(Sports Network) - After suffering a pair of close losses in Vancouver, the Boston Bruins will try to get on the board in the Stanley Cup Finals tonight when they host the Canucks in Game 3 at TD Garden. The Canucks took the opener of this best-of-seven series by a 1-0 score and then claimed Game 2 in overtime. Boston is hoping a change of venue can help its club pick up a win this evening. The Bruins are 7-3 on home ice in these playoffs and have taken three in a row and seven of their last eight at TD Garden. Meanwhile, Vancouver has a 5-3 record as the visiting club this postseason. Boston, which will also host Game 4 on Wednesday, is in a tough spot historically, as only two teams have ever taken a Cup Finals series after getting swept in the first two games on the road. However, the last time was in 2009 when Pittsburgh beat the Red Wings in seven games despite falling behind 2-0 in the series after losing the first two tests in Detroit. After Game 2, Bruins head coach Claude Julien pointed out that his club lost the first two games on home ice in its opening-round series against Montreal and rebounded to win that series in seven. We didnt come here just to roll over. Were definitely going to go back home and regroup and bounce back, added Julien. Alexandre Burrows is a big reason Boston is down two games and he proved to be a controversial hero for the Canucks in Saturdays 3-2 OT victory. Burrows was not suspended after biting the finger of Bostons Patrice Bergeron in Game 1 and the forward came back with a three-point night in the second contest. He had two goals, including the game-winner 11 seconds into overtime, and an assist in the victory. A critical storyline following the series opener was the playing status of Burrows after he bit Bergeron during a scrum at the end of the first period. The league opted not to suspend the 30-year-old Quebec native, who, in addition to tallying in OT, opened the scoring with a power-play goal and set up Daniel Sedins game-tying marker in the third period. If we start using that as an excuse, were a lame team, said Julien about Burrows escaping supplemental discipline. Burrows wasted little time in the extra frame, beating an overly aggressive Tim Thomas on a wraparound and depositing the puck into an open net to give Vancouver a 2-0 lead in this best-of-seven set. Burrows decisive goal was the second-quickest overtime goal in the history of the Stanley Cup Finals. First place belongs to Brian Skrudland of the Montreal Canadiens, who scored just nine seconds past regulation in Game 2 of the 1986 Cup Finals at Calgary. Anybody that follows our team knows hes a really important part of our team, said Vancouver head coach Alain Vigneault about Burrows. He plays five-on-five, he plays [on the] power play, and he kills penalties. Hes one of our go-to guys. Again tonight he came up big in key moments. Roberto Luongo, coming off his fourth career playoff shutout, stopped 28 shots in the win. Milan Lucic and Mark Recchi scored 2:35 apart in the second period for the Bruins, while Thomas finished with 30 saves. Recchi, at 43 years and 123 days, became the oldest player in the history of the Stanley Cup Finals to score a goal. Vancouver won despite playing without one of its top defenseman in Dan Hamhuis. The veteran was injured in Game 1 when he delivered a hip check on Lucic and he sat out the second tilt with an undisclosed issue. Hamhuis is considered day-to-day and will likely be replaced by Andrew Alberts again if he cannot play tonight. However, Canucks forward Manny Malhotra did make his dramatic return to action on Saturday, playing in his first game since sustaining a severe injury to his left eye on March 16 against the Colorado Avalanche. Its been a remarkable recovery for Malhotra, who was originally thought to be out for the season when he was hit in the eye with a puck back in March. Wearing a full-face shield, Malhotra only logged seven-plus minutes of ice time in Game 2 but the faceoff-wiz did win six of his seven draws. Vancouver has never won a Stanley Cup title and is in the Finals for the first time since 1994 when they were ousted by the New York Rangers in seven games. However, the Canucks, who won the Presidents Trophy as the club with the best regular season record this season, have now won 11 of their last 14 games. The Canucks are not only carrying the hopes of a city and franchise, but also those of a nation. A Canadian team hasnt lifted the Cup since Montreal defeated Wayne Gretzkys Los Angeles Kings in 1993. The Bruins, meanwhile, have won five Stanley Cups, but none since 1972. They are 0-5 in the Finals since then, the last loss coming to Edmonton in 1990. Boston is 5-22 in Cup Finals games since the 72 championship and has lost 12 of its last 13 contests on the NHLs biggest stage. The Canucks and Bruins have never faced each other in the playoffs and the clubs only met once this season with Boston notching a 3-1 decision at Rogers Arena on Feb. 26.

Two rivals, on and off the field, the fixture has always brought a certain cache. The history. The footballing pedigree. Some of the biggest names the game has ever seen. The match has always been a statement of intent, with bragging rights on the line between nations no stranger to hostility. The two nations domestic leagues are arguably the most entertaining and watchable in the world. Yet, the quality and play of the national teams are polar opposites. Even now, an England-Germany fixture sizzles on the surface. Until the teams hit the field. A match buried amidst European World Cup qualification playoffs saw a German B team handily beat Englands first team 1-0 Tuesday. The loss was Englands second of the International break and marked the first back-to-back home defeats for the Three Lions dating back to 1977. A friendly is a friendly. You take what you see with a grain of salt, but that doesnt mean true class cant shine through. The way a team plays trumps the scoreline in such a contest. Take for example Brazils 2-1 win over Chile at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Tuesday night. It was a purposeful victory from a team with true ambition. Quality oozed from every move. Luiz Felipe Scolari and his side treated the game as much more than merely a spectacle, this was preparation to contend in 2014. The term "business like" wouldnt do the team justice, no matter who is wearing yellow, each player filled a role and the talent shone through within the context of team-first. The ball movement superior, the team effort near complete. England meanwhile was blasé, failing to threaten throughout. Sound familiar? An England team lacking cutting edge and precision, weve seen it all before. This isnt to compare England and Brazil. Perhaps its somewhat relevant considering England is a spot better, ranked 10th in FIFAs World rankings. Its perception versus reality; England is simply and thoroughly mediocre. Manager Roy Hodgson pointed to Englands inferior passing and finishing as the difference in the loss. Hes absolutely right. The lack of quality in these areas has plagued the team for decades. And even when the team had a finisher like an Alan Shearer, they were missing consistent build-up play and team identity. Nothing has changed in 2013. Remember, this was wasnt Germanys first team were talking about and still, England was out-classed. At home. As tweeted by Rob Harris (@RobHarris) of the Associated Press:"Im going to be an optimist about this" - the tune rings out in Wembley after Englands first consecutive home loss in 36 years. The upbeat lyrics from the track Pompeii by Bastille were preferred to the bands other hit song Flaws. There is very little to be optimistic for England supporters heading into Brazil. Unless the December 6th World Cup draw renders a group with Switzerland, Iran and Algeria, England will be in tough to progress. Even if they do advance, then what? Its plain to see this team is as second rate as other England out-fits dating back to 1990. The team was booed off the field after the final whistle from the remaining beleaguered voices at Wembley. They know this team isnt good enough and if it wasnt for an inferior qualifying group, England could very well have been taking part in a playoff match Tuesday, or even worse. Its the same song and dance for the national team. p; The domestic league thrives while the supposed best of the best cant get out of first gear internationally.dddddddddddd These are the same players that thrive in the most competitive domestically league in the world. The England side boasts one of the joint top goal scorers in the Premier League and two of the joint top assist-men. These are important players for the biggest clubs in England. Yet when they come together for country, the result falls short of club form. Its nonsensical when pundits suggest the downfall in the development of English players is due to too many foreign players in the Premier League. This excuse needs to stop. The jobs of top English players arent being threatened by a foreign legion. Thats an excuse saved for those not good enough. Top English players star, and play alongside top foreign recruits in the BPL. 15 players active in Tuesdays European World Cup playoffs ply their trade in the Premier League. Six Brazilians taking centre stage at the Rogers Centre belong to Premier League teams as well. Ive always been of the mindset you become a better player by playing with the best competition possible. In training and in games, you need to be pushed. These foreign players bring the best out of their English brethren and it cant be said foreign Premier League players regularly outshine their English teammates in league play. But internationally, theres no comparison. Blame Englands system and formation instead. A basic 4-4-2 is constantly mindlessly rolled out, no matter the manager. Its predictable, boring, and doesnt suit the strengths of the players. Englands top player Wayne Rooney is misused and significant talent available is wasted. Without a generational type player like Cristiano Ronaldo, its about putting players in roles they can thrive. This boils down to identity. A national footballing identity for England is absent. What is trademark of England football? It used to be the unattractive long-ball, which fit the size and strength of the players of previous generations. This current generation is lost, there is no continuity. Coaching is part of this. Englands shortage of top qualified coaches, 1,161 elite coaches in comparison to Spains 12,700 or Germanys 5,500 speaks volumes. They simply dont know how to get the best out of what they have. Ill give Hodgson some credit: although the style remains as dry as the Sahara and unimaginative as ever, younger players are getting a look. Case and point is the bright play of Andros Townsend, but hes still relatively unproven and far from a difference maker. There was too much reliance in the past on the old guard. No longer are John Terry and Frank Lampard among others the key cogs and thats a good thing. Only Steven Gerrard remains. Although Gerrards club form warrants consideration, the Captain doesnt provide the same product for the national team, he never has. So here we are. Just over six months out from the World Cup, and the bar has lowered for England. It perhaps has not been lowered for the English media. And perhaps expectations remain sky-high for those choosing to ignore the inevitable. The realist looks beyond who plays for England, instead acknowledging the what and how is not good enough. The bar need be lowered. This international break has done just that. Now if we can just keep this in mind come June. @WheelerTSNgareth.wheeler@bellmedia.ca cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
