Custom Boston Red Sox Nike Jerseys .Manager Slaven Bilics West Ham (3-4-8) have gone from European qualification to 17th in the Premier League in the space of less than half a season, with the prospect of a relegation tussle now far more likely than a repeat of last years heroics.Theyll have a chance at success Wednesday night against visiting Burnley.There is a sliver of reason for positivity among West Ham fans. Sundays 2-2 draw with Liverpool saw the Hammers put in a much-improved performance as they brought an extremely tough run of fixtures to an end, having faced Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur prior to facing Jurgen Klopps side.And now West Ham have back-to-back winnable matches with Burnley and Hull City both visiting the Olympic Stadium inside four days.We tried to get as many points as possible from these four, on paper, very difficult fixtures and now we have Burnley and Hull at home, Bilic said after the draw with Liverpool.Those games will be extremely difficult in every way and we will have to show the character again, but also the quality, togetherness, patience, because they will be very mentally demanding games. We have to be ready for them.One big challenge for the Hammers will be to get some confidence on their new home patch where the east Londoners have won just twice in seven league games this season. There will be no better chance to do that than against a Burnley side who have struggled desperately away from home.Sean Dyches Clarets (5-2-8) have based their solid start to the season almost entirely on their home form, picking up just a single point and scoring only one solitary goal in six matches on the road.Saturdays 3-2 home win over Bournemouth was impressive, but Burnley will need to take that form with them on the trip to London, while a repeat of Jeff Hendricks sensational volley wouldnt go amiss.If you want to do well everyone needs to chip in, we cant just rely on strikers, Hendrick modestly said after his cracker put the team on their way to a fifth win of the campaign. We cant just rely on the strikers, they will pop up with goals and they always want to score but its good to have others chipping in.Ive come close the last few games, against Stoke I tried to lob the keeper and he saved it, against Palace I could have had one or two and Ive been a bit frustrated that I didnt put them away. Ive got personal goals and I need keep getting in and around the box and get more.Hendrick is likely to play as the central creative player once again on Wednesday, but wide man Johann Gudmundsson remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.West Ham have a host of injury problems with James Collins, Cheikhou Kouyate, Sam Byram and Reece Oxford doubts. Gokhan Tore and Diafra Sakho have been ruled out.The Hammers have won three of their last four Premier League encounters with Burnley and lost just one of their last 11 in all competitions against them.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Custom Cincinnati Reds Nike Jerseys . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship. https://www.custombaseballnikejerseys.com/ . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Paul Henderson is having such a good year, he threatened to steal Mats Sundins No. 13 at the International Ice Hockey Hall of Fame induction. Its been non-stop recognition in 2013 for Henderson and his heroics for Canada in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union. Henderson joined Sundin in a class of IIHF player inductees on Sunday, which also included Swedens Peter Forsberg, Finlands Teppo Numminen and Canadas Danielle Goyette. Henderson, 70, received the Order of Canada earlier this month and the Order of Hockey in Canada last month. "It has been a good year, 2013," Henderson declared. ""I always wore 19 but Im seriously thinking of changing to 13. "Thirteen is great number big boy," he told Sundin. "Im going to take it up from here." Children watched on televisions in their school classrooms almost 41 years ago as Canada and the Soviet Union met in the eighth and final game of the series in Moscow. Henderson, from Kincardine, Ont., scored the winning goals in Game 6 and Game 7 to help Canada pull even in the series. It was his electrifying goal with 34 seconds remaining in Game 8, however, that prompts people of a certain generation to stop him on the street and tell him where they were, what they were doing and how they felt at that moment. Henderson never played in an Olympics and world championship during his professional career, but Canadians associate him with one of Canadas greatest international hockey triumphs. The recent rush to fete Henderson is due to his health. Diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in November, 2009, Henderson lost weight and had a tumour "the size of a grapefruit" last year. He credits his wife of 50 years, Eleanor, for getting him into a clinical trial that reversed his condition. "If I can just stay alive, this is working out well," Henderson said. "Im actually doing quite well. "I got into a clinical study in the States back in September, Ive put on 20 pounds since then. A growth the size of a grapefruit is now the size of the end of my finger." The goaltender Henderson scored those goals on, Vladislav Tretiak, introduced his friend and former nemesis at the induction ceremony. "I remember 1972 all my life because it was the best time," Tretiak said. "Paul Henderson scored three games the winning goals and last game, number eight, an amazing goal. I think God gave him the chances for his talent and hard work." The recognition Henderson has received from these institutions could increase the lobby to get Henderson into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Tretiak is a member, but Henderson is not. Former IIHF general secretary Jan-Ake Edvinsson of Sweden was inducted as a builder and the Soviet Unions 1954 world championship team earned the IIHFs milestone award. TSNs Gord Miller of Edmonton received the Paul Loicq Award givenn annually for outstanding service to international hockey. Custom Kansas City Royals Nike Jerseys. Goyette, from St-Nazaire, Que., is the sixth female player the IIHF has inducted. She joins Canadians Angela James and Geraldine Heaney, who entered in 2008. Goyette was 41 years old when she played her final game for Canada at the 2007 world championship. She won Olympic gold in 2002 and 2006 as well as eight world championships. "Danielle Goyette developed every year," former Swedish womens coach Peter Elander said. "She was a better player as a 41-year-old than a 26-year-old." Her 114 goals and 105 assists in 172 career game ranks her fourth all-time in national team points. "I didnt have role models as a female hockey player," Goyette said. "My role models were the guys I got inducted with. Thats pretty amazing, Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin. "Paul Henderson, you hear about that goal all the time and I cant tell you where I was that day, but I can tell you I heard about that goal year after year and thats what made it special today." Now 47, Goyette is currently the head coach of the University of Calgary womens hockey team and will be an assistant coach to Dan Church on the Olympic womens team. "When you think about what you want to leave behind, its a chance for girls to be able to play hockey and it to be normal to play hockey," she said. "When the girls start to play hockey at five years old and on a girls team, I think we did a pretty good job and not just talking about me, but all my teammates who have been through it." Forsberg is the only player to win hockeys three most coveted trophies -- an Olympic gold, a world championship and a Stanley Cup -- twice. Sundin was the first European to be the No. 1 selection in an NHL draft when the Quebec Nordiques called his name in 1989. The former Toronto Maple Leafs captain was also Swedens captain when the country won Olympic gold in 2006. Sundin also earned three world titles during his international career. Numminen, a former Winnipeg Jets and Phoenix Coyotes defenceman, won three medals in four Olympics Games for Finland and represented his country in another eight international events. Henderson is enjoying more than ever his role in an event that transcended sport and became part of Canadian history. "To a certain degree, I think hockey in Canada is in our DNA and I think that moment brought us together probably as much as any other event in probably the history of Canada because were so passionate about the game of hockey," he said. "The way it turned out, we got down badly and we had to come back. The people got behind us. I suggest to you we would never have won that series without the 3,000 crazy Canadians that went to Moscow and cheered us on. It was win for Canada, a win for the NHL and certainly a win for hockey fans and certainly the Paul Henderson family." ' ' '
