Paul Gallen can only wonder what could have been as he looks back on his State of Origin career.The Blues skipper will retire after his 23rd Origin game next week as NSWs most capped leader but also one who has endured its greatest failings.Since making his Blues debut in 2006, Gallen has played every season of Queenslands current unprecedented dominance of the interstate battle, for just one series success in 2014.At the moment that is the highlight of my career, there is no doubt about that, that was awesome, Gallen said.I look back over the last couple of years and think what could have been.I missed game one last year, myself and Greg Bird, and one of the Morris boys, and then we win game two. I missed the decider in 2013 with Jarryd Hayne so I do think about the past and I think God if only.But you dont get those chances in Origin and Queensland have been too good. You have to give them credit.After announcing he would retire following this years series Gallen, a lighting rod for the Blues repeated failures, knows it is time to go.I have busted my gut for NSW, Gallen said.I thought the criticism (after game two) was a little bit unfair. But people are entitled to their opinion and that is the way it is.I am ready for it to be over, I am ready to sit back and ready to watch Origin and ready to enjoy it for what it is.Gallen said he didnt expect to be affected at ANZ Stadium on July 13 for his final game.I dont think I will be emotional, he said.We got that series win, it has been unfortunate that we have gone down the last couple of years.This year has been even more disappointing (because of) the fact we couldnt take it to a decider.So for me now it is all about these young blokes and helping them get through the week and taking it to the future.

But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Mike Singletary Bears Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Akiem Hicks Bears Jersey . Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jesse Ertz and Kansas State rushed to the end of coach Bill Snyders 25th regular season, and to another bowl game.Ertz ran for a career-high 170 yards with a touchdown and Justin Silmon had 133 yards rushing with two touchdowns as the Wildcats won 30-6 at TCU on a drizzly Saturday.We just did what we do. I dont think there was any secret or anything new we threw at them, said Ertz, the junior quarterback who also had an 83-yard scoring pass. Im just looking to go 9-4 and finish out strong.Coach Bill Snyder got his 201st victory in 25 seasons with the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Big 12), who next will play in their 20th bowl game -- the 19th under Snyder. Kansas State appears headed to the Houston Bowl to play an SEC team after winning five of its last six games.To finish it out strong ... get that eighth win, it was very important for us, Silmon said.Kansas State ran for 336 yards, its sixth consecutive 200-yard game on the ground. The Wildcats have 17 rushing TDs their past four games.TCU (6-6, 4-5) will play in its 14th bowl with Gary Patterson, even after finishing the regular season without a winning record for only the third time in the coachs 16 full seasons and being held without a touchdown in a game for the first time since 2006.Really across the board we got thrown around by everybody, Patterson said. Weve got to grow up on offense. Until they do that, we wont win many games against good people.The Wildcats went ahead for good when Ertz broke free for a 32-yard TD run in the second quarter to make it 10-3.Right after halftime, Ertz threw a quick slant to Byron Pringle, who caught the ball near Kansas States 30 and took off sprinting down the middle of the field on the 83-yard catch-and-run score. He escaped a defender diving at his ankles before going the final 20 yards.Simlon had both of his TDs after halftime, including a 5-yard score when he avoided two tacklers in the backfield and then bulled through another defender.I think maybe the second half might have as been as good a half as we have played, Snyder saaid.dddddddddddd Defensively, we played well across the board throughout the ball game.THE TAKEAWAYKansas St.: With Ertz effectively leading the way, the Wildcats continue to pound teams with their running game. Ertz has three 100-yard games and 99 in another in the last six games. Snyder said the Wildcats have gotten better overall each game.TCU: Where has that fast-paced, high-scoring offense gone? TCU hadnt been held without a touchdown in a decade, since a 12-3 home win over Texas Tech in 2006. The Horned Frogs also had only six points in their previous home game -- They had an extra point blocked after a touchdown in a 31-6 loss to Oklahoma State two weeks ago.HE SAID ITWere going to have to grow up or go recruit. Thats what I told them Im doing tomorrow, Im going recruiting. Got to grow up. Cant be shaking your head and putting your head down when you get beat. You got to grow up. Thats what 4-year-olds do. Thats not what men do. You got to grow up. -- Patterson.BETTER THAN PREDICTEDKansas State was the preseason pick to finish eighth in the Big 12. The Wildcats instead finished fourth. Every year it seems like we come out and prove people wrong, linebacker Trent Tanking said.TAKEN AWAYBoth teams thought they had defensive touchdowns. TCU defensive end Josh Carraway scooped up what initially was ruled a fumble by Ertz and returned it 6 yards. Replay overturned the call to an incomplete pass. In the fourth quarter, officials ruled that TCU running back Kyle Hicks forward progress had been stopped before he fumbled and K-State took the ball to the end zone.UP NEXTKansas State and TCU both wait to find out for sure Sunday where they will be going for their bowl games. While the Wildcats will likely return to Texas for their bowl game, the Horned Frogs could also be playing an SEC team in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
