He wont go so far as calling it a myth but Hurricanes full-back James Marshall believes the impact of travel in Super Rugby is overstated.In a time-honoured tradition, the discrepancies between home and visiting teams has come under the playoff spotlight.By finishing as top qualifiers, the Hurricanes are guaranteed three successive home games if they reach the final.It so happens that all three will be against opponents who have travelled from South Africa in the days beforehand, including the Chiefs for this Saturdays semifinal.History heavily favours the home team in such games but Marshall believes the improved methods used by travelling teams have reduced its negative consequences.I dont think it affects you on game day but it affects your preparation, Marshall said.Youve got a shorter week, youre tired up until Thursday or Friday, but once you get to the game, I dont think it really affects you.Marshall fully expects the Chiefs to unleash their high-octane style in Wellington, led by mercurial opposite number Damian McKenzie, who scored 25 points in their 60-21 quarterfinal rampage against the Stormers in Cape Town.Marshall, who was as efficient as ever in a 41-0 whitewash of the Sharks, expects a colourful spectacle.The Chiefs looked awfully impressive. They played their style and the Stormers couldnt really keep with them.I thought we played well too so its going to be a hell of a match.Marshall can understand why Hurricanes supporters are on tenterhooks over the fitness of captain Dane Coles. The All Blacks hooker is in doubt after suffering rib cartilage damage against the Sharks.However, he reminded fans of how the Hurricanes were written off pre-season following the loss of five All Blacks, including midfield greats Maa Nonu and Conrad Smith.Colesys massive for our team so (if fit) it would be a big lift for the team, he said.But people have been saying that were missing people all year, people like Nonu and Smith, and weve had guys step up and prove that a team is more than one player.

ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues and restricted free agent forward Jaden Schwartz have avoided arbitration and agreed on a five-year contract extension worth $26.75 million.Re-signing the 24-year-old Schwartz was a top priority for the team, which lost in the Western Conference finals to San Jose. The Blues have given long-term deals to forward Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo, but this summer allowed captain David Backes to leave for a free-agent deal with Boston.I have no problem giving outt long-term contracts, general manager Doug Armstrong said on the teams website.dddddddddddd You just want to make sure the player is at that level.The arbitration case had been set for Wednesday.In 240 games with St. Louis, the former first-round draft pick has 70 goals and 157 points.
