CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks agreed to a three-year contract with 2012 first-round draft pick Teuvo Teravainen on Thursday. The 18-year-old Teravainen, a forward from Finland, was the 18th overall pick. He had 13 goals and 18 assists in 44 regular-season games for SM-liigas Jokerit last season. cheap jerseys china . The White Sox announced the diagnosis following an exam in Seattle. The only treatment is rest and Peavy will be shut down for that entire stretch. "Its just unfortunate that something crazy like comes about," Peavy said after Chicago beat Seattle 7-5 in 16 innings. cheap china jerseys . With players jobs and holding onto season ticket-holders on the line, the 5-17-6 MLS team knows it needs to make a point in the final six games of the season -- starting Saturday with the visit of the almost equally woeful Philadelphia Union (7-13-5). http://www.cheapjerseyschina.cc/ . "We have to make this place a living hell for [opponents] to come play here," the Raptors general manager pleaded. So far its been anything but. "We have far more focus on the road than we do at home and that is a concern," coach Dwane Casey said after his team dropped to 4-8 at the ACC, losing another heartbreaker, 104-102 to the Bobcats in overtime Wednesday. cheap nfl jerseys . Viewers in the Habs region can watch the game on TSN Canadiens beginning at 7:30pm et/8:30pm at. The game can also be heard live on TSN Radio 990 and TSN.ca/Montreal. Ironically, Ribeiro is playing his sixth season in Dallas but has not appeared in Montreal either due to scheduling or injuries. cheap jerseys .Y. -- Bills quarterback Thad Lewis missed his second straight practice on Thursday and remains questionable for Sundays game against the Kansas City Chiefs. MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade successfully lobbied to play in Miamis regular-season finale, saying he wanted to get a little more work in before the playoffs begin this weekend. He looked more than ready for another post-season run. Wade scored 21 points and handed out 10 assists, Mike Miller added 21 points and the Miami Heat wrapped up the regular season with a 105-93 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Orlando finished with the NBAs worst record, 20-62. Miami (66-16) became the 14th team in NBA history to finish with a winning percentage over .800. The Heat have home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs and will open their quest for a second straight championship on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference first-round series. "Awesome," Wade said. "Its great. Its a testament to the team being committed and being very consistent all year." The Heat were without LeBron James, who was away from the team for the day while tending to a personal matter and almost certainly would not have played even if he was in the arena anyway. Chris Bosh was in the first starting lineup the Heat submitted Wednesday, before the team changed course about 45 minutes before game time and decided to give him the night off as well. "We still have time to get into this mentally," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Juwan Howard scored 12 points in the 900th start of his career, while Rashard Lewis scored 16 points and Ray Allen scored 10 for Miami. The Heat finished 37-4 at home, and not long after putting together a 27-game winning streak -- the second-longest run in NBA history -- the defending champs head into the post-season having won a league-best eight in a row. "Now we start the real thing," Wade said. Nik Vucevic had 20 points and 13 rebounds for Orlando. Only once have the Magic won fewer games in a season -- their inaugural year, going 18-64 in 1989-90. "This was a learning experience for most of us," Vucevic said. "Were young guys. It wasnt easy with a lot of losses. It wasnt always fun but we can take a lot from the season." The Heat surely wont mind not seeing Vucevic again until next fall. In three games against Miami this season, Vucevic -- who arrived in Orlando as part of the Dwight Howard trade last summer -- finished with 65 points and 63 rebounds, getting double-doubles in every outing. "Its not a fluke," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Hes done it on a consistent basis for us. And hes improved ... hes gotten better along the way." Tobias Harris scored 19, Beno Udrih scored 12, Andrew Nicholson scored 12, ETwaun Moore had 11 and Maurice Harkless finished with 100 for the Magic.dddddddddddd "Im thankful for being here, for the organization, the coaches, the fans," Harris said. "I just look forward to grow from it and come back next year even more ready. ... Were just building on everything to be a better team." Wade has been sidelined for much of the past couple weeks while recovering from bone bruises around his right kneecap. He announced about an hour before the game that he would play, citing a need to improve his conditioning before Game 1 of the post-season. Without James and Bosh in the lineup, he was the clear go-to guy, and responded with 17 first-half points -- his most since late February. Orlando, which has known for some time that its season was ending with the final whistle of this game, hardly seemed like a team eager to start its summer vacations. The Magic shot 57 per cent in the first half, outplayed Miami for some stretches and went into intermission down just 55-47. "Ive asked a lot of these guys," Vaughn said. The Magic cut the lead to one point on a pair of occasions in the third, before the Heat closed the quarter on a 16-7 run. And that burst came after Wade checked out for the last time in his 10th regular season. Wades final shot was a reverse layup, and he appeared to be limping slightly afterward -- though he insisted postgame that he was fine, just working his way through the last of the bruising. The Heat took no more chances, getting Wade out of the game at the next stoppage and having trainer Jay Sabol strap icepacks to each of his knees. And when the last horn went off, the playoffs -- and a chance for another title -- had finally arrived in Miami. "Regular-season games are there for a reason, and thats to improve and get better and we think we accomplished that," Spoelstra said. "It will be different. Well never be the underdog. And thats the way it should be. Our guys accept that responsibility and they know well have to prove it every single night." A year ago, the big question entering the playoffs was whether Miami was good enough to win it all. This season, it seems like the rest of the league is waiting to see who might give the Heat a challenge. "Ill be tuned in," Vaughn said. "Ill watch." NOTES: Juwan Howards start total ranks him 14th among active players (a list that excludes Rasheed Wallace, the veteran who retired earlier Wednesday). ... Allen and James are now part of a very small group -- those who have been part of 66-win seasons with two different franchises, with others in that club including Wilt Chamberlain, Robert Parish, Devean George, Ron Harper and John Salley. ... The Magic finished 46 games behind Miami in the Southeast Division standings. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
