has one year remaining on his contract and is still only 26.

MIRABEL, Que. -- Michelle Wie is in position for a second straight Canadian Womens Open title, but much depends on a storm called Irene. Wie shot 68 in warm, windless conditions in the third round Saturday to take a share of the lead with former world No. 1 Ai Miyazato and rookie Tiffany Joh going into what should be a rain-soaked final round. Organizers are confident an early start and squeezed schedule will help get the fourth round in. But if it cannot be completed, a three-way playoff will be held between the 54-hole leaders wherever a dry enough hole can be found at Hillsdale Golf Club. Either way, there should be very wet, very windy conditions as the remnants of Hurricane Irene move into the area -- expected to be sometime in the afternoon. "Its something everyones going to play under," said Wie, a three-stroke winner last year at the St. Charles club in Winnipeg. "Im kind of expecting the worst. "But whether conditions are good or bad you still have to play well and there are still players to beat and things you have to do. I dont think it really makes that much difference." The only repeat winner of the Canadian Womens Open was Pat Bradley in 1985 and 1986. Former world No. 1 Ai Miyazato shot 71 and Joh, a 24-year-old from San Diego whose best finish this year was 25th, had the low round of the day at 65. "Its really exciting for me because coming into this year I had conditional status and I didnt even know how many events I was going to play," said Joh, who is in her eighth tournament. "Just having a chance to contend at one, thats what dreams are made of. "I just really excited. Im going in with no expectations because Ive never been in this position anywhere. Whoever Im paired with, Im sure Im going to learn loads from them." Miyazato is ready for anything. "Either way, we need to finish the tournament," she said. "So Ill just try to play my style of golf no matter what happens." Angela Stanford dropped a stroke when she put a tee shot into a creek on the 17th and was one shot back at 11 under 205, in a tie with Brittany Lincicome, who shot 69. There were five players at 10 under 206 -- Cristie Kerr (69), Jiyai Shin (69), Na Yeon Choi (69), Becky Morgan (70) and Song Hee Kim (71). And Maude-Aimee Leblanc of Sherbrooke, Que., was low Canadian at 8 under 208 after a 67, which put her into a tie for 13th place, four strokes off the lead. Jessica Shepley of Oakville, Ont., and Lisa Meldrum of Montreal are at 3 under. "Coming into the tournament, I liked the way I was playing and hitting the ball, so I felt I had as good a chance as anyone," the 22-year-old Leblanc said. No Canadian has won the event since Jocelyne Bourassa in 1973. There is some doubt that the final round can be completed. Start times have been moved up 90 minutes to 7 a.m. ET, they will play in threesomes instead of twosomes, and groups will start from both the first and tenth tees to try to get the round over by 2 p.m., when the full storm is expected to hit. "Its a pretty quick turnaround, but I kind of like it," said Wie, a teenaged phenom who played in a handful of mens tournaments but has only two wins since joining the LPGA Tour full time in 2009. "It gives me less time to think about things." The wind wont bother Miyazato, a five-time winner last year whose game has only been coming together in recent weeks after a rough start to the 2011 campaign. "I grew up in an area that was windy so I actually like playing in windy conditions, but if it rains it will definitely be difficult," she said. "But because Im used to those situations I dont think there will be any problem keeping my tempo." Marco Verratti Soccer Jersey . -- The Oregon Ducks opened the regular season with a 13-game winning streak. Lorenzo Insigne Soccer Jersey .

And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates. Flip it and Reverse It? The Buffalo Sabres made the first big move of the pre-trade deadline season by dealing Ryan Miller and Steve Ott for Chris Stewart, Jaroslav Halak and draft picks, but they are probably far from done dealing. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun believes the Sabres could look to flip Stewart before Wednesday. LeBrun believes the Sabres may consider Stewart as a possible fit for the teams rebuilding core, given that he has one year remaining on his contract and is still only 26. However, LeBrun countered, the offers on Stewart could also be enticing to the Sabres with the Ottawa Senators believed to be interested in the forward dating back to before Fridays blockbuster. Meanwhile, LeBrun tweeted Saturday afternoon that the Minnesota Wild are kicking the tires on goaltenders available via trade, including Halak. Pitt Stop? While Ryan Keslers availability via trade remains a contentious issue around the Canucks, the Pittsburgh Penguins might be leading the charge to try to pry the 29-year-old loose. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Reviews Rob Rossi tweeted early Saturday that the Pens are "very interested and [it] sounds like theyre on his list." Kesler has two years remaining on his current contract at an average annual value of $5 million. Rossi expanded on his tweet in an article on Saturday, reporting that the Penguins would offer Brandon Sutter, two 2014 draft picks and the Canucks choice of deefensemen Simon Despres or Brian Dumoulin Out of Oil If this is Ales Hemskys last week in an Oiler uniform, the Czech forward appears ready for whatever comes next.dddddddddddd "It could be my last two games in this locker-room, so I better enjoy it,” the 30-year-old winger said after practice on Friday. “I want to enjoy every moment Ill spend with the guys, with my friends, with the people I know." “Im ready for it. Im excited.” With a provincial showdown with the Flames on tap for Saturday it could provide one last battle-ground for the winger, who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Strictly Business Cory Schneider doesnt want to see his crease-mate Martin Brodeur traded, but understands that if the 41-year-old does get moved its just part of the business of being an NHL player. “Marty is big part of this team and has been forever. Im not sure there is any player as synonymous with the franchise as Marty has been or is. So it wouldnt be just anybody leaving this team. It would be the most important player in the franchises history,” the 27-year-old netminder told The Star-Ledger. Schneider, of course, is no stranger to speculation, having endured years of rumours in Vancouver playing alongside Roberto Luongo. The way that situation played out this off-season – resulting in his relocation to New Jersey – has shown Schneider that anything is possible. “It would be difficult for everybody, but thats kind of what happens. I didnt think I was going to get traded and I did. It happens. It could happen to anybody.” cheap jerseys ' ' '
