TORONTO -- One of the fastest minutes in hockey history starts with Connor McDavid picking up the puck in his own zone, maybe 15 feet behind his blue line, 17 seconds into the first period. Freeze him in that moment, and he is hockey and youth and everything they might become: already in full stride, head up, brimming with possibility.He narrows the ice between his right skate and the boards in front of Team North Americas bench and leaves Swedens iconic Daniel Sedin, closing in from center ice, an ocean behind.Had a lot of speed, McDavid says.Two seconds after he first touched the puck, the 19-year-old blurs past Henrik Sedin, who waves his stick in McDavids general direction like an old man trying to push a cat away with a broom.Its tough when youre standing still, and the guy comes 200 miles per hour at you, Sedin says.I just tried to get to the middle as fast as I could, McDavid says.One second later, McDavid splits Anton Stralman and Victor Hedman, arguably the best defensive pairing in the world. Was fortunate to kind of break through there, he says. He fights to keep his balance and does. Four seconds after his first touch, having skated over four Swedes and about 140 feet of ice, he nearly beats Henrik Lundqvist through his pads.A good play, he says. I guess.Auston Matthews, who just turned 19, picks up the rebound. He stick handles while on his knees before finding his blades and sliding the puck across to Morgan Rielly, 22. Lundqvist stops Riellys slap shot with his right pad, but the puck goes straight to Matthews, his stick waiting on the ice.He tucks the puck inside the wide-open net.A good start, Matthews says.Thirty seconds into the game, Team North America celebrates, with the normally reserved Matthews pumping both his fists. The song the players asked to hear after every one of their goals, Chiddy Bangs Opposite of Adults, rips out of the Air Canada Centres loudspeakers.It is the perfect song, defiant and joyous.Tell Mommy Im sorry / This life is a party / Im never growing up.Fans are still settling into their seats when the play restarts. The Swedes get the puck into the North American zone, but the kids, like life, come at them fast. Seth Jones, 21, sweeps a backhanded pass straight up the middle to a streaking Johnny Gaudreau, one of his teams elder statesmen at 23. He has a step on Erik Karlsson, who has to reach his left arm around Gaudreau to prevent the clean breakaway.Fifty-six seconds into the game: penalty shot.Gaudreau makes a slow approach to the net, with Lundqvist cutting off the angle. Gaudreau shoots it high and wide. Experience defuses the rush, but the respite is brief.Off the ensuing faceoff, Oliver Ekman-Larsson has the puck in his own zone. He is set upon by a pair of forechecking North Americans, first Vincent Trocheck, 23, and next Jonathan Drouin, 21. Trocheck steals the puck and slips it to 19-year-old Jack Eichel, who is alone in the middle.It has been exactly one minute since McDavid scored.Eichel flicks the puck back to Shayne Gostisbehere, 23, who looks as though hes winding up for a vicious slap shot. Instead, he smacks the puck back to Trocheck, a stirring, rare combination of force and deception.Trocheck stick handles once, comes across the front of the Swedish goal and backhands the puck past a sprawling Lundqvist: 2-0.Unbelievable, Sedin says.Weve turned some heads, McDavid says.Thirty-nine seconds after Gaudreaus penalty shot, 65 seconds after Matthews goal, one minute and 35 seconds after the opening whistle, Opposite of Adults shakes the building for the second time. The happiest kind of electricity runs through the place. It has been a long time since hockey has felt so hopeful.Hey yo, I was once a kid with the other little kids / Now Im ripping up shows, and them fans going wild with us / Tell Mommy Im sorry / This life is a party.Please dont ever grow up. Jalen Brunson Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

SALT LAKE CITY -- A former Utah State football player who was dropped by the Atlanta Falcons in August over multiple sexual assault allegations was charged Thursday with rape, assault and kidnapping.The Cache County Attorneys Office filed charges against 22-year-old Torrey Green after spending several months re-reviewing allegations that multiple women made against Green during his time at Utah State.Green now faces four separate rape charges and charges of aggravated kidnapping and forcible sexual abuse over allegations dating from 2013 through this year.Green was arrested Thursday in California and will be extradited to Utah to face the charges, the county attorneys office said in a statement.He did not have a listed attorney and his spokesman Zack Teperman declined to comment Thursday. No number was listed for Green to reach him for comment.After the county attorneys office confirmed the investigation in August, Teperman said Green believed he would be found innocent.The county attorneys office said it was reviewing the matter this summer after The Salt Lake Tribune reported the allegations in July and that several of the investigations against Green had been closed. Green was not named in the Tribunes original story in July but gave the paper an interview where he denied the allegations, saying they had been blown out of proportion and that everyone makes mistakes.When news of the allegations broke in August, the Falcons dropped Green, a rookie free agent linebaccker.ddddddddddddCache County District Attorney James Swink did not return a message Thursday seeking more details about the charges but said in a statement that his office investigated nine separate cases against Green.Utah State said this summer that it would look at how the school handled allegations in the Green case while it was undergoing a broader review of the way the university investigates sexual assault.Citing confidentiality rules, the school has declined to say when it first learned of allegations against Green, some of which were lodged by fellow students, or any specifics about how the allegations were investigated.In a statement in late August, the school said it generally found no victims were discouraged from reporting an assault or pursuing an investigation and no athletes received special treatment. The school said it would work to improve its reporting policies and communication with local police.The school also recently began posting ads around campus designed to inform students about what exactly constitutes consensual sex.Utah State spokesman Tim Vitale said Thursday that the school has cooperated with law enforcement and Utah State police worked with the other investigators.The Herald Journal in Logan first reported the charges Thursday.Green, who is from Rubidoux, California, graduated from Utah State this spring.
