LONDON, Ont. Josh Ferguson Jersey . -- All eyes were on Nazem Kadri. They were always going to be on Kadri. After signing a two-year contract with the Maple Leafs just before the start of training camp, Kadri responded with scoring Torontos first goal in a 4-3 pre-season win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. "I know I have to go out and play well in each and every game. It will be a long season and quite a grind," said Kadri, who starred in the Ontario Hockey League in the same Budweiser Gardens with the London Knights. Kadri and Mason Raymond each had one goal and an assist while Troy Bodie and Paul Ranger also scored for Toronto. Brayden Schenn and Nick Cousins set the pace for the Flyers with a goal and an assist apiece and Doug Clarkson also scored for Philadelphia, which trailed 3-0 before Clarksons goal. Performing in his hometown, it was Kadri opening the offence as the Leafs scored three in 3:05 to manufacture an early 3-0 advantage. Kadri began a two-on-one rush inside his own blue-line, used a drag move to awkwardly put Philadelphia defenceman Hal Gill out of position then snapped the puck past Steve Mason. "I had almost forgotten what its like to score in this building," said Kadri. Just 56 seconds after Kadri put the Maple Leafs on the scoreboard, Bodie, who split his AHL time between Portland and Norfolk last year and was signed as a free agent by Toronto in July, made it 2-0 by beating Mason in close. Bodie received his pass on the doorstep from 2013 first-round pick Frederik Gauthier. The third Toronto goal displayed the speed of Raymond, who is with the Leafs on a tryout basis after 374 games with the Vancouver Canucks. He scored short-handed on a breakaway after stealing the puck at his own blue-line and out-raced Philadelphias Erik Gustafsson down the right-wing side. "The puck hit his shin on the play," said Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle. "Raymond has the type of speed where its going to be hard for anyone to catch him." Philadelphia would rebound with three consecutive goals, including Clarkson in the first and two more from Schenn and Cousins in the second. After netminder changes by both clubs, Ranger welcomed Anthony Stolarz by converting a rebound on a give-and-go effort by Kadri and David Broll. In 28 minutes of work, Toronto starter Reimer stopped 14 of 17, while counterpart Mason stopped 12 of 15. The Maple Leafs Christopher Gibson didnt allow a goal in 32 minutes and was credited with 13 saves, while Stolarz was beaten in his first minute, but settled down to make 14 saves on 15 shots. Carlyle was quick to point out post-game that there is a large difference between the first exhibition game and the regular NHL pace. "I would give this game an overall average grade. We are trying to establish some of the staples of a hockey system here," he said. "It is interesting to watch how some players separate themselves from the rest of the group. "The NHL plays at another level and you cant make some of the mistakes we did tonight in certain areas of the ice." Six former or current Knights dressed including Kadri, Dave Bolland and Ryan Rupert for Toronto, and Mason, Stolarz and Zac Rinaldo for the Flyers. After winning a Stanley Cup with Chicago earlier this year -- and a Memorial Cup with the Knights in 2005 -- Bolland was traded to Toronto at the June draft table. On Sunday, he started the game alongside current Knight and Leafs draftee Ryan Rupert. "Ryan has been working very hard and doing all the right things," said Bolland. "He is on the right track to a pro hockey career. If he continues to do all the things the Hunters (London coach and president Dale and general manager Mark) say that will also go a long way in helping his career." These two clubs meet again on Monday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto as the Leafs tune-up schedule includes eight games over 14 days before opening the regular season Oct. 1 in Montreal. The Flyers open their official schedule versus Toronto at home on Oct. 2. Marshall Faulk Jersey . Goldeyes third baseman Ryan Pineda drove in three runs and the pitching staff didnt allow an earned run, as Winnipeg downed Kansas City 6-3 in American Association exhibition action at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in Kansas. Matt Slauson Jersey . "Weve given ourselves now a tougher task," said Carlyle after the Friday practice, the Toronto head coach notably chipper and upbeat throughout. "But the bottom line is we just have to win our share of games [and] not worry about what anybody else is doing. http://www.coltsproshopnfl.com/AUTHENTIC-MARSHALL-FAULK-COLTS-JERSEY/ . LOUIS -- The Tampa Bay Rays have placed right-handed pitcher Joel Peralta on the 15-day disabled list with an undisclosed illness.The New York Rangers opened the Eastern Conference Final with a 7-2 win in Montreal, embarrassing the Canadiens on home ice to start the series. Rangers D Ryan McDonagh led the way with a goal and three assists for the Blueshirts and, oh, thats not any kind of sore spot for the Canadiens. Remember, he was a first-round pick of the Canadiens in 2007 who was dealt to the Rangers as part of the deal to get (ahem) Scott Gomez. McDonagh only had three points, total, through the first two rounds, so the first four-point game of his 298-game (regular season and playoffs) career was a great start for the Rangers. In a 7-2 rout, there were plenty of big contributors for the Rangers. The line of Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan and Rick Nash each had one goal and an assist. Yes, Nash scored his first goal in 15 playoff games this year, and Kreider, the rookie power forward was a tough match-up for the Canadiens. Nash and Kreider can be tough matchups if theyre playing well and, for various reasons, havent been major factors through the first couple rounds. Could be big trouble for Montreal if thats going to change now. Martin St. Louis and Derek Stepan each had a goal and an assist and Dominic Moore chipped in a couple of assists, while Mats Zuccarello delivered a goal and two assists. Zuccarello is now the Rangers leading scorer in the playoffs, with 11 points (4 G, 7 A) in 15 games, one ahead of St. Louis and Brad Richhards. Darius Leonard Jersey. Richards scored a goal and registered a game-high 10 shot attempts. The Canadiens were getting outplayed at 5-on-5, but the Rangers also had seven of the games first eight power plays, with Montreal getting a couple of power plays in the last three-and-a-half minutes, long after the outcome was decided. Coming off a series against Boston in which the Canadiens were obviously invested emotionally, they certainly appeared flat in Game One against the Rangers. G Carey Price, who has been great in the playoffs, was pulled between the second and third periods after allowing four goals on 20 shots. Only twice, in 70 (regular season plus playoff) games this season, did Price allow at least four goals with 16 or fewer saves. Though his production was inconsequential, Canadiens C Lars Eller had a goal and an assist and hes the top scoring Montreal forward in the playoffs with five goals and 11 points in a dozen games. One negative for the Rangers was that C Derick Brassard left the game early with an apparent back injury. Hes considered day-to-day. If the Canadiens are to take a positive from this debacle of a game, it is that it only counts as one loss. Forget Game One, come back fresh for Game Two because, really, what other option do they have?
