While 25 players were announced as members of the 2014 Canadian Olympic mens hockey team headed to Sochi, one disappointed NHL player that was left off the roster is San Jose Sharks forward Logan Couture. "Its been tough," said Couture. "Getting the call this morning that I wasnt on the team was very difficult." Sharks general manager Doug Wilson announced on Tuesday that Couture would be having surgery to correct an upper body injury that he has been playing with for several weeks. Couture however, does not believe being hurt had anything to do with him not being selected to the Olympic team. "From what I was told I wasnt on the team regardless of injury," said Couture. So far during the 2013-14 season, the 24-year-old forward has 14 goals and 20 assists in 43 games, following this 21-goal performance in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. "Honestly I never thought the injury would affect it, I thought I gave myself the best chance," said Couture. "It doesnt get any easier being left off this team. The Olympics only come around every four years. Its tough to take right now." Adidas NMD Rebajas .

Derek Dorsett, Shawn Matthias and Alexandre Burrows all scored in the second period and Kevin Bieksa supplied two assists for the Canucks, who beat Philadelphia 4-0 on Thursday. Sometimes you need your goalie to bail you out and Ryan did, Vancouver head coach Willie Desjardins said. It was great to win, but maybe a game we didnt deserve to win without our goaltending. Cam Ward allowed all three goals on 13 shots over the first 40 minutes and Anton Khudobin turned aside all four shots fired his way in the third. Vancouver has won its last four games against the Hurricanes. After a scoreless first period, Dorsett got Vancouver on the board at 6:18 of the second. Justin Faulk misplayed the puck at the Carolina blue line. Dorsett hopped on it and beat Ward with a wrist shot. Carolina had a chance to tie the game as Miller came way out of his net to play the puck and Riley Nash beat him to it, but Nash missed wide from the side of the net.dddddddddddd. I dont know what happened there. The puck was rolling there, said Nash. I just missed it. Its a tough one. Moments later, the Canucks went up 2-0 with another breakaway goal. Matthias swept the puck past a defender, shifted the puck from his backhand to his forehand and slipped a wrister past Ward at 12:57. Burrows ripped a shot under the glove of Ward from the left circle to make it a 3-0 game with 3:11 remaining in the period. Miller made eight stops in the third to preserve the win.
