Retiring Sydney defender Ted Richards hasnt given up hope on one last AFL game. Steven Stamkos Jersey .The Swans veteran hasnt played in the top grade since round 17 against Hawthorn where he suffered a serious concussion, and isnt expected to be named to face GWS in the qualifying final this weekend.However he is likely to play in the clubs NEAFL grand final against the Giants this weekend, and he is hopeful that wont be his last game for the Swans.I still come to training every day with the intention to get better and improve, he told RSN927 on Wednesday.And if I do get the chance and the opportunity then Im going to be ready.Richards announced his retirement early last month, bringing to a close his 261-game career which has been played at both Sydney and Essendon.The 2012 All-Australian has been injury prone this season, having also battled to return from a fractured eye socket earlier in the Swans campaign.He remained hopeful at the time he would play at least one last AFL match, despite Sydney coach John Longmire later stating he wouldnt select him based on sentiment.However Richards now fears the controversial league-wide final-round bye may have cost his a final farewell.This new bye couldnt have come at a worse time for me, he said.It would have been great if Horse rested quite a few players in round 23 this year. Martin St. Louis Jersey . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. Ryan McDonagh Jersey . McPhee said that Ovechkins father Mikhail is in stable condition after having the surgery this week and is no longer in intensive care. "Weve told him to stay as long as necessary with your dad," he said. Ovechkin and his Russian national team were eliminated from the mens hockey tournament in Sochi on Wednesday with a 3-1 quarter-final loss to Finland. http://www.hockeylightning.com/customized/ . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The San Antonio Spurs are only now getting used to having their starting five perfectly healthy. Not that its kept them from navigating the road unblemished during the seasons first three weeks.The Spurs carry a 5-0 road mark into Wednesdays contest at Sacramento, a place where theyve already won once this season. Danny Green, a 10.6.-point-per-game scorer in 16 games against Sacramento, missed San Antonios first nine contests, including its 102-94 victory here on Oct. 27.That marked one of nine games the Spurs (8-3) endured without their forecasted starting five. All three losses came without 19-year veteran Tony Parker, who sat with a knee injury.Parker, Green, Kawhi Leonard (25.5 points per game), LaMarcus Aldridge and Pau Gasol did not take the floor together until Nov. 12 in Houston. On Wednesday, theyll be starting together for the third straight game -- the Spurs have won three straight since Parker returned.Tony is Tony, teammate Manu Ginobili told the San Antonio Express-News after the Spurs 94-90 home win over the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Hes been the point guard of this team for 16 years. Its not something where he can take 10 days off and were not going to feel it.The Spurs next get to see how strong their road magic is over the next three weeks. San Antonio kicks off a stretch in which it will play nine of 12 games away from AT&T Center. Five of the next six are on the road.Its always tough to play on the road, Leonard told reporters. Weve just got to focus in, as always.The Heat werent good for the Spurs renewed health. Green took a knee in the groin and missed the second half. Center Dewayne Dedmon, averaging 4.9 rebounds in 13 minutes per game off the bench, sprained his left knee in the third quarter after coolliding with Justise Winslow. Nikita Kucherov Jersey. Green is questionable to play against the Kings, but Dedmon is out. Dedmon put up a season-best 12 points, seven rebounds and four blocks while helping defend Kings center DeMarcus Cousins in San Antonios earlier victory.Cousins and his teammates havent played since Saturday, and coach Dave Joerger used the four-day break to run through an offense that his players have been working to learn since camp. The break is their longest this season, not counting the All-Star break.Sacramento nearly climbed all the way out of a hole it created by losing five of its first seven, but the Kings blew a 19-point lead in a home loss to the Lakers, then fell in overtime at Portland the next night. Now, the Kings (4-7) will fall a season-worst four below .500 if they lose to the Spurs, a team that has beaten them seven consecutive times.Cousins is scoring 26.6 points per game, the ninth-best mark in the NBA, but the Kings have won only when theyve defended. Three of their four wins have come when theyve held an opponent under 100 points, and opponents were shooting 45 percent and turning over the ball an average of 11.3 times.But Sacramento turns over the ball a lot, too. The Kings committed 15 against Portland, leading to 25 points, and have averaged 13 turnovers in their seven losses.I think some of them are just careless, Joerger told the Sacramento Bee. The long passes, I love the fact that guys are out running, and were looking for our teammates. Those are good. But were not completing them. Nothing bad happens if you dont throw that pass. Something bad can happen if it doesnt get there. ' ' '
