Weve got to look at whats working and whats not working. Youve got to finish at the end of the day.Were scoring one goal and getting points. Thats a hell of a feather in these guys caps but youre going to have score goals in this league.Fabbri was called for hooking with 19 seconds left but Detroit could not cash in.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Channelling nerves and fear into a positive force isnt easy but Adam Peaty, like so many great champions, has become an expert at doing it.The Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth 100 metre title holder used to feel sick when he made finals. Now the pressure spurs him on.As I got more experienced and more mature, I kind of developed myself into a fight or flight [person] -- and Ive fought every time, he said after his successes in Brazil.And the transformation has been such that Peaty was described as a real thrill seeker by his family, someone who enjoys being on the edge.His pride and joy at home is his Mercedes AMG A45 sports car -- loud and very fast, according to girlfriend Anna Zair - and the boy who couldnt stand frightening films has turned into a man who loves thrillers.I dont get into the car, said mum Caroline. I did it once after a meal and I begged him not to drive fast -- he frightened the living daylights out of me.Peaty, then, clearly has a need for speed, and his swimming has been giving an indication of that for a while. But when he chooses to relax by forcing himself to cower on the sofa, he has taken it to another level.Adam likes to watch horror films, Zair said. Our favourite film is The Conjuring. Its the scariest film I have ever seen. It kept him awake for a few nights. Im fine, its Adam clinging on to me. He is the one who is terrified of them.His mother added: Adam used to hate horror films. He used to get pinned down by his brothers to watch them. One time he was watching the Exorcist and one of us came into the room and it scared the living daylights out of him.Perhapss the adrenaline junkie has always been a part of Peatys make up, he just needed someone to bring it out of him.ddddddddddddHis coaches have done that, working hard with him on his mental approach over the last couple of years. The way his ability to stand strong has spread to other aspects of his life suggests there will be no slipping back, no faltering in the face of fear for this impressive British champion.That was certainly the case when he took gold on Sunday and those who have tutored him can take a great chunk of credit again.Bill said something really vital to me, Peaty said, referring to British Swimming head coach Bill Furniss. He just said burn the boats. So you imagine doubt was a boat, you burn it and then attack.That phrase is exactly what Mel [Marshall, his City of Derby coach of seven years] said to me before the race and I knew exactly what it meant -- get rid of all doubt and then attack with everything youve got.The adrenaline Peaty seems to enjoy so much would have been one of the reasons he got just 30 minutes sleep in what remained of the night after he won gold.He has some time now before he competes in the 4x100m medley, which starts Friday, and the only challenge facing him other than his preparation, is how to compete with nan Mavis, who has become a social media sensation during the Games.Adam has not spoken to Mavis [yet], his mother explained. But he was quite peeved about the Twitter. It took Adam ages to get over 6,000 followers and Mavis got them over night! ' ' '
