After months of lengthy debate from hockey fans across the country, Canadiens defenceman P. Wendell Smallwood Eagles Jersey .K. Subbans status for Sochi is no longer up in the air. Hes officially a member of the 2014 Canadian mens Olympic hockey team - and no one is happier than Montreals No. 76. "Obviously I was very happy (to receive the phone call) and my family was as well," he told reporters after Tuesdays announcement. Subban, 24, captured the Norris Trophy last season as the NHLs best defenceman after posting 11 goals and 27 assists in 42 games during the lockout-shortened campaign. But the Habs top blueliner has maintained that he wouldnt stand still as he tried to make a lasting impression with Hockey Canada. "I try not to be complacent, get better every day and do my job to help my team win," said Subban. "Im just grateful to have the opportunity to play with the best players in the world, play against them and learn from them." The Toronto native has a solid international resume, having captured back-to-back gold medals at the 2008 and 2009 World Junior Championship, including a berth in the tournament All-Star Team in his second stint with three goals and nine points. Hes also no stranger to playing on the larger ice surface that will be utilized in Sochi. "I played on an Olympic-sized rink in junior for four years with Belleville," he explained. "It changes the game a little bit in terms of how much space and time you have out there." And Subban has shown no signs of slowing down from last years career campaign, leading the Canadiens in scoring with seven goals and 26 assists in 44 games this season. "His greatest strengths are his shot and his puck handling," said Steve Yzerman, executive director of Team Canada. "Hes the right fit for that spot right now." That assessment was echoed by Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien, whos been pleased with the improvements Subban made to earn the selection.  "He made progress over the last two years," he said Tuesday. "We wanted to make sure he was a good all-around player and he puts in effort. All the credit goes to him." Subban is one of four players named to Team Canada that is currently playing for a Canadian NHL team, joining teammate Carey Price as well as Dan Hamhuis and Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks. And the young blueliner is looking forward to sharing the Olympic experience with Price - a long-time friend on and off the ice. "Myself and Carey, weve had the opportunity to play together for a couple years now and to represent our country is great," said Subban. "I hope I get to room with him so I can snore and keep him up all night." Another teammate Subban plans to chat with is defenceman Andrei Markov, who was named to the Russias team at the same time. Provided of course, he can get Markov to respond. "Hes not talking very much right now, maybe hes already in Olympic mode,"  joked Subban. "Ive spoken to him many times about Sochi and he thinks its going to be a great experience. Ill definitely pick his brain on a couple things." Melvin Ingram Chargers Jersey .com) - Delon Wright scored 17 points and No. Corey Liuget Chargers Jersey . Jackson Houck added a goal and two assists for the Giants (28-23-10), who halted a five-game slide, while Tyler Morrison, Mason Geertsen and Dominik Volek each scored once. Matt Bellerive scored both goals for the Blazers (12-43-5), who are 1-9-0 in their last 10 outings.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - There werent too many bright spots for the New England Patriots defence during a 27-point blowout to Kansas City.The fact that it occurred in a Monday night game is one small positive.Kansas Citys 41-14 dismantling of the Patriots in front of a national audience left New England with a short week to prepare for its next opponent and mere hours to forget one of the more embarrassing losses in franchise history before shifting attention to the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals.It was a terrible loss for us, but at the same time, it was a short week, we had to move on, Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis said. Its not like it was Sunday and then we had an extra day to look at the film and had a whole day to really think about it. We had to move on fast to Cincinnati.So the Chiefs, officially, are in New Englands rearview mirror. Running back Jamaal Charles three touchdowns are a thing of the past. Quarterback Alex Smith missing on just six passes while dissecting New Englands secondary for 248 yards and three scores is a distant memory.The Bengals (3-0), one of only two undefeated teams in the NFL, are foremost in the minds of the Patriots.But their poor performance against Kansas City isnt entirely a lost cause. New Englands defence knows precisely what went wrong, and is looking to build off those mistakes.When you cant pinpoint what happened, you cant make any corrections from that, Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. For the most part, we see a lot of things that we do that we have no business doing; that we can fix. Its fixable. We need to fix it to get better.Thats what good football teams do, they fix things and move forward. Thats where were at; were fixing them and were moving forward, and hopefully we fix them before Sunday.The likely return of suspended cornerback Brandon Browner will surely help, if only to contain the Bengals big receiversThe Patriots (2-2) signed the hard-hitting Pro Bowler during the off-season despite knowing he would miss the firstt four games of the season due to violating the leagues substance abuse policy. Kyle Emanuel Chargers Jersey. Were excited to have him back. Its been too long, Revis said. He brings a lot of physicality to our defence and were looking forward to that, for him to be aggressive.Browner probably will have to shake off some rust after missing the first four weeks of practice, but his height alone should be enough to counter that of Cincinnati wide receivers A.J. Green, who stands 6-foot-4, and the 6-2 Mohamed Sanu.At 6-4, 221 pounds, Browner looks more like a receiver or linebacker than a member of the secondary.I dont care who guys have at receiver, having Brandon out there will be nice, safety Devin McCourty said. Hes a bigger guy, a physical guy who lets his presence be known as soon as he steps on the field.Itll be a big plus having him out there. Hes a veteran football player whos been in tough situations, so hell be ready to go when hes out there.New England will need all the help it can get to slow down Green, who has been quarterback Andy Daltons top weapon and deep threat since the two entered the league together in 2011.Despite being hampered by an early season toe injury, Green has hauled in 12 catches for 233 yards and a touchdown, and he is coming off the best season of his four-year career.The three-time Pro Bowler had 98 receptions for 1,426 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, and is a threat to score nearly every time he touches the ball.A.J. Green is one of the best receivers in the league, Revis said. Ive got a lot of respect for him.New Englands defence had garnered plenty of early season respect, too, although that perception may have swayed slightly following the debacle against the Chiefs.That was a long time ago to Revis, though.It was an embarrassment, yes it was, but at the same time, youve got to put it in the past, he said. Weve got 12 more games left. If we can focus on those 12 more games, we can do what we need to do in those 12 games. Its a 12-game season. Cheap NFL Jerseys nfl jerseys china ' ' '
