TORONTO -- Monday marked one year and one day since Alex Anthopoulos was promoted to general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, and hes still trying to catch his breath.Hakeem Nicks Youth Jersey
. Over the past 366 days, the 33-year-old from Montreal has dramatically remade a franchise reeling after a clubhouse mutiny against manager Cito Gaston, adjusted the coaching staff, traded Roy Halladay, gotten married, put together a team that far exceeded expectations, and nearly two weeks ago became a father for the first time. Talk about a whirlwind. And its not like this winter is going to be any quieter. Hes in the midst of searching for a new manager, has several free agents to deal with, a few key holes to fill, and several other organizational matters to deal with. "I think when I finally get to spring training, it will probably be the most stable that weve been in a long time," Anthopoulos said Monday during his season-ending chat with the teams beat writers. "Theres just been one thing after another to get done, and then we can operate with a better pace. I just still feel like we havent caught up." There has already been a lot of lessons for the former Montreal Expos mailroom intern, whose boundless energy has been sorely needed over the past 12 months. The former assistant GM hit the ground running when he took over from the fired J.P. Ricciardi last year in Baltimore and hasnt stopped working since. He has a handful of regrets -- not outbidding the Cincinnati Reds for Cuban left-hander Aroldis Chapman chief among them -- and is learning to cope with them better. "I remember telling someone on our staff, I said Oct. 3, was a year, OK, were not making any more errors, any more mistakes," he said. "Were not going to bat 1.000, but I put a list of all the things we could have done, things we should have done that we didnt do and I kick myself for it. I want to make sure that we learn from every single time." Several of his co-workers, including team president Paul Beeston, have suggested to him that he needs to scale back his workload to avoid burning out. But Anthopoulos has long said his job is one that is 24-7 and hes certainly lived up to that. "Were all sports fans, and you live and die with the team," he said. "There are a lot of teams Im a big fan of. You want to know that your GM and front office are up all night, theyre thinking about it, theyre doing whatever they can, theyre getting on the phone. It doesnt mean theyre going to be right, but I want to know if Im a fan, that my GM is doing everything he can, hes not going to be outworked. "I dont do it for that reason alone, you do it just because thats they way youre built. I cant do it any other way, its the way I am, I cant turn it of. Sometimes I wish I could -- I just cant." Anthopoulos remembers that when he was assistant GM how people would tell him that everything changes once your word is the final one and acknowledged Monday "that is right, until you get in the chair, you dont know." But he feels hes shedding some of his early caution and now is no longer worried about making a mistake. "You cant be afraid, not to say that I was, but early I was probably maybe overly conservative," he said. "As an assistant GM your thought process isnt the same at all, so I needed to adjust. At the same time, Im glad I realized these things now, as opposed to two or three years from now. I kick myself a lot for opportunities lost but at the same time I try to console myself by saying if it didnt happen, I wouldnt have gotten better. "Its kind of crazy."

. The three-year-old colt covered the 1 1/2 miles in 2:23.42 on a firm course. Ridden by Ryan Moore, Conduit was making his first start in North America after racing exclusively in England. DENVER - Colorado coach Joe Sacco likes to say he no longer views Matt Duchene as a rookie, and based on the teens latest performance, its easy to see why. Duchene scored two goals, including the winner with 4:16 left, Craig Anderson made 31 saves, and the Avalanche beat the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 Friday night for their fourth consecutive victory. Hes moving well, finishing his chances, Saccos said. Hes a guy were counting on for production. Ive said this before - were into game 60 now. A lot of our young guys play a lot of minutes. Theyve been used in a lot of different situations throughout the year, so that rookie status, its really no longer. Certainly, the results on the ice bear that out. The third overall pick in the June draft who didnt turn 19 until January, Duchene redirected Brett Clarks shot from the blue line past Ilya Bryzgalov for the winning score. The NHL rookie goals leader, Duchene boosted his total to 20 with his fourth multi-goal game of the season. It takes all kinds of goals to score in games like this, Duchene said. I went to the net and Clark made an unbelievable shot and I was able to tip it. It was easy to get my stick on it. Bryzgalov didnt seem to want to give the upstart Duchene that much credit. It hit him on his stick and changed direction, he said. There wasnt anything I could have done. I did all I could. Im sure he was surprised himself. If it hadnt hit him in his stick and chhanged direction, they wouldnt have scored.

Phoenix tied it at one on Martin Hanzals rebound shot at 4:24 of the second. The Coyotes missed a chance to go ahead later in the second when Anderson used his glove to deflect Radim Vrbatas wrist shot on a breakaway. I challenged him and read that he was shooting on my glove side and got a piece of it, Anderson said. Colorado was in a 5-on-3 power play midway through the first period when Chris Stewart spotted Duchene open in front of the net and passed the puck from the left circle to the crease. Duchene hit the puck clean with his stick, shooting it past Bryzgalovs glove for the Avalanches NHL-leading eighth goal with a two-man advantage. Still, it was only the third time Colorado had scored a power-play goal in its last 28 chances over nine games. NOTES: Both teams have one game remaining before the NHLs Olympic break. ...
