BOSTON -- Living dangerously? Or just business as usual, showing off their resiliency and character? Its probably a bit of both for the never-say-die Boston Bruins, who climbed out of what looked to be a deep hole with four third-period goals for a stirring 5-3 comeback win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday afternoon. Chris Chelios Blackhawks Jersey . The scoring spree started midway through the final period, lasted seven minutes 58 seconds, and buried the Canadiens who had seemed in control after Thomas Vaneks second power-play goal of the game gave them a 3-1 lead 6:30 into the third. With each goal, the sellout crowd of 17,565 Bruins faithful at the TD Garden roared louder. At golf courses across the continent, Toronto Maple Leafs must have felt the Habs pain during the third-period collapse. The Vancouver Canucks were probably also cringing at their summer retreats. It was the Bruins first four-goal period in the playoffs since a 5-2 decision over the Canucks in Game 6 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final. The win sends both teams to Montreal with the second-round playoff series tied at one game apiece. Game 3 is Tuesday at the Bell Centre. "The way we just battled back through, I felt, a lot of crap that we put up with today was pretty indicative of what our teams all about," said Boston coach Claude Julien. "It just shows that if you focus on the things you need to focus on, this is a pretty good team that can accomplish a lot." Asked to elaborate on what he meant by crap, Julien declined, saying "I think anybody who watched the game knows whats going on there." Thats coach-speak for bad officiating. The Bruins took nine penalties to the Canadiens six and were punished twice on the power play. One of those Boston penalties was a late second-period bench minor. "The referee -- I kind of told him that I didnt agree with his calls," said a straight-faced Julien, drawing laughter. Trailing 3-1 midway through the third period, Boston pulled even on goals by Dougie Hamilton at 10:56 and Patrice Bergeron at 14:17. Reilly Smith scored the go-ahead goal with 3:32 remaining and Milan Lucic added an empty-net goal to cap a remarkable comeback. "Weve got to look at the big picture," said Montreal coach Michel Therrien, looking slightly more morose than usual. "I thought we played really well for 50 minutes. Even in the third period, the first 10 minutes we were almost perfect." "We got some breaks last game and they got the breaks (today)," he added, referring to the Habs 4-3 double-overtime win in Game 1 on Thursday. "So theres no way to panic. Were going home. We know its going to be a long series. Were ready for that." But then he offered a glimpse of the emotions behind the calm mask. "It would have been nice, honestly," he said wistfully. "It would have been nice, because we were in a position to pick up two games here. It would have been a great accomplishment." Hamiltons shot through traffic, on Bostons second shot of the third period, started the comeback. Bergeron then scored on an angled shot that deflected in off defenceman Francis Bouillon. Bad coverage and a bad bounce was how Therrien saw the two goals. Torey Krug found Smith cruising in towards goal and the Bruins forward rifled a shot past Carey Price for Bostons third goal in five minutes 28 seconds. Lucics empty-net goal came with 66 seconds remaining. "They were playing desperate at the end of the game and they found a way to put it in the net," Price said. "Weve just got to regroup, realize what the situation were in, were in a good spot, and move forward." Up until the comeback, penalties and ill discipline had cost the Bruins, who led 1-0 after the first period before giving up three straight goals. The Canadiens, who went 2-for-3 on the power play in Game 1, were 2-for-6 this time out. "I think in the first and mainly the second period, emotions got the best of us," said Smith. "We spent way too much time in the penalty box. Youre not going to come out of the period with a lot of positives after that happens. "Third period, we tried to focus and regroup. After that second intermission, we tried to come out with a different outlook." On Thursday, Boston came back from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits before falling victim to a P.K. Subban shot in the second overtime. Smith, for one, knows that the Houdini approach to playoff wins is probably not the preferred route to victory. "It ended up working out great but its tough when youre relying on the third period to come back in games, for sure." Goalie Tuukka Rask said the comeback showed the Bruins character. "I think we make it unnecessarily hard for ourselves sometimes, but its a great, gutsy win today." Boston outshot Montreal 35-28 Saturday. Including blocked and missed shots, the Bruins have directed 161 shots at goal to Montreals 112 in the first two games. But the margin was much closer Saturday, with Boston holding a 63-54 edge, The Habs pulled ahead late in the second on the power play. Montreal, with four skaters to Bostons three after Andrej Meszaros joined a Hab and Bruin in the box, went ahead 2-1 at 18:09 of the second after Zdeno Chara failed to clear the puck. Montreal reloaded and Subban sent the puck to an unmarked Vanek in front for a tip-in goal. Vanek scored again at 6:30 of the third, tipping in a Subban blast with Hamilton in the box for his third of the playoffs. It was vindication for Vanek, whose play has been under scrutiny of late. Subban, meanwhile, extended his points streak to five games. On the negative side, he was minus-two for the game despite his two assists. Montreals line of Lars Eller, Brian Gionta and Rene Bourque, the best trio in Game 1 with a combined plus-six, was minus-nine Saturday. Chara, meanwhile, finished the afternoon at plus-five. At the other end, Price frustrated the Bruins for most of a second straight game. The Bruins didnt help their cause managing just one shot on goal in the first 10 minutes of the third period until they came alive. Despite all the talk of the need for discipline, there was plenty of niggle in this game with eight minors (four per team) called in the first period alone. Nothing major, but clearly no love lost either. The skirmishes started on the opening faceoff as Bostons Brad Marchand and Montreals Brendan Gallagher, both little magnets for mayhem, tangled. As he was in Game 1, Subban was booed whenever he had the puck. The subject of racial abuse on social media after his winning goal in Game 1, the Montreal defenceman got support from Gary Bettman before the game. The NHL commissioner condemned "bias and hatred," saying "it has no place in our game and its not acceptable." Subban, shaking his wrist, headed to the dressing room during the first period for repairs after getting tangled with Marchand in the corner and making contact with the Bruins skate. He soon returned, showing off his mobility as he skated circles around assorted Bruins. Daniel Paille opened the scoring at 13:02 of the first after Carl Soderberg retrieved a long rebound off the back boards and fired a quick, accurate pass over to his teammate who was unmarked in the slot. It came on Bostons 10th shot, compared to five for Montreal, and followed some fierce Bruin backchecking in the neutral zone. Boston outshot Montreal 13-6 in the period, with Pacioretty taking three for Montreal. The Canadiens came out hot in the second and tied it up at 1:09 after a Boston turnover. The Habs missed two glorious chances -- Rask stopped a Gallagher shot and Brandon Prust was unable to stuff in the rebound -- before Tomas Plekanec retrieved the puck, circled the goal and passed to Mike Weaver whose shot beat Rask through heavy traffic. Montreal had seven of the first eight shots of the second period. A Boston goal with 4:36 remaining in the period was called off, with Lucic ruled to have directed the puck in with his glove. There was no complaint from Lucic, who didnt celebrate. Seconds later, a sprawling Price denied Lucic with a spectacular pad save. Montreal outshot Boston 15-13 in a second period that saw six minors called, with four against the Bruins. Boston, whose power play ranked third in the league with a 21.7 per cent success rate during the regular season, is 0-for-5 with the man advantage through the first two games of the series.

The Toronto Argonauts (11-7) look for an opportunity to repeat as CFL champions when they host the surging Hamilton Tiger-Cats (10-8) on Sunday. http://www.officialblackhawksfanstore.com/authentic-alex-debrincat-blackhawks-jersey/ . -- Mississippi State was crushed twice by Florida last season, once by 35 points and the other by 25.NEW YORK, N.Y. - The officials huddled to sort out the close call, so the TV broadcast showed the clip over and over, the announcers declaring a definite touchdown.Standard fare today — but not so 35 years ago. Mike Renfro, whose lunging catch in the back of the end zone was eventually ruled incomplete, suspects thats why so many fans remember — and rue — the play from the 1979 AFC championship game.Viewers across America took in that moment and fumed, Its clear here in my den, Renfro says.Now fans think that at least a few times per game. Other sports joined the NFL in instituting video reviews, and viewers at home can follow along as their own replay officials.They can watch more and better camera angles in high-definition super slow motion. Rewind the play on their DVRs. Instantly look up analysis and images on social media. Rehash the decision on 24/7 sports television.Officiating is better than its ever been, Mike Pereira insists. But people dont think that.Pereira used to be in charge of ensuring the NFL got calls right. These days, he lets millions of fans know if a call is wrong.After retiring as the leagues officiating chief in 2010, Pereira joined Fox in a newly created role as a rules analyst. The concept proved so popular that other networks hired their own.Hes become such a part of the fabric of watching the game, says John Entz, Foxs executive producer for NFL coverage.Lead announcer Joe Buck used to espouse a less is more philosophy in analyzing questionable calls, not wanting to be burned by his lack of expertise. Then the network added what Buck calls the the greatest gift weve been given: the ability to bring in Pereira to offer an instant, definitive assessment.Fox has leaned on him heavily on critical rulings the last two Sundays.Pereira asserted that pass interference should have been called against the Cowboys in their wild-card win over the Lions. A week later, he correctly predicted that a Dallas catch would be overturned at Green Bay.Buck is no Luddite when it comes to instant replay. Yet he acknowledges he went to sleep two straight Sunday nights feeling a bit conflicted about the thrilling games he had just called: The disputed officiating decisions had overshadowed everything else.The innocence of that is gone, he says.While working the baseball playoffs last fall, Buck happened to catch an old Yankees-Dodgers World Series on MLB Network. There was a close play at first base, and Buck realized he was conditioned to expect nine replays. Instead, the announcers briefly noted it was tough to tell if the runner was safe or out, then moved on.Major League Baseball instituted video reviews for many on-field calls last season after Commissioner Bud Selig long argued human error was part of the game. The NBA has gradually expanded the scope of replay since adopting it in 2002. Brent Seabrook Blackhawks Jersey. The NHL started reviewing goals in 1991, with ongoing discussions about widening the use of video.The NFL first tried instant replay from 1986-91 and introduced the current system in 1999.Those advances allow officials to get more and more calls right. They also may make fans, players and coaches less and less tolerant when mistakes are made.Theres more pressure than ever to get it right, Entz says.But some calls will always be wrong, no matter how much replay is expanded in the future.Of the more than 40,000 plays that took place in the 2014 regular season, NFL spokesman Michael Signora says, officials were graded as correct nearly 96 per cent of the time and averaged fewer than one incorrect call per game.NBA referees are correct at a similar rate when they blow their whistles, says Rod Thorn, the leagues president of basketball operations. But when the accuracy of the calls they dont make is factored in, the percentage dips. Thats one of many pieces of data the NBA is now tracking, to try to keep up with the ever-more-demanding expectations of fans who get to dissect slow-motion, HD replays.The standard has been raised because everybody sees these things now, says Thorn, who has been involved with the league in some fashion since 1963.Watch video of old NFL games, Pereira says, and its conspicuous how many mistakes were made. Pereira wonders if the surging popularity of the sport, not to mention the rise of gambling and fantasy football, leaves fans more invested — and accordingly more infuriated at missed calls.Renfro agrees. He refuses to lament that instant replay wasnt available back in January 1980. In fact, he was ambivalent about the NFL instituting it, describing himself as old school.But as the game — and the money involved — got bigger, he came around to the idea. And he figures the most memorable play of his 10-year career probably had something to do with the policy.Fans who list the non-catch as one of the most notable botched calls in NFL history may not recall this: Had the upstart Houston Oilers been awarded the touchdown against the reigning Super Bowl champion Steelers, it merely would have tied the score late in the third quarter. Pittsburgh went on to win 27-13.What sticks in peoples minds is the loop of Renfros feet touching inbounds while NBCs Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen proclaim a touchdown.In Sundays conference championship games, Pereira and CBSs Mike Carey will be on hand for instant analysis. Pereira believes the NFL benefits from educating fans, and hes careful to disagree with a ruling, not criticize a ref.Still, he knows the scrutiny on each call will be relentless. For officials today, he says, the only acceptable level of performance is perfection.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
