OTTAWA -- Claude Giroux playfully punched Sidney Crosby on the shoulder between drills Tuesday, producing a smile from the Team Canada captain.Was it just four years ago these two guys dropped the gloves in a playoff game?Go around Team Canadas dressing room and youll find a long list of personal rivalries that have been put on hold for the World Cup of Hockey.Or you might say, the hatred has been temporarily shelved for a month.Its pretty easy, Crosby said Tuesday after Day 2 of camp. Thats just the nature of competing and playing against one another. As soon as you put on that jersey, youre on the same team and youre all trying to accomplish the same thing. Its pretty easy. We played world championships last year and had a great experience there. Hes a great player so, yeah, its fun to play with him.Some events are rather fresh. It was just over two months ago in the Stanley Cup finals between the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins that Logan Couture called Crosby a cheater on faceoffs.Theyve buried that hatchet on that one already.He said, No hard feelings. He understood what we were fighting for, we were down 2-0 in the series, Couture said, smiling, on Tuesday.And what of Corey Perry and Shea Weber? There was a certain forearm shiver that pancaked Perry into the ice in Game 5 of the Anaheim Ducks-Nashville Predators playoff series.I havent talked to him about the hit yet thats all over TV, Perry said with a smile Tuesday. But hell hear about it.And definitely no hard feelings, either, despite a massively physical series between those two star players, Weber trying his best to make sure Perry didnt get to make his normal living in the crease.Weve played together for a long time in different situations and different competitions. Hes a great guy off the ice, Perry said. Were always friends. But on the ice were two competitors and we both dont want to lose.Added Weber: Theres a lot of guys here that play against each other and play against each other a lot. You got to put those things aside. At the same time, a lot of us are friends. Weve played on teams together for a long time. But especially in the playoffs, teams want to win. Hes going to do everything he can to beat me and Im going to do the same against him. At the end of the day, were still going to be friends.Perhaps there is no greater example of putting your country first than the intense rivalry between the Sharks and?Los Angeles Kings. There are four Sharks and two Kings on Team Canada and their last two playoff series left wounds, to be sure.When you play each other in the playoffs, and one of us is crushing the other teams dream of winning a Stanley Cup, youre going to create a rivalry pretty quick, Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said. Obviously, we played each other so many times in the season trying to battle for first place. Were both very good teams. We play a physical brand of style. Thats going to create battles and hatred for each other. But I respect all four of those guys on this team, theyre all awesome players and Im so happy to get to play with all of them.Add in the Ducks equation in that California triangle of hate and you also have Perry and Ryan Getzlaf on Team Canada. Getzlaf and Joe Thornton famously dropped the gloves during a 2009 playoff series.Its very intense, Thornton said Tuesday of the California hockey rivalries. But theyre all super guys. I see Drew in the summer with golfing and things like that. Ive played with Pears and Getz before. So nothing really changes.So intense again was the Kings-Sharks series, San Jose getting revenge this spring on L.A., that Doughty after the season told Los Angeles media not to overstate his friendship with Couture. a fellow native of London, Ontario.Heat of the moment, Doughty now admits.When we come here, we put that stuff aside, Doughty said when asked about Couture. We never even had to talk about it. Its just gone. Were back to being on the same team like when we were kids, trying to win hockey games together.And yes, theyve seen each other this summer in London.Weve been skating together for a while, Couture said.So, just to be clear, theyre friends, right?Yeah, were friends. Ask him, I think we are, said Couture, chuckling.Crosby and Giroux, despite having the same agent, Pat Brisson of CAA Sports, never really crossed paths off the ice before finally playing together at the 2015 world championships, winning gold in Prague. They got to know each other there and theres a clear sense of respect and admiration there.We enjoy the challenge of playing against each other but we also enjoying paying together, too, Giroux said in French on Tuesday.[Before playing at the worlds], we only knew each other on the ice, and didnt like each other too much, Giroux added with a chuckle. But it made those games fun when you have a rivalry like that with a player. Obviously, off the ice hes a great guy.As Crosby noted, he loves the fact that rugby players will share a beer after an intense match. Team Canadas players have had a few bonding nights here together in Ottawa, putting aside those NHL battles for love of country.Once youre here, youre all buddies, and then once the months done, youre enemies again, Thornton said, laughing.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- After two years of close calls and dashing dreams against Kansas, the TCU Horned Frogs found themselves in another tight game with the Jayhawks.In the 2014 and 2015 matchups between the two conference foes, the games were decided by 10 points combined.The pattern continued Saturday when TCU (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) outlasted Kansas 24-23.KU has always played us hard, TCU coach Gary Patterson said. ... Im going to do a better job of changing my signals. I thought (defensive coordinator) Coach (Clint) Bowen and the defensive group did a great job. Its been three years hes done a good job on us.One of the things different this time was that TCU wasnt ranked.Kenny Hill completed 17 of 32 passes for 206 yards with one touchdown pass and one rushing score to help TCU squeak out its fourth win of the season.Kansas took a 23-14 lead late in the third quarter on Ryan Willis 21-yard run. But TCU answered early in the fourth.On third-and-12 in its own territory, Hill scrambled and fumbled, but he picked it up and darted around the field for a gain of 34 yards. A facemask penalty added 15 extra yards to put TCU in scoring position.Fortunately for us, we had one of those plays last week against us, Patterson said. Usually, if you win those plays, a lot of times you have the chance to win the ballgame.Two plays later, Hill connected with Jaelan Austin for the touchdown to put the Horned Frogs within 23-21.Kansas had two good scoring chances in the fourth quarter, but went wide right and wide left on two field-goal opportunities.With under four minutes remaining, TCU pieced together a 59-yard drive to tack on a field goal to take the lead at 24-23.ddddddddddddKansas had 81 seconds to make something happen.Willis was sacked on back-to-back plays to put Kansas in a tough spot at third-and-23 on the Kansas 30-yard line. Willis avoided getting sacked for a third straight down and ran the ball out of bounds. On fourth down, Willis threw the ball to Sims, who lateraled it to Bobby Hartzog. Kansas had the first down and was in TCU territory.But Matthew Wyman missed a 54-yard field goal.Sometimes things dont fall your way and you gotta bounce back, Willis said.After losing three games to TCU over the past three seasons by a combined 11 points, itd be easy for minds to wander.Theres a lot of `ifs and `buts but those dont matter, Kansas coach David Beaty said. We have to go to school before next week with more Big 12 play.Kyle Hicks carried the ball 18 times for 104 yards and one touchdown for TCU. Hill threw three interceptions.Willis was 31 of 45 for 348 yards with three interceptions for Kansas, LaQuvionte Gonzalez had 131 yards receiving and Steven Sims added 101 yards receiving.STAT LINESKANSAS: Under Beaty, the Jayhawks are 1-16 and are still awaiting their first conference victory.TCU: The Horned Frogs have scored in 299 consecutive games, the second-longest current streak in the nation, dating to Nov. 16, 1991.TAKEAWAYSTCU: Hills three picks tied a career high.KANSAS: The Jayhawks have 17 turnovers through five games.UP NEXTTCU: After a bye week, the Horned Frogs play at West Virginia on Oct. 22.Kansas: Plays at Baylor next Saturday.
