CANBERRA, Australia - There were no wins, and just one goal, yet the Palestinians bowed out of their first Asian Cup on Tuesday to rousing applause and cheers.More than 10,000 fans applauded Palestine off the field after it lost 2-0 to Iraq. Fans in Australia responded positively to the Palestinians, whose mere appearance was remarkable. The team paid the fans back with appreciated effort.As expected, the Palestinians finished on the bottom of Group D without a point, but improved in each of their three performances, of which the best was their last.A talented Iraq team was made to work very hard to break down a stubborn red-shirted backline, with substitute goalkeeper Tawfiq Abuhammad especially impressive, saving a second-half penalty from Younis Mahmoud, the Iraq captain who headed his team into the lead soon after halftime.The Palestinians qualified for the Asian Cup by winning the 2014 Challenge Cup, a now-defunct competition for Asias emerging teams. For a squad that drew 17 of the 23 players from the West Bank Premier League, and had difficulties gathering a full-strength team for training camps and friendlies due to travel restrictions and visa issues, the jump in quality was too high.On the road to this tournament, we were familiar with playing against teams of 150-plus in the FIFA ranking, coach Ahmad Al Hassan said. Now we are playing with teams ranked 50 to 60. That gap in the performance of our opponent played an important factor.Just getting to Australia was important for Palestine, for now, to inspire its football community at home. For the 2019 Asian Cup, there will be no Challenge Cup route; the team will have to qualify.Defender Abdallah Jaber believed it was possible. Most of the players were young, he said, adding, They still have a future.Al Hassan hopes they spread back home the lessons they learned.The coach said: This is the beginning and not the end.

The Canucks began the 2013-14 campaign with a disappointing 5-5-3 record as the host before rattling off wins in their last five outings in British Columbia. Vancouver has a good chance at extending its home winning streak on Sunday against a Jets franchise that has had little success in this series. The Canucks are 8-2-1 with a tie in 12 all-time meetings against the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise, although Sundays tilt is only the second encounter between the clubs since the Jets relocated from Atlanta prior to the 2011-12 season. The Canucks boast a 4-1-0 mark with a tie in the six all-time matchups in B.C. Vancouver recently went 1-1-1 on a three-game road trip and was able to salvage a win at Chicago in the finale of the swing on Friday. Daniel Sedin tied the game in the third period and Ryan Kesler scored the decisive goal in the eighth round of the shootout to help the Canucks beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks by a 3-2 score.

Eddie Lack allowed only one goal in the penalty shot tiebreaker after making 24 saves through overtime for the Canucks, who avoided going winless on a three-game road trip. They had opened December with seven consecutive wins before following up a shootout loss at Minnesota with a 4-1 setback in Dallas. "I thought I let the first goal in a little cheap. I wanted to get it back and keep my team in it. We did a great job coming bback from 2-0 and taking it to a shootout.dddddddddddd It was a great game for sure," Lack said. Roberto Luongo expects to get the start in net for the Canucks tonight. He is 11-11-1 with a tie and a 2.77 goals against average in 26 games (23 starts) against the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise. The Jets have won two of their last three tilts after suffering through an 0-2-1 slide from Dec. 10-14. Winnipeg halted the three-game skid with a win Monday in Columbus before falling in Buffalo the following night. However, the Jets were able to get back in the win column on Friday, when it notched a 5-2 home win over the Florida Panthers. Evander Kane, Jacob Trouba and Michael Frolik each had a goal and an assist to help the Jets pick up their first home win in more than a month. The triumph snapped an 0-3-2 home slide for the Jets, who hadnt won at MTS Centre since beating Philadelphia on Nov. 15. The win also came against a red-hot Panthers team that had won a season-high five straight games before getting upended in Winnipeg. Tobias Enstrom and Blake Wheeler added goals to help the Jets. Dustin Byfuglien and Mark Scheifele each contributed a pair of assists to support a 21-save effort from Ondrej Pavelec. "I thought the game was good, it was good to get the win at home," Winnipeg head coach Claude Noel said. "Its been a while since we cleanly got a win (here at MTS Centre)." The Jets have similar records at home and on the road this season, going 8-8-4 at MTS Centre and 8-8-1 everywhere else.
