Two weeks after making critical remarks regarding NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, Washington Capitals defenceman Roman Hamrlik clarified some of his statements on Monday re-affirming his support for the players. "Maybe some people they took it too personal," said Hamrlik, who just returned from his native Czech Republic last week. "Its nothing against Don [Fehr] or some other people and the NHLPA. Im behind them and I always was and I always will be. "Everybody has different opinions and I think we should have started talking a bit earlier, that was my biggest point." While staying in the Czech Republic, Hamrlik raised a lot of eyebrows after speaking out about his displeasure with how the lockout was being handled. "I am disgusted," he told Daily Sport just over two weeks ago. "We have to push Fehr to the wall to get the deal. Time is against us. We lost [one-quarter] of the season, it is $425 million. Who will give it back to us? Mr. Fehr?" Hamrliks comments drew criticism from other players, but the veteran defenceman didnt back down. "Ive been in the league for 20 years and faced three lockouts," Hamrlik later told TSNs Thats Hockey. "Theres only 14 other players in the league that are facing their third career lockout. I believe Ive earned the right to say what I think." On Monday, Hamrlik had softened his stance but remained focused on finding a resolution that would get the players back on the ice. "I talked to some players back home, some guys disagree and some guys agree with me," he said. "We are in the same situation, we are in the same boat, everybody is together and Im 100 percent behind the players. "When you look back its not about what I said, or what he said, or what they said. Its all about making a solution quickly and hopefully bringing a good solution to the table and start playing." Hamrlik added that hes tried to reach Fehr, but was unable to speak to him directly and believes he will speak to him soon. "This week is going to be crucial I think and its going to be interesting," he said. cheap nfl jerseys china .

Yet it was a Swiss rookie and a kid playing his first NHL game who helped them avoid an 0-2 start.PHILADELPHIA -- Brandon Jennings bobbled the ball once, twice, then let it fly. His shaky ballhandling was erased by the steady aim of his 3-point shot. Jennings hit the go-ahead 3 late in the fourth quarter and finished with 33 points, eight assists, and four steals to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 105-96 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. "It was actually a big shot for us because they had the momentum," Jennings said. "It just gave us back the momentum." Monta Ellis scored 18 points and had seven assists, and Mike Dunleavy had 13 to help the Bucks improve to 3-0 on the road for the first time since they won their first four in 2001-02. Jennings and Ellis combined to make 20 of 41 shots with 10 rebounds and 15 assists. Mike Dunleavy scored 13 points and the Bucks shot around 60 per cent most of the game. After Jennings 3 put the Bucks up 92-89, Dunleavy buried a 3 with 2:44 left to stretch Milwaukees lead to 10. Led by Dorell Wright, the Sixers sizzled from 3-point range until the end, but they simply didnt have long-range makes left in them to make this one a game. They also couldnt stop Jennings drives to the basket off the pick and roll. He also hit four 3-pointers and was 5 of 5 from the free-throw line. Jennings made a nice recovery on the winning 3 after nearly losing the ball and adding to Milwaukees total of 23 turnovers. "He kept his poise there and put it in," coach Scott Skiles said. Jrue Holiday had 25 points and a whopping eight turnovers for the Sixers. Jason Richardson scored 20 points and Wright had 14. The Sixers made 10 of 24 3-pointers. The Sixers were rolling coming off their first 3-0 road trip since 2003. But they received a dose of bad news earlier in the day when they learned centre Andrew Bynum will miss at least five more weeks because of a bone bruise in his right knee and may not play in a game until early January. The Sixers said the new goal was for Bynum to resume "normal basketball activity" around Dec. 10. He would then need 1-4 weeks of conditioning and practice before he can play in his first game for the 76ers. He has yet to even practice with them this season. Holiday was rewarded with a $41 million, four-year contract at the start of the season and might be feeling a dose of pressure trying to run the offence without his big man. He had his fouurth straight game of at least seven turnovers, a big no-no if he wants to become an elite point guard.dddddddddddd. "I think Im trying to make something happen," Holiday said. "Sometimes you just have to be patient. Im learning, Im watching film every day and trying to learn from my mistakes." For all the hype surrounding Bynum, he was far from the only big piece acquired in the off-season. Richardson, picked up in the same four-team deal that landed Bynum, Young and Wright all were expected to bolster a team fresh off a surprising run to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Trailing by as many as 14 points in the first half, Richardson, Young and Wright got to work to rally Philadelphia in the third. The Sixers went on a 16-3 run to pull within three. Young and Richardson hit consecutive 3s to make it a two-point game and Holiday sank a pull-up jumper to close the quarter and tie the game at 83. Richardson missed the last four games with a sprained left ankle. No rust here. Richardson scored 10 points in the first, including a highlight-reel worth 360 dunk off a fastbreak to send the crowd into a frenzy. His scoring boost wasnt enough early. "I think we hadnt focused like we had the past three games," Richardson said. "I think we kind of felt like it was going to be an easy win, like they were going to lie down." Nope. Keyed by six straight points from Jennings, the Bucks snapped a tie game with a 14-0 run in the second quarter. The Bucks were only shooting 45 per cent from the floor over the first five games, but blew that number away in the first half, shooting 64 per cent (23 of 36) to lead 62-50 at the break. Jennings 19 points by halftime were well above his season average of 13.8 a game. "In the first half, he was just spreading the ball around nicely and getting the guys involved," Skiles said. "When it came time for him to score some points, he did that as well." NOTES: Jennings leads the NBA with 3.4 steals a game. Hes had seven straight multiple-steal games. ... The Sixers play seven of their next eight games at home. ... The Sixers scored only 13 points in the fourth quarter. ... The Bucks went 16 of 18 from the FT line while the Sixers were 12 of 16. ... The Bucks outscored the Sixers 42-24 in the paint. ... Larry Sanders had nine rebounds to give the Bucks a 48-31 edge on the boards. ' ' '
