OTTAWA -- A majority of Canadians equate mens hockey gold with success at next months Sochi Olympics, a new poll suggests. Seventy-three per cent of those surveyed in the Harris-Decima poll, which was provided to The Canadian Press, said Canada winning gold in mens hockey is "important in determining the success of the Games." But even more say they view avoiding security threats as the most important measure of whether the Sochi Olympics are a success. In total, 83 per cent said it was very or somewhat important that there be no security threats. That is a slightly smaller number than the 88 per cent who said in a survey prior to the 2010 Olympics that it was very or somewhat important that there be no security threats in Vancouver. Nationally, 58 per cent of those polled suggested they would follow the Sochi Olympics very or somewhat closely, also down from those polled prior to the Vancouver Games. And just over half those polled suggested theyd be paying less attention to these Games than they did to the Vancouver Olympics. "We saw an amazing degree of national enthusiasm for the Games we hosted in Vancouver and we shouldnt expect Canadians to get quite that engaged for any other Winter Olympics," said Harris-Decima vice-president Megan Tam. "That being said, a majority of Canadians anticipate following the Games in Sochi and there is clearly some sense of national competitiveness demonstrated with the attitudes expressed about the importance of winning certain gold medals or even the most overall again." B.C. residents were the most likely to say they would be paying a lot less attention to Sochi. Mens hockey gold wasnt the only big item on the list of those who will be following the Olympics. A gold by the Canadian womens hockey team was also picked by 71 per cent as important in gauging success. And 70 per cent said they felt it was important there be no organizational problems that could give the Olympics a black eye on the world stage. Canadas overall standing was also important with 63 per cent saying its important Canada finish in the top three in the medal count, and 58 per cent suggesting Canada winning more medals than any other would be important in their determination of the success of the Olympics. The telephone survey of 1,015 Canadians was done between Jan. 9 and Jan. 13. The survey is considered accurate to a margin of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The Lightning netted 20 goals during a 4-0-0 homestand, capping the residency with a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames. It was a special night for forward Cedric Paquette, who scored his first two NHL goals. Paquette appeared in his seventh career game as he was recalled from the American Hockey League on Wednesday following an upper-body injury to Alex Killorn. He opened the scoring 9:55 into the game and added his second goal just over a minute into the second frame. I knew I was able to score at this level, Paquette said. Brian Boyle, Tyler Johnson and Valtteri Filppula also scored and Ben Bishop made 29 saves in the win, Tampa Bays sixth in seven games. It hasnt won five straight since March 13-20. The Lightning will play the second contest of a three-game road trip on Sunday in Detroit, so it is unknown if Bishop or backup Evgeni Nabokov will start tonight. Nabokov has excellent career numbers in this matchup, going 20-5-3 with a 1.79 goals against average, .932 save percentage and four shutouts in 29 meetings. Bishop, meanwhile, is 1-1-0 against Columbus wiith a 1.dddddddddddd06 GAA and .951 save percentage in two games with one start. Though Tampa Bay has won four of its past six versus the Blue Jackets, it has only two victories and one tie in eight all-time trips to Columbus. The Blue Jackets, though, have not been able to win at home or on the road as of late. They dropped a 3-2 decision in overtime last night to the Carolina Hurricanes for their seventh loss in a row. Each of the previous six setbacks had come in regulation. Carolina got the winner with 38 seconds left in overtime on the power play as David Savard took a holding penalty. That gave the Hurricanes their seventh chance on the man advantage in the game. We cant keep doing this to ourselves, said Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards of the penalty. Its not a good recipe as far as winning hockey games. Scott Hartnell had both goals for the Blue Jackets, while Curtis McElhinney made 32 saves in the loss. Another loss for the Blue Jackets tonight would give the club its worst skid since it began the 2011-12 season 0-7-1. With No. 1 netminder Sergei Bobrovsky still out with a fractured finger, Anton Forsberg could make his second career start tonight. He gave up three goals on 29 shots in a loss to New Jersey last Saturday. ' ' '
