TORONTO -- One of the fastest minutes in hockey history starts with Connor McDavid picking up the puck in his own zone, maybe 15 feet behind his blue line, 17 seconds into the first period. Freeze him in that moment, and he is hockey and youth and everything they might become: already in full stride, head up, brimming with possibility.He narrows the ice between his right skate and the boards in front of Team North Americas bench and leaves Swedens iconic Daniel Sedin, closing in from center ice, an ocean behind.Had a lot of speed, McDavid says.Two seconds after he first touched the puck, the 19-year-old blurs past Henrik Sedin, who waves his stick in McDavids general direction like an old man trying to push a cat away with a broom.Its tough when youre standing still, and the guy comes 200 miles per hour at you, Sedin says.I just tried to get to the middle as fast as I could, McDavid says.One second later, McDavid splits Anton Stralman and Victor Hedman, arguably the best defensive pairing in the world. Was fortunate to kind of break through there, he says. He fights to keep his balance and does. Four seconds after his first touch, having skated over four Swedes and about 140 feet of ice, he nearly beats Henrik Lundqvist through his pads.A good play, he says. I guess.Auston Matthews, who just turned 19, picks up the rebound. He stick handles while on his knees before finding his blades and sliding the puck across to Morgan Rielly, 22. Lundqvist stops Riellys slap shot with his right pad, but the puck goes straight to Matthews, his stick waiting on the ice.He tucks the puck inside the wide-open net.A good start, Matthews says.Thirty seconds into the game, Team North America celebrates, with the normally reserved Matthews pumping both his fists. The song the players asked to hear after every one of their goals, Chiddy Bangs Opposite of Adults, rips out of the Air Canada Centres loudspeakers.It is the perfect song, defiant and joyous.Tell Mommy Im sorry / This life is a party / Im never growing up.Fans are still settling into their seats when the play restarts. The Swedes get the puck into the North American zone, but the kids, like life, come at them fast. Seth Jones, 21, sweeps a backhanded pass straight up the middle to a streaking Johnny Gaudreau, one of his teams elder statesmen at 23. He has a step on Erik Karlsson, who has to reach his left arm around Gaudreau to prevent the clean breakaway.Fifty-six seconds into the game: penalty shot.Gaudreau makes a slow approach to the net, with Lundqvist cutting off the angle. Gaudreau shoots it high and wide. Experience defuses the rush, but the respite is brief.Off the ensuing faceoff, Oliver Ekman-Larsson has the puck in his own zone. He is set upon by a pair of forechecking North Americans, first Vincent Trocheck, 23, and next Jonathan Drouin, 21. Trocheck steals the puck and slips it to 19-year-old Jack Eichel, who is alone in the middle.It has been exactly one minute since McDavid scored.Eichel flicks the puck back to Shayne Gostisbehere, 23, who looks as though hes winding up for a vicious slap shot. Instead, he smacks the puck back to Trocheck, a stirring, rare combination of force and deception.Trocheck stick handles once, comes across the front of the Swedish goal and backhands the puck past a sprawling Lundqvist: 2-0.Unbelievable, Sedin says.Weve turned some heads, McDavid says.Thirty-nine seconds after Gaudreaus penalty shot, 65 seconds after Matthews goal, one minute and 35 seconds after the opening whistle, Opposite of Adults shakes the building for the second time. The happiest kind of electricity runs through the place. It has been a long time since hockey has felt so hopeful.Hey yo, I was once a kid with the other little kids / Now Im ripping up shows, and them fans going wild with us / Tell Mommy Im sorry / This life is a party.Please dont ever grow up.

Pace is playing a key role in how the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns are performing on offense.Heading into Saturday game in Phoenix, the Nets and Suns own among the quickest paces in the league.The Nets are averaging 103.50 possessions per game through their first eight games in new coach Kenny Atkinsons motion offense. The Suns have averaged 104.37 possessions through their first nine games.En route to losing a combined 61 games under coaches Lionel Hollins and Tony Brown last season, the Nets were 21st in pace at 97.37 possessions per game. Last year, the Suns lost 59 games and averaged 100.9 possessions, which placed them fourth.It is what teams do with those possessions that ultimately leads to wins.While the Nets are playing at a high pace, it is other categories in which they are inconsistent. Brooklyn is attempting nearly 34 3-pointers per game but is only making 31.7 percent of those shots.The difference can be explained in their five losses. In defeats, the Nets are shooting 28.6 percent (51-of-178) from behind the arc as opposed to 37.6 percent (35-of-93) in wins.In Wednesdays 110-96 loss at the New York Knicks, the Nets were 11 of 33 from 3-point range. Brooklyn held a 67-56 lead after a 3-pointer by Justin Hamilton with 6:16 left but missed 12 of its last 15 attempts from the arc and was outscored 54-29 the rest of the way.They did a great job pressuring us and we went away from what we know, Nets guard Sean Kilpatrick said. We let them speed us up a little bit. We didnt share the ball like weve been.Part of the problem was not having an experienced point guard and a lack of depth at the position.Jeremy Lin missed the last three and a half games after straining his left hamstring in the first half against Detroit on Nov. 2, and will not be re-evaluated until next week. Isaiah Whitehead hhas shown some glimpses but did not play Wednesday due to a concussion, and his return will not take place until he completes the leagues concussion protocol.ddddddddddddIt seems like every night its a different point guard and some guys have to play out of position, Brooklyn forward Trevor Booker said. So its tough. At the same time, we have to keep the ball moving and play together.When the Nets reach Phoenix, they will face a team coming off an effective defensive showing down the stretch. The Suns are allowing 113 points per game but won for the third time in five games following a 0-4 start by holding the Detroit Pistons to 13 points in the final 9:20 of a 107-100 victory Wednesday.The win was even more notable since the Suns played a grueling overtime loss Tuesday in Portland and did not land in Phoenix until 3 a.m.Eric Bledsoe came through in the fourth with 14 of his 21 points to go along with 11 rebounds and eight assists.Weve been losing these close games, so its nice to get one, especially at home, Phoenix reserve forward Jared Dudley said.Dudley is correct. The average margin of Phoenixs last five games has been five points after the Suns dropped their first four contests by a combined 46 points.Center Tyson Chandler missed the last two games following the death of his mother and may not play Saturday. Chandler is averaging 13.4 rebounds, 7.4 points on 67.7 percent shooting in seven games.On Wednesday, Alex Len capably filled in for Chandler by collecting 16 points and 14 rebounds.The Nets have won seven of the last nine meetings. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 24 points in Brooklyns 116-106 win in Phoenix on Feb. 25 and Brooklyn recorded a three-point home win Dec. 1. ' ' '
