Adelaide are flying towards the finals after two crushing wins over cellar dwellers Essendon and Brisbane, but there is danger in enjoying a soft run into the finals.Having unleashed their attacking arsenal against the hapless Bombers and Lions to win by 82 and 138 points respectively, the Crows sit third on the ladder, just three percentage points behind Sydney and two games behind the Hawks after their most recent win over North Melbourne.On form, they should comfortably win their final three matches - against Fremantle at Domain Stadium, and the Power and Eagles at Adelaide Oval.Should they win all three, theres every chance this attacking powerhouse can secure a top-two finish or even possibly take home the minor premiership.Adelaides clinical ball use in transition ranks them No.1 for disposals per goal (23.6) and as the most prolific side this year, they also have the best percentage of scores once inside their forward 50 (52.8 percent of the time).Of course it a positive to lock away wins and finish as high as possible with good percentage, and thats exactly what theyve been able to do. But to have too many easy games in the run into the finals may not help their premiership cause.Can you peak too early as a football team?You certainly want to be on edge heading into September. As a team, you have to be so ruthless and then bring your absolute best in both effort and execution in the finals. And thats what Don Pyke has been all about, making sure his team puts the foot on the throat of opponents - as seen by their performances against Essendon and Brisbane in the past fortnight.They also took the opportunity to rest Sam Jacobs and Scott Thompson in recent weeks, which is a good thing; but in terms of managing players, its now even more of a balancing act with the post-Round 23 bye in place this year.Theres no doubt Adelaide are playing sensational football but its the evenness in contribution across the ground which makes them so hard to contend with.Unheralded players such as Rory Atkins, Jarryd Lyons, Mitch McGovern and Jake Lever are just a couple of examples of the many Crows who have improved across the season to help their established stars. Of course theyre deadly up forward with great versatility in their mix of agile bigs and electrifying smalls, which means curbing their influence comes down to pressure and supply.One thing Pyke and his coaches must look out for is training standards. They have to be absolutely ruthless on the track and in reviewing games.When a team has won 10 of the past 11 games like the Crows have, the coaches often take the chance to jump on the little things by drilling into the training standards or any signs of selfishness bobbing up in games. They cannot afford to let their mindset and approach to their football slip in any way because that complacency wont stand up under the intensity of finals football.Itll be a fascinating run to the finals and Im really bullish about Adelaides prospects. The way in which they tackle this softer run will play a big part in what they achieve in the real stuff come September.Dana Barros Jersey .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

After all, he just had built a home near the Canadian capital.This trade wasnt really on the radar for me, at least I didnt hear anything about this, Zibanejad said Tuesday on a conference call.It came as a shock and surprise, but like I said before Im happy for it right now, obviously, and Im really excited to kick off the season there.The 23-year-old Zibanejad gives the Rangers a bigger, younger center than the soon to be 29-year-old Brassard. He also comes at roughly half the price, earning $2.6 million.I feel like I can skate very good for a bigger guy, Zibanejad said. I feel like my shot is getting improved every year. I feel like Im a pretty good all-around solid player. I think obviously as a young player you can always improve in every different aspect of your game. Keep working on the faceoff, keep working on the little details that will help me and the team be successful. I feel like I am solid, all-around.Like Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton, Zibanejad believes he is going to get better. He skated in 81 games with Ottawa with 21 goals andd 30 assists, establishing career highs in games played, goals, assists, game-winning goals (seven), and faceoff win rate (50.dddddddddddd5 percent). He has scored at least 20 goals in each of the past two seasons.The more experience you get, the more and more comfortable you get, Zibanejad said. Its how things work around the league.Since the trade, Zibanejad said several of his new teammates reached out to welcome him.Zibanejad will be joining a team led by fellow Swede, goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.I havent really interacted with him too much on a personal level, Zibanejad said. I just know hes really good friends with (defenseman) Erik Karlsson, one of my closest friends in Ottawa, and he had nothing but good things to say about him, so Im excited.Zibanejad liked his time in Ottawa, where he played his entire career. He is also looking forward to coming to New York.However, it was tough for him to say the trade was going to serve as motivation.Both yes and no, he said. Like I said all my energy goes to proving Ottawa wrong, that they (didnt) keep me, but at the same time I want to prove the Rangers right, that they chose the right guy. Thats how I see it. ' ' '
