NEWARK, N. Tony Oliva Jersey .J. -- Henrik Tallinder remembers the phone call in January from the New Jersey Devils medical staff. He had been in excruciating pain, his left leg swollen. He was told he had acute thrombophlebitis. In plain English: a blood clot that would sideline him about two months. Now its June, and Tallinder just last week was cleared to play again. The problem is the Stanley Cup playoffs are almost over and the 33-year-old Swedish defenceman is just hoping for a shot at playing in the final round against the Los Angeles Kings. "Im good. Im ready," Tallinder said this week. "I dont know, I mean, the coach has to make the call. But, as I said, I feel physically fine. I dont have any issues. Ive been practicing for two, three weeks now, and I feel good. I mean, if I get the chance, its a dream come true. This is where you want to play." Tallinder, in his ninth season, almost made it to the Cup finals in 2006 with Buffalo. However, he broke his left arm in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the eventual champion Carolina Hurricanes. This injury is an altogether different matter. "When you get it and you read what it is, you are concerned about it and realize its serious stuff," he said. "You learn about it, deal with it and move on. But when its in your legs, you are concerned about it travelling to your lungs and its game over." Tallinder used blood thinners to eradicate the clot, but his comeback was slow. Even now that he is off the medication, he still has to be careful. Taking a flight with the team to Los Angeles for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Wednesday requires precautions. Doctors have advised Tallinder to wear compression stockings, stay well hydrated and to get up and walk at times during the flight. Tallinder didnt seem to know exactly how he was hurt. His last game was against Winnipeg on Jan. 17. He could have been hit by a slapshot, or slashed or simply been dehydrated and took a flight. The doctors told him his clot started as an infection in his vein. "It hurt and I was limping," Tallinder said. "I thought I blocked a shot or it might have been a charley horse, but it never got better, just worse and worse and worse. Then it was excruciating pain and it swelled and it was huge. It could happen to anyone but its a freaky thing that happens. Now I know how it feels and how it occurs." Devils coach Peter DeBoer said before Game 2 on Saturday that he was thinking of getting Tallinder back in the lineup. "I do know this: I know hes kept himself in great shape," DeBoer said. "He looks good in practice. Before he went out, he was a top two defenceman for us. You miss two, 2-2 1/2 months. It didnt hurt (Travis) Zajac coming back in. I know youre jumping into the Stanley Cup Final, not into the last week of the regular season. But (Jacob) Josefson jumped in last round against the Rangers coming off six weeks out with a broken wrist, and it didnt hurt him. You know, you hope you get the desired result, but you never know." Tallinder isnt the only veteran hoping to get back into the finals. Kings forward Simon Gagne is ready to go after being sidelined with a concussion since late December. The way the Kings are going, however, coach Darryl Sutter has been staying pat with his lineup. "I have been in this league for more than 12 years, and I got close once in Philly in 2010 and I got a conference finals Game 7 three times, and close to go to the finals again," Gagne said Saturday after the Kings held a pre-game skate at the Prudential Center. "I know its hard to win, so any chance you get to go there and any chance you get to play for that big trophy, youre going to take it." Gagne also knows the opportunity to hoist the Cup does not come along often. "At this point of my career, you never know, this might be my last chance to taste something like that," he said. "Playing or not playing, a lot of things happened in my career that Im glad that I am here and in that position right now." Karlos Dansby Jersey .

SHANGHAI - A watch with a micro recorder worn by Qian Yunhui, a former village leader, has been found and supports the previous conclusion that his death was an accident, Wenzhou police said on Saturday. Debate was sparked throughout the country following the recent decapitation of the 53-year-old Qian, a leader in the Zhaiqiao village in Yueqing, a city in East Chinas Zhejiang province. In the past six years, Qian led local villagers in protests against the expropriation of their farmland for industrial development. Qian was killed in a traffic accident on the morning of Dec 25. According to authorities in Zhejiang province, his head was severed by a truck driven by an unlicensed driver, and his death was not the result of malicious intrigue, Related readings: Foul play suspected in death of village head News media should guard against Internet manipulation But Qians fellow villagers and Chinese netizens believed that Qian was deliberately held beneath the trucks tire. Their suspicions grew after two pictures of the incidents aftermath were circulated online. One shows Qian wearing a watch on his wrist wwhen he died, while another shows Qian with nothing on his wrist. Josh Cribbs Jersey. That minor difference stirred speculation that the watch might contain a micro recorder. Detailed information about the accident, some said, might have been recorded and, if recovered, could lead to knowledge of the real cause of Qians death. Wenzhou police said the watch does contain such a device and that it was recording during the entire time of the accident. According to the police, Wang Liquan, a local villager, took the watch off Qians wrist after the wreck and hid it at a neighbors home. Wang told authorities that he got the watch on Jan 13 and sent it to the police the next day. The police said the recording supports the previous conclusion that Qian was killed by a traffic accident instead of a well-plotted murder. The watch device will be used to furnish evidence when the court holds a hearing on the case on Feb 1. Qian Yunhuis family members have accepted a compensation deal of 1.05 million yuan ($159,574) from the driver and his employer, and Qian Chengxu, Qian Yunhuis son, said they will soon cremate his fathers body, according to Oriental Morning Post.
