BOSTON - The Boston Bruins end the season as losers.
Koa Misi Dolphins Jersey . Rubbing salt in the wound, Bruins winger Milan Lucic has been labelled a sore loser in some
quarters. The hulking Bruin didnt abandon his prickly game when the
best-of-seven series ended in a 3-1 victory for Montreal in Wednesdays Game 7 at
the TD Garden. Lucic had words with several Canadiens during the traditional
post-series handshake on the ice. The 25-year-old from Vancouver aggressively
shook hands and had words with fourth-liner Dale Weise and defenceman
Alexei Emelin. #WhatLucicToldWeise was trending on Twitter in Canada on
Thursday. An animated Lucic held onto Weises hand as he had his say and then had
words with Emelin. Montreal forward David Desharnais, who was behind the
defenceman, put his hands on Emelins elbow during the exchange, as if to guide
him past. "Milan Lucic had a few things to say to a couple of guys," said Weise,
who declined to go into specifics. "You look at a guy like Shawn Thornton who
has been around the league and he plays hard and he plays that role and he had
good things to say to everybody. He won with class and Milan Lucic just couldnt
do that. Well, I wont get into what he said, its just a poor, its just a poor
way to lose.” The Bruin reportedly said: "Im going to kill you next year," with
an F-Bomb thrown in for good measure. Lucic, clearly still feeling the emotion
of the loss, was unrepentant in the locker-room. "Its said on the ice so itll
stay on the ice. So If he (Weise) wants to be a baby about it - he can make it
public." Asked about allegations by some Habs of Boston disrespect during the
series, Lucic was agog. "Disrespect? I dont know what theyre talking about.
Disrespect? Having a goal celebration, what kind of disrespect is that? Im not
going to say anything. Ive got nothing to say about that." Lucics behaviour
during hockeys time-honoured handshake line, seen as a mark of respect, drew a
quick response. "All he can do now, though, is apologize for his error in
judgment," Adam Kaufman wrote in boston.com. "Or hell be known as another guy
who disrespected arguably the greatest tradition in all of sports." "Milan Lucic
probably wont be up for Sportsman of the Year," tweeted Sports Illustrated in
the link to its story. Others were more forgiving. But Lucic wasnt the only one
talking tough after the game. "Great to see a Canadian team finally take out the
Bruins in a game 7," tweeted Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The Bruins beat the
Vancouver Canucks in seven games to win the Stanley Cup in 2011. Boston has also
taken out both Toronto and Montreal in Game 7s in recent years.
Jake Stoneburner Dolphins Jersey . -- The Chicago Bears say they have agreed to a one-year contract with centre
Roberto Garza.
Jay Ajayi Elite Jersey . And, just for good measure, lets say the lottery team finishes the game short-handed because two
starters come down with the very same injury.Starting pitching is one of the
areas where the Toronto Blue Jays need improvement and after rumours of the Jays
interest in Chicago Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija surfaced on Saturday, general
manager Alex Anthopoulos joined MLB Network Radio to discuss his off-season
progress. "I wont comment on specific rumours, but I will say were definitely
exploring starters with teams," Anthopoulos told MLB Network Radio on Sunday.
"We have not made an offer to anybody with respect to a starter. If there is
something out there, that we have made an offer, that is not accurate. That
doesnt mean we are not inquiring." As far as direction goes, upgrading the
rotation remains a priority for the Jays. "Were going to earmark most of our
money for starting pitching," said Anthopoulos. When asked about interest in
free agent pitchers Matt Garza and Bronson Arroyo, and catchers
Jarrod Saltalamacchia and A.J. Pierzynski, Annthopoulos said the Jays have been
checking out the market on many players.
Kenny Stills Dolphins Jersey. . "Weve probably talked about all of those guys; definitely all of the starters. (We)
definitely made calls on all of those guys trying to get a sense on what the
price might be," said Anthopoulos. "Whether its guys like Garza and so on, those
guys are clear cut; they would be upgrades to any team. I think any team would
have interest in guys like that." Anthopoulos also stated that dealing either of
their sluggers has not yet entered into the equation. "We havent entertained the
idea of trading either Bautista or Encarnacion," said Anthopoulos. Earlier this
month, Howard Eskin of FOX Philadelphia and WIP Radio reported that the Blue
Jays and Philadelphia Phillies were in serious talks on a deal that would see
four-time All Star and two-time home run champion Jose Bautista return to the
National League and the Phillies.
