CARSON, Calif. Ryan Ramczyk Youth Jersey . -- Robbie Keane is leaving the LA Galaxy after winning three MLS Cup titles over six successful seasons.The Galaxy and the Irish striker announced their mutual parting Thursday, with the team lavishing praise on one of the most successful European transplants to MLS.The 36-year-old Keane intends to continue playing, but hasnt chosen a new club.I believe that now is the right time for a new challenge as I look towards the next chapter of my playing career, Keane said in a statement. I still feel as fit and sharp as ever, and I am looking forward to my next adventure. Having now retired from international football, I am ready to focus everything I have on one last major challenge in club football and will be taking time out to consider my options before announcing my next move.Keane was one of MLS best players with the Galaxy, winning the league MVP award in 2014 and propelling the club to championships in 2011, 2012 and 2014. He served as the Galaxys captain for long stretches of his time in California, teaming up with Landon Donovan and David Beckham to form the core of MLS most internationally prominent team.Keane joined the Galaxy in August 2011 after a lengthy European club career that included 80 goals for Tottenham Hotspur.Unlike England midfielder Steven Gerrard, who also announced his departure from the Galaxy this week, Keane thrived stateside. He lived downtown in a luxury condominium with his family, and he demonstrated a Spartan work ethic that rubbed off on his younger teammates.You can make the case that (Keane) has been the best player in this league for however many years hes been here, Donovan said last week. From the minute he stepped through the door, we knew we had hit a home run. We didnt know what we were going to get, as far as his desire to win and compete, and when that part was evident, I think we knew it was a matter of time until we had championships.But Keane missed roughly half of the Galaxys just-completed season due to injuries while Giovani Dos Santos and Gyasi Zardes supplanted him as the Galaxys top offensive threats. Keane had 92 goals and 51 assists during his Galaxy stay.Hes been fantastic, Donovan added. I would have never imagined that someone of his pedigree, with his quality, and playing at the clubs he played at, would come here with the intention to do things the right way like that. He could have come here and gone on vacation and taken it easy. Hes not built that way, and he was fantastic from Day 1 until the end.Keane is thought to be interested in playing elsewhere in MLS, but a return to Europe could offer more options. He also plans to begin a coaching career soon, and he could emerge as a contender for a role with LAFC, the MLS expansion club moving into downtown Los Angeles to become the Galaxys rivals when they begin play in 2018.Despite their talent-laden roster, the Galaxy finished sixth in the MLS table this season and lost to Colorado in the Western Conference semifinals.The departures of Keane and Gerrard will enable a thorough makeover of the franchise, which has two designated player slots to fill with its usual aggressive player acquisition.While Donovan still hasnt decided whether to extend his comeback for another season, the new Galaxy are likely to be built around Dos Santos and Zardes -- two dynamic scorers still in their primes -- rather than the over-30 superstars who dominated the club in previous seasons. Alex Anzalone Womens Jersey . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Alvin Kamara Youth Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. http:///...timore-Elite-Jersey/ . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. OTTAWA, Ontario -- Mark Borowiecki found a unique way to break the tension in a tight game against the New Jersey Devils.Derick Brassard scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period, Mike Condon stopped 29 shots and the Ottawa Senators beat the Devils 3-1 on Saturday night to snap a season-high three-game losing streak.Bobby Ryan scored in the first period and Zack Smith added an empty-netter for the Senators.However, everyone was talking about Borowiecki after the game. For about 30 seconds midway through the third period the Devils controlled the puck in the Ottawa zone while Borowiecki stumbled and fell about five times after losing his skate blade. Referee Tim Peel finally blew the play dead allowing Borowiecki to make his way to the bench and get his skate repaired.It was a very serious moment in the game and (the Devils) were throwing the puck around and then I saw (Borowiecki) fall and I couldnt help but chuckle when he fell on his butt so hard, Condon said. I talked to the ref after and he said `thats not hockey and I had to blow the whistle. Thankfully he blew it down.Borowiecki also had a postgame laugh about the incident and said it was the second pair of skates he broke in the game.My blade holder cracked in half and I lost my steel and when that happens you cant stand up. Its impossible, he said. Im pretty sure I have two bruised hip bones right now from falling so much. You can laugh about it now. (Chris Kelly) said Timmy Peel was so disgusted with me on that shift he just finally blew it down.John Moore scored and Keith Kinkaid finished with 28 saves for the Devils, who have lost five straight.The Senators entered the third period up 2-1 and needed a great save from Condon in the final minute before Smith scored into the empty net with 14 seconds to play.Despite Borowieckis moment of comedic misfortune, Senators coach Guy Boucher thought his club played a textbook third period -- not allowing the Devils to score while holding them to six shots.Winning teams, thats what theyre able to do, Boucheer said. Marcus Williams Jersey. I like that twice we took away back doors, which has hurt us lately. I really like that we had a back door, box up mentality.(Cody) Ceci saved one, (Dion) Phaneuf saved one, our forwards were really looking for that back-door guy, so I think we got better. It was a solid, shutdown third period.Ottawa went up 2-1 at 1:14 of the second period when Brassard tipped a shot by Zack Smith past Kinkaid. That goal was changed after originally being credited to Smith.The Devils nearly tied the game a few minutes later when Taylor Hall beat Condon with a shot from the slot, but after hitting the post the puck was swept away by Dion Phaneuf.The Senators got the games first goal four minutes in thanks to a little leg work from Smith. Chris Kelly took a shot that was redirected by the knee of Ryan in front of Kinkaid.Kelly was originally credited with the goal but following further review it was changed to Ryan.The Devils tied the game just shy of the 11-minute mark of the first period when Moore beat Condon with a point shot. Mike Cammalleri picked up the assist on the goal, giving him his 600th NHL point.You hit a milestone and it gives you a moment to reflect, Cammalleri said. Im a romanticist when it comes to sports and it for me it makes me think of all the people that support you and all the time youve enjoyed playing this game.But its only a moment of reflection because you get right back to trying to win a hockey game.Game notes Ben Harpur, Craig Anderson and Mike Hoffman were the scratches for the Senators, while Beau Bennett, PA Parenteau and Pavel Zacha were scratches for the Devils ... F Casey Bailey, acquired along with defenseman Dion Phaneuf last season, made his Senators debut Saturday. ...
