WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine will forever be linked as the top two selections in last springs NHL draft, and the rivalry between the two -- whether they like it or not -- officially starts Wednesday night at the MTS Centre.Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Winnipeg Jets for their first battle of the season. There is no question Matthews, an Arizona-born center, made the bigger splash thus far, albeit over a two-game body of work.The 19-year-old scored a quartet of goals in his first NHL game, a 5-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators, becoming the first player in league history to accomplish such a feat. Laine followed up the next evening with a goal and an assist in a 5-4 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.The duo cooled off since, with Matthews being held off the scoresheet in a 4-1 victory over Boston on Saturday while Laine posted a pair of goose eggs in losses to both the Minnesota Wild (4-3) and the Bruins (4-1).They dont award the Calder Trophy in October -- despite what many observers in Toronto seem to think -- so hockey fans can look forward to another six months of comparisons and dueling highlights. There are also a large number of other first-year players throughout the NHL who may have something to say about the end-of-year rookie hardware.Matthews, for one, isnt buying into the hype.Were on our own teams now, he told the Toronto Sun following practice Tuesday. Its not any comparison, not one against the other. Its just another game. We have 80 more of them. Its the Toronto Maple Leafs against Winnipeg Jets.Laine concurred, telling a media scrum on Tuesday that they will each follow their own careers.I dont need any rivalry between us. I just focus on my own job, the 18-year-old Finland native said.Whatever you say, fellas.Jets coach Paul Maurice and Leafs bench boss Paul Maurice are also quick to downplay the comparisons, noting Matthews is a center while Laine plays on the right wing.The dynamic duo will be far from the only rookies in this game. Laine is joined by forwards Kyle Connor and Brandon Tanev and defenseman Josh Morrissey, while Matthews has right winger Connor Brown and center Mitch Marner as teammates.Fans of the WHA Jets will also get their fix on Wednesday evening as the famed Hot Line of Bobby Hull, Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg will be inducted into the Jets newly minted Hall of Fame.Hull wont able to attend for personal reasons, but the two Swedish superstars arrived in Winnipeg late Tuesday evening.Graying stars of yesteryear from the Jets and Oilers started to trickle into town a few days prior to the Heritage Classics alumni game Saturday, but it will turn into a geyser over the next couple of days as the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and Jari Kurri from the Oilers and Teemu Selanne and Dale Hawerchuk from the Jets touch down.

Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset. Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have been told that they risk being ordered how to drive by their teams if they collide again.Hamilton, the defending F1 champion, and Rosberg crashed on the final lap in a dramatic end to the Austrian Grand Prix last weekend.The incident happened when Hamilton was chasing race leader Rosberg and trying to find enough room to pass him.Rosberg refused to give any ground and the crash cost him valuable points, as Hamilton took his third win of the season and Rosberg finished fourth.It is the second time this season that they have crashed, following a similar incident on the first lap at the Spanish Grand Prix -- although both drivers went out so neither gained any points advantage.We have therefore strengthened our Rules of Engagement to include much greater deterrents to contact between our cars, Mercedes said Thursday in a statement following a team meeting. If the drivers do not honor the revised Rules of Engagement, we may impose team orders as a solution of last resort.Under team orders, team management can effectively order a driver by radio to drive a certain way by slowing down or not taking risks. A driver can also be told to allow his teammate to pass.Mercedes hopes the new rules will prevent further incidents between the pair, who grew up racing karts against each other and have a history of feuding at Mercedes.With these in place, we will trust our drivers to manage the situation between them on track. Their destiny is in their own hands, Mercedes said. The drivers were also remminded that we may issue instructions during the race to protect against a potential loss of constructors points.ddddddddddddRosberg, who has five wins so far this season, has seen his overall lead over Hamilton slashed to 11 points -- having won the first four races of the season. At one stage the German driver led Hamilton by 43.He blamed Hamilton for the crash in Austria, although replays appeared to show that Rosberg -- whose tires were almost worn out -- did not give Hamilton enough room. Hamilton was jeered on the podium by a section of the fans.Two seasons ago, it was Hamilton who was left fuming as Rosberg clipped his car and sent him crashing out of the Belgian GP, and earlier that season Rosberg crashed late in qualifying when under no pressure at all, bringing an end to the session with Hamilton poised to beat his leading time and get pole position.Hamilton and Rosberg also tangled on the first lap at the Canadian GP this season.In the past five races, there have been three incidents which have cost us over 50 points in the constructors championship, Mercedes said.Still, for now, Mercedes are not imposing team orders the way Red Bull did when Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber were competing for the title. Webber and Vettel had a tense relationship and sometimes ignored their own team orders during a race.Hamilton and Rosberg will resume their title tussle at this weekends British GP at Silverstone.
