Before the season, ESPN. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey .com identified the Achilles heel for each top-10 team. As the playoff selections near, its time to look again at the top candidates and find their trouble spots.Whether its middling quarterback play or a troublesome line, these teams in the current AP top 10 all must overcome vulnerabilities to contend for the national title. Input from opposing coaches was used to compile this list of possible weak spots. Blake Martinez Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. Bart Starr Jersey . Luis Suarezs double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast clubs impressive start to the season. Liverpool and Southampton sent Chelsea down to fourth place as the west London club was held to 2-2 at home. http://www.cheappackersjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-dean-lowry-jersey . Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov. 12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19. The Flyers have claimed three straight and four of the last five encounters with the Sens overall and Philly has won two in a row and three of its past four tests in Canadas capital city. BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins have been outscored 14-4 during their current three-game losing streak. Help might be on the way just in time for the Bruins to start a difficult road trip against three Atlantic Division rivals.Goaltender Tuukka Rask practiced with the Bruins on Friday and should be available to at least serve as the backup against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. Rask hadnt been on the ice with his teammates because of an undisclosed injury since he made 28 saves in a 2-1 win against the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 20.Rask isnt completely healed so he and the Bruins are trying to strike a balance between being able to play and not risking further damage.Thats the thing were kind of talking about, we talked about last week, risk/reward, what it is and how should be proceed, Rask said. It feels good enough now that I can comfortably practice.Coach Claude Julien saw enough Friday to have confidence Rask could dress against the Red Wings and be in consideration to start. The Bruins were expected to send one of their other goaltenders, Zane McIntyre or Malcolm Subban, to Providence of the American Hockey League before departing for Detroit.If hes great, and he practiced well today, and if hes good (Saturday) and theres no issues there (he can play), Julien said. He looked good to me today. So well make that decision but I think weve gone this far, were going to make sure we make the right deecision, not the reckless one. Jason Spriggs Jersey. Rask started the season 3-0-0 for the first time in his career and had a 1.68 goals-against average and .947 save percentage. But he was hardly healthy. The injury began to bother him on opening night in a 6-3 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 13. Two nights later he didnt start against the Toronto Maple Leafs.Rask said he felt fine when made 34 saves in a 4-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Oct. 17. But he had to battle through the injury against the Devils three nights later.The Jersey game was the toughest one. It wasnt too tough. Its just nagging, painful sometimes, but I didnt feel like I hurt anything, he said.With forward David Backes still out after elbow surgery and forward David Pastrnak suspended two games for an illegal check to the head in the 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Wednesday, the Bruins needed some positive news before leaving for their road trip, which continues against the Florida Panthers (Tuesday) and Tampa Bay Lightning (Thursday) after Detroit.Im excited to get back out on the road with this team, Julien said. You control what you can and we can control our enthusiasm, our commitment and everything else. And then go about our business that way and I think thats all we can do right now. ' ' '
