ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Authentic Marc Methot Jersey . -- The Colorado Avalanche will be heading into their first post-season in four years without leading scorer Matt Duchene after the forward suffered a quirky left knee injury. Duchene hurt his medial collateral ligament when he ran into a teammate on the opening shift against San Jose over the weekend. Hes expected to miss about four weeks. The loss is a big blow for the Avalanche, who have turned things around in coach Patrick Roys first season in charge and are in the running for home-ice advantage with eight games remaining. "We hope for a speedy recovery to be back as soon as he can," Ryan OReilly said after practice Monday. Duchene was trying to avoid a collision with teammate Jamie McGinn, but they awkwardly bumped anyway near the Sharks blue line. Duchene fell to the ice and then gingerly skated to the bench. "One of those freak accidents in hockey," McGinn said. McGinn said hes called and texted Duchene, telling him to "stay positive." Duchene posted on his Twitter account Monday that the "thought of not playing in the first round for me has been devastating." He added that he will be "doing everything in my power to be ready for Game 1... And if not then, shortly after!" The 23-year-old Duchene has set career highs this season in points (70), assists (47) and shots (217). He missed three games earlier this season with an oblique injury. The team went 3-0 in his absence. For now, Roy said the plan is to move rookie Nathan MacKinnon to centre to fill in for Duchene, with OReilly and McGinn playing on the wings. "Weve been finding ways to win games," Roy said. "Well continue to find ways to win." Heres an encouraging sign: P.A. Parenteau, who sprained his knee on March 10, briefly skated on his own Monday. Roy said Parenteau could possibly be back for the regular season finale in Anaheim on April 13. "We have depth and a lot of confidence in our players," Roy said. "Our players have a lot of confidence in themselves. Its a team concept. Its how weve been winning our games. Its not going to change." Right after practice, Roy assembled his team at centre ice, just to give them one final pep talk before taking off for their game in Columbus on Tuesday. He told them he was "proud of them" and that the team shouldnt be satisfied, especially with Colorado trailing Central Division-leading St. Louis by only seven points. The message was well received. "All year, guys have stepped up and done a great job," McGinn said. "We just stay positive and work hard and good things will happen." Asked if there was any pressure stepping in for Duchene, MacKinnon responded, "No." "Im not going to try to replace Dutchy, because you cant," said MacKinnon, a clear favourite for rookie of the year. "Matt is a big-time player and were going to have to find ways to win without him." Roy knows all about missing an integral player for the post-season. He and the Avalanche were without Peter Forsberg during their 2001 Stanley Cup run when Forsberg had to have his spleen removed after the first round. The team carried on without the Swedish star, beating the New Jersey Devils in Game 7 to win the title. "Thats the way it was in 2001 -- it was about the team," Roy said. "Peter was a very important player on that team, dont get me wrong. But our culture was we had to work hard every time we were on the ice. We had to find ways to win hockey games. "Thats what this team has been doing all year. This is what were talking about when youre talking about a team changing their culture. Were not looking for an excuse. Were looking for a solution."

Is it going to go your way every time? No. But you choose your attitude and how you perform and how hard you dig in." Nearly four years to the day of the 2010 gold medal match in Vancouver, his team dug in with its best effort of these Olympics, snuffing out the high-powered Americans for another opportunity at gold.

But Rooney headed United level seven minutes later, and the striker netted his 16th of the season for the struggling champions from the penalty spot before halftime. http://www.cheapstarsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-brett-ritchie-jersey . The post-season, Pierce said repeatedly, is no time to panic. And the Heat, apparently, are nothing to fear.Oliver Burke hopes his move to Germany will help him give a much-needed boost to Scotland on the international stage. Scotland take on England in a World Cup Qualifier at Wembley on Friday sitting fourth in Group F after a 3-0 defeat to Slovakia last month.But while Burke has made a fine start to his time with RB Leipzig following his record £13m move from Nottingham Forest in the summer, the 19-year-old has just four international caps to his name after making his debut against Denmark in March and has played down comparisons with Gareth Bales impact with Wales Burke hopes to win his place back in the Scotland team to face England Its obviously normal but it is not a thing people concentrate on - youre worth this or that. Its not about that, he told Sky Sports News HQ. Theyre nice comparisons. Whenever something like this happens there are always comparisons but you have to look at what Gareth Bale has done, he has won Champions League medals and is at Real Madrid and he has pretty much done everything.For me, Im nowhere near that, nowhere near his level. Im still a young boy; there is still a long way for me to go. You can compare but, for me personally, Im Oliver Burke and Im myself and I just do what I can do and work to give 100 per cent. Olliver Burke is settling into his new life in Germany and aims to win the Bundesliga in his first season at RB Leipzig Of course, Bale has been the highlight for Wales but they have many talents in their team. Authentic Craig Hartsburg Jersey. . You cant just say Wales have got where they are because of Gareth Bale - that would be a horrible thing to hear for a team-mate of Gareth Bale in Wales.There is always going to be pressure with big moves but Ive just got to keep pushing myself and not get it all on top of me which is going really great so far. Im in a very happy place, the happiest Ive been. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Burke was dropped for the defeat to Slovakia, a result which has piled the pressure on manager Gordon Strachan ahead of the trip to Wembley.Obviously I was very disappointed not being a part of that squad and sitting and watching the game for me wasnt the greatest of things. I will admit it, I wasnt happy but, at the end of the day, if thats what Gordon thinks is right and he is happy with that decision then that is fine, I am still happy to be there and still happy to be part of the squad. Burke has won four caps for his country Gordon Strachan has been brilliant with me, he got me into the squad and really helped me settle into the team nicely, but football is a winning game and of course these things happen. Ill go into this next camp and give my all again. There are no hard feelings or anything like that.We are going to go into the game like we are going to win. We are a passionate team and we strive for victory but it is a big occasion. Hopefully we do very well. I am excited to be a part of that; it is my first game against England.Of course we have to win - we have no option.
