| Rene Bourque will play for the Montreal Canadiens tonight in Game 3 of the teams second-round series against the visiting Boston Bruins. Mitch Richmond Warriors Jersey . Bourque leads the Canadiens with four goals through six games of the playoffs but was forced to miss Mondays practice with the flu. You can listen to the game live on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal or on TSN.ca/Montreal. Tuesdays skate was optional with defencemen Andrei Markov and P.K. Subban, forwards Thomas Vanek, Max Pacioretty and David Desharnais as well as goaltender Carey Price among those who elected to skip the skate. The series shifts to Montreal after the Canadiens and Bruins split the first two games in Boston. Facing the prospect of a two-game hole in the conference semis, the Bruins sent everything they could at Carey Price on Saturday. One shot knuckled into the ice and skipped past Price to tie the game. Barely two minutes later, Price couldnt get all the way over to stop Reilly Smith. Smith scored the go-ahead marker during a four-goal flurry to end the third period as Boston came back to beat Montreal, 5-3, in Game 2 on Saturday after dropping Game 1 in double overtime. The Bruins rebounded from Thursdays Game 1 loss, when P.K. Subban scored on a Montreal power play 4:17 into the second overtime, and they rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the second meeting with 13 1/2 minutes to play. "Weve been a strong third period team the entire year," said Smith. "We started getting bounces. ... It ended up working out great, but its tough when youre relying on the third period to come back." After Thomas Vanek scored his second goal of the game for Montreal -- both on deflections from Subban -- Dougie Hamilton beat Price with a high wrist shot from the point at 10:56 of the third off a pass from Brad Marchand. Just over three minutes later, Patrice Bergeron picked a loose puck off the wall, and his harmless shot from the right boards looked like it had little chance of going into until it took that funky hop next to defenseman Francis Bouillon and several feet in front of Price, going in over his shoulder. Smiths winner with 3:32 left came after a cross-ice pass from Torey Krug was tipped by Brendan Gallagher, slowing it down before it reached Smith in the right circle for his near-side wrist shot. "They poured it on at the end of the game," said Price. "I thought they got pretty lucky. They were playing desperate ... and they found a way to put it in the net." Milan Lucic added an empty-netter and Daniel Paille scored earlier for the top-seeded Bruins. Tuukka Rask made 25 saves for Boston, which also lost Game 1 to Detroit in the first round, then won the next four to advance to the second round for the fifth time in six years. The Bruins, Stanley Cup winners in 2011, made it to the Cup Finals for the second time in three seasons last spring before bowing out to Chicago in six games. Mike Weaver had a goal for Montreal and Price gave up four on 34 shots. He had 25 saves on 26 shots in the first two periods. "I thought we put ourselves in a position where we thought we could take the win," said Subban. "But its very tough to go into an opponents building and steal two games in the playoffs. Its not an easy thing to do. And unless you play a full 60 (minutes) youre not going to be able to do it. We didnt play a full 60 today." The Original Six rivals are meeting in the playoffs for the 34th time. The Canadiens are 24-9 in the previous 33 series, but the Bruins have won the last two in 2008 and 2011. Game 4 is set for Thursday in Montreal. The Bruins and Habs split two meetings at the Bell Centre during the 2013-14 regular season, but Boston has claimed four of the past six road encounters in this series.

While he lets his agent do that leg work, the legendary goaltender keeps working out and skating as much as he can in the hopes that his NHL career isnt over.More than a month into the season, Brodeur is 42 and without a job. But he hasnt given up.I dont want to cheat myself on any opportunities, Brodeur said Monday night before the Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony. I still have the fire, Id like to play again, but its understandable with the quality of goaltending around the league. The youth of the quality of goaltending is pretty tremendous. Well see if my experience is valued to an organization or not.Brodeur is the all-time leader in wins (688) and shutouts (124) and won three Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils (1995, 2000 and 2003). He posted save percentages of .901 the past two seasons, split time with Cory Schneider his final year in New Jersey and left as a free agent over the summer.No team signed Brodeur on July 1 when free agency opened, and when he was asked how close he got to a contract, the Montreal native quipped: Depends what you mean close. Im still here, so it wasnt that close.Brodeur conceded his wait for another opportunity was getting a little long but insisted hell stay ready. In the mean time, he has been travelling, spending time with his children and watching games.One thing Brodeur isnt interested in is playing for Canada at the upcoming Spengler Cup.I have some conversations, but right now thats not my goal is to play around Christmastime in Switzerland, thats for sure, Brodeur said.As for NHL chances, Brodeur said the teams he might be interested in playing for and those who want him might be different. But the career starter is not going to be picky about being a starter again.Im willing to play in any kind of role that would be offered to me to a certain extent, in the right fit and in the right market, Brodeur said. For me, its not about ego orr anything. Authentic Stephen Curry Jersey. I just love to play the game, and I know I can help the team out somehow. I just want to try and get an opportunity. The role will be the role that will be assigned to me.Its hard to envision a perfect scenario for Brodeur. There already seems to be a surplus of goaltending, with the Minnesota Wild waiving Josh Harding and other previous backups like Jacob Markstrom, Dan Ellis, Kevin Poulin and Peter Budaj are under contract in the minors.Schneider has started the first 18 games of the season for the Devils, who have alternated veteran Scott Clemmensen and rookie Keith Kinkaid as his backup. Its a much different world for a franchise that handed the reins to Brodeur for two decades.Along with Brodeur, Ilya Bryzgalov and Tomas Vokoun are without jobs and could be more attractive options because theyre younger. Bryzgalov had a bit of a revitalization last year with the Wild and went to camp with them before getting released.Brodeur never got that far, and its difficult for him to stay in playing shape while getting ice time three or four times a week and practising with a couple of shooters at a time. But dont mistake that for an unwillingness to play right away if a team comes calling.It depends, it depends the situation youre in, Brodeur said. If you need a goalie tomorrow, that could be a tough one, but, hey, Im willing to do it. It doesnt matter. Ive done it before. Ive came back from injury without playing for four or five months and jumped right in it.Standing on the red carpet before the 2014 Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Brodeur didnt play into the talk about his own night potentially being a few years away.Thats the greatest honour you can have as a hockey player is to be part of this, he said. Its something that if it happens will be an awesome feeling.Reminded that if he plays this year, it backs up his eligibility by a year, Brodeur smiled.Thats all right, he said. Thats no big deal.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter NFL Jerseys China ' ' ' |
