SOCHI, Russia -- The Russians are practicing for the first time since NHL players arrived for the Olympics, and captain Pavel Datsyuk is the only skater not on the ice. An injury recently kept Datsyuk out of the Detroit Red Wings lineup for more than a month. The star forward posed for a team picture Monday in full uniform before skating off the ice. "I dont think its a serious problem, dangerous. I think hes going to be okay," said Russian coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov. Datsyuk was in Detroits last two games before the Olympic break, playing less than he usually does. It was the first time he played since the Winter Classic on New Years Day. The Red Wings have said he has a lower-body injury, apparently to his left knee. C.J. Wilcox Jersey . LOUIS - Lance Lynn bounced back from his worst start of the season with 6 2-3 scoreless innings and the St. Spencer Hawes Jersey . Jarome Iginla and Zdeno Chara each had two goals, Tuukka Rask made 25 saves and the Bruins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1 Saturday. http://www.nbaclippersofficial.com/womens-chris-paul-authentic-jersey/ . Ortega played 42 games for Double-A Tulsa in the Texas League last season before sustaining a hairline fracture on his shin. Spencer Hawes Clippers Jersey . The solutions? Not so much. Given an extra week to stew over the worst start in 45 years, Tomlin is tweaking the lineup hoping to find a spark that will help his team begin the long road back to respectability. C.J. Wilcox Clippers . The Lions traded their fifth overall pick in the 2014 CFL Draft to the Ottawa Redblacks for QB Kevin Glenn.Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week, they discuss the possible playoff format in NCAA football, the honouring of Russ Jackson, goal line technology in soccer and the year-end NHL awards. Dave Naylor, TSN: My thumb is up to the NCAA for trying its best to establish a true champion in college football by proposing a four-team playoff format starting in 2014. The only problem is that a previously imperfect system is going to be replaced by one that is, well, imperfect. In college basketball, no one complains when Murray State is granted a 16th seed ahead of College of Charleston, because neither one of them is going to win a title. But what about when Alabama gets the nod for one of four football playoff spots ahead of LSU? Its going to lead to bickering, whining and complaining … ah but in a sport where tradition means so much, what would college football be without that? Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to Canadas Walk of Fame for the honouring of Russ Jackson this year, however overdue as this may be. In this, the year of the 100th Grey Cup, it is ever important to look back at our history and theres no better place to start than with the greatest Canadian player in the history of the Canadian league. Russ Jackson played quarterback like few before him and no one since and for four decades weve searched for a Canadian, anyone, to replace him. There has been no replacement. Maybe there never willl be.dddddddddddd Now Canadians who dont know, never saw him play, maybe never heard of him, will have a chance to understand what once was. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: With some trepidation, my thumb is up to soccer goal line technology. Ukraines non-goal against England in Euro 2012 this week nudged me over the edge. I fret when technology overwhelms sport like in the NFL, where replay challenges initially designed to overturn serious errors are used to determine the spot of the ball. But goals in soccer are so relatively rare, it is incumbent on FIFA to get it right. The irony, of course, is officials blew an offside call on Ukraines non-goal. But soccer can live with that. A ball crossing the line and not counting, even this luddite knows its time for technology. Dave Hodge, TSN: I could get a lot more interested in the NHLs individual trophies if they were awarded while hockey was still being played, but a couple of results from Las Vegas caught my eye. A while back, I predicted my reaction to a Lady Byng win by Brian Campbell (good for him), but the first defenceman to win the award should have been, some time in his great career, Nick Lidstrom. And I cant say I was surprised when Gabriel Landeskog won the Calder Trophy, because voters saw a lot more of him than Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. A bit facetious there, because the Edmonton rookie had the same number of points as Landeskog while playing 20 fewer games. Injuries should not have cost RNH the Calder. ' ' '
