CHICAGO -- Blackhawks winger?Marian Hossa became the 44th NHL player to reach 500 career goals in Tuesday nights 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.Obviously, doing it at home in front of our fans, in Game 4 [of the season], I couldnt be happier, Hossa said. Especially, you know, the guys ended up winning this game; it feels great.Hossa, 37, slid a power-play backhander through the legs of Philadelphia goaltender Michal Neuvirth at 5:04 of the second period, giving the Blackhawks a 4-0 lead. He then skated behind the net and threw his arms in the air before skating over to Chicagos bench, where he was greeted with smiles, handshakes and hugs.Its a tremendous accomplishment, tremendous career, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. Hes got some offensive numbers that really are great to look at. The best part of his game is the consistency of being a pro, night in and night out, being responsible on both sides of the puck, plays hard every single game and night. Its a good example for our young guys learning how to play the right way. Its nice to see him make that accomplishment tonight.The crowd of 21,263 at the United Center roared when the milestone goal was announced, and Hossa waved his stick to acknowledge the standing ovation.What an amazing moment that was, Blackhawks winger?Patrick Kane said. You could tell he was excited. The crowd was excited. Pretty cool celebration with him coming over to the bench and getting everyone involved too.Hossa left in the third period after blocking a shot. He said after the game he would know more on Wednesday about an injury he sustained. After picking up an assist in each of Chicagos first three games, he was happy to get goal No. 500 out of the way.Hossa, who signed a 12-year, $62.8 million contract with Chicago in July 2009, is beginning his eighth season with the Blackhawks. The rugged winger, long one of the NHLs best two-way players, helped the Blackhawks to Stanley Cup titles in 2010, 2013 and 2015.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

On New Years Day, I wrote a message on a running bib: In 2016, I #ResolveToRun a BQ (Boston Qualifying) time. In February, six weeks before a marathon I had signed up for, I injured my hamstring. Then in March, I received a lottery spot in the Nov. 6 New York City Marathon.On Sunday, I unfortunately didnt achieve my Boston qualifying goal.I did, however, run almost 10 minutes faster than my personal best. I completed the 26.2-mile trek through New York City in 3:48:16.The weather was nearly perfect (though I couldve done without the 15-mile-per-hour wind), my body felt strong and I was running in my favorite city. The first mile, windy and uphill on the Verrazano Bridge, was about a minute-and-half behind my goal pace of 8:00 minutes per mile. While you cant win a marathon in the first mile, you can certainly lose it. But I didnt panic. I knew what my body had to give, and I couldnt worry about making up that time in the second mile -- it would have to be throughout the race.I felt very strong through mile 23. The Queensboro Bridge was quiet and offered spectacular views of Manhattan. Around mile 17, I saw my mom, my boyfriend and my best friend who had surprised me for the weekend. Near mile 18 I found out other friends were cheering me on, and at 103rd Street I met up with one of my running partners.But at mile 23, the slight incline of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan became intimidating, and my hamstring really started to feel the pounding. By mile 24, I decided I could give everything I had left into running the best personal record I could. I saw my mom, boyfriend and best friend again at mile 25.5 and had tears in my eyes because I was going to accomplish that new personal record.As I finished the race, I pulled out my phone to take a selfie with my medal, and my dad FaceTimed me to congratulate me onn my accomplishment.ddddddddddddShaving just one second off a personal best is a huge accomplishment -- but to cut nearly 10 minutes is downright incredible. But it comes with mixed feelings as I relive the race over and over again. Im sad to not have reached my Boston qualification goal, but nothing can take away what my body accomplished on Sunday. That night, I celebrated with family and friends with pizza, beer and a smile on my face.The Monday after the marathon in New York is a great sight -- many runners from the previous day waddle around wearing their medals over work clothes, and engraving machines are up and running. The only medals I engrave are the ones Ive received from the New York City Marathon, and to know that this years medal has my personal best time on the back is huge.As I hung up my medal on Tuesday, I was reminded why I love the crazy endeavor of running marathons. Training can be hell, but you find a way to bring yourself back from it through the joy and pride of race day. Race times may not always be your target, and what matters is that youve run a marathon and you can say youve accomplished a huge goal.Im really sad that this particular marathon journey is over, and its been difficult to sit down and evaluate the health of my body. I dont know what my next marathon will be, and I dont really know when I will run again, but I am still a runner and I ended this journey with a 3:48:16 personal best.Megan Flood is a seven-time marathoner and half marathoner.
