VANCOUVER -- The list of Toronto Maple Leaf injuries grew Saturday when centre Dave Bolland was taken to hospital for surgery after suffering a cut on his left leg. China Jerseys Wholesale . On Monday, the team announced Bolland had undergone successful surgery in Vancouver "to repair a a severed tendon on the outside of his left ankle." and will be out indefinitely. Bolland was hurt early in the second period of Torontos 4-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks when he was taken into the boards by Zack Kassian. Kassians skate appeared to hit the back of Bollands leg. The 27-year-old from Mimico, Ont., instantly crumpled to the ice. He was attempting to get back on his feet when Kassian scored the games second goal. Bolland had to be helped to the bench by teammates. After the game, Toronto coach Randy Carlyle could offer few details but compared Bollands injury to the one suffered last year by Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators. Karlsson missed 10 weeks when his Achilles tendon was partially sliced while being checked into the boards by Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins. "He suffered a cut similar to the Karlsson injury," said Carlyle. "I dont know the severity or which tendon, but he did suffer a cut into that area." Moments after Carlyle spoke to reporters Bolland hobbled out of the Toronto dressing room on crutches. He was loaded onto a stretcher to be taken to hospital. "I havent really saw it," Carlyle said of the play. "I know Kassian went into finish his check. I cant comment other than that." Kassian said it was a clean hit. "I havent seen it again, or really looked," he said. "I just went in to finish my hit. I am not sure what even happened to him. "I went in there hard to finish my hit, I dont know what happened but it was a clean hit. I know it was clean so no talking about that." The Leafs are already without top centre Tyler Bozak and defenceman Mark Fraser. Goaltender James Reimer said Bollands injury will hurt the team. "Losing a guy like that, hes been real solid for us, probably one of our best players for the last couple of games," said Reimer, who faced 47 shots in the loss. "Its real tough to lose him but having said that, as a team we have to find a way to rally around him and play well for him and try to win one for him." Bolland came to the Leafs this year in a trade from Chicago. In 15 games he has six goals and four assists. Cheap Jerseys From China . A 23-year-old rookie, Stroman is 4-2 with a 3.44 earned run average in 12 games this season, the past seven of those being starts. He logged the first scoreless outing of his career on Friday versus Oakland in a no-decision. China Jerseys Cheap . Venable and Jeremy Hermida drove in three runs apiece, and the Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 7-2 on Sunday to snap a nine-game losing streak. https://www.chinajerseyscheap.us/ . -- Canadian Erik Bedard pitched into the fifth inning in his bid to win a spot in Tampa Bays rotation, helping the Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 on Saturday. CALGARY -- Canada doesnt have obvious candidates in goal for the 2014 Olympic mens hockey tournament. Thats unusual for a country accustomed to familiar faces in net when Canadas men step on the international hockey stage. Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur were considered the worlds best goaltenders in their prime, with Curtis Joseph, Eddie Belfour and Marty Turco also regular wearers of the Maple Leaf. But even the man who backstopped Canada to Olympic gold in 2010 doesnt assume hell inherit the starting job in Sochi, Russia, in February. Roberto Luongos 34 saves, including four in overtime, lifted Canada to a 3-2 victory over the United States for the gold medal in Vancouver. "Its an open competition and whoever plays best deserves to be the starter," Luongo said upon arrival in Calgary for orientation camp. "You work hard and you want to be rewarded for your efforts. If Im going to be there, I want to deserve it." Luongo, Corey Crawford, Braden Holtby, Carey Price and Mike Smith were the five goalies among the 47 players summoned to Calgary for informational meetings and player bonding, but no skating. The cost of insuring what Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson said was $1.5 billion in player contracts was deemed too high to put them on skates. The coaches intended to walk the players through systems Monday on a boarded-up ice surface at Canada Olympic Park. Brodeur, 41, wasnt invited to orientation camp, nor was Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins, even though both goalies were on the Canadian team in 2010. Devan Dubnyk was one of Canadas goalies at the last four world championships, but the Edmonton Oiler was also left off the orientation camp roster. Crawford won a Stanley Cup in June with Chicago and is one of five Blackhawks at orientation camp. But the 28-year-old from Montreal has yet to represent Canada internationally. "Ive worked hard the last couple years and (tried) to prove myself," Crawford said. Smith, of the Phoenix Coyotes, got his first real taste of international hockey at this years world championships in Stockholm, where the 31-year-old posted two wins and two shootout losses. Price was outstanding in Canadas net at the 2007 world junior hockey championship on route to gold, but he too hasnt participated in a mens world championship. The 26-year-olds NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens has been a roller coaster of brilliant runs and falling out of favour. His stats this past lockout-shortened season were unimpressive. Neither his save percentage nor his goals-against average ranked among the top goalies in the NHL. &quoot;Ive had the opportunity to wear this countrys logo before," Price said. Fake China Jerseys. "When you step on that ice, it definitely gives you chills down your spine." Price married Angela Webber on Saturday before flying to Calgary. "To be honest, I didnt actually go to sleep," Price said. "I got some on the flight. You only get married once in your life. Its definitely time to take an opportunity to enjoy it." Holtby, who turns 24 next month, raised his stock during the 2012 post-season with the Washington Capitals. He was rewarded with the Caps starting job this past season, but his international experience consists of an under-18 mens world hockey championship in 2007. "My mind-set is that Im not going to put any extra, added pressure on myself," Holtby said. "My goal is to win games for the Caps. If Im winning games, thats all I can really do." Luongo remained atop Canadas goaltending depth chart a year after the 2010 Games when he took the Vancouver Canucks to within a game of winning the Stanley Cup. Hed still be considered the front runner for Sochi if not for his declining fortunes in Vancouver over the last year. Luongo had his heart set on a trade this summer after Cory Schneider had supplanted him. But Luongos contract -- worth $64 million -- was a drag on his trade prospects. The Canucks stunned Luongo by trading Schneider to New Jersey at the draft, thus bringing the 34-year-old from Montreal back as their No. 1. Its an awkward situation, although its not out of the question Luongo could make a fresh start in Vancouver under new head coach John Tortorella. "What Lous got going for him is that hes won in the past," Canadian head coach Mike Babcock said. "Ive been with him twice, at the 04 world championships and in 2010 and he wins every time. To me, hes got that confidence in himself. Hes been through a tumultuous time and I thought he handled it with extreme class and professionalism." The man ultimately responsible for assembling the 2014 mens hockey team and defending the gold medal isnt lying awake at night worrying about who his goaltenders will be in February. Steve Yzerman believes the position will sort itself out based on the goalies performances between now and December. "I think there are some new faces that are very good goaltenders," Canadas executive director said. "Roberto played on the last team. Corey Crawford is coming to camp. He just finished winning the Stanley Cup. "Things will work itself out. Im not going to worry about it here in August." ' ' '
