The family of Gordie Howe released a statement on Wednesday updating the condition of the 86-year-old hockey legend, along with their gratitude for all the well-wishes from around the hockey world. Julian Weigl Jersey . The Howe family would like to thank friends, family and fans for your overwhelming well-wishes, prayers and support for Gordie, read the statement. He suffered a significant stroke on Sunday morning while at his daughters home in Lubbock, Texas. His condition remains guarded, although he is showing some signs of improvement. We acknowledge that there is a long road to recovery ahead, but Dads spirits are good and his competitive attitude remains strong. Howes family added that those wishing to send cards or letters of support to Gordie can do so to: Gordie Howe c/o Texas Trailer Corral 12207 HWY 87 Lubbock, TX 79423 Howe, a Hall of Famer, who tallied 801 goals and 1,850 points in 26 NHL seasons, has been in Texas recovering from spinal surgery that he had 8-10 weeks ago. One of Howes sons, Dr. Murray Howe, said on Tuesday that family members have flown south to be with Gordie. Kevin Volland Jersey . Two-time Olympic bronze medallists Savchenko and Szolkowy received 79.02 points to finish ahead of world bronze medallists Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford of Canada, who had 77.01 points. Christoph Kramer Jersey . -- Manchester United thrilled a record crowd with a brilliant opening goal -- and even Cristiano Ronaldos unexpected entrance proved futile for Real Madrid. http://www.germanynationalshop.us/Marco-Reus-Germany-Jersey-Soccer/ . So what happens? Stevenson lands a huge left to Dawsons temple only 76 seconds into the opening round and walks away with the championship belt. "I said Id knock him out," said Stevenson (21-1).CAPE TOWN, South Africa - For the first time in a long time, Ivory Coast isnt the pre-tournament favourite to win the African Cup of Nations.Instead, Algeria is expected to win its first title since 1990 after being the continents best performer at last years World Cup.Ivory Coast — now without Didier Drogba — still cant be written off, and Cameroon made a rapid recovery after a terrible World Cup to be surprisingly impressive in qualifying.Here are some teams to watch out for at the 16-team African Cup in Equatorial Guinea, which starts this weekend:___ALGERIAAlgeria took eventual champion Germany to extra time in the last 16 at the World Cup in Brazil, and won its first five games in qualifying for the Cup of Nations to underline its top ranking in Africa. A change in coach after the World Cup, when Christian Gourcuff replaced Vahid Halilhodzic, didnt affect the momentum.Algerias lightning-fast attacking game is based around the skilful trio of Yacine Brahimi, Sofiane Feghouli and Islam Slimani. To prove themselves, the Algerians must first deal with being drawn in the tournaments toughest group with Ghana, Senegal and South Africa.___IVORY COASTIvory Coast goes to the African championship without retired striker Didier Drogba for the first time since 2002. So, more pressure falls on Manchester City midfielder and African player of the year Yaya Toure, who hasnt always lived up to his big reputation at the African Cup.Ivory Coasts inability to win the title since its sole success in 1992 is becoming increasingly painful for a country rich in talent.This time, the campaign will be directed by flamboyant French coach Herve Renard, who does know what it takes to lift the African Cup. He won as coach of unfancied Zambia in 2012, beating Ivory Coast in the final.On the field, Toure will also be supported by in-form forwards Wilfried Bony and Gervinho.___CAMEROONCameroons miserable World Cup was immediately shrugged off as the four-time African champions emerged as a dangerous force again late last year. Cameroons threat was epitomized by a powerful 4-1 qualifying win over Ivory Coast, which is in Cameroons group again at the final tournament. Andre Schurrle Jersey. Like Drogba, Cameroons leading striker, Samuel Etoo, retired from international soccer after the World Cup. But a new goal-scoring threat has emerged in Vincent Aboubakar, and that may foster a more balanced team after Etoo was so often the focus.Cameroon supporters just hope the player bonus saga that spoiled their World Cup doesnt play out again at the African Cup.___TUNISIAThe only other North African team at the tournament, Tunisia might fly under the radar as Algeria gets all the attention.Solid in qualifying to win a tough group containing Senegal and Egypt, Tunisia has quietly moved up to No. 2 in the continental rankings. The players and Belgian coach Georges Leekens can also be positive about being picked in a group with Zambia, Cape Verde and Congo, simpler than the early challenges awaiting Algeria, Ivory Coast and Cameroon.___SOUTH AFRICASouth Africa is perhaps the most positive it has been about the African Cup since it won in 1996 and made the final in 1998. Since then, Bafana Bafana has slid down the African football pecking order, and hasnt got past the quarterfinals in 15 years.Coach Ephraim Mashaba breathed new life into the team when he took over last year, and South Africa was unbeaten and eliminated defending champion Nigeria in qualifying.___CAPE VERDEEvery tournament needs an underdog and Cape Verde might be the big surprise of the African Cup — again.In its debut in 2013, the small Atlantic Ocean island nation made the quarterfinals ahead of Morocco, and gave Ghana a scare in the knockout stage.That breakthrough wasnt wasted and Cape Verde was the first team to guarantee its place at the 2015 tournament in Equatorial Guinea. Surprisingly, the team from a country of just 500,000 people is ranked No. 7 in Africa and in the top 40 in the world, above Cameroon, Nigeria and South Africa.___Gerald Imray is on Twitter at www.twitter.com/GeraldImrayAP Wholesale NFL T-shirts China NFL Gear Cheap Jerseys 2020 Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale ' ' ' |
