VANCOUVER -- Its a situation not of his making, but Bo Horvat understands the quandary he faces with the Vancouver Canucks. Until the first-round NHL draft pick proves his value to the rabid Canuck fan base, Horvat will be identified as the player Vancouver received in the trade for goaltender Cory Schneider. Trying to replace one of the Canucks more popular figures is a big load to carry, even for someone with Horvats wide shoulders. "I dont think there is any pressure," Horvat said Wednesday. "Im trying not to think about it too much. Its always going to be out there and everyone is going to be asking how I feel about it. "Im just going out there and playing my game and do what I do best. I want to focus on my game and prove I can be part of the Vancouver Canuck organization and prove to everyone they made the right decision." Only time will tell if the Horvat trade will pay the same dividends as the draft-day dealings that saw Daniel and Henrik Sedin come to Vancouver. It could also come back to haunt the Canucks, like the trade that sent Cam Neely and a first-round draft pick to Boston for Barry Pederson. For now, the six-foot, 211-pound centre with the OHL London Knights is content to be one of 38 young players attending the Canucks prospect camp this week at Rogers Arena. "Im just trying to sink in everything I learn here," said the 18-year-old who grew up in Rodney, Ont. "They are doing a great job of getting us prepared for what is coming in the future, whether its main camp or next season." Canuck general manager Mike Gillis made the decision to trade Schneider after over a year of fruitless efforts to deal Roberto Luongo and his huge contract. The Canucks dealt Schneider to New Jersey on draft day for the Devils No. 9 pick, which they used to take Horvat. Horvat fits the bill for several Canuck needs. Hes a big centre who scored 33 goals and added 28 assists in 67 regular-season games for the Knights. He also was named the most valuable player of the OHL playoffs. With many of their key players over 30 years old, the Canucks want to get younger. "Thats great to hear," said Horvat. "I know a lot of teams in the NHL are going younger now. "To hear that . . . it really makes we want to work that much harder to prove myself, that I can be in the lineup." Not every first-round pick is ready for prime time in the NHL, but Horvat confidently talks like he could play with Vancouver this year. "I feel Im ready," he said. "Theres always things I have to work on and can get better at. "I want to go out there and prove . . . I can stay up this year." The prospect camp involves the typical on-ice drills. There are also some not so typical off-ice activities like mixed martial arts training, yoga sessions and a trip up the gruelling Grouse Grind, a three-kilometre hike that climbs more than 850 metres. "It was something," said Horvat. "You keep staring at a mountain for two miles. "Its definitely a grind. Im glad I can say Ive done it now." Horvat laughed when asked about his yoga skills. "They are a little shaky," he said. "I have to start working on that and get a little more flexible. "It was a great experience. I havent done yoga like that before." Horvat was one of several prospects who visited BC Childrens Hospital Wednesday to meet the young patients and hand out hockey cards. Joining him was another Vancouver prospect who has spent time in the Canuck dressing room before. Cole Cassels, selected 85th overall from the OHL Oshawa Generals, is the son of Andrew Cassels, who spent three of his 16 NHL seasons in Vancouver. He remembers coming to practices with his father. "The Sedins were really young, they were my age I think," said the 18-year-old who had 15 goals and 43 points in 64 games last season for Oshawa. Cassels considers himself a play-making centre. "I use my teammates well," he said. "They seem to get open for me. I can put the puck on their stick. I think my hockey sense is one of my better attributes." Being a later-round pick, Cassels also knows his game needs improving. "I need to be a lot stronger," said the six foot, 178-pound native of Columbus, Ohio. "Quicker and stronger. Maybe get a little bit more selfish and shoot the puck some more." Growing up Cassels wanted to follow his father into the NHL but never thought he would end up a Canuck. "When you are young you are just dreaming about it," he said. "When you are 17 or 18, it becomes a reality. "The thought never popped in my head I would be in the same room he was." Ozzie Newsome Jersey . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . Austin Seibert Jersey . Deulofeu injured a muscle in his right leg in Evertons 4-1 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday. Barcelona says that its team doctors will "co-ordinate" with Evertons medical staff as Deulofeu recovers. http://www.footballbrownsnflprostore.com/Youth-Ozzie-Newsome-Elite-Jersey/ . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. Greedy Williams Jersey .

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson running back Wayne Gallman said he expects to play against Florida State after suffering a concussion against NC State on Oct. 15, though he wont practice in full pads before Thursday.Im fine, Im ready to play, he said Monday.Gallman went through a concussion protocol during Clemsons bye last week, and while he said he did not experience headaches and does not believe he suffered a concussion, the school had diagnosed him as concussed.Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott was a bit less certain on Gallmans availability.He looks fine and were hopeful, Elliott said.Gallman was knocked unconscious by NC State safety Dravious Wright after catching a pass in the first quarter of the Tigers win two weeks ago, and he said he doesnt remember anything after that until he returned to the training room nearly 20 minutes later. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Gallman had argued with trainers that he wanted to stay in the game at the time of the injury, but Gallman said he has no recollection of that.I just remember catching the ball, making the move, going north and after that, I dont remember anything at all until I got back to the training room, Gallman said. It was like I went to sleep and woke up in the training room. I saw a video of myself walkingg and I dont even remember that.ddddddddddddGallman returned to the sideline in street clothes for the second half of the game, and as Clemsons chances for winning appeared on life support following two red-zone turnovers, he begged Swinney to let him back into the game.A little revenge might also have been on Gallmans mind, too. He said hes seen replays of the hit, which does appear to show some helmet-to-helmet contact, and believes Wrights hit was intentionally dirty.You saw him lead with his head, Gallman said. I wanted somebody to hurt him that was in the game if they could. I wasnt able to be in.Gallman said it was his understanding that Clemson turned the tape into the league for review and the ACC ruled the hit was not targeting. Wright was not penalized for the hit at the time of the play.Gallman set Clemsons single-season rushing record last year and is the teams leading rusher so far this season. After he left the game against NC State, his replacements -- C.J. Fuller, Adam Choice and Tyshon Dye -- rushed 22 times for 67 yards and coughed up a fumble near NC States goal line.Elliott says Fuller will start if Gallman is unavailable. ' ' '
