SAITAMA, Japan -- Canadians Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje captured silver in ice dance at the world figure skating championships Saturday, missing the gold by a mere 0.02 points. "Im just feeling ecstatic right now," Poje said. "This one moment is because of the combination of all the hard work that weve had, especially over these past couple of years, and showing by our grit and determination that we wanted to be up near the top. I feel that we deserve to be up here now, and its an amazing feeling and we want to have more of it." The dancers from Waterloo, Ont., scored 175.45 to finish second behind European champions Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte of Italy. Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat of France were third with 175.37. Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Unionville, Ont finished eighth with 153.86 points, while Alexandra Paul of Midhurst, Ont., and Mitchell Islam of Barrie, Ont,. were 10th with 148.76 points. Mao Asada of Japan topped the free skate in womens singles to capture her third world title. Asada, who held a slim 1.42-point lead after the short program, under-rotated three jumps but finished with 216.69 points, 9.19 ahead 15-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia of Russia. Italys Carolina Kostner, the 2012 world champion, took the bronze with 203.83 points. Kaetlyn Osmond of Marystown, N.L., was 11th, while Gabrielle Daleman of Newmarket, Ont., was 13th. "It wasnt the performance I wanted to have," Osmond said. "I love this program, I have loved skating it and I really wanted to show it off tonight." Weaver and Poje have skated in the shadow of Canadian world and Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir for several years. But Virtue and Moir, and Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White, gold medallists last month at the Sochi Games, are expected to announce their retirement soon. Neither of the teams competed at the world championships, leaving two spots on the podium up for grabs. "Its an incredible feeling. Im without words," Weaver said. "I cant believe that we performed the free dance today the best we have all year under the pressure of the circumstances of the top teams being so close. Im just so proud of Andrew and I and the work we have done this year and that we just havent given up in our careers and that is what has brought us to this moment." The silver sends the Canadian team home with two medals. Meagan Duhamel of Lively, Ont., and Eric Radford of Balmertown, Ont., won bronze in pairs earlier in the week. Asada, who finished sixth at the Sochi Olympics, also won the world championships in 2008 and 2010 and became the first Japanese three-time champion. Skating to Sergei Rachmaninovs "Piano Concerto No. 2," Asada opened with her trademark triple Axel but under-rotated that one as well as a triple flip and double loop, but she earned high style points after impressing the judges. "I was able to control myself and I have done what I had to do," Asada said. "I was much more nervous than I was for the short program but the cheering from the fans was with me and made me relax." Yuna Kim, the defending champion, has retired and Olympic gold medallist Adelina Sotnikova of Russia wasnt competing at the worlds. Tennessee Titans Jerseys Outlet .

Ryan Getzlaf, Tim Jackman and Ryan Kesler also scored as Anaheim (31-10-6) opened a three-point lead on Nashville atop the overall standings entering the break.Tonight was a night we really wanted, Lovejoy said. We felt we had to rise to the occasion. We wanted a happy four days (off).For some reason, the Ducks have had nothing but happy days against the Flames in Anaheim lately: Calgary hasnt won at Honda Center since Jan. 19, 2004, and has just one victory in Orange County in this century. The Flames were essentially finished early in the latest chapter, falling behind 4-0 and never catching up.It is nice being on the winning side after being on the losing side of that for a long time, said Jackman, who spent parts of four seasons with Calgary before getting traded to Anaheim last season. Its a tough building to play in, and hopefully we can continue to have an edge here.Mikael Backlund, Sean Monahan and Joe Colborne scored as the Flames four-game winning streak ended in the finale of a five-game Pacific Division trip.Calgary rookie Joni Ortio yielded four goals on 11 shots before getting yanked midway through the second period. Ortio came up from the minors before this trip and promptly won four straight games before flopping in the finale, allowing Jonas Hiller to finish against his longtime Anaheim teammates.We had some bad mental mistakes early, some breakdowns, and they made uus pay, Calgary captain Mark Giordano said.dddddddddddd Thats why theyre in first place. They make you pay when they get their chances. ... We sort of waited for bad things to happen, and they happened. They got a couple of pucks to the net and some good bounces.Calgarys losing streak in Anaheim is tied for the fourth-longest in a two-team series in NHL history. The Flames five-game, road-winning streak also ended, but Giordano doesnt blame the Anaheim streak.I dont think so, because theres been so much turnover with players on our team, Giordano said. Its just that theyre a great team. They had a great run last year at home where they didnt lose for a long time, and this year again their record speaks for itself.After Palmieri put Anaheim ahead in the opening minutes off a sharp pass from Matt Beleskey, Maroon tipped home Lovejoys shot for his second goal in three games.Two minutes later, Lovejoys long shot appeared to deflect off Kris Russell on the way past Ortio for the low-scoring defencemans first goal of the season.It was great execution by them, and they were good enough to get their sticks on those pucks going to the net, Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. Theres not much more we could have done.Shortly after Jackmans goal chased Ortio midway through the second period, Backlund scored on a loose puck in the slot.Getzlaf and fellow All-Star Giordano had to be separated after Getzlaf tripped over Giordanos outstretched leg in the second period, falling on his head. Getzlaf scored his 15th goal in the slot moments later.Kesler added an empty-netter in the final minute.NOTES: Anaheim D Clayton Stoner was a late scratch with a lower-body injury. Colby Robak played for the first time since Dec. 19, earning his first point in a Ducks uniform on Getzlafs goal. ... Maroon and Lovejoy scored against the Flames for the first time in their respective careers. ... Lovejoy hadnt recorded two points in one period since Jan. 3, 2014, when he scored two goals in three minutes against Edmonton.
