SAN JOSE, Calif. cheap jerseys from china . -- The Vancouver Canucks have relied on their depth throughout the regular season and into their post-season run. That key element of the teams success could be tested in the Western Conference finals with defencemen Christian Erhoff and Aaron Rome both questionable for Sundays Game 4 in San Jose against the Sharks. The Canucks called for reinforcements, bringing up rookie Chris Tanev after Erhoff and Rome left Friday nights game with injuries. Erhoff took a hit in the first period from the Sharks Jamie McGinn, and Rome was helped off the ice in the final nine minutes of the match, also after a hit from McGinn. Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault was unwilling to divulge his plans for the Canucks blue-line, though he said Tanev was brought to San Jose so the team could have seven healthy defencemen. "One of the things that we have given ourselves is more depth on defence," Vigneault said. "Weve worked at making sure guys who werent in the lineup were staying ready. They know at one point or another we might need them." Tanev, who plays for the American Hockey Leagues Manitoba Moose, has never appeared in an NHL playoff game. He has yet to hear anything official from the Canucks, but making the trip has to mean something. "Im here, well see what happens," Tanev said. "Im here to help the guys." Erhoff and Rome were not at Sharks Ice -- San Joses practice facility and the site of Saturdays brief workouts. Then again, Sami Salo, Ryan Kesler, Kevin Bieksa, and Maxim Lapierre were also no-shows. "Whoever we use, Im confident theyre going to do real well for us," Vigneault said. "Weve dealt with injuries and weve been able to handle it well." Sparingly-used veterans Andrew Alberts and Keith Ballard could see some ice time. However, Alberts hasnt played since May 3 and Ballard has appeared in a combined five games during the first two playoff series. "Its been the same story all year," Ballard said. "We have to use our depth and if it happens Im excited to get back in. When two guys that have been playing well go down, its not the ideal situation." Ballard has been watching the action lately from a seat in the press box, even though hes healthy and says hes prepared. "I have to play well if I get the chance," Ballard said. "Ive had a lot of ups and downs this year and I dont think Ive been nearly as consistent as I need to be." If Ballard does see the ice, it only means the Canucks are running out of defenders. Vigneault said it could be Ballards opportunity. "He probably has an opportunity to step in and show us what he can do," Vigneault said. "Were confident hell be good if we need him." Tanev, meanwhile, was rushed to the Bay Area for Saturdays practice. He arrived just in time to get a nice workout. "Its playoffs so its faster, its tougher and its more physical," Tanev said. "But I am definitely confident. If I get the chance, great, but if not Ill be rooting the guys on." cheap nfl jerseys . JOHNS, N. wholesale nfl jerseys .

Weylandt fell during a descent about 20 kilometres from the finish in Rapallo, northern Italy, and lay motionless and bleeding heavily on the roadside before paramedics cut off his helmet and tried to resuscitate him. "We arrived immediately as we were behind his group," Giro doctor Giovanni Tredici said. "He was unconscious with a fracture of the skull base and facial damage. After 40 minutes of cardiac massage we had to suspend the resuscitation because there was nothing more we could do." The Leopard-Trek riders body was covered by a sheet and taken by ambulance about an hour after the accident. "The descent was a technical one, the asphalt was smooth," said Davide Vigano, one of Weylandts teammates. "I wasnt told about what had happened during the race. Im lost for words." The riders team put a picture of a smiling Weylandt on its website with a statement "on behalf of the entire Leopard Trek team." "Today, our teammate and friend Wouter Weylandt passed away after a crash on the 3rd stage of the Giro dItalia," the statement said. "The team is left in a state of shock and sadness and we send all our thoughts and deepest condolences to the family and friends of Wouter. "This is a difficult day for cycling and for our team, and we should all seek support and strength in the people close to us." Race organizers cancelled the prize ceremony because of the crash. Spanish rider Angel Vicioso won Mondays stage, a 173-kilometre ride from Reggio Emilia to Rapallo, while David Millar of Britain took the pink jersey as overall leader. Torontos Michael Barry, who rides for Sky Procycling, finished 86th and is 33rd overall. Local investigators immediately opened an inquiry into the accident and took Weylandt to a nearby hospital for the autopsy. Leopard-Trek team manager Brian Nygaard said the rest of the teams riders would meet to decide whether they wanted to continue in the Giro, which finishes May 29 in Milan. "Im shocked and saddened. May he rest in peace," seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong said on Twitter. Last year, on May 10, Weylandt won the third stage of the Giro on its final dayy in the Netherlands. cheap nfl jerseys. His other main tour stage victory came in the 2008 Spanish Vuelta when he won the 17th stage from Zamora to Valladolid. Weylandt was the first rider killed in a crash in one of cyclings three main tours since Italian rider Fabio Casartelli died during the 1995 Tour de France. At the Giro, Weylandt is the fourth cyclist to die during the race and the first in 25 years. Orfeo Ponsin died in 1952, Juan Manuel Santisteban in 1976 and Emilio Ravasio in 1986. "Things like this shouldnt happen. Absolutely sick to the stomach," British cyclist Mark Cavendish said on Twitter. "My thoughts are with his family. RIP Wouter Weylandt." In 2009, Pedro Horrillo was induced into a coma after falling 60 metres over a guard rail into a ravine during the eighth stage of the Giro. The following day, the peleton deliberately rode slowly to protest against safety conditions for riders. In March 2003, Kazakh rider Andrei Kivilev died after he fell from his bike and fractured his skull while not wearing a helmet during the Paris-Nice stage race. The International Cycling Union subsequently made the wearing of hard helmets compulsory. Weylandt joined the newly formed Leopard-Trek team at the start of the 2011 season, viewing it as his big break in racing alongside Frank and Andy Schleck and Fabian Cancellara. The move followed six years spent with Quick Step, during which time he rode as a support cyclist for Tom Boonen. UCI President Pat McQuaid issued a statement offering "sympathies to all members of Weylandts family, all his friends and teammates, but also to all his colleagues on the Giro, who will have to overcome their grief to continue in the race." Italian cycling federation president Renato Di Rocco said Weylandts death left the sport "in anguish." "My first thoughts go to his family, his teammates, managers and technicians and the Belgian cycling federation, to which the entire cycling community offers its support," Di Rocco said. "We are all affected by this grief, caused by the imponderable, which is always a risk despite the measures made to insure maximum safety. "From that point of view, the organizers did everything possible with great professionalism and timeliness. Faced with a tragedy like this no words are adequate." Weylandt is survived by a pregnant girlfriend. ' ' '
