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.

Spurs will be desperate to maintain the pressure on leaders Leicester and put a dent in Uniteds top-four hopes in the process when the two sides meet at White Hart Lane, live on Sky Sports 1 HD at 4pm.With Mauricio Pochettinos second-placed side heading into the clash nine points clear of their visitors, albeit having played a game more than United, Le Tiss has unsurprisingly gone with a Spurs majority. Le Tiss predicts... Find out what Le Tiss is tipping up at 20/1 for Tottenham v Man Utd here. Heres a look at his XI... GOALKEEPER: David de Gea - Both sides have top-quality goalkeepers but for me De Gea is the best in the league. Theyd be nowhere near the top four if hed joined Real Madrid in the summer.RIGHT-BACK: Kyle Walker - Spurs full-backs could well both be playing for England this summer and Walkers pace will be important against Anthony Martial.CENTRE-BACK: Chris Smalling - Im going with him ahead of Jan Vertonghen. I must admit I wasnt sure he had it in him but hes one of the most improved players in the Premier League this season.CENTRE-BACK: Toby Alderweireld - Hes quite possibly been the best defender in the Premier League this season and I was very disappointed when Southampton failed to sign him permanently. Toby Alderweireld: Among the Premier Leagues best defenders? LEFT-BACK: Danny Rose - Hes probably edged ahead of Ryan Bertrand in the England pecking order now and he goes into my team, as much because of the threat he offers going forward as his defensive work.CENTRAL-MIDFIELD: Eric Dier - The lad has made this position his own for cllub and country and youve got to hand it to Pochettino for spotting he had the right attributes for the role.dddddddddddd.CENTRAL-MIDFIELD: Mousa Dembele - Hes a very underrated player and tends to go under the radar but he controls games with his power and quality on the ball. Anthony Martial is Man Utds top scorer with eight goals ATTACKING-MIDFIELD: Anthony Martial - It has been difficult for him starting in a central role and scoring goals then being moved out of position. Its taken him a while to adapt to that position but hes clearly an exciting player.ATTACKING-MIDFIELD: Dele Alli - Hes one of the most exciting young players in the world right now and looks an absolute banker to be starting for England at the Euros.ATTACKING-MIDFIELD: Christian Eriksen - It was Eriksen and Harry Kane carrying Spurs last season and his contributions have perhaps been overlooked a bit because of the emergence of others, but hes still a very important player, with 11 assists and six goals this season. Harry Kane can develop into a world-class striker, says Le Tiss STRIKER: Harry Kane - Hes another one that has cemented his starting berth for England and its now up for him to prove on a European stage, both for club and country, that he is a world class striker. For me theres no reason why he cant do that. Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side Find out who Le Tiss and Charlie are picking in their Fantasy Six-a-Side teams here.
