BEIJING, China - Canadas Kevin Koe is on the playoff bubble at the world mens curling championship after splitting his games Wednesday at Capital Gymnasium. The veteran skip and his Calgary-based team beat Switzerlands Peter de Cruz 8-4 before dropping a 6-2 decision to Swedens Oskar Eriksson in the evening draw. "Its disappointing, that was a big game for us and we couldnt pull (it) out," said Koe. "Thats a tough one. Just one of those games where we would build a big end and hed come up with a good shot and I couldnt answer. "I had a few chances. I missed a triple for three (in the sixth end) and kind of miscalled the line again. Just one of those games — off by a couple inches." Canada was tied with Switzerland at 6-3 after 14 draws of play. Norways Thomas Ulsrud was in first place at 8-1 and Japans Yusuke Morozumi was next at 7-2. Round-robin play wraps up Thursday with Canada set to play Germanys Johnny Jahr and Scotlands Ewan MacDonald. The top four teams will make the playoffs. Canada still has a chance to qualify for the 1-2 Page Playoff game Friday. The winner of that game advances straight to the gold-medal game and the loser will play in Saturdays semifinal against the winner of the 3-4 Page Playoff game. The 3-4 loser and semifinal loser will play for the bronze medal Sunday before the gold-medal game. Sweden scored six single points in the win over Canada, including steals in the second, fifth and sixth ends. Eriksson moved into a fifth-place tie with Chinas Rui Liu at 5-4. "That win was huge," Eriksson said. "We lost to Switzerland this morning so we had to win this to stay in the race. We made some big shots. I made an important double in the second end to stay alive or else we would lose four. We played really good after that. "Our goal is to get into the playoffs and finish off with a medal." Norway locked up a playoff spot with an 11-2 rout of Russias Evgeny Arkhipov (1-8). Japan, meanwhile, scored a deuce in the 10th end for an 8-7 win over Germany. Koe won gold at his only previous appearance at the 2010 world championship in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy. "Our backs are against the wall and we just have to worry about making the playoffs," he said. "I dont know what all the scenarios are but if we can get to 8-and-3, we know well be in the playoffs. Weve come through the long way in the playoffs a lot of times. "Just get us in there, give us a chance and we like our chances." Sf Air Force 1 High Australia . 42 sitting next to the bench.

Not Burning to Buy Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving is not willing to risk his teams long-term future for a playoff push this season. The Flames currently hold the second and final wild card spot and hold a three point advantage over the Los Angeles Kings. Still, Treliving said the Flames remain focused on the future and are not prepared to pay for rental players. With the way the team has performed, I think the responsibility of the manager is youre obviously looking at the long-term vision of this team, Treliving told the Flames website. Those A assets that I look at, those first round picks, top young players, it takes a lot of pain to get those. As we continue to build this organization, those are very, very valuable assets and ones were not prepared to throw out for the sake of something that might, might help us for a short period of time. Youre looking at that long range. Treliving added his current focus is on assessing the future of the current Flames set for unrestricted free agency this summer. Were going to evaluate and continue to evaluate each situation independently and see where we get to as we get to the deadline and beyond, he said. The Price for Franson? According to Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for a second-round pick in exchange for defenceman Cody Fransson.dddddddddddd Franson, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, has six goals and 23 assists in 49 games with the Leafs this season. Franson will turn 27 this August. Eye on (another) Prize? Though the New York Rangers – and several other teams – could use the services of forward Antione Vermette, Steve Zipay of Newsday believes the Blue Shirts should look elsewhere on the Coyotes roster for help. While Zipay believes the asking price for Vermette would include 2011 first-round pick J.T. Miller and likely more from the Rangers, Martin Hanzal could be had at a cheaper price. Unlike Vermette, Hanzel is signed through the 2016-17 season at an affordable cap hit of $3.1 million. Ziplay believes defenceman John Moore, who was a healthy scratch multiple times in January, and a mid-round pick could land the 27-year-old Hanzal. The Rangers are believed to be looking to add a two-way centre to their lineup. Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mike Santorelli is another option Ziplay believes the Rangers could look at. If Moore is traded, Ziplay believes the Rangers will look to find a veteran defenceman to replace him. To High to Yandle? Ansar Khan of Michigan Live notes that though the Red Wings are interested in adding a defenceman at the trade deadline, the price for Keith Yandle will likely be too high for Detroit. Khan speculates the Red Wings will not be willing to part with the Arizona Coyotes’ high price point for their leading scorer. That price could include a top prospect and/or a current young roster player. Yandle has four goals and 34 points in 50 games with the Coyotes this season. He is signed through next season. ' ' '
