U.S. womens national team coach Jill Ellis has emphasized that Hope Solos suspension stemmed from a `sum total of actions and not just comments the goalkeeper made about Sweden during the Olympics.Solo was suspended for six months and her contract with U.S. Soccer was terminated following the teams disappointing exit from the Rio Games.Sweden eliminated the United States on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in the quarterfinals. Afterward, Solo called the Swedes a bunch of cowards for their defensive style of play.Ellis discussed the suspension for the first time in a Q & A interview published on U.S. Soccers website.Over time theres been off the field distractions for which the Federation has taken action. Each time an action has been taken theres been made clear an expectation that this would be the last time such a step would be necessary, Ellis said. Sadly, how Hope handled her post-Olympic comments forced us to make a significant decision. Its not simply a decision made about comments, it was based on the sum total of actions that have unfortunately shone a negative light on our program.Solo wont be eligible for selection to the national team again until February.Solo was also suspended in early 2015 after husband Jerramy Stevens was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in a U.S. Soccer team van while the team was at a Southern California training camp. Solo was with him at the time. The former Seattle Seahawks tight end later pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and four years on probation. Solo was suspended by U.S. Soccer for 30 days.Solo also faces the possibility of a trial on misdemeanor domestic violence charges after a 2014 incident at her sisters home, when she was accused of being intoxicated and assaulting her sister and 17-year-old nephew. Solo said she was a victim in the altercation. Earlier this year, an appeals court in Washington state rejected Solos request to avoid trial.Following her latest suspension, Solo decided to end her season with the Seattle Reign of the National Womens Soccer League.The suspensions have sullied an otherwise stellar career.She became the first goalkeeper with 100 international shutouts when the United States defeated South Africa 1-0 in Chicago in July. It also was her 150th career win. During the Rio Games she made her 200th appearance in goal for the United States, an international record.Solo won her second straight Golden Glove Award for the best goalkeeper at the Womens World Cup a year ago. Over the course of the tournament in Canada, she had five shutouts and allowed only three goals in seven games. The U.S. won the World Cup for its third title in soccers premier event.Ellis said in the U.S. Soccer interview that the team will look to develop goalkeepers in the run-up to the 2019 World Cup in France.After the Olympics the plan was always to prepare for 2019 and that means investing in the other goalkeepers and getting them playing time. Thats still the process and its the same for every position, she said. Everything right now is building towards 2019 and our future. Tim Hardaway Heat Jersey .

Two certainties about this season:The?Florida Panthers Jaromir Jagr will continue to defy age and score goals.The Calder Trophy race between the early front-runners -- Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets and Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs -- will rage on for the entire season if both rookies remain healthy.The start of the regular season has revealed unlikely developments, including the?San Jose Sharks Brent Burns?vying for the league lead?in scoring. Between the pipes, Montreal Canadiens backup Al Montoya is second among all goaltenders with a .962 save percentage, and?Edmonton Oilers goalie?Cam Talbot has five wins.Theres plenty of hockey left to be played, and the faces of those statistical categories will change soon. But here are five early predictions that will hold up:Carey Price will lead the Canadiens back to the postseason. He suffered a season-ending knee injury last November, but Montreals No. 1 netminder returned to health and led Team Canada to a World Cup of Hockey championship last month in Toronto. Once the regular season began, however, he was sidelined again with what was diagnosed as a severe case of the flu. He missed the first three games and the Canadiens went 2-0-1 with Montoya in net.Price made his season debut Thursday and posted a 27-save performance to help Montreal win 5-2 over the Arizona Coyotes?at Bell Centre. If Price can stay healthy, the Canadiens could compete for the top spot in the Atlantic Division. Montoya has been solid, but it says here that Price will have a productive season and lead his team into the Stanley Cup playoffs in the spring.The?Tampa Bay Lightning?are not in trouble. Its too early to claim a team is inconsistent, but after starting 3-0-0, the Lightning were ravaged in a 4-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche (3-1-0) on Thursday at home. That loss will serve as the early-season wakeup call the Lightning need. The Avalanche look like a team that will contend for a playoff spot in the Central Division, but Tampa, the team many experts predicted would win the Stanley Cup in 2017, should not be shut out by Colorado.Expect the Lightning to enjoy more consistent play, and they will be rewarded with reaching the century mark in points after finishing with?97 in 2015-16.The Ducks will heat up, the Canucks will cool off. The Anaheim Duccks are 1-3-1 in the first five games, which is a little bit concerning since they won the Pacific Division last season with 103 points.dddddddddddd Take a deep breath and recall how the Ducks began the 2015-16 season: losing nine of 10 before turning it around. The Ducks are too good to falter much longer. Plus, the teams first five games were on the road.The Ducks opened at home on Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks, who happen to be 4-0-0. This category is twofold: The Ducks will start winning games consistently, and the Canucks will cool off. After all, the addition of forward Loui Eriksson is a massive help for the Canucks, but Vancouver cant sustain this type of success for the entire season, right? Maybe the Canucks will prove everyone wrong.Brad Marchand will score 40 or more for the Bruins. The ink on his new eight-year, $49 million contract extension with the Boston Bruins isnt even dry yet, but the top-line winger has carried his World Cup of Hockey momentum into the regular season.After his short-handed goal with 43.1 seconds remaining in regulation led Team Canada to a 2-1 championship victory over Team Europe last month at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Marchand leads the league with three goals and six assists for nine points in five games. Even though he has a fat new deal, hes not the type of player to relax and go through the motions. He scored 38 goals last season and you can bet hell surpass that mark this season.The Oilers will keep scoring, as will the Senators (sort of). In the early going, Edmonton was tied for the NHL in team scoring, with 23 goals in six games. With a strong pool of talent, led by captain Connor McDavid, the Oilers should remain near the top of that category for the remainder of the regular season.The Ottawa Senators?have?18 goals each in five games. They are starting to cool off, but will likely still finish in the top 10 in the league in scoring thanks to the offensive production from defenseman Erik Karlsson, who already has two goals and five assists for seven points in five games.The Senators have missed the playoffs twice in the past three seasons, but they will compete for a postseason berth this spring.
