FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Nike Air Jordan Retro 5 . -- Tom Bradys last attempt at Super Bowl redemption last lasted less than 15 minutes. The Patriots quarterback was injured in the first quarter of the 2008 regular season opener, seven months after the New York Giants beat New England in the Super Bowl. Now that hes trying to shake the memory of another Super Bowl loss to the Giants, Brady is using that season as a lesson. "I think one thing that my injury taught me a few years ago was how fragile this game is, and to be able to take the field every week is really a blessing," Brady told reporters on Thursday after an one of the off-season organized team activities. Losing the Super Bowl "is part of learning as a player," Brady said. "Hopefully you get a chance to be in that position again. At this point, we try to move on and you try to look forward to what this season is going to be about. Its a different group of players, different coaches, a little different system. Youre trying to put together a team here that can go out and compete every single week." Asked if he looks at things differently at 35 than he did at 25, Brady responded, a little too seriously: "Im not 35." He turns 35 in August. The Patriots went 16-0 in the 2007 regular season and made it 18-0 in the playoffs before the Giants came back to win in the Super Bowl with two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including the one by Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left. In the first quarter of the first game of the 08 regular season, Brady blew out his knee and was gone for the year. This February, New England again blew a fourth-quarter lead in the championship game, this time when Ahmad Bradshaw scored -- uncontested -- from 6 yards out with 57 seconds left. Brady has already moved on. "You dont look back too much on the past and say, What if? What if? Youd drive yourself crazy," Brady said. "At some point, you have to put it in the past and move on." Defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said the loss has "no effect" on this season. "You start back from where you started before, from zero. Thats where Im at now," he said. "You really cant dwell over spoiled milk. Last year was last year, thats how you have to look at it and keep rolling. You have to be a professional." Brady is hoping this season will end better, and the Patriots have stocked up his receiving corps to make it happen. The team signed free agents Donte Stallworth, Brandon Lloyd and Jabar Gaffney and re-signed Deion Branch and Wes Welker to go along with Julian Edelman and Chad Ochocinco. "Weve brought in quite a few guys," Brady said. "Hopefully the mix of guys that we had last year along with the new guys can create some different options for us. Its a very competitive position. All of our days of practice have been very competitive. ... The more good players you have, the better team youre going to be." Welker caught more passes than anyone else in the NFL last season but couldnt come down with the one that might have clinched a win in the Super Bowl. He had been hoping for a long-term deal, but the Patriots used the franchise tag on him; he decided to sign the $9.5 million tender offer rather than hold out. His teammates are glad to have him back. "Everybody is different and you cant fault anybody for handling their business. Ill let Wes business be Wes business," said Wilfork, who had contract issues of his own back in 2009. "Hes one of the best receivers in the game and coming off the year he had, hes probably one of our best players and one of the best players around the league. Im happy that hes back rolling with us for at least another year." A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Welker led the NFL with 122 receptions and was second in the league with 1,569 yards receiving. Brady said hed like Welker to finish his career with the Patriots. "There are always contract situations and its not my contract situation so I dont really comment," Brady said. "I just try to support Wes and his role and what hes asked to do. You see what kind of commitment he makes by coming out here and practicing. Hes always worked his tail off. I love having him out there with me and hes one of my great friends. Hopefully everything works out." The Patriots worked out for the second week in a row, with one more of the practices called OTAs before minicamp in June. Thursday was Bradys first general media availability, so he discussed everything from the teams off-season moves to the suicide of teammate Junior Seau. Brady said learning of Seaus death had him thinking about the end of his own playing days. "That transition, Ive heard, is hard and well all have to deal with it at some point. Hopefully we can deal with it as best as we know how. If we need help, we can seek it out," Brady said. "Everyone had so much respect for him by the way that he approached the game, by the way that he approached life. He was a very good friend of mine. It was a very sad day. Im sure its sad still for his family and for all his friends who really loved him so much. "Hes certainly missed." Nike Air Jordan Retro 3 . -- Jamie Barresi is returning to the University of Ottawa.

Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Kerry, In Thursdays game between the Winnipeg Jets and the Montreal Canadiens, P.K. Subban had broken his stick in the attacking zone on the power play and returned to the bench to get a new one. He hustled and made it back into the attacking zone to play the puck before it was cleared out of the zone, with two pieces of his previous hockey stick on the ice, just inside the blue line. After making a pass to a teammate, Subban then proceeded to use his new stick to swipe both pieces of his old stick out of the attacking zone. The Canadiens then scored on the play. I am of the understanding that it is illegal for any player to touch or move any strewn piece of equipment on the ice, including broken hockey sticks. I was also of the understanding that only a defensive player was allowed to get away with certain things such as hand-swiping the puck ahead out of the defending zone or bumping stewn equipment. Why was the play allowed to proceed with no penalty assessed to P.K. Subban when he was in the attacking zone? When is a player allowed to affect on-ice equipment and when are they not? Rob Peterson Rob, There are a few rule references that answer your question but the short answer is that, as long as the clearing of a broken stick/debris does not interfere with the puck, the play or an opposing player, it is allowed. We know that a player is not allowed to play with a broken stick and therefore must drop the broken portion before he is allowed to participate in the play. When Subbans stick broke on the shot, he legally dropped the broken portion in his hand and retrieved a replacement at the players bench. Upon his return to the attacking blue line after making a play with the puck, he cleared away the broken stick by shooting it back into the neutral zone. I provide the following rule references as to when a play of this nature is deemed legal and when it is not. Rule 53.1 - A player shall not throw a stick or any other object in any zone. A player who has lost or broken his stick may only receive a stick at his own players bench or be handed one from a teammate on the iice. Nike air jordan 23 hohe ferse schuhe schwarz. (Subban legally retrieved a replacement stick at his bench.) Rule 53.2 - A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player on the ice who throws his stick or any part thereof in any zone, except when such act has been penalized by the assessment of a penalty shot or the awarding of a goal. (A penalty shot is awarded when the stick is thrown by a defending player in his defending zone and impedes the movement of the puck or puck carrier or when a player in control of the puck in the neutral or attacking zone with no opponent to pass is interfered with by a stick or any part thereof or any other object or piece of equipment thrown or shot by a member of the defending team. Awarded goal would result if the goalkeeper has been removed for an extra attacker.) When the player discards the broken portion of a stick or some other object by tossing or shooting it to the side of the ice (and not over the boards) in such a way as will not interfere with play or opposing player, no penalty will be imposed for doing so. (This is exactly what Subban did.) Rule 56.2 - A minor penalty shall be imposed on a player who knocks or shoots any abandoned or broken stick or illegal puck or other debris towards an opposing puck carrier in a manner that could cause him to be distracted. Also from 56.2, a minor penalty shall be assessed on a player who deliberately prevents a player who has dropped his stick or any other piece of equipment from regaining possession of it. This is also supported in 53.2 - When moving a stick that is not broken, no penalty shall be assessed as long as it does not interfere with the play and the player who lost said stick is not attempting to retrieve it, otherwise an interference penalty must be assessed. Rob, you now have the dos and donts of moving equipment laying on the ice and clearing away debris found in a players path. I trust this clarification will help as the final weekend of the regular season is concluded and we move into the playoffs. I look forward to joining hosts James Duthie and Steve Kouleas in studio during the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs when called upon.
