PHOENIX - Richard Sherman has contingency plans in place should his girlfriend give birth to their first child — a son — before Sundays Super Bowl against New England.Sherman doesnt seem worried about the potential arrival of his son interfering with his chances at winning a second straight Super Bowl title. Hes expecting his son to be co-operative from birth.Hes not supposed to come on Sunday. Obviously that would change some things. But I think hes going to be a disciplined young man and stay in there until after the game. Hes going to do his father his first favour and stay in there for another week or two, Sherman said on Thursday.But Ive thought about the possibility of him coming during the game and coming before the game and we have things in place in case that happens and well cross that bridge when we get there. But I did not know it was a topic of national debate, honestly. I would not like to miss the birth of my first son, my first kid. Thankfully, hopefully and God willing we wont have to cross that bridge.Sherman revealed the pending birth of his son earlier this week in a first-person article for The MMQB.Sherman also had no reservations about the idea of his son playing football in the future.Football teaches you discipline and helps you develop a sense of leadership and courage and camaraderie among your friends and teammates, Sherman said. It also shows you how to work with the group, how to depend on one another, how to trust someone to do their job and how to be dependable, to do your job. There are a lot of aspects of football that people dont talk about, and these are the things you learn and they are essential throughout your life.WORTHY CAUSE: Cancer Treatment Centers of America and the NFL Alumni Association announced a partnership to raise awareness among NFL Alumni and fans around the country about screening, diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer.The partnership also calls for CTCA to treat NFL Alumni who are fighting the disease at each of its five hospitals (in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Tulsa).

Instead, the Canucks will just be trying to string together back-to-back wins when they visit the Kings on Monday night and are expected to have Alexander Edler back in their line-up for the first time since suffering a knee injury on Dec. 3. To make room for Edler, the team optioned Frank Corrado back to the Utica Comets of the AHL. In six games with the Canucks this season, the 20-year-old defenceman is pointless. These two Pacific Division clubs clashed in Los Angeles on Jan. 4, with the Kings beating the Canucks for the third time in as many meetings this season. The 3-1 decision gave Los Angeles a victory in six of the last nine encounters and in seven of the previous nine played in L.A. Roberto Luongo made 46 saves for the Canucks and played the entire game despite getting crashed into by the Kings Dustin Brown. Luongo, though, has not played since due to an ankle injury suffered on the play. While the Canucks were understandably not happy with Browns tactics, coach John Tortorella wants his club to remain focused ahead of tonights rematch. "We need to play our game," Tortorella told Vancouvers website. "L.A. plays in the blue, thats part of hockey. We need to play in the blue. We need to protect our blue." Though Luongo was able to take partt in practice on Sunday, he is not expected to play tonight.dddddddddddd That means Eddie Lack will get the call and he has started eight of Vancouvers last nine games while Luongo has dealt with two different injuries. Lack made 30 saves in Fridays 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues, while Mike Santorelli and Zac Dalpe scored goals to help snap the Canucks losing streak. "Lack was really good tonight. He made key saves. Its a big win for us," said Tortorella. The Kings began a five-game homestand with the win over the Canucks and have gone 2-1-1 on the stay. That regulation loss came on Saturday, a 3-1 setback to the Detroit Red Wings. Drew Doughty scored the lone goal for the Kings in the first period, while Jonathan Quick turned aside 23-of-26 shots. "I think starting the second period we had several opportunities where we didnt shoot the puck," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "Those are really 1-1 games so leaving it until the third there is a chance you are not going to get a reward for a great effort." Los Angeles sent 45 shots on net, including a team-high eight by Mike Richards. He had an assist, but saw his stretch of consecutive games without a goal reach 21. Quick made 27 saves in the Jan. 4 win over the Canucks, while Jeff Carter scored twice. Brown also scored. Quick is 8-10-1 with a 1.93 goals against average in his career versus Vancouver. ' ' '
