BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The overhaul is continuing in Buffalo after Sabres coach Ted Nolan purged most of his staff of assistants on Wednesday. Goalie coach Jim Corsi will not return, and assistant Teppo Numminens contract will not be renewed, the Sabres announced. Two other assistants, Joe Sacco and Jerry Forton, have a choice to stay with the Sabres after being offered jobs within the teams hockey department. The moves came three days after the Sabres (21-51-10) finished last in the standings, and closed one the worst and most tumultuous seasons in their 44-year history. The shake-up doesnt come as a surprise. Nolan inherited the staff in November, after being hired on an interim basis to replace Ron Rolston. Nolan has since been signed to a three-year contract and it was widely anticipated that he would begin hiring his own staff this off-season. Former NHL goalie Arturs Irbe is regarded a potential candidate to join Nolans staff. Irbe is from Latvia and has previously worked with Nolan, who has spent the past three years coaching the countrys national team. Corsi was the Sabres longest tenured assistant after completing his 16th season in Buffalo. He played a role in mentoring former Sabres great Dominik Hasek and then Ryan Miller, who was traded to St. Louis on Feb. 28. Numminen, a former NHL defenceman, completed his third season in Buffalo after being first hired by former Sabres coach Lindy Ruff. Sacco, the former Colorado Avalanche head coach, and Forton were hired by Rolston last off-season. In the meantime, Sacco will be working as an assistant under United States coach Peter Laviolette at the World Hockey championships in Belarus next month. The Sabres also announced theyre adding a second minor-league affiliate after reaching a deal with Elmira (N.Y.) of the ECHL. Elmira will complement the Sabres top affiliate, AHL Rochester. Both minor-league teams are located within 150 miles of Buffalo. Buffalo is in the midst of rebuilding from scratch. Through a series of trades, the Sabres have stockpiled a significant number of draft picks spread over the next three years, spurring the teams need to add another affiliate.

It wont be easy with a sellout crowd of vocal supporters expected to cheer the French sides every move on Wednesday at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris. Canadian head coach Francois Ratier doesnt expect his players to be intimidated by the surroundings in the semifinal matchup. In fact, he feels it will actually give his squad an advantage. "For me, its a challenge for the French, not for us," he said Tuesday from the Paris suburb of Marcoussis. "Because they play in front of their crowd, in front of 20,000 people, and the pressure is on them, not on us. So for us its clear. We know that were going to play against an entire country but its a source of motivation. "We are not afraid at all." Canada (2-0-1) has looked strong at the 12-team tournament with a 31-5 victory over Spain on Aug. 1 and a 42-7 rout of Samoa on Aug. 5. Canada secured a semifinal berth with a 13-13 tie against England -- the 2010 finalist and a three-time runner-up -- last Saturday. France (3-0), meanwhile, has not conceded a single try so far, outscoring Wales, South Africa and Australia by a combined score of 98-6. Canada and France split a two-game series last fall. France took the opener 27-19 on Nov. 2 while Canada beat the host side 11-6 four days laater.dddddddddddd The winner of Wednesdays game will face either Ireland or England in Sundays final. "This game is a fantastic opportunity for us to show the world that we belong here in the semifinals of the World Cup and in the finals, and our goal is the play our game and enjoy the experience," Ratier said. Canada is 9-5-1 under Ratier, a former French top division player, who took over the Canadian program in March 2013. He has his side playing disciplined rugby with a team-first mentality. There will be a new champion at this years tournament. The England-Canada draw left four-time defending champions New Zealand out of the semifinal picture. It was the first time the Black Ferns have failed to reach the final four in tournament history. Canadas best result at this event is a fourth-place finish, achieved in 1998, 2002 and 2006. The team was a disappointing sixth in 2010. Magali Harvey of Quebec City has three tries in the tournament and leads the Canadian team with 39 points, behind only Englands Emily Scarratts 43. There will be one change to the Canadian lineup as Brittany Waters of Vancouver will replace Jessica Dovanne of Victoria on the wing. Canadian captain Kelly Russell said her teammates are "gritty, fierce and ready to go." "We believe in what were doing and how were playing," she said. "We want it."

Michael Geigers extra point gave the Spartans their first lead since they led 14-7 in the first quarter. Baylor had 17 seconds to get back into field goal range to win the game, but Petty was sacked on first and second down, burning 10 seconds of clock and two of Baylors timeouts. On third down, Riley Bullough jumped in front of a short pass to intercept Petty and end the game. On the third play from scrimmage to start the game, it was Michigan States offense jumping out to a great start, not Baylors notorious quick-strike attack. Langford ran 65 yards untouched until he was finally hauled down at the Baylor 1-yard line. After two unsuccessful attempts to cross the goal- line, the Spartans went back to Langford for a 2-yard score to go up 7-0 after one possession. Baylors fast-paced offense did not take long to respond. Levi Norwood appeared to lose a fumble after an 11-yard catch, but it was shown his knee was down before he lost the ball. On the next play, Petty connected with Cannon for a 49-yard score to even the game. R.J. Shelton returned the ensuing kickoff to the MSU 40 to set up the Spartans with good field position. Cooks 24-yard pass on first down started the drive, and Shelton finished it with an 11-yard run to put Michigan State back on top. Each defense then forced a three-and-out. The Spartans caused Petty to throw three incompletions, and Shawn Oakman sacked Cook on 3rd-and-12 the following drive to send the MSU offense back to the sideline. The Bears got their offense back on track next time out with a trick play. Petty threw a backward pass to receiver Jay Lee, and Lee then hit Coleman in stride for a 53-yard tying touchdown. Michigan State moved into field goal range on its following possession, but Cooks fumble cost them six yards on 3rd-and-10. The Spartans lined up for the 50-yard field goal attempt but instead of kicking, the kicker Geiger took a pitch from the holder and was tackled four yards short of the line to gain. Spartans mistakes aided Baylor on a possession that put the Bears back in front. On 4th-and-3, a holding penalty on Mylan Hicks extended the drive, and a roughing the pass on Malik McDowell the following play moved Baylor even closer. Goodley was stopped at the 1-yard line on second down, but Petty was able to sneak it into the end zone the following play. Baylors next possession stalled deep in the red zone after an illegal man downfield penalty, and the Bears had to settle for a 25-yard field goal from Callahan to move ahead 24-14. Michigan State was looking for another score to end the half but could not come through. On 4th-and-2 at the Baylor 37-yard line, Cook was under pressure and threw a wild pass toward Langford that fell incomplete. Baylor was unable to move the ball with 16 seconds remaining in the first half and went to the locker room with a 24-14 lead.
