The Vancouver Canucks may have found a nice option to skate alongside the Sedins on their top line. Randy Moss Jersey . Numbers Game breaks down the Canucks signing of Radim Vrbata. The Canucks Get: RW Radim Vrbata. Vrbata is a 33-year-old winger who has been quietly effective while toiling in the Arizona desert. Hes scored 110 goals and 232 points over the past five seasons, the 110 goals ranks 36th in the league. Hes a positive puck possession player and should be looking at a plum opportunity in Vancouver. If there is one enviable spot for a scoring forward to play in the Canucks lineup, it would be on right wing with the Sedin twins and thats where Vrbata is projected to start. Last seasons 51 points was Vrbatas third-best total of his career, and that came with a 7.6% shooting percentage, his lowest in a full season since 2006-2007. He also had an on-ice shooting percentage of 7.69%, which is relatively modest, and while the Sedins were in that range last season too, they have typically had better success finishing. There is justifiably some concern that Vrbata is 33 and the Sedins will be 34 by the time next season begins, so production may be declining as a function of age -- standard stuff -- but, based on their respective skills, Vrbata and the Sedins should be productive together. An additional concern, when it comes to Vrbata in particular, is that hes had limited success while playing for a team other than the Coyotes. He has 288 points in 428 games with the Coyotes, 0.67 per game, but hes never been that productive anywhere else, averaging 0.48 points per game in 364 games with Colorado, Carolina, Chicago and Tampa Bay. Until they add another top-six forward, Arizona figures to miss Vrbata. They dont have a ton of skill up front and, unless Sam Gagner moves to the wing (opening up a hole at centre), the Coyotes current wingers on the top two lines would be Mikkel Boedker, Shane Doan, Martin Erat and Lauri Korpikoski. Thats a situation that needs to be addressed if Arizona is going to be competitive next season. Its reasonable to have hopes for Vrbata to remain productive, playing with skilled linemates, but there are a few risks involved too. The Canucks mitigated against those risks by keeping the term of Vrbatas deal short, signing him for two years and $10-million.

AMIR JOHNSON: Nice to see him back in the lineup Tuesday night in Washington DC. Played with great energy and purpose. Its amazing when a guy gets those few precious days to recover what it does to the bounce in their step and overall game/confidence. Dalvin Cook Jersey .S. womens soccer team to a 2-0 win over China in Colorado in the afternoon. http://www.authenticvikingspro.com/ . Unlike last year when nobody got in, there have been estimates of as many as five getting voted in this time around and as few as one, Greg Maddux.Austin, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - A Top-25 matchup is on tap at the Frank Erwin Center on Saturday afternoon, as the 11th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks and 17th- ranked Texas Longhorns square off in a Big 12 battle. Bill Selfs Jayhawks are sitting pretty atop the Big 12 standings, tied with Iowa State at 4-1, although Kansas lone league loss came at Iowa State last weekend. The team was able to get some distance from that setback however, with Mondays 85-78 win over nationally-ranked Oklahoma. It was the teams sixth win in the last seven games and moved Kansas to 15-3 overall. Rick Barnes Longhorns are a game back in the conference standings at 3-2. Texas enters with a brief two-game win streak in tow, including the most recent outing, a 66-48 rout of TCU in the road on Monday. The Erwin Center has been a safe haven for Texas, which is 9-2 at home this season and 234-34 all- time in the building in Barnes tenure. This is the 32nd all-time meeting in this series, with Kansas holding a sizable 23-8 advantage. The Jayhawks have won five of the last six meetings and nine of the last 11 overall. Kansas was able to post its 18th straight win in the Allen Fieldhouse with a strong performance against a very good Oklahoma squad. The Jayhawks used a barrage of 3-pointers in the first half, tying the school record with nine treys in the first 20 minutes, leading to a 51-32 edge at intermission. Overall, Kansas rolled up 85 points on a solid .483 shooting, as five Jayhawks finished in double figures. Kelly Oubre Jr. led the way with 19 points. Perry Ellis poured in 16, followed by Cliff Alexander (13 pts), Brannen Greene (12 pts) and Frank Mason III (10 pts). Brett Favre Jersey. The offensive outburst was a bit shocking, considering Kansas hasnt really been a juggernaut this season. The team has posted modest numbers overall, averaging 72.3 ppg on .435 shooting. KU has been dominant at times on the glass, where it sports a +7.1 rebounding margin. Ellis is tops on the team in scoring (12.8 ppg) and rebounding (6.7 rpg). Mason is an all-around threat, showing the ability to score (12.7 ppg), rebound (4.0 rpg), distribute (team- high 4.2 apg) and play tight defense (team-high 25 steals). Texas isnt going to blow out opponents with gaudy offensive performances either. The Longhorns are actually averaging just 69.9 ppg this season, but make up for it with exceptional defensive play. UT is among the nations best in scoring defense (15th at 56.8 ppg), field-goal percentage defense (fourth at .344) and rebounding margin (second at +12.2). There arent any prolific scoring options on the roster, but rather a collection of solid contributors. Myles Turner leads the way with his 11.8 ppg. He is followed closely by Jonathan Holmes (11.4 ppg), Isaiah Taylor (11.4 ppg) and Javan Felix (10.5 ppg). The Longhorns held the Horned Frogs to just .333 shooting, while connecting on .480 from the floor in the victory earlier in the week. Texas also held a 40-31 edge in rebounding and blocked nine TCU shots in the game. Felix led four Longhorns in double figures with 15 points. Taylor added 13 points, followed by Turner and Cameron Ridley, who checked in with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
