The 31-year-old Wiggins had made a bright start to the race, helping his Sky team finish th TORONTO – Mason Raymond doesnt much like talking about himself. "First of all, Im not a guy that [is] going to sit here and blab about myself," Raymond said in conversation with the Leaf Report, asked if he had something to prove this season. "You go and you play hockey. Thats the way it goes. Theres not much more to say than that." Fortunately for the Maple Leafs, his play on the ice has done all the talking. Raymond has 11 goals and 25 points in 37 games this season and is on pace to either match or exceed career-highs in goals, assists, points and ice-time. The 28-year-old has been one of the few bright spots in Toronto this season. Drafted and developed by the Canucks – he was a second round pick in 2005 – Raymond spent his first six NHL seasons in Vancouver. But he went unsigned by the organization this past summer and found himself without a job right up until the eve of training camp, a victim no doubt of the cap crunch in 2013 – which saw the caps upper-limit fall to $64 million. He landed with the Leafs on an unlikely pro tryout and was signed subsequently for a very modest $1 million on a one-year deal. The deal has proven a bargain thus far and his adjustment to Toronto – at least on the ice – has appeared seamless. "Sometimes change is good," said Raymond, who played 374 regular season games with Vancouver. "For me here, [Im] getting different opportunities, playing with some good players and playing minutes. "Id only known one thing – Id only known Vancouver," he continued. "I went from one city to this city; different coach, different players, different systems, different everything, so theres things to adjust to and thats part of being a pro and adjusting to it and learning." Raymond chalks up his exit from the Canucks to business, though he concedes that "youre out to prove that possibly they made a mistake in not signing you". "I was a free agent and they chose not to pursue with me anymore and so be it," he said. "Thats hockey and thats just the way it went." His addition, a strike for speedy depth initially, has been of considerable importance for the Leafs, who have struggled to find their way this season. Be it because of injuries – mostly down the middle – or suspensions, the club has needed every bit of offence it has received from Raymond, who sits third in team scoring, trailing only Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk. Among the more consistent and versatile options in the Toronto lineup, Raymond has not gone more than four games without a point and is tied for second in December scoring after leading the team in November. He is averaging what would be a career-high of more than 18 minutes. With the increased opportunity, Raymond is on pace to best the career year he had in 2009-10. That season, playing mostly alongside Ryan Kesler, he totaled 25 goals and 53 points, numbers hes in line to match or even exceed this season. Is he a better player now? "I like to think I have more experience and have learned from a lot of situations that Ive been through," said Raymond, his recovery from broken vertebrae in his back and a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2011 among the challenges and experiences. "All those things, any person will tell you in any aspect of life, having experience will help you in many situations." Raymond may not like "putting the spotlight" on himself, but the Leafs have to hope his play keeps doing it anyway. Vontaze Burfict Elite Jersey . He says the team is further ahead than it was at the start of 2012, when they finished out of the playoffs with a 6-12 record, tied with Hamilton in the CFL cellar. "Definitely, offensively, were farther ahead than we were at this point last year," he says.

Wiggins, who had been seen as a contender for a podium finish in Paris, was one of about 20 riders caught near the back of the peloton with 38 kilometres to go in the 218-km flat stage from Le Mans to Chateauroux. Wiggins, who was holding his left arm, grimaced in pain after the crash as he walked around in small circles, looking disoriented. Organizers said Wiggins had pulled out several minutes later and he was then taken away in an ambulance. "The team is obviously devastated," Sky team manager Dave Brailsford said after announcing the rider had broken his collarbone. "He was in great shape, he put so much work into this Tour and its just a shame we never got to see him going in the mountains because he was in the best shape of his life. "You know, thats bike racing. Things change very quickly and thats what happened today." The 31-year-old Wiggins had made a bright start to the race, helping his Sky team finish third in Sundays team time trial. He was in sixth place overall heading into stage 7. Wiggins finished fourth in the 2009 Tour, his best ever finish, and had won the pre-Tour Dauphine Libere stage race to further boost his confidence heading into the Tour. Brailsford said several riders suddenly breaking simultaneously caused the crash. "The guys were moving Bradley up, he went into a tail wind," Brailsford said. "Somebody apparently slammed the brakes on, the whole peloton skidded and then powered into the back of him at a great speed.ddddddddddddA lot of guys hit the deck." Sky teammate Geraint Thomas feared the worst. "I just heard it," Thomas said. "It finally came on the radio that he had broken his collarbone and he was out ... really bad day for the team because I was really looking forward to riding for him in the mountains." Sky had emerged unscathed from crashes on Wednesday and last Saturdays opening stage, but the luck ran out on Friday. "It was obviously gutting for the team," Thomas said. "We were lucky until now, we managed to avoid it all." Now Brailsford has to have a rethink and designate a new team leader for the rest of the race. "You just keep on going, thats the whole nature of bike racing," Brailsford said. "You get up, you dust yourself down and you start going after different objectives and goals." Veteran American rider Christopher Horner was also caught as several riders went down in the crash, but the 39-year-old RadioShack rider was able to continue. Sprint ace Tyler Farrar, winner of Mondays third stage, also went down but the Garmin-Cervelo rider seemed unharmed as he clambered back on to his saddle moments later and sped off. The first week of the Tour has seen several crashes, with three-time defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain fortunate to escape with minor cuts and bruises after crashing on Wednesdays fifth stage. "No one ever wants their rivals eliminated because of a crash," said Garmin-Cervelo manager Jonathan Vaughters, Wiggins manager in the 2009 Tour. "Sadly thats just the way the Tour de France works every year." cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys \' \' \'
