TORONTO — Out of the world junior championship with a high ankle sprain, Robby Fabbri cant lead Canada on the ice. But he led the team into Air Canada Centre on Sunday, making his way on crutches.Fabbri was injured early in Canadas rout of Denmark in the quarter-finals and was ruled out for the rest of the tournament. Now he is reduced to cheering from the stands while his teammates rally around him.We all know who were playing for now, winger Max Domi said. To see that happen to anyone, especially one of your teammates, one of your buddies, it sucks. Were playing for him now.Fabbri, a St. Louis Blues prospect who plays for the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League, appreciates his friends dedicating their finish at the world juniors to him. Understandably upset hes not able to take the ice with them, the Mississauga, Ont., native is doing his best to make it through a tough time.I just come to the rink every day and supporting the guys and make sure Im not bringing anyone down, the 18-year-old Fabbri said. Just happy to be here and happy to support the guys.Fabbri had two goals and four assists in the first four games of the tournament, playing on Canadas second line alongside Connor McDavid and Curtis Lazar. He got tangled up with Danish defenceman Anders Krogsgaard just a few minutes into Friday nights game and went down in pain.Somehow my leg ended up behind me almost touching my head, said Fabbri, who watched the replay of his injury. It was an unfortunate play and theres nothing you can do about it.Brayden Point stepped into Fabbris spot next to McDavid and will be there again for Sunday nights semifinal game against Slovakia. Point had been Canadas 13th forward.Coach Benoit Groulx said he was glad that Point was getting a chance but upset it came at the expense of losing Fabbri.Its very disappointing for him, obviously, Groulx said. Such a nice person and hes a great competitor. When you look at Robby Fabbri, when you look at the player itself, hes a very good hockey player. But what separates him from other players is how competitive he is and how much he wants to make the difference out there.Fabbri wont be able to make a difference the rest of the way for Canada, which all along has been favoured to win gold on home ice. It was not clear how much time Fabbri would miss for Guelph.Not all high ankle sprains are the same, but Toronto Maple Leafs winger Brandon Kozun recently missed more than six weeks with one.Fabbri said a couple of St. Louis staffers reached out to him along with star forwards T.J. Oshie and Jaden Schwartz. Fabbri is considered one of the Blues top prospects.In Blues camp this past fall, Fabbri was a huge surprise before suffering an upper-body injury. This is another blow.Ive had a little bit of a tough year this year, in St. Louis as well, Fabbri said. Everything happens for a reason and you just have to build off it and build character.Fabbri barely got to enjoy playing close to home at Air Canada Centre but is still a part of the camaraderie this group has been building for weeks. His teammates are glad hes still around and dont take his upbeat mood for granted.Hes a great guy on and off the ice, and his attitude is still really positive and hasnt changed at all, Domi said. Were going to need that from him.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Matt Andriese Jersey .Y. -- Syracuses streak lives on -- barely. Eduardo Escobar Jersey . This is an exercise I have undertaken a few times, starting in 2009, and hope that Ive refined my approach a little bit in that time to help paint a better picture. https://www.cheapdiamondbacksjerseys.us/...amondbacks.html. -- The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed cornerback Perrish Cox to a one-year contract. Jimmie Sherfy Jersey .C. - Steve Clifford isnt exactly singing his teams praises after the Bobcats won for the sixth time in seven games. Tim Locastro Jersey . - The Florida Panthers are getting some Army training to finish off their preparations for the season.PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles cleaned out their lockers, packed their bags and headed home after becoming only the third team since 1990 to miss the playoffs following a 9-3 start.While 12 NFL teams get set for a run at the Super Bowl, the Eagles (10-6) are among those preparing for a long off-season. It was a disappointing finish for a team that expected to contend after winning the NFC East title in Kellys first season.So, now what?Chip Kelly isnt going anywhere and he plans to retain his coaches. Nick Foles isnt guaranteed the starting job at quarterback. LeSean McCoy could be trade bait. Jeremy Maclin will become a free agent.And the defence needs work. Plenty of it.Our goal is to win this thing and to do that, you have to look at everything, no matter what it is, Kelly said. You dont know what presents itself, so you have to take a look at everything and say, Hey, what do we think? When the chance or an opportunity comes, you have no idea what youre going to get, but (you say), Can this help make us a better organization? We have to make decisions based on that.Heres some things to look for in Philadelphias offseason:FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK: Neither Kelly nor owner Jeffrey Lurie gave Foles a strong endorsement for 2015. Foles regressed statistically after his breakout year in 2013. He was turnover-prone, but led the Eagles to a 5-2 record in games he started and finished. Mark Sanchez revived his career in Philadelphia, set a franchise-record with a 64.1 completion rate, but also made too many turnovers. Foles has one year left on his rookie contract, so should be back. Sanchez will be a free agent who should get offers to compete for a starting job somewhere.I expect to be the quarterback, Foles said.FREE AGENCY: Re-signing Maclin after his best season one year removed from ACL surgery is a priority. Cornerback Bradley Fletcher, safety Nate Allen, linebackers Brandon Graham and Casey Matthews and wide receiver Brad Smith also will be unrestricted free agents. Defensive end Cedric Thornton and running back Chris Polk will be restricted. Fletcher struggled and ended the season benched. He isnt expeected to return.dddddddddddd Everyone else is in the mix.CAP SPACE: The Eagles will carry over nearly $16 million in cap space from last year so theyll have room to pursue free agents, keep players they want and extend a few contracts. McCoy, who is heading to his third Pro Bowl, counts for almost $12 million on the cap in 2015. Kelly wants him back, but it wouldnt be a surprise if he was asked to restructure his deal. Linebacker Trent Coles cap number is $11.6 million, so the 32-year-old former Pro Bowler will have to take a pay cut to stay here. Same for cornerback Cary Williams, who counts for $8.2 million against the cap. Linebacker DeMeco Ryans ($6.9 million) is coming off surgery for an Achilles, but Kelly made it clear hes important to the defence and the team.KELLY VS. ROSEMAN: Kellys one-word response good when asked about his working relationship with GM Howie Roseman suggested perhaps theres friction between the two men. Kelly praised Roseman for his work on contracts and the salary cap, but also made it clear he has final say on roster decisions and personnel. Roseman, however, takes pride in making football decisions and his 2012 draft suggests he knows what hes doing. Kelly lauded Tom Gamble, the vice-president of player personnel as a heck of a football guy and said hed support him if he got the opportunity to be a GM for another team. Stay tuned.GETTING DEFENSIVE: The front seven made progress in the second year under defensive co-ordinator Billy Davis. But the secondary allowed more big plays than any in the league and needs revamping. The Eagles could change three-fourths of the starting unit, bringing back only safety Malcolm Jenkins. Davis job is safe, even though he came under scrutiny for allowing Fletcher to cover top receivers such as Dez Bryant and DeSean Jackson one-on-one with the season on the line.I thought our transition from coming in here and playing a Wide-9, 4-3 defence to a 3-4 defence over last two years, I think Billy has done a really good job, Kelly said.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi ' ' '
