INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts tight end Dwayne Allen can handle the criticism he receives from people about not being able to stay healthy.The facts are clear cut about Allens inability to stay on the field. Hes already missed 21 games in his five-year career and will miss even more now that hes on crutches and wearing a boot because of an ankle injury.What Allen cannot tolerate, though, is receiving hatred and racial comments from people. That was the case when he was shown Sunday on camera, and misreported, according to Allen, on one knee at the end of the national anthem prior to the start of the game against the Houston Texans.Allen, who said hes been doing that at the same point in the anthem since he entered the NFL in 2012, released a video through the Colts website late Tuesday evening and then addressed the matter again Wednesday afternoon.I was not protesting, I was praying, he said. Whether I was protesting or not, it doesnt give the right for others to use those words of hate. If you want to show patriotism, show patriotism, have pride about this great nation, show your love and devotion about this great nation. Dont use words of hate to try to show harm to someone else.If you want to talk about my play, how Im often injured, thats part of the territory. I get it. But to use words of hate to try to break me down because you thought I was protesting something. You wanted to mask what really is in your heart, the hatred under the false pretense of patriotism. Thats not right. Thats not right to millions of Americans who do show patriotism in the right way.Allen reached the breaking point and knew he had to speak up after receiving countless comments on Twitter because people thought he was taking a knee in the same manner that San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has been?protesting police brutality and racial oppression.I cant allow this to continue to go on and other players who have received this type of abuse without a light being shed on this issue, Allen said. Im not friends with Colin Kaepernick. Hes a part of the brotherhood, the NFL, but I believe his demonstration started so he could shed light on the inequalities that we have between the people of color in this country.Ive wanted to shed the light on that issue and hopefully we as a great nation we can come to a place where we all say enough and we gather together and we say we do have the ability to show what true patriotism is and thats what were going to do instead of sharing hate.Brad Peacock Jersey .

Goalie Craig Anderson was unbeatable to everyone except center Auston Matthews, who became the first player in NHL history to score four times in his debut.Anderson will be in goal again Saturday night when the Senators host the Montreal Canadiens.We know we have to allow less shots, said Boucher, who blamed the high total by the Maple Leafs on four penalties taken by his team. We need to improve that. We were on our way to doing it but when you lose that much momentum because youre on the penalty kill all the time and they get shots, thats gone down the drain.The Canadiens, who defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-1 in their season opener Thursday, will remain on the road for their second game. Once again they will be without star goalie Carey Price, who is battling what the team calls a severe case of the flu.Goalie Al Montoya, who stopped 30 shots in Buffalo, will be back between the pipes for the Canadiens.Guys had the right mentality, Montreal captain Max Pacioretty said of the one-for-all approach in Prices absence. Guys sticking up for each other, a lot of selfless playys out there, some blocked shots, taking hits to make plays.dddddddddddd Thats our motto for this team no matter who you are in the lineup.The Canadiens are expected to be bolstered by the return of defensemen Jeff Petry, who missed the opener with a knee injury.Montreal was concerned it would be without forward Andrew Shaw, but the league decided against any supplemental discipline for his slew foot on Sabres forward Johan Larsson.Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said Shaw will meet next week with general manager Marc Bergevin and NHL Department of Player Safety head Stephane Quintal for education.At the same time, Therrien said Shaw is an intense player and you want to make sure he doesnt lose that edge.The Senators will go with the same lineup they used against Toronto, which means defenseman Thomas Chabot, the teams first round selection in 2015, will be a healthy scratch for the second game in a row.Boucher said that Chabot will play in one of the teams back-to-back games next week, either in Detroit Monday or back in Ottawa against Arizona on Tuesday. At some point, the Senators have to decide if theyre keeping Chabot or sending him back to his junior team.Its not a developmental league, its a performance league, said Boucher. He will need to play to see if hes ready. If hes ready hell stay, and if hes not ready he wont stay. ' ' '
