Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has revealed a childrens book was one of the driving forces behind the Dogs inspired run to the 2016 AFL premiership.The book, Salty Dog, was given to Beveridge by football chief Graham Lowe at the start of a season that culminated in the Bulldogs first premiership since 1954.I was reading through this book and ... its about confronting your fears, Beveridge told Fox Footys On The Couch.As I read each page it was quite simple, its like a childrens book, but it had really powerful messages in there.So we had 100 copies printed and had our logo printed on the back ... and we gave each player a book. We talked about the content and to our players credit they confronted their fears.All year, every time there was a trial or a tribulation, they met it head on.So powerful was the message, along with other themes that Beveridge declined to divulge, that by the time the Dogs reached the grand final they had already conquered their fears.In the end, part of going into the grand final was bringing it back to what theyd already done, Beveridge said of a season in which his club confronted a horror run with injuries.And on the last page it says Run towards the fire and they were basically in the fire.Theyd met all of their challenges head on, the grand final was as hot as it was going to get and they were ready for it.Most associated with the Dogs have been reluctant to declare the grand final win over Sydney the start of a dynasty.But Beveridge is already focused on making sure Bulldogs fans dont have to wait another 62 years to see their team lift the cup.Were definitely not in a space to think that were the best (team) even though weve just won the grand final, he said of his team that finished the home-and-away season seventh with 15 wins.Theres still plenty of work to do so it will take a concerted effort by everyone to make sure that we keep our feet on the ground.When our players go away on holiday they need to make sure they keep themselves in good order - thats their big test.

Paul LaDue Kings Jersey . PAUL, Minn. VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- After three straight comeback victories, the surprising Vancouver Canucks showed they can also protect a lead.Jacob Markstrom made 26 saves and Daniel Sedin scored the game-winner in the third period Thursday night as Vancouver downed the Buffalo Sabres 2-1, a victory that left the Canucks as the NHLs only undefeated team on the young season.Just coming back in games, that was huge early, Sedin said. Those first two, three games where we came back from behind, thats when you realize you can play your system. Keep playing your system, even when youre down 3-0, its going to pay off.Thats calmed everyone down and made everyone really believe we can do it.Not expected to do much this season after missing the playoffs two of the last three years, the Canucks (4-0-0) scored a shootout win followed by consecutive overtime victories despite trailing through two periods in each game to become the first team in league history to win its first three outings while never holding a regulation lead in any of those games.Thursdays formula was a little different, but the result turned out the same.We dont want to be coming from behind in the third period in every single game, said Jannik Hansen, who scored the 100th goal of his career to open the scoring. Its not something you can do over a long stretch.Brandon Sutter added two assists as Vancouver won for the fourth time in six nights, tying a franchise mark set in 1992-93 for victories to start a season.We talked before the game, you cant get down by a goal or two and wake up, Sutter said. We wanted to come out and get that first one and we did. We probably didnt play as good as we wanted to in the second half, but we will take the points.Nicholas Baptiste scored his first NHL goal in his second game for the Sabres (1-2-1), who got 18 saves from Robin Lehner.Its obviously exciting for me, but we didnt get the win and thats unfortunate, Baptiste said. Im happy to get that first one.The Canucks led 1-0 through two periods and stretched that lead to two at 9:10 of the third when their power play -- 0 for 12 up to that point this season -- finally connected. Lehner robbedd Sutter at the side of the net, but Loui Eriksson fed a nice pass to Sedin, who buried his second.ddddddddddddt was good to get one, Sedin said. I think everyones going to relax a little bit and start moving the puck better.The Sabres penalty kill had gone a perfect 11 for 11 before Vancouver struck.It may be my fault, Buffalo coach Dan Bylsma said. I happened to see the number before going out for the third period. They were at zero and we were at 100 percent and they get the power-play goal. I regret that a little bit.But the Sabres kept coming, and after Ryan OReilly had a great chance that Alexander Edler swept off the goal line, Baptiste scored a strange one. The rookie forward threw the puck in front and it struck Vancouvers Jack Skille as he battled with Nicolas Deslauriers. The puck caromed toward Markstroms net, off Edlers stick and in at 11:23.The Sabres had a couple of looks from there, but a late penalty for too many men on the ice took the wind out of their sails before the Canucks held on with Lehner on the bench for an extra attacker.Markstrom, 3-0-0 this season, made his second straight start in place of Ryan Miller, who served as the backup after sitting out last game with general tightness.I love every second out there, Markstrom said. When stuff like this happens you have to be ready to come in and play.Vancouver was just 3-30-1 when trailing after 40 minutes last season, and each victory in 2016-17 before Thursday came after the club trailed through two periods. The Canucks didnt require a comeback Thursday after Hansen scored at 11:10 of the second, the Canucks first lead in 218:22 this season.Game notes The Sabres were once again without injured Fs Jack Eichel (ankle) and Evander Kane (ribs) as they wrapped up a three-game road trip through western Canada that also included a 6-2 win over Edmonton and a 4-3 overtime loss in Calgary.UP NEXT:Sabres: are off until Tuesday, when they visit Philadelphia.Canucks: will hit the road for the first time this season on Saturday in Los Angeles.
