PEORIA, Ariz. Ryan Getzlaf Jersey . -- Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said Saturday it would be "hard pressed" for either Hisashi Iwakuma or Taijuan Walker to be in the Mariners rotation on opening day because of their injury setbacks during spring training. McClendon said the injuries to Iwakuma (finger) and Walker (shoulder) will open up chances for others in camp, but also leave a rotation that had questions entering spring training even more uncertain. "I always plan for the worst and our contingency plan has been that," McClendon said. "So like I said before this gives other guys opportunities to go out and see what they can do. Well see what happens." Iwakuma will have his right middle finger in a splint for another three weeks before throwing, while Walker is being shut down for a week because of inflammation in his right shoulder. By the time the duo make up for missed time on the mound it will be early- to mid-April before either is expected in a game. While Seattle is understandably cautious with the sore shoulder of the 21-year-old Walker because of his age, the finger injury has become frustrating for Iwakuma. When he went to see Dr. Don Sheridan on Friday, Iwakuma had the expectation that he could start throwing on Saturday. Instead, he was told to avoid throwing for three more weeks. The earliest Iwakuma is expected to pick up a ball is March 21. By the time he gets caught up on bullpen sessions and simulated games to get the needed innings to be ready for the season, itll likely be mid-April before he could join the Mariners rotation. "I was honestly disappointed and frustrated too at the same time, but you have to respect what the doctor says," Iwakuma said through an interpreter Saturday morning. "I was ready to play catch today so it is what it is and I have to wait three more weeks." Iwakuma went 14-6 with a 2.66 ERA in 33 starts last season and was a finalist for the AL Cy Young Award. Iwakuma reported for spring training wearing the splint and said his finger got caught as he tried to retrieve a ball in some netting while working out in Southern California on Jan. 20. McClendon also confirmed -- not surprisingly -- that Felix Hernandez is expected to be Seattles opening day starter when the Mariners open the season on March 31 against the Angels. "Unless youve got somebody else," McClendon joked. "Ill try and see if he can go opening day, the second day and the third day." Julius Nattinen Jersey . The American secured his first back-to-back ATP match wins since June to leave Tsonga relying on his performance at next weeks Paris Masters to clinch one of the final three places for the season-ending event in London. Tsonga would have moved up one spot to No. 6 with a win over Querrey at the City of Arts and Sciences, but his serve deserted him in the second set as the 116th-ranked American broke twice to reach the quarter-finals.

"Ive got a lot of work to do on this team and the sooner that I can get back to my office and start that work, itll be better," he said straight-faced as the rest of the room erupted in laughter. http://www.officialduckshockeyauthentic.com/john-gibson-jersey/ . Indeed, must be among the greatest challenges in all of sports. The pressure he applies, from set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot.The Vancouver Canucks (19-11-2) will look to go into their Christmas break on a two-game win streak when they host the Arizona Coyotes(11-17-4) tonight at Rogers Arena. The Canucks are hoping to build off Saturdays 3-2 overtime victory against the Calgary Flames. With that win, the Canucks improved to 9-0-2 in one-goal games. Ryan Miller made 26 saves for his 17th win of the year and his first since December 2nd and will get the start again tonight. Jannik Hansen, who collapsed on the bench after his first shift of the second period, will not dress tonight. The Canucks, in consultation with specialists, have determined that further evaluation is required before he is cleared to play. With just four goals in their past four games, the Canucks offense could use a jump start. A number of Canucks forwards are struggling offensively: Bo Horvat has gone 12 games without a goal, Jannik Hansen has gone 11 since his November 23rd hattrick vs Chicago, Henrik Sedin, Alex Burrows and Chris Higgins have all gone 9 without putting a puck in the net, Linden Vey has gone 8 games and Daniel Sedin is five games without a goal. In an effort to boost the 2nd unit power play, the Canucks may try Derek Dorsett as a net-front presence. After tangling with Derek Engelland on Saturday, Dorsett now leads the team with seven fighting majors, is second in the league in that department and third in the NHL with 75 penalty minutes. The Canucks penalty killing is on a roll going 10 for 10 in its past four games and 23 for 24 (95.8%) in eight games in December. The only power play goal the Canucks have surrendered this month was David Legwands 5-on-3 goal in Ottawa on December 7th. On tthe other hand, the Coyotes gave up a pair of power play goals in a 4-2 loss in Los Angeles on Saturday and are 29th in the NHL in PK (75. Josh Manson Jersey. 2%). The Desert Dogs are 1-5-1 in their past seven games and 2-7-2 in their past 11 – with both wins coming against the Edmonton Oilers. Their last victory over any other NHL team was one month ago November 22nd 4-3 O/T against San Jose and their last regulation victory against another NHL opponent was a 5-0 triumph on November 14th over the Canucks. The Yotes have four wins since beating the Canucks – three are against Edmonton. Devan Dubnyk, who made 35 saves when he blanked the Canucks last month, has started Arizonas last three games (1-1-1). However, Mike Smith gets the start tonight. Smith has not played since December 11th and has not won since December 1st. Dave Tippett coached his 900th NHL game on Saturday in L-A. Martin Hanzal had a natural hattrick (with his 2nd and 3rd goals just nine seconds apart) against the Canucks on November 14th. He has scored once in 11 games since and Shane Doan had a goal in that game and has scored just once in 15 games since. Hanzal is 2nd in the NHL in face-off percentage at 58.3%. The Coyotes have blanked the Canucks in two straight and three of their last four meetings. Kevin Bieksa in overtime last January 26th is the last Canuck to score against Arizona. This game features three of the NHLs top shooting defensemen (Yandle & Oliver Ekman-Larsson are T-2 with 100 apiece and Alex Edler is eighth with 89) and three of the top 8 shot-blockers in the league (Michael Stone is T-4 with 83 while Zybnek Michalek and Chris Tanev are T-6 with 80).
