way to come together and execute and try to win some ball games and finish strong. Cutler, who entered the game 2-0 against Dallas with a 138.2 rating and no interceptions, completed 32 of his 46 throws for 341 yards, one pick and touchdown passes to Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett. Forte fumbled on the third play of the second half, leading to Beasleys seecond touchdown -- a leaping 24-yard grab near the right pylon that made it 21-7.dddddddddddd Dallas Dwayne Harris had a 47-yard punt return touchdown nullified by a penalty, but the Cowboys scored anyway after Dez Bryants acrobatic 43-yard catch set up Romos 6-yard pass to Gavin Escobar in the end zone. Joseph Randles 17-yard touchdown run through the left side of the line pushed Dallas lead to 28 points with 2:09 remaining in the third quarter. The Bears got six back when Cutler dropped a 27-yard pass into Jefferys arms in the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter. Veteran kicker Jay Feely, who was signed Wednesday to fill in while Robbie Gould nurses a quad injury, had his extra-point kick blocked by Barry Church. After Dan Baileys 35-yard field goal for Dallas, Forte scored on a 1-yard run and Chicago recovered an onside kick after it was dropped by Escobar, leading to Cutlers 10-yard score. But another onside kick failed and Bailey added a 27-yarder for the final margin. All I can really say is we didnt play well enough, said Bears safety Ryan Mundy. There was something here, something there, a penalty here, penalty there -- cant have that and we didnt play well enough. Gave up too many big plays, didnt get off the field when we need to and thats really all you can say about that. Dallas linebacker Bruce Carter rushed tipped Pat ODonnells punt in the first quarter, giving the Cowboys the ball near midfield and setting up Murrays touchdown on fourth down inside the 1-yard line early in the second quarter. Marshall had two key catches on the ensuing Bears drive -- a 42-yard reception after tipping the ball to himself with one hand in traffic, and the 15-yard catch on fourth down when he was hurt by a knee in the back from Church. They led to Bennetts 12-yard touchdown, but the Cowboys took a 14-7 lead at the other end when Beasley dragged safety Chris Conte to stretch the ball over the goal line on a 13-yard touchdown catch with eight seconds left.
