OTTAWA -- A provincial rivalry entering its 25th season, The Battle of Ontario will feature, for the first time, an Anderson vs. Andersen goaltending showdown when the NHL season opens Wednesday night at Canadian Tire Centre.Starting for the Ottawa Senators will be Craig Anderson, who faced more shots than any goaltender other than the New York Rangers Henrik Lundqvist in 2016-17 and who, in his first game as a Senator on Feb. 19, 2011, made 47 saves in a 1-0 victory over Toronto at Air Canada Centre.Making his debut for the Maple Leafs will be Frederik Andersen, who was acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks last June and is now being counted on to give Toronto the consistent puck stopping it has lacked for years.Both goalies hope to lead their respective teams back to the playoffs, which have been held without Ottawa for two of the last three years and without Toronto for all but one spring since 2004.Thats my goal, to get back there, Frederik Andersen, who played in 28 playoff games for the Ducks over the last three springs, told the Toronto Sun on Tuesday. From past experience, I know it takes a lot of work. Last year (the Ducks) had a tough start and realized you just dont get there automatically, no matter how good your team is. We have to get that winning culture (in Toronto). Its a good feeling to have when you dont settle for less.Pumping fresh oxygen into Torontos hopes is center Auston Matthews, the No. 1 overall pick in last springs NHL draft. Another highly touted prospect making his debut with the youthful Maple Leafs will be winger Mitch Marner, while coach Mike Babcock begins his second season with the team.I just feel there is a little more structure, a little less confusion and everyone knows what to expect, Maple Leafs center Nazem Kadri told the Toronto Sun. There was more of a feeling out process last year with guys coming up and down and having a new staff. Now were moving forward toward that end goal.Making his debut behind the Senators bench will be new coach Guy Boucher, who held a demanding training camp focused on shoring up the defensive.The biggest offseason acquisition for the Senators was center Derick Brassard, who will work regularly between wingers Bobby Ryan and Zack Smith and is expected to bolster an Ottawa power play that ranked 26th last season while operating at a league worst 11.4 percent success rate at home.I hope we have a better power play, said Senators captain and power play quarterback Erik Karlsson. We havent started the year yet but were very optimistic its going to be better. Hopefully we can get off to a good start.Also in his first year on the job is Senators GM Pierre Dorion, who stated on Tuesday that he wont be a patient man.Weve said right from the get-go, we feel were a playoff team, said Dorion. We hope we can surprise people once we get in the playoffs. Were ready to go. Jerome Robinson Jersey .

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Carmelo Anthony called Slam magazines decision to rank him as the 15th-best player in the NBA disrespectful but added that he wont use the slight as motivation.Nah, Im self-motivated, Anthony said after practice Thursday. I dont really need something like that to motivate me. Probably somebody sitting at their desk over at Slam coming up and doing their job.Anthony, who was ranked 13th in the poll last season, expressed his displeasure with two comments on the magazines Instagram post, saying dont play yaself and that all credibility lost in my [eyes].The magazine ranked the 32-year-old Anthony just ahead of Draymond Green and one spot behind Blake Griffin.I just looked at it, and it was disrespectful, said Anthony, who added that one of his family members sent the ranking to him as motivation. I feel like I have something to prove, regardless of whats going on. Ive always felt like that. High school. College. NBA. Ive always felt like I had to work extremely hard to get the respect I deserve.It is what it is. I take it with a grain of salt. I laugh at it. I deffinitely wasnt upset about it yesterday.dddddddddddd It was just kind of surprising. ... So its just more of kind of letting them know, You lost some credibility with me.Anthony averaged 21.8 points last season -- near a career low -- but had arguably the strongest season of his career in areas other than scoring. He had a career-high 4.2 assists per game and averaged 7.7 rebounds last season, his first full campaign following knee surgery in 2015.The Knicks won just 32 games, though, and have missed the playoffs in each of the past three seasons. Anthony was asked Thursday whether he thinks the clubs recent struggles have affected his standing among the NBAs elite players.If they want to put that on me, it is what it is. I cant control that, said Anthony, who was last named to an All-NBA team (voted on by the media) in 2012-13. Theres so many things that come into play when it comes to team success, especially here in New York. So I cant control that. ' ' '
