both sides of the ball Zitat · Antworten

TORONTO – Tim Gleason and his wife, Candice, woke up on the first day of 2014 and made a life-altering decision that would send the 30-year-old and his family to the city of Toronto. Reggie Jackson Jersey . Gleason, who had spent eight seasons in the Carolina Hurricanes organization, decided to waive his no-trade clause and switch teams for the first time since 2006. "We contemplated it for a week or a couple weeks on and off and we just looked at each other and said enough is enough," Gleason explained, "because its an everyday thing of handling whether they want you there or they want you out, if it was better for my career to move on. We woke up and just said weve got to do it and so thats what we did." Gleason was sent to the Maple Leafs in exchange for John-Michael Liles and defensive prospect, Dennis Robertson. He had been a member of the Hurricanes since the fall of 2006 when he was flipped from the L.A. Kings, alongside Eric Belanger, in a deal for now-Columbus defender Jack Johnson and Oleg Tverdovsky. His state of being was considerably different back then. He wasnt married for one and didnt have three young kids, two girls and a boy, to think about. Nor did he own the no-trade clause which allowed him to determine where he wanted to continue his career – there were a handful of teams that he was considering. "Theres a lot more that has to do with [it] than just picking up yourself and going," said Gleason, who averaged 16 minutes this season, down from nearly 20 per game last season. "You want to go to a place where theres an opportunity, obviously and a place where you can fit properly." That fit had evidently run its course with Kirk Muller and the Hurricanes, the end seemingly beginning during a Sept. 21 preseason game in Montreal. Gleason squared off that night with Jarred Tinordi and suffered a concussion from the scrap. His role, upon return from the injury, dwindled with rookie Brett Bellemore assuming increased opportunity from the Carolina coaching staff. A fiery presence, who better fits the Randy Carlyle mold than Liles, Gleason is hoping to reignite his career in Toronto. "Its kind of a laid-back situation there," said Gleason of Raleigh, North Carolina, "easy-living, good weather, beautiful place to play. But hockey career-wise, it was a decision that had to be made. This is the hockey place where you want to play." With an injury to Carl Gunnarsson (elbow) and the embarrassment of a 7-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday evening, a door has opened into the Leafs lineup for the Michigan native. He is likely to step right onto the teams top pairing with Dion Phaneuf. "Were asking Tim Gleason to play the way hes accustomed to playing," Carlyle said of the former Windsor Spitfire last week. "Hes etched out an NHL career being a strong, physical defensive defenceman. We think that he has something to offer to our group." Carlyle was suitably displeased with the performance of his group in its most recent lopsided defeat and singled out the lack of compete as a trait to be improved upon heading into Tuesdays game against the Islanders. "Were not going to have success unless were prepared to go in and win our share of battles in those areas and quite frankly, we didnt do enough of it in the last game," said Carlyle, who is considering a juggling of the entire defence for the game against New York. Described by Leafs general manager Dave Nonis as "very competitive" on the day of the trade, Gleason should, at the very least, be of some help in that regard. It remains to be seen how much aid he can offer to a club thats struggled badly to defend all year and especially of late. The Leafs have allowed 40 shots or more in four of the past five games, including 50 against the Rangers on Saturday. Luis Severino Jersey . As Valanciunas was whistled for a rare technical toward the end of the third quarter - a result of waving his hand at an official after being called for a foul - Lowry pulled the Raptors sophomore aside, corralling him by his jersey and patting him on the back.

For the second straight day at Philadelphias training camp, a fight broke out between an offensive and defensive player. Cornerback Bradley Fletcher took on wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on Monday. Linebacker Trent Cole got into it with All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy a day earlier. "Were just playing ball," Fletcher said. "Emotions got going and one thing led to another. Its football. Things happen. Were all working to get better. We just go on to the next day." Maclin walked off the field and declined to speak to reporters. He looked angry about the fight. Cornerback Cary Williams was glad to see it. "Youre not supposed to be friends at camp, although you look out for your brother," Williams said. "Youre fighting for jobs, fighting for opportunities." Williams and his defensive mates have a chip on their shoulder. The defence ranked 29th in the NFL last year during Philadelphias worst-to-first season and was the main reason the Eagles lost to New Orleans in a wild-card playoff game. While Chip Kellys offence received all the accolades, the defence was viewed as a weakness. But they werent as bad as the numbers and they improved significantly after a poor first month. "We have a great team, a great chance here," Williams said. "Were going to be aggressive, fly around and its going to be a different defence that you see out there. We cant talk about it; we have to be about it." SSo, theyre setting the tone early in camp. Joe DiMaggio Jersey. Things got heated Sunday when Cole and McCoy went at it. The veterans are friends and both downplayed the incident. "Their emotions got the better part of them," Kelly said. "Those things happen. Its no different than sometimes little kids dont get along very well and throw Tonka trucks at each other. Its not a real big deal." Fletcher and Maclin exchanged punches following a pass play down the right sideline. Throwing fists with helmets on isnt the smartest idea, but neither player was injured. "Youre not swinging to hurt the guy," Williams said. "They have helmets on. You have to protect him and protect yourself. Its common sense. Its almost a faking situation. You break your hand in a fight, youre a complete idiot. Thats great we have physicality on both sides of the ball. As soon as we get off the field, were buddy-buddy. Were family. You cant take that into the locker room." The team wore pads for the first time Monday in an open practice at Lincoln Financial Field in front of approximately 15,000 fans. "Its all in fun. It happens," McCoy said about the fight. NOTES: The biggest surprise for Kelly since his transition from Oregon to the NFL is the "hype" surrounding the draft. "The fact that people would watch the Combine; theres times at the Combine where I fall asleep," Kelly said. "So I dont know why people watch it on television. They are running 40-yard dashes."
