Steve Yzerman and Hockey Canada are getting a little bit of everything with the eight defenceman named to represent Canada at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. The eight defencemen named – Jay Bouwmeester, Drew Doughty, Dan Hamhuis, Duncan Keith, Alex Pietrangelo, P.K. Subban, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Shea Weber – bring a blend of offence, defence, mobility, responsibility and physicality. For Canada, that responsibility may well start at the top with returnees Keith, Weber and Doughty. "To me they have everything you want in a defence pairing," TSN director of scouting Craig Button said of the potential top pairing of Keith and Weber. "They can skate, they can move the puck up the ice or they can join in the attack. They can play against the other teams best players and theyre going to play a lot of minutes." "Mike Babcock will have no hesitance to put those two out there against anybody at any time," Button added. While some of the players selected were academic, especially returnees Doughty, Keith and Weber, others such as P.K. Subban and Dan Hamhuis were believed to be bubble players until the day the roster was unveiled. Representing the oldest member of the defence corps and one of the youngest are both new additions to Canadas Olympic squad as 24-year-old Subban and 31-year-old Hamhuis will both be expected to fill Canadas niche needs. "The bottom pair is exactly what we thought it would be," said NHL on TSN analyst Mike Johnson. "Subban is there for an infusion of offence, a change of pace on special teams and Dan Hamhuis is there for the other end: defence, shot-blocking and penalty-killing depending on the situation." The defence is a perfect balance of right-handed and left-handed shots, which was a conscious effort by Canadas management. That balance may have played in Vlasics favour as he edged teammate and 2010 Canadian Olympian Dan Boyle out of one of the coveted blue line spots. Button praised Vlasics inclusion on the team, complimenting the 26-year-olds composure. "Hes steady, hes consistent and he plays at a high level," Button said. "Its not just skating and competing, his mind is very, very strong. Mistakes are going to be at a minimum in this type of tournament so you want a guy thats comfortable playing in those big minutes and those important times and hes not going to make mistakes."

The Canadian skicross racer appeared to have the bronze medal locked up in the mens final at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, only to wipe out while trying to make a pass in the biggest moment of his career.SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis did some light running and caught passes from a machine Friday and remains questionable for Sundays game at the Arizona Cardinals. Davis, recovering from an ankle injury suffered during the 49ers loss to the Chicago Bears, said he would be ready to play if hes given the green light, despite missing the week of practice. Backup tight end Vance McDonald, recovering from a knee injury also suffered in the loss, could also return to action. Hes listed as questionable. "Im always optimistic in all phases of my life," McDonald said. "If it were up to me, Im going. Were being patient with it." Derek Carrier and Kyle Nelson, who is the teams long snapper, are the only healthy tight ends available. Carrier, a second-year player, caught his first three career passes during the fourth quarter against the Bears. "Were confident in Derek," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "He played well the other night. Hes a good player." 49ers offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman said Carrier has a lot of upside and that hes been involved in practice since Day 1 with quarterback Colin Kaepernick. "Theres definitely things he needs too work on, but hes done a nice job," Roman said.dddddddddddd"He has a good feel for the passing game and has really improved his blocking in this preseason. That was the number one thing that Ive been most pleased with." Nelson, who scored a pair of touchdowns in the preseason, would most likely be used only in an emergency, though Harbaugh acknowledged he was encouraged by Nelsons pass-catching ability. "Anything is possible," Harbaugh said. "You always like to have those options and have your opponent think that there could be any option available." McDonald and centre Daniel Kilgore serve as Nelsons backup at long snapper. Meanwhile, Davis said he felt fine after Fridays practice. "It feels great right now," he said. "Im just going to take it slow and leave it to the trainers and coaches." Davis familiarized himself with the game plan, not just in case he can play but also if he could provide some input for Carrier. "Ive been through a lot," Davis said. "Its like anything. You get injured, you come back, and you make the transition." Tight ends have caught 11 passes for 133 yards and a pair of touchdowns (both by Davis) this year.
