Cody Kessler Jersey . Mooseheads forward Jonathan Douin was named the 2012-13 CHL player of the year, while head coach Dominique Ducharme took home coach of the year honours. While both appreciated the recognition for a great season as Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions, their focus quickly shifted to Sundays MasterCard Memorial Cup final against the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League. "The trophy I want is (on Sunday)," said Drouin, who had 41 goals and 64 assists in 49 games this season and is the No. 3 ranked North American skater ahead of next months NHL draft. "That was our goal from the beginning of the year -- winning the Memorial Cup." Drouin was quick to note that winning an award like player of the year includes a lot of help from others. "Theres a lot of good things (involved)," he said.... less

Jonathan Ogden Jersey . You can watch the game live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt. Granted, there is a possibility that the teams could play to a tie this weekend, but that hasnt happened in a number of years now and shouldnt be much of a possibility given how wild the scoring opportunities were during the first week of the season. In fact, the 277 points scored in the four games during the first week, an average of just over 69 per game, made it the third- highest Week 1 scoring effort in league history. The Ticats played a major role in the scoring outburst, putting up 34 points against Toronto on the road, but even that was not enough to upset the defending Grey Cup Champions in their own building. Hamilton ended up suffering the five-point loss mainly... less

Brad Wing Jersey .His latest was anything but.Laine shot the puck into his own net midway through the third period, costing the Winnipeg Jets in a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.Edmontons Mark Letestu was credited with his second goal of the game when Laine fired the rebound of Letestus slap shot directly into his own wide-open cage.I think everybody saw what happened. Thats my comments, said the Finnish rookie, who has 17 goals in his first 32 NHL games. It was just a bad position for me. An unfortunate goal.Captain Blake Wheeler put an arm around Laine to console him when he returned to the bench.Hes 18 years old. He feels terrible, Wheeler said. These things happen. Ive done it many times.Oscar Klefbom also scored and Cam Talbot made 29 saves for the Oilers.Mathieu Perreault and Chris Thorburn had goals for the Jets, who have now lost four straight games.

Calvin Munson Jersey . -- Harry Douglas is correct in his argument that his low hit on Chris Harris Jr. is permissible. Hes mistaken in his contention it was clean.Tennessees journeyman wide receiver -- known now in Denver as the Titans goon -- was blocking toward his opponents goal line, not away from the ball. And the play was still live, albeit nowhere near where Harris was standing.So, legal, yes.But also dirty.I have never had a player try to end my career like that, Harris said. That was dirty and he should be fined. Thats not football.The one facing a fine is Aqib Talib, who jumped on Douglas on the next play, scuffling around in what quickly became a scrum on the Tennessee sideline. Talib lost his helmet and was penalized for unnecessary roughness when an ejection might have been in order.So, Talib stayed in the game and Harris returned and played the rest of the way, which Denver lost 13-10, but Talib was just as angry after the game .It was a dirty play by a sorry player,... less

Everything checked out. Right now, its a painful bruised back.The NFL Network reported earlier Monday that the testing had ruled out the possibility of any serious internal injury.In a text to ESPNs Josina Anderson on Sunday, Jenkins said, Im good.

Uomo/Donna Nike Air Max 90 USA Flag Scarpe da Corsa Militare/Bianche/Rosse .An English Football Association panel has decided to hire Southgate as Sam Allardyces permanent successor, people with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the decision before the FA board ratifies the appointment on Wednesday at the national teams St. Georges Park base in central England.Southgate was hastily promoted from the under-21 team in September when Allardyce was forced out after one game over unguarded comments to undercover reporters posing as businessmen.

Porcello hit Zobrist with a high-inside pitch in the first inning Sunday. Both benches were warned, but Porcello was not ejected. Some thought the pitch was retaliation for an inside pitch by Tampa Bay closer Fernando Rodney to Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera the previous day. Cabrera ended up striking out, and exchanged words with Rodney on his way back to the dugout. Detroit manager Jim Leyland said after Saturdays game that "somebody has to pay the price for that." Leyland said Sunday that it was part of the game. "Nobodys trying to hit anybody," he said. But Zobrist thought otherwise. "I thought it was intentional, and obviously the league thought that as well," he said... less
