PITTSBURGH, Pa. Ricky Rubio Jersey . - Sean Spences word choice was not by accident.Spending three years in the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room has taught the linebacker certain opponents evoke certain feelings. Theres only really one that pops up when the Baltimore Ravens come to mind.Just a rich tradition of hatred we have for one another, Spence said.Even if Spences participation in that tradition is limited. Hes hardly alone. The vast majority of players on both sides of the field will be getting their first taste of what one of the NFLs true blood feuds looks like in the playoffs when the Steelers (11-5) host the Ravens (10-6) in the wild-card round.That list, however, will not include LeVeon Bell. Pittsburghs All-Pro running back and team MVP is out with a hyperextended right knee, leaving rookies Josh Harris and Dri Archer and newly acquired Ben Tate in his place.Tate, on his fourth team in 12 months, was looking for a job a week ago. Now he finds himself thrust into one of the leagues longest-running dramas.Everyone knows about it, Tate said. So, its nothing new that Ive never heard about before.And really, thats kind of the point. Signing with Pittsburgh or Baltimore comes with the underlying expectation that for any season to be successful, youre going to have to find a way to deal with your archrival.Thats one of the reasons I came here, Baltimore linebacker Elvis Dumervil said. This is best rivalry Ive ever been a part of by a long shot. Its cool man, to be able to see it early in my career and be a part of it now, to have played in it. And now, for a playoff game, it doesnt get any better than that.The Ravens and Steelers have been battling for AFC North supremacy off and on for most of the millennium. Both have two Super Bowl titles since 2000. Three times theyve met in the playoffs at Heinz Field.Three times Pittsburgh advanced while Baltimore trudged back to the locker room wondering how its season slipped away. The Ravens led by 14 at the half in the divisional round in 2010 only to watch the Steelers rally, winning on a Rashard Mendenhall touchdown run with 1:39 to play.Its a painful history in Baltimore, though the Ravens hardly sound worried about repeating it.The other ones pretty much have their result, but this one doesnt, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said. Come Saturday, its an opportunity to do something special and do something we havent ever done.Besides, most of the faces have changed. Pittsburgh has just 15 players on the active roster who were part of the 2010 team that reached the Super Bowl.The Ravens only have 19 guys remaining from the group that won the franchises second championship two years ago. They split their two regular-season meetings this year, with each club winning by 20 points at home in a couple of rare blowouts in a series where the result usually isnt determined until the final seconds.Both sides are preparing to etch another bruising chapter on Saturday. Its January. Its Ravens-Steelers. Thats the way its supposed to be, right?This is probably what the NFL wanted more than anything to see these two AFC North teams go at it, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. I like to think were different. I like to think were still moving up.Some things to look for with a spot in the final eight on the line.SACK TANDEM: Dumervil finished the regular season with a career-high-tying 17 sacks and Suggs had 12 in a friendly competition that often spelled doom for opposing quarterbacks. No duo in the NFL had more in 2014.TROYS RETURN: Few players have had more of an impact on the rivalry than Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, whose 40-yard interception return for a touchdown sealed Pittsburghs victory in the AFC Championship game six years ago. Polamalu is expected to play after sitting out the finale with a sprained knee.KUBIAK FOCUSED: Ravens offensive co-ordinator Gary Kubiak has been mentioned as a possible choice to fill several head coaching vacancies, but the former Houston Texans coach had no desire to talk about where he might be next year. Under Kubiaks direction, the Ravens set a single-season team record with 409 points.BROWNS BREAKOUT: Steelers wide receiver Antonio Browns first big moment in the NFL came on a 58-yard pass in the 2010 divisional round that set up Mendenhalls winning score. Fast forward four years and Brown is an All-Pro and one of the most hard to cover players in the league and faces a secondary ravaged by injuries.NGATA PROBLEM: Baltimores fourth-ranked run defence should get even better with the return of nose tackle Haloti Ngata, who missed four games while serving a suspension for violating the leagues performance-enhancing drug policy. The Ravens went 3-1 in his absence but were pushed around by the Texans in the lone defeat, an upset loss on the road that knocked Baltimore out of any contention for the division title.___AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in Baltimore contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Jeff Hornacek Jersey ."

Hi Kerry, Love reading your column and loved watching your analysis on the TSN broadcasts!And were now in Round 2! Bruins! Canadiens! We know all about the great games of the past from the players, the broadcasters and the writers.TAMPA, Fla. -- Steven Stamkos will not play for Team Canada at the Sochi Olympics after tests revealed Wednesday that his broken right leg is not completely healed. Tampa Bay Lightning doctors said they couldnt clear him to play after examining his most recent CT scan and will re-evaluate his condition again in two to three weeks. Lightning captain and teammate Martin St. Louis has been named as his replacement. Its a big blow for the 23-year-old, who had been optimistic earlier this week that he might be able to play by as soon as Saturday. "Today is obviously very disappointing for me," Stamkos said in a release. "I honestly believe that we did everything possible in order to have my injured leg ready in time for the Olympics, but I realize you cant force healing. I know, in the best interest of my long-term health, I cannot represent Canada in Sochi, as much as I would like to." Yzerman said Stamkos "should not be participating in game action at any time in the near future." "Although the doctor was very pleased to this point with the healing process, he explained that the callus surrounding the fracture sitee is not 100 per cent consolidated, and Steven will not be cleared to play in a game until that happens," said Yzerman. Derrick Favors Jersey. "It was a pretty clear-cut decision, no grey areas at all." Sidney Crosby, the captain for Team Canada, was disappointed to hear that Stamkos would not be heading to Sochi. "Its tough to see. I think we all figured if theres anyone thats going to find a way back, it would be him," Crosby said, after scoring a goal and adding an assist in Pittsburghs 5-1 win at Buffalo Wednesday night. "That being said, its probably more difficult for him than anyone else. You feel for him, but we obviously have to move forward." Crosby declined to suggest who he might favour as a candidate to replace Stamkos. "With different guys in the mix, I think its a good problem to have," Crosby said. "But nonetheless, I dont think its an easy decision at all." NHL players are set to leave Sunday and arrive in Sochi on Monday. Canadas first game is Feb. 13. Stamkos suffered the injury Nov. 11 and hasnt played since. He underwent surgery to have a titanium rod inserted into the tibia.
