Matt Duchenes World Cup dream was nearly over before it started.
[b]Grey Air VaporMax China 2019[/b] .A routine play during practice with Team Canada on Sept. 13 in Pittsburgh nearly sent Duchene home from the World Cup of Hockey. Instead, the way he rallied should serve as inspiration to kids everywhere.When you want something badly enough, when your passion is that high, you can find ways to fight through pain and adversity.It was the last drill in practice the day before the Russia game, Duchene told ESPN.com. We were just doing a 2-on-2 battle drill. I barely got bumped. The puck got cycled back to me behind the net, and I think it was Shea Weber who bumped me. But he barely bumped me, he kind of just pinned me. And just the way I went in, my shoulder pad slid, I think. And I hit my AC joint right on the divider in the glass. Immediately I felt a shock of pain.He sat on the bench for a moment, had the trainer look at it, then went out for one last drill.It was worse.It was like a shock, Duchene said. I was sick to my stomach and my arm was numb. It was very painful. I was devastated. I couldnt believe it.It was a separated shoulder, just four days before Canadas World Cup opener in Toronto. This cannot be happening, Duchene thought to himself.It was a huge honor to make that team. Its something Id worked toward for a couple of years, said the 25-year-old native of Haliburton, Ontario. I remember sitting on the training table. I could barely move my arm, and I was fighting back tears because I was so upset.Thats when the team doctor told him they would look at it the next day but that they might have to make a tough decision.Immediately I could feel myself welling up a little bit, Duchene said. I said to him, As long as this thing wont get worse and I cant hurt it any more, theres no way you guys are sending me home. Ill do whatever it takes to be able to play. Whatever we need to do. I know I can fight through it. I worked too hard to be here. I was trying not to cry while I was saying this.Colorado Avalanche GM Joe Sakic was kept apprised, Duchene said. The shoulder improved each day, to the point where, with a little work from the trainers before each game, Duchene could get on the ice. He could play through the pain while not risking further injury because of extra padding.They did such a great job with me, just getting me ready every day, Duchene said of Team Canadas medical and training staff. By the time the Czech Republic game rolled around, I had it taped up pretty good. I had it really padded for most of the tournament just to protect it. I felt so lucky, like I made the team all over again. Because I was scared after the pain I felt that first day and wasnt sure what was going to happen.It was sore, to be sure, but didnt affect his play, Duchene said.I would tweak it five or six times a game, but its something I could battle through and it didnt really take away from how I felt, he said. So was I able to play at 100 percent throughout the tournament. I wasnt restricted, especially once I got it warmed up.You certainly couldnt tell anything was wrong on Sept. 20 when Duchene scored twice to lead Team Canada past Team USA 4-2 in a huge win.That was very special, Duchene said. I kind of knew where my family was sitting and I scored both goals in front of them. That was a surreal moment in my career. Its something Ill never forget.As he celebrated a World Cup championship with his Canadian teammates last Thursday night, he couldnt help but wonder, What if?Had I been sitting at home Thursday night watching the game, I would been happy for the guys but I would have been devastated that I wasnt a part of it with them, given that I was already there, he said.Instead, he headed back to Denver with the memory of a lifetime.

[b]http://www.cheapairvapormaxchina.us/[/b] . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year.Joleon Lescott says he wants to stay at Aston Villa and help the club he has supported since he was a boy return to the Premier League. Villas relegation after 28 years in the top flight was confirmed with a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday.Their future remains uncertain, with Eric Black still caretaker manager and no permanent successor yet on the horizon, but Lescott has vowed to fight on through the most difficult time in the clubs history. The fall and fall of Villa Aston Villas fall has been years in the making, but how did it happen? Of course I want to be part of the battle. Im here for as long as Aston Villa want me, he told Sky Sports.I was a Villa fan growing up, so it hurts as much as some of those fans out there, even though they might not think so.As an individual I can only take my part in the blame but I dont think its ever as bad as what people portray in the press. But were not going to dwell on that and use it as an excuse. Aston Villa caretaker manager Eric Black says it is a difficult day for the club Weve not been good enough this season and thats why we are where we are.
[b]White Air VaporMax China[/b]. Villas 24th defeat of the season compounded one of the worst Premier League records a side has put together, despite a recently-appointed new board of directors gutting the club of its failing staff, fans have continued to protest in earnest.Lescott said: The criticism has been a bit of both; warranted and, at times, unfair. Throughout the season we have given reasons for people to jump on us, but there hasnt been so many reasons at times.But its part of football and we have to take it on the chin. When things are going well you love it but when things arent going well its horrible to be a part of. Its a tough time at the minute and we owe it to the club and the fans to keep striving forward. Aston Villa succumbed to their 24th defeat of the season at Old Trafford In the back of our minds is to get promotion next season, but weve got some games left. Eric has come in and done a great job. Its disappointing but we showed a level of pride and desire today that probably hasnt been there enough throughout the season, and its led to us being relegated.Now its been confirmed that we are going to go down, hopefully its a weight off our shoulders and we can play with a level of freedom and give these fans what they deserve.Weve got some home matches left and, as an individual and collectively, were still determined to put performances in to honour the fans.
