CHICAGO -- Brian Campbell wanted to return to Chicago and the Blackhawks were more than willing to welcome him back.The veteran defenseman is back with the team that he helped win the Stanley Cup in 2010, agreeing to a one-year contract on Friday.Its where I wanted to be. Its where my heart was, said Campbell, who lives in the Chicago area with his family. It just makes our lives perfect. Were so ecstatic.The 37-year-old Campbell played in Chicago from 2008 to 2011 and was a key part of a team that brought home the first championship since 1961. The Blackhawks also won titles in 2013 and 2015 with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane leading the way. But Campbell was gone by then.Campbell spent the past five seasons with the Florida Panthers, appearing in all of the teams 376 regular-season games. He had 28 goals and 147 assists and won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2011-12 after scoring 53 points (four goals, 49 assists). He was the first defenseman since Red Kelly (1954) to win the award.Campbell had six goals and 25 assists in 82 games last season and led NHL defensemen with a plus-31 plus-minus rating.Brian brings so much to the table, Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said. His overall game maybe is a little bit underrated. Obviously, hes got great mobility still. Hes always been an offensive player, so he can play on the power play and add offensively. He was relied upon to kill penalties and he can do a lot of things.Toews was clearly glad to have him back, posting on Twitter: Sooouuuup! Happy to have (at)bcampbell-51 back in Chicago. Welcome home.In his first stint with the Blackhawks, Campbell had 19 goals and 98 assists in 215 games. In 43 playoff games for Chicago, he had 14 assists and four goals -- including four assists and a goal during the championship run.Campbell said he could have made more money elsewhere but gave the Blackhawks a discount because it was the right fit for him on a personal -- as well as professional -- level. His wife is from the area. They have two young daughters, and he said he has been welcomed into his neighborhood.I wasnt going to play for league minimum, but I was definitely ready to take a lot less, Campbell said. This morning I had to get up and be comfortable with coming to the rink every day, and Im truly ready to go and compete my hardest for the Blackhawks.While the Blackhawks welcomed back Campbell, forward Andrew Ladd agreed to a seven-year deal with the New York Islanders. Acquired at the trade deadline from Winnipeg, Ladd had eight goals and four assists over 19 games in his second stint in Chicago.Bowman said he does not expect the Blackhawks to make another significant addition. He also confirmed the team has placed defenseman David Rundblad on buyout waivers.I think hes looking to maybe pursue some other opportunities, whether its in the NHL or maybe in Europe, Bowman said. I cant speak for him. But I think hes still a young guy. He wants to get back to playing a lot of hockey, and I know thats the reason that he wanted to go over to Europe midseason. We were willing to honor that request. Were gonna let him find a spot where he knows hes gonna be a regular player, every day, a lot of minutes.The Blackhawks also agreed to one-year contracts with forwards Sam Carrick, Pierre-Cedric Labrie and Spencer Abbott.Carrick, 24, played in three games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season. The 30-year-old Labrie spent the past two seasons with the Rockford IceHogs, Chicagos American Hockey League affiliate.Abbott, 28, had 14 goals and 21 assists for the Swedish Hockey Leagues Frolunda Indians last season. He played for Rockford during the 2014-15 season. Howie Kendrick Nationals Jersey .

After their semifinal victory -- on the 4th of July, no less -- these 35-year-old identical twins from California are one win away from becoming the first team in the history of Open-era tennis to hold all four major titles at the same time. "The Bryan Slam," theyll call it, but dont look for that news to knock baseball, hot-dog-eating contests or Andy Murray out of the headlines in either the United States or Britain. The Bryan brothers play doubles, and despite their history making success, they live in a world where their games arent fully appreciated and fame is hard to come by. "The hardcore tennis fan loves doubles, but the casual sports fan doesnt know enough about it," Mike Bryan said. They love stars. Doubles players arent stars." If their list of accomplishments belonged to a singles player, theyd be considered among the best of all time. --Their 14 Grand Slam tournament titles would tie them for second with Pete Sampras. --Their 310 weeks at No. 1 would be eight more than Roger Federers record. --Their 90 tournament titles would rank third behind Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl. Instead, they must "settle" on holding the record for doubles in all those categories. Theyve raked in more than $20 million in prize money over their 15 years as pros and have gone 21-3 in Davis Cup matches -- a near sure-thing for a country that, for the first time in 101 years, didnt have a male singles player in the third round of Wimbledon and also saw its last woman go out Wednesday. Quite a resume. Place them outside a tennis tournament, however, and usually, they can walk down the street in peace. "Its the names and the stars," said Jack Nicklaus, the 18-time major golf champion, who was at Wimbledon this week and watched the Bryans play. "The singles players are really good, no question about that. If the doubles players were good enough, theyd be playing singles. To a large degree, I think thats the way most people look at it." Though it struggles for air time, doubles can be entertaining -- the last bastion of 21st-century tennis where a net game, teamwork and a couple of reflex volleys can still carry the day. Nearly two-thirds of frequent recreational players in the U.S. play doubles, according to the most recent study by the U.S. Tennis Association.dddddddddddd At the pro level, it can be quite an entertaining show, as was the brothers 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory Thursday over the newly formed team of Indias Rohan Bopanna and Frances Edouard Roger-Vasselin. "I think they get overlooked and I think the top current singles players very, very seldom play doubles," said Pam Shriver, whose 8 1/2-year partnership with Martina Navratilova produced 20 Grand Slam titles. "I think doubles have always taken a back seat since Open tennis and prize money settled it all." (The lone exception: The Williams sisters, whove combined to win 13 Grand Slam doubles titles.) In their semifinal victory Thursday, the Bryans improved to 8-1 lifetime in Wimbledon five-setters. Their success in the close ones -- and the not-so-close ones -- makes sense, considering theyve been together forever, literally, while other teams come and go, sometimes changing partners by the week. The Bryans opponents in Saturdays final will be Croatias Ivan Dodig and Brazils Marcelo Melo, yet another one of those "honeymoon teams," as the Bryans like to call the new teams. "The sibling relationship might not even hold up under this amount of travel and stress," said Bob Bryan, who plays lefty, while his brother plays right-handed. "Its maybe only the twin relationship that can stand this kind of test of time. I definitely dont think just a normal partnership can hold up under this many years of ups and downs and finger pointing. "Unless you have the confidence that your partners not going to be looking around for someone else after a heartbreak loss. I mean, thats what we have. We have that loyalty that no matter how bad I return during a stretch, I know hes not going to be talking to (Daniel) Nestor, or texting Nestor" a 40-year-old Canadian doubles specialist. Almost every time they step onto the court, they will be both the favourite and an undercard. They accept both fates with equal enthusiasm. "As an athlete, youve got to cherish those moments," Mike said. "Were on the road and you can get mentally tired of those moments when youre playing week in, week out, basically putting your(self) out on the line, having guys gun for you because youre the number-one team. But then you go home and you realize you need that adrenaline rush, and youre itching to get back out there." ' ' '
