CARSON, Calif. Air Jordan 11 Bred Pas Cher . -- Just a few months after Landon Donovan thought he might be finished with soccer, he re-signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday with his passion rekindled. Donovan agreed to a multiyear contract extension that could make him the highest-paid player in MLS if he reaches incentives within the deal. His decision to stick with the Galaxy is another turn in an eventful year for the fleet-footed midfielder widely considered the best player in American history. "Im very proud of what Ive accomplished," Donovan said at a news conference in an upscale club at StubHub Center. "Im very happy in the present, but I have a lot more to achieve. This is not a reward for what Ive done. This is something Im going to earn." The Galaxy did not announce terms of his contract. After winning his fifth MLS Cup title last December, the 31-year-old Donovan spent the winter on a self-imposed sabbatical, battling burnout and exhaustion from 14 years of pro soccer. He returned in late March to fulfil the final year of his current Galaxy contract, but missed the first month of the MLS season and fell out of favour with U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann. But the top scorer in U.S. national team history has been rejuvenated by the Galaxys unwavering support and his resurgence with the American team. With the perspective of time and distance, he has embraced the prospect of more challenges to chase, including a fourth World Cup appearance. "Was this day ever in doubt? Yeah, for a lot of reasons," Donovan said. "I didnt know five months ago if I wanted to keep playing much longer. This summer, through a lot of work and through a lot of support from friends, family, the Galaxy, its now very clear to me that I want to keep playing. I really enjoy this game. I love it. Ive found my passion again, and Im excited about it." Donovan has been with the Galaxy since 2005, winning three of his five career MLS Cup titles in his native Southern California. Alongside David Beckham and Robbie Keane, the fleet-footed midfielder led Los Angeles to its second straight MLS championship last December before his break, which included a trip to Cambodia. Now that hes back with MLS glamour franchise as it closes in on another playoff spot for its title defence, Donovan decided he still has much more to do as a soccer trailblazer. Donovan is the third-leading goal-scorer in league history, trailing Jeff Cunningham by just three goals, but hes more interested in winning MLS trophies and fostering the games U.S. growth. "Its a tremendous signing, a historic signing for us," said Dan Beckerman, the CEO of Galaxy owners AEG. "Its overwhelming and staggering what hes accomplished in this league and his career. Hes always demonstrated his commitment to growing soccer in this league and in this country. A lot of success that MLS has had is attributable to his effort." Los Angeles patiently waited for Donovan to return to his current form while negotiating a long-term deal for his future. Donovan said the deal "was as much about respect and feeling wanted as anything," and the Galaxy made sure Donovan knew how much he means to the franchise and the American game. "This is the place I want to end my career," Donovan said. "Ive always wanted to be here. Ive always wanted to play here. When other opportunities arose, they paled in comparison to playing here." Donovan, who previously played with Bayer Leverkusen and Everton, attracted attention from European clubs this year while his MLS future was uncertain. Donovan emerged from his hiatus and subsequent negotiations totally committed to MLS and the Galaxy, saying hes not even interested in going to Europe on loan during the winter. "Ive never made decisions for money, and I think Im a much happier person for it," Donovan said. The Galaxy are grateful to hear hes comfortable and committed. Donovan is one of Los Angeles three designated players -- who can receiver higher salaries than MLS regulars -- joining Irish national team star Keane and U.S. national team defender Omar Gonzalez. "We think weve got three great designated players," said Bruce Arena, the Galaxys longtime coach and general manager. "We couldnt be more thrilled to have them. I think weve got the three best in the league." Donovan has more to accomplish in MLS, but hes also eager for more U.S. national team success. He has played a leading role on the last three World Cup teams while becoming the U.S. national teams career scoring leader in 150 appearances. He returned to the international stage last month with a flourish, scoring five goals and showing off his remarkable playmaking ability while leading the Americans to the CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Donovan then scored four goals in the Galaxys last three games since he returned from the tournament. Donovans return to the Galaxy is more good news for MLS, which welcomed U.S. star Clint Dempsey to Seattle this summer. Donovan believes the league has reached another superlative in its steady growth, and he wants to be part of it. "I think were seeing a little bit of a tipping point right now," Donovan said. "When you have a guy like Clint Dempsey, with all that hes done and the player that he is, wanting to be in our league, it makes a big statement. When you have a young defender who has a plethora of options and Omar wants to stay here, it makes a big statement." Air Max 2015 Noir .

WASHINGTON -- The next time the Washington Capitals face the Carolina Hurricanes, they will know what to expect. Jeff Skinner, Justin Peters and Carolina caught Washington by surprise Tuesday night in a 4-1 victory that left the Capitals lamenting the attitude they brought into this Metropolitan Division matchup. Skinner had two goals and an assist and Peters stopped 26 shots for the Hurricanes, who had lost two straight and six of eight before bouncing back to match their most lopsided victory of the season. "Took the team too lightly, I think," Capitals defenceman Karl Alzner said. "We watched the video, saw how things were going, theyve got injuries, all that kind of stuff. Thats bad on us." Skinners two goals and three points both tied career highs. Now in his fourth NHL season, the 21-year-old Toronto native last scored two goals in a game in January 2013, against Buffalo. Skinner was playing in his seventh game after missing the previous 11 with an upper body injury. "He got off to a great start and then he got hurt," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "Now hes starting to get in the groove again. Hes a goal scorer, and if you give him a chance hes going to score." Being lucky doesnt hurt. Skinner gave Carolina a 1-0 lead at 10:21 of the first period on a shot from the right side that struck goaltender Braden Holtbys bent left leg and bounced into the net. "I think sometimes things just go your way," Skinner said. "The first goal, I just sort of tried to put it on net and it found a way in. Sometimes, thats just the way it goes." Skinner connected on a wrist shot from the left circle to make it 2-0 at 11:18 of the second period. Lesss than three minutes later, he got an assist on a power-play goal by Andrej Sekera.

Im happy for him." After Sekera scored, Jiri Tlusty connected less than a minute later for a 4-0 lead. Mike Greens long-awaited first goal of the season, with Washington on the power play at 6:39 of the third period, ruined Peters bid for his fourth career shutout. Two of the goaltenders three NHL shutouts are against the Capitals. "Theyve got a lot of firepower there," Peters said. "Green made a nice shot. Im just happy I was able to stick with it and get the win." Holtby was 4-2 with a 1.84 goals-against average in six career games against Carolina, but in this one he was pulled before the third period after yielding four goals on 23 shots. Two of Washingtons seven defeats at home this season have come against the Hurricanes. The loss ended the Capitals two-game winning streak. "I think every team goes through their highs and lows," Green said. "We have been very successful at going through streaks in the past, and thats maybe why it seems like we are so up and down."
