BOSTON -- P. Dizzy Dean .K. Subban says his social media haters have nothing to do with the Boston Bruins or their fans. The Montreal defenceman, who is black, was the target of racial abuse on Twitter and other social media forums after his double-overtime winner Thursday night in Game 1 of the Canadiens second-round playoff series with the Bruins. Coaches and players from both teams, along with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and the mayors from both cities, decried the abuse. Subban, himself, did not speak publicly until after Game 2 Saturday, won 5-3 by Boston. "First thing first, the Boston Bruins are an Original Six franchise, they have been around for a very long time, they are respected," said Subban, telling reporters it was "the first time and probably the last time" he would comment on the issue. "Its completely unfair for anybody to point the finger at the organization or the fan base. They have passionate fans here, great fan base and since Ive been in the league its been awesome. Ive come to Boston many times, my family has come here and its been great. What people may say on Twitter or social media is not a reflection by any means of the league or the Boston Bruins. So whoever that is, theyll get dealt with, but its completely separate from this league or the Boston Bruins organization." Canadiens coach Michel Therrien met with Subban on Friday night to see how he was feeling and to ensure his player knew he had the teams support. "Hes got a lot of character, that kid," Therrien said prior to Saturdays game. "But like he said, and from my standpoint too, its more important that were here to sell the game, were here to win a hockey game, were here to compete," Therrien told reporters. "Were not here to talk about a few bad people that put some comments on the Internet." Therrien said Subban, 24, spent part of Friday with his family. Bettman spoke out against the racial abuse when asked about it before Saturdays game. "I fully endorse and support the comment that (Boston president) Cam Neely and the Bruins issued," he said. "We are about diversity and inclusiveness. We condemn bias and hatred. It has no place in our game and its not acceptable." Subban, as he was in Game 1, was booed every time whenever he had the puck Saturday. He had two assists on the day. "Its unfortunate when things take away from the great hockey that was played two days ago," Subban said. He also talked of the NHLs diversity -- "tons of players from different backgrounds, from different places around the world and thats what makes this league so special and thats what makes sports so special. It brings everybody together." Roger Maris .

Riethers apparent stamp on Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj during Saturdays Premier League match at Craven Cottage was missed by the match officials. A three-man panel of former referees reviewed the incident and all agreed that it was a sending-off offence. http://www.custommlbcardinalsjersey.com/custom-ramon-urias-jersey-large-1451q.html .NYCFC confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday that this week Lampard signed a contract to start in July — midway through the new teams first season in MLS.As well, cornerback Darrelle Revis paid Mark Baron $50,000 for the number 24 on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season, he only wore the number for 16 games before being released.
