Ian Holloway previews a busy Football League fixture list and provides his selections for the £250,000 Super 6 jackpot, with it being a Sky Bet League One special on Easter Monday. AFC Wimbledon v Portsmouth, Monday, Sky Sports 1 HD, 12.45pmI cant wait to watch this one, and Ill think there will be goals. Neal Ardley is doing a brilliant job at Wimbledon, and theyve got a super spirit. They are nicely placed at the moment, four points off the play-offs, and they could do with beating Pompey to keep things going, but I dont think they will. Kingsmeadow is a tough place to go, and I think Portsmouth will be happy with a draw. OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 9/2)Millwall v Burton Albion, Monday, Sky Sports 1 HD, 7.45pmBurton could be about to have a funny little blip. When youre that clear at the top, everybody else raises their game. Millwall have lots of goalscorers, led by Lee Gregory at the minute with 16 goals, but dont forget Steve Morison with 14, and in stark comparison, Burtons top scorers have eight each in Lucas Akins and Mark Duffy.They must have a right good team spirit there, but I think theyll come a cropper at The Den. Millwall will be smarting after losing to Bradford because that was a right kick in the doobies, but they will bounce back. OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 17/2)Bury v Gillingham, Monday, 3pm - (Super 6 fixture)Gillingham should have too much for Bury, and I think theyll sneak a result. Both teams have a few players out injured but I fancy Gillingham to get the win. Rory Donnelly is having a brilliant season, I think hell get on the scoresheet at Gigg Lane. Highlights from Blackpools 1-1 draw with Bury in League One OLLIE PREDICTS: 0-2 (Sky Bet odds 12/1)Crewe v Bradford, Monday, 3pm - (Super 6 fixture)I can only see this going one way, and I fear for Crewe now because Bradford are on a roll after that win over Millwall. If you look at Crewes league position, theyre desperate for a win but I just dont think it will come in this game. Steven Davies is back on the goal trail for Bradford and when you get one, they come along like buses. Highlights of Sheffield Uniteds 3-2 win over Crewe from Sky Bet League One OLLIE PREDICTS: 0-2 (Sky Bet odds 13/2)Doncaster v Blackpool, Monday, 3pm - (Super 6 fixture)Shock! Nothing against Doncaster, but Im going for Blackpool. Danny Philliskirk is a very good goalscorer - his dad Tony was a real good player too - and hell start popping in the goals. Blackpool need it because its looking pretty bleak and they have to win this.Donny started the season really well and have dropped off, but if I was them I wouldnt be panicking too much. If they win their game in hand theyre out of the relegation zone, and once you get out, you can start climbing. This is a massive game for both teams, but Im going with Blackpool, and thats my heart talking rather than my head. Guess six correct scores and you could win £250,000 OLLIE PREDICTS: 0-1 (Sky Bet odds 8/1) Play £250,000 Super 6 Pick six correct scores to win life-changing sum! Oldham v Chesterfield, Monday, 3pm - (Super 6 fixture)You can raise your game against the top teams when youre down at the bottom, but Chesterfield requires a totally different mindset to Burton. Have Oldham got that in them? Lee Novak and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake have got going now, and I think this will be a really tough one for hosts. Highlights from the Pirelli Stadium as Burton faced Oldham in Sky Bet League One OLLIE PREDICTS: 0-2 (Sky Bet odds 14/1)Port Vale v Barnsley, Monday, 3pm - (Super 6 fixture)Barnsley were knocked out of the play-off places on Good Friday, so theyll be chomping at the bit here. As for Port Vale, they will still feel they can make up the difference to sixth, but they have to win this game. Unfortunately for them, Im going for a sneaky away win because when youre at home and you need to victory, the fans can put extra pressure on you, especially if you concede first.Pagey [Rob Page] has done a fantastic job at Port Vale, but Barnsley will have a little bit too much in the boots of Sam Winnall. He is having a great season and deserves another goal. Highlights of Shrewsburys 1-1 draw with Port Vale from Sky Bet League One OLLIE PREDICTS: 0-1 (Sky Bet odds 15/2)Scunthorpe v Swindon, Monday, 3pm - (Super 6 fixture)I cant separate these two, and if you look at the table, theres only three points between them. There should be goals, though, and I think Swindon will score first through striker Nicky Ajose, a wonderful young player, before they get pegged back.OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 11/2) Ollies Super 6 predictions Super 6 game Ollies tip Bury v Gillingham 0-2 Crewe v Bradford 0-2 Doncaster v Blackpool 0-1 Oldham v Chesterfield 0-2 Port Vale v Barnsley 0-1 Scunthorpe v Swindon 1-1 Wigan Athletic v Rochdale, Monday, 1.30pmWigan will keep marching on and I dont think theyll drop out of the automatic places now. Will Grigg is a great signing, and hes in top form so he could be the difference on the day. Rochdale are having a fantastic season themselves, and you look at Ian Henderson with 13 goals and the job Keith Hill as done, but Wigan at home could be too difficult. Rochdale will look at this as a chance to get one point off the play-offs, but Wigan are on the march. Highlights of Wigans 4-1 win over Swindon from Sky Bet League One OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-0 (Sky Bet odds 11/2)Plymouth Argyle v York City, Monday, 3pmPlymouths little blip will galvanise them and get them going again. They are maybe a little young and perhaps its a lack of experience because they havent done it before. But they have a brilliant strike-force and theyll come back - they are too good. York? Good God, look at them. They are almost dead and buried, Im afraid.OLLIE PREDICTS: 3-0 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)Think you can do better than Ollie? Enter your Soccer Saturday Super 6 predictions here.

It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home. Durant scored 32 points and the Thunder beat the Bulls 107-95 on Thursday night for their eighth straight win. http://www.ausuperstarsupercolor.com/ch ... akers.html. It was the quickest three-goal sequence in Olympic history, with the latter two coming just eight seconds apart. Kessel, Lamoureux and Kendall Coyne all scored twice for the Americans, and Molly Schaus made 10 saves in her Sochi debut. Adidas Zx Flux Grey . To be fair, the celebrations are already anything but tame. Nerf ball tricks shots are just the tip of the iceberg for a group that has performed in zero gravity, faced pro-skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and an assembled team on the MTV series "Fantasy Factory", and even hit a basketball trick shot from a passing blimp. Adidas White Superstar . -- The Denver Broncos are shuffling their offensive line this off-season and Orlando Franklin provided some insight into their plans Monday by tweeting that hes moving from right tackle to left guard.When the Carolina Hurricanes went into the 2002 playoffs, they didnt necessarily think they were Stanley Cup contenders. Then Paul Maurice worked his magic behind the bench. "We could feel it within our room, we could feel it on our bench, we could feel it on our plane" former Carolina goaltender Kevin Weekes said. "And we knew that we were a prepared group, we knew that we were a committed group, we knew we were a group that believed, and Coach Maurice went a long way in creating that atmosphere." Maurice got that group to the Cup final as part of an impressive tenure in Carolina. Almost 12 years after that run, Maurice on Sunday replaced Claude Noel as coach of the Winnipeg Jets, and a handful of his former Hurricanes players consider it a good fit based on what he did for them. "I think hes a very underrated coach," said Hall of Famer and former Carolina captain Ron Francis, who also worked as an assistant under Maurice. "Hes a very bright guy, hes good at assessing the talent he has and then structuring the system that he believes will get the most out of the lineup that he has on a game-in, game-out basis." Maurice has his fair share of issues to deal with to fix what ails the Jets, who are 10 points out of the Western Conferences final playoff spot after losing five in a row. "I would imagine the strategy for him, hed be a little bit of a detective going in there," said Jeff ONeill who played for Maurice in Carolina and Toronto. "Hes going to find out what the problems are and hes going to address the issues. And thats probably the first order of business." Its not exactly new business, either. When Maurice became Whalers coach early in the 1995-96 season, he inherited a Hartford team that missed the playoffs in each of the past three years. The Jets missed the playoffs in their first two seasons in Winnipeg and havent made it since 2006-07 as the Atlanta Thrashers. At least its a familiar challenge for Maurice. "It almost works in his favour that this is not a new situation for him," said former defenceman Aaron Ward. "Hes never really walked into a situation where hes had a cupboard full of unbelievable talent." Winnipeg doesnt have unbelievable talent, but theres a core in place beginning with captain Andrew Ladd, U.S. Olympian Blake Wheeler, Evander Kane and Dustin Byfuglien. Those early Whalers teams were led by Geoff Sanderson, Andrew Cassels and Keith Primeau. Maurice didnt turn things around right away, but by the second season of the Hurricanes after the move to North Carolina, they were in the playoffs thanks to contributions from Primeau, Sami Kapanen, Francis and goaltender Arturs Irbe. The 2002 run to the Cup final was Maurices most memorable achievement, taking an unheralded group led by Francis and Rod BrindAmour to within three victories of knocking off the talent-rich Detroit Red Wings. Even today, Francis wondered what wouldve happened if Carolina didnt lost Game 3 in triple overtime. "I think he just had the guys believing that we were capable of doing it," said Francis, whos now vice president of hockey operations for the Hurricanes. "We kept everything sort of simple and the focus on the direction it needed to be kept on, and as a result you had a team that believes in itself, believes in each other and some may say overachieved, but not according to the guys in that locker room or the coaching staff. We certainly believed we belonged right to the end." Maurice isnt the same man he was when he got his first NHL head-coaching job at the age of 28 or even the same from 2002. Maurice has coached 1,084 games with the Whalers, Hurricanes and Toronto Maple Leafs and isnt a fresh-faced youngster anymore. "Obviously he knows what works and wwhat doesnt work now," ONeill said.dddddddddddd "I think maybe when he was younger he thought he had to be a hard ass all the time for guys to kind of buy in and believe it, and then later on the message didnt have to be that because he was established, he had coached so many games." Maurice is 46 now, armed with experience from coaching Metallurg in Russias Kontinental Hockey League and doing some television analysis. Francis worked on Maurices staff in 2009-10 and 2010-11 and saw how he matured and changed over time. Francis has no doubt Maurice has adjusted with a changing league. "Hes very bright, hes a good student of the game and hes watching whats happening and how things are evolving," Francis said. "He incorporates that into his game plan and his systems. Theres no question he doesnt get stuck on one particular thing but more or less moves with the times." Times now are about youth, as Weekes pointed out the NHL has never been younger. Maurice will be charged with figuring out how to best use defenceman Jacob Trouba, centre Mark Scheifele and others in the pipeline in Winnipeg. Based on what Maurice did at the junior level, including winning the 1995 OHL title with the Detroit Jr. Red Wings, and how much he accomplished with the Hurricanes, his former players know where his strengths lie. Most notably, he can maximize the talent at his disposal. "Its one thing to coach somebody up, its another thing to just coach and its another thing to coach somebody down," Weekes said. "Paul Maurice is somebody that Ive seen, and one of the few that Ive seen as a head coach in my time, that coached you up." If the Jets hope to make up a substantial deficit to get back into contention this season or at least make strides for the future, itll be up to Maurice to coach up like he did in Carolina. That job starts with creating an identity for a team that has been lacking one. Those Hurricanes teams are a nice blue print. "I think its a team that works extremely hard," Francis said. "I think its a team that tries to be very solid in its own end and then try to get in on the forecheck as quickly and as aggressively as possible. Those are some of the trademarks that he really liked to incorporate into his team." Personal relationships also are a trademark of Maurices coaching. Weekes said Maurice knew how to treat players as players and as people, and Francis lauded his "open-door policy," which could benefit Ladd. "At any point as a captain, if I wanted to walk in and have a conversation with him, I felt comfortable doing that," Francis said. "We could talk about everything from my individual game to team concepts and systems or strengths and weaknesses and how to adjust things. And it was no different being a part of the coaching staff. He gave everybody a voice. Youre allowed to kind of say your piece and what you thought, and at the end of the day it was his job as head coach to make the final decision. But he certainly gave you that opportunity to express what you felt." Maurice certainly hasnt been perfect. During his 13 full seasons as an NHL head coach, his teams made the playoffs five times and missed eight. But Weekes, who was part of just one Maurice-led playoff team, praised him as "hands-down" the best coach he ever played for. "He set the right tone with the staff, certainly with all of our players, and for the most part youd have to say he put all of us in a position to succeed," Weekes said. "Everything was structured, our work ethic as a team was through the roof, and I think that really reflected our coaches, starting with Coach Maurice, just in terms of the preparation, the practice detail, the tempo -- us doing all the little things that it took the be successful."
