CALGARY -- With 27 years of CFL coaching experience under his belt, Rich Stubler has plenty of stories to tell. China Jerseys Outlet . And the Calgary Stampeders colourful defensive co-ordinator has no shortage of entertaining material for his meetings with coaches and players. "He has jokes for days about everything," said linebacker Juwan Simpson. "We have to stop him, though, because meetings go a lot longer than theyre supposed to because of stories." Along with that cache of football lore is the experience and expertise that comes from serving on the coaching staffs of, and winning Grey Cups with, four other CFL clubs. Add the high school, college and Arena Football League jobs Stubler has also held and hes been in the profession 45 years. "Hes probably forgotten more football than we all know in our whole defensive meeting room combined," defensive line coach DeVone Claybrooks said. Stubler broke into the CFL as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive co-ordinator 31 years ago. Hes designed defences for 25 years with the Ticats, B.C. Lions, Edmonton Eskimos and Toronto Argonauts. He also served as the Argos head coach in 08. John Hufnagel, Calgarys head coach/GM, hired Stubler this off-season after Rick Campbell left to become the head coach of the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. Stubler arrived following a two-year stint with B.C., whose defence was ranked first overall against the run and pass in 2012. Halfway through the 2014 campaign, Calgary is allowing a league-low 14.9 points per game. In four contests this season, the Stampeders havent surrendered an offensive touchdown. Opposing offences havent found the endzone against Calgary on their last 29 drives and only once in the last 37 possessions. Defensive end Shawn Lemon exuberantly declared Stubler "a genius" following the Stampeders 28-13 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on Labour Day. Calgary (8-1) boasts the CFLs best record heading into its rematch with Edmonton (7-2) at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday. "Stube has brought his style of defence that I knew he would," Hufnagel said. "The players have embraced it and theyre playing it very well. "We still have room for improvement, but they are doing a great job of tackling and thats the key to what Stube likes to do on defence." Stubler says football is much the same now as it was when his father coached. When Stubler arrived in Calgary, his goal was the same as its been with other CFL teams he has been with, which is matching a players strengths and skills with a job and empowering him to do it. "Football is not based on schemes," he said. "You have to be able to adapt everybody thats in your system to be able to maximize what they can do. "If they can take ownership of whats happening, we have a chance to be pretty good. If they cant take ownership, we wont be very good." Stubler, a 65-year-old native of Garfield County, Colo., took over a defence that featured such veteran leaders as Simpson, rush end Charleston Hughes and defensive backs Keon Raymond and Brandon Smith. Rather than impose his years of experience on them, Simpson and Claybrooks say its Stublers light hand and inclusiveness that has galvanized the defence. "He knows a lot of football and you have no choice but to respect a guy who has been around a game this long and been this successful as long as he has," Simpson explains. "One thing he does is allow us players to play football. He plays to the strength of his players, not the strength of his quote-unquote defence. "He allows us to go out and if we want to try something well try it. If it doesnt work, this is why it didnt work. Not only do we believe in him, we believe in ourselves. Were the ones out there running the defence. Hes made that very clear." Claybrooks agrees. "Thats what Stube does a great job with," he said. "He lets his coaches coach and his players play. "Hes not a micromanager." Claybrooks is in his third season as defensive line coach after three seasons patrolling Calgarys defensive line. When the defence gathers for the game-plan meeting, he says nothing is off-limits and creativity is encouraged. "The players make it their own because theyre like Why dont we tweak this and that and do this and that? " Claybrooks said. "A lot of defensive co-ordinators would be like No, this is how the blitz is run. Were going to run it that way. "They are out there running the plays and if it works better for them where theyre comfortable in it and they believe in it, then were a success." Stubler believes he still has another five years of coaching in him. That would take him to age 70 and give him 50 years in the profession. "I started coaching when I was 20 and my dad was a coach before me and thats my identity I guess," he said. Claybrooks interviewed for Calgarys defensive co-ordinators job and had opportunities to go elsewhere this season. But one reason he remained in Calgary was the opportunity to work alongside Stubler. "From a longterm growth of where I want to be in the future, this is the greatest situation because you get to learn from a guy who has been a defensive co-ordinator 27 years in this league and a coach for 40-some years," Claybrooks said. "You think you know everything and he draws up something, and youre like Wow, why didnt I think of that? "Then our favourite saying to him is Thats why they pay you the big bucks.

The New York Rangers centre had a goal and two assists in a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators ending a 13-game goal-scoring drought.CHICAGO - Its been nearly a month since the Raptors surrendered a 27-point lead - their largest collapse in franchise history - in an embarrassing road loss to the Warriors, a loss that surprised nobody. As the schedule flipped from November to December, they would go on to drop five straight, falling six games below the .500 mark before a franchise-altering trade turned them into an unrecognizable team. Now, the Raptors - winners of three straight for the first time this season and eight of their last 11 - are finding ways to win, rather than finding creative and increasingly frustrating ways to lose. The fourth-quarter comeback is becoming something of a nightly tradition, defying everything we thought we knew about the long-suffering franchise. A lot can change in a few weeks and for the Raptors, everything has. "Now when we face adversity we dont get down," said DeMar DeRozan moments after he and his teammates engineered the fourth-quarter comeback that sealed an 85-79 victory in Chicago on New Years Eve. "Before, a lot of the times we would make excuses if something didnt go our way and wed get frustrated. Now everyone just stays level." That level of confidence and self-belief is evident whenever this team has found themselves staring down any late-game adversity, and theyve encountered their fair share of it over the past month. A year ago, the Raptors won three games in which they trailed going into the fourth quarter. This season theyve already won five such contests, four in the last six games, all of them coming on the road. After scoring just 57 points, shooting 37 per cent through three quarter and trailing Chicago by as many as nine, Toronto bested the Bulls 28-17 in the fourth while holding them to 4-of-26 from the field. Naturally its been a wild ride for Dwane Casey, who has been proud of his teams resiliency but hopes this is not a trend theyll be relying on in the New Year. "You have to meet their force with force, if youre serious about winning," said the Raptors coach Tuesday evening. "We did that and we have to continue to do that and Im not going to let up, Im not going to relent from that because thats who we are, its who weve got to be." "I know, to win in this league you have to be a physical, bad-behind team." Calm, cool and collected, the Raptors quickly turned the tables in the fourth. For the first time all night they controlled the tempo and owned the paint, bodying up with the physical Bulls frontline. Again, nobody paanicked and again, they owe a lot of that newfound resilient to their newest teammates. China Jerseys. Reserves Greivis Vasquez, Patrick Patterson and John Salmons - all three acquired from Sacramento in the Rudy Gay trade earlier this month - began the final period on the floor alongside starters DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas. The three newcomers totaled just eight points in the first 36 minutes - the Bulls bench outscoring Torontos reserves 31-12 at the time - but combined to score 19 in the fourth. Vasquez ran the show for the first eight minutes of the quarter before Kyle Lowry finished the game, Patterson had eight points and clamped down on Taj Gibson, while Salmons was rock solid on both ends as usual. All three were crucial to the comeback, one that ignited the teams bench and had every Raptor on their feet supporting their teammates. "Honestly, those guys who started the fourth quarter… those guys won that game for us," said Kyle Lowry, who added 13 points and six minutes himself. "I tip my hat to them." "I think the guys in this locker room believe," he continued. "We believe in each other, we believe in what were trying to do. I think we know we have a chance to do some things and we can take care of business when times are tough. Were showing the team camaraderie and spirit that we have, were all happy for each other." The Raptors players are high on confidence, feeling good about themselves sitting atop a struggling division and closing in on a .500 record as they welcome in 2014. Still, theyre living proof that things, in this league can change in heartbeat. Having already navigated through the toughest early-season schedule of any team in the Eastern Conference, according to Basketball-Reference.com, the month that lays ahead presents yet another challenge. Toronto will play 17 games in 31 days to begin the New Year. Apart from a three-game trip and a three-game home stand at the outset, theyll alternate home and road contests for the remainder of January with two days in between outings only once. In just a couple weeks they have become a feel-good team in the disappointing Eastern Conference but all the progress theyve made can be undone just as quickly as they face a daunting stretch with a couple of games against the Pacers, a visit to Miami and a meeting with the red-hot Wizards. The final month of 2013 has been kind to them but their resolution is simple; stay hungry in 2014. ' ' '
