TORONTO -- The injuries continue to pile up for Team North America, which is fighting to stay alive in the World Cup of Hockey.On Wednesday, coach Todd McLellan announced that John Gibson would start in goal for the afternoon game against Team Sweden because of an injury to starter Matt Murray. At practice on Tuesday, McLellan referenced a hand injury that was bothering Murray.Even more problematic is the thinning defense. Aaron Ekblad,?North Americas best defenseman, was already sent home to Florida and the U24 team may have to play without defenseman Ryan Murray, who is playing through an undisclosed injury. Murray took a short practice on Tuesday and McLellan said he would warm up against the Swedes today to see how he felt.If Murray cant go, that leaves North America with just five defensemen. World Cup rules only allow emergency call-ups when a team drops below 20 skaters. Nike Vapormax Tukku . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1.

Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively.

Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Nike Vapormax Kengät . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. There was a moment during the Western Bulldogs unhorsing of the emperor Hawthorn at the MCG last weekend that seemed beautifully symbolic. Luke Hodge, Hawthorns ageing warrior was caught out of position but intent on taking his ground back as he confronted Marcus Bontempelli of the Bulldogs, the best young player in the competition, near goal.Bontempelli was not cowed by the moment. He stuck his chest out, held the Hawks skipper off, and took the mark, and it was a night for passing of batons, so it seemed. Of course Hawthorn will be back, on the evidence of recent history, and Hodge will fire a few more shots. But not this year.Meanwhile the Bulldogs continue their improbable run from seventh on the ladder, picking up all the neutrals on their considerable bandwagon, not to mention the unswerving support of their fans, most of whom cannot even remember their last premiership in 1954.Luke Beveridge is at the heart of it as the coach, because the all-too-common organisational charts do not work in footy clubs. The coach should be right at the top, with the president and the chief executive, although at times, we try to pretend otherwise. We like to think that the coach is just about the footy, but we have to remember that the footy is the core business.Beveridge is the best new coach footy has seen in years, possibly since Alastair Clarkson took over at Hawthorn at the end of 2004, and their journeys were not dissimilar. Clarkson had coached a lot, won a premiership in the SANFL, coached in the VFL and worked as an assistant under smart people like Mark Choco Williams at Port Adelaide by the time Ian Dicker and the Hawthorn board appointed him. He had done an MBA and worked as a phys-edder, but he liked coaching. He was a revelation at Hawthorn, as four flags in a decade shows.A good rather than great player, Beveridge retired and went into tthe corporate world, too, but kept coming back to footy.dddddddddddd He coached St Bedes in the amateur competition to three straight flags, he coached in the background at Collingwood, and then at Hawthorn from 2012-2014 under Clarkson, ironically alongside Leon Cameron, now coach of Greater Western Sydney and his direct opponent on Saturday at the Sydney showgrounds. He worked out how to manage groups of people, how to draw them along with him and nurture them.At a footy club, you find a good coach and everything seems to follow. The Bulldogs were scarcely in a great spot when he arrived; the board had reached a mutual agreement with Brendan McCartney to leave after the players turned against him. The reluctant captain and superstar player, Ryan Griffen, had walked. A year on, they are close to a grand final, with only the burgeoning GWS in front of their goal.What is so good about Beveridge? It is the organic improvement of those within, like Liam Picken, who looks like he could play lead guitar for AC/DC and plays just as hard. It is the role players, like Joel Hamling, holding down a key defensive post when hardly anyone knew him a few months ago. It is the enthusiasm and the spirit that has been engendered through a footy club, an infectious vibe.What a wonderful irony that Hawthorn could be brought down in their quest to match the four consecutive flags of Collingwood from 1927-1930 by a team coached by Beveridge, whose grandfather Jack played in the centre for the Magpies in the side that came to be known as The Machine.At the Bulldogs, the coach sets no limits. He is not about honorable defeat; in fact, the motto the players have adopted is: Why not us?No wonder they are everybodys second team right now. ' ' '
