SHAWINIGAN, Que. . -- New Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin vowed that his search for a head coach would be confidential and he kept to his word when he arrived at the Mastercard Memorial Cup on Friday night. Bergevin wore a wide grin as he brushed aside question after question from the media about who may replace Randy Cunneyworth behind the bench, and when the announcement will be made. "Its going well," said Bergevin, who replaced the fired Pierre Gauthier last month and then announced that Cunneyworth would no longer be head coach. "Its going to be confidential, but slowly its moving forward. "I cant tell you exactly when. It could happen soon. It could be a little longer. I dont have a time frame, but Im working on it." He would not say how many candidates he has interviewed or whether he has had followup interviews with any of them. He said there was no deadline to have a coach in place. And he was silent on rumours that the next coach would be Bob Hartley, who spent last season with Zurich in the Swiss league, or on talk of former Canadiens goaltender Patrick Roy, who coaches the junior Quebec Remparts. "There are all kinds of rumours about everything. I just focus on my job," said Bergevin, with an ever wider smile. Bergevin has also been busy working with the scouting staff ahead of next months draft in Pittsburgh, where the Canadiens hold the third overall pick. He did not rule out trading up or down at the draft if it was advantageous to the club. And he did not dismiss the notion of picking a Russian player despite concerns they may opt to sign in the KHL. The top-rated player for the draft is Russian Nail Yakupov, and Mikhail Grigorenko is also highly rated. "If you limit yourself to non-Russians, youre not doing your job properly," he said. He had high praise for assistant GM Larry Carriere, who stayed on when Gauthier was fired, but may add another assistant to his staff. Bergevin is to spend the weekend at the Memorial Cup mainly watching four Canadiens prospects -- Michael Bournival, Morgan Ellis, Nathan Beaulieu and Jarred Tinordi. He wont meet with them at the tournament, however. "As an ex-player, I know they need to focus on the tournament," Bergevin said. "I just want to stay in the background and leave them their space so they can help their team win." [url=http://www.ravensofficialteamstore.com/autographed-torrey-smith-jersey-xg-8...

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- When ace Jered Weaver limped off the mound with a back injury after just 12 pitches, the Los Angeles Angels probably figured their winning streak would be the least of their losses Monday night. After nine innings of relief pitching, 15 hits, three errors, two blown three-run leads, and 3 hours, 38 minutes of exhausting play, Mark Trumbos soaring homer ended an uncommonly meaningful victory for the revitalized Angels. Trumbo finished it with a shot to left into the sold-out stands, and the Angels overcame Weavers first-inning injury exit for their seventh consecutive win, a wild 9-8 victory over the New York Yankees. Trumbo connected on the final pitch from Cory Wade (0-1), circling the bases for a home-plate celebration accompanied by a few fireworks. After a horrible start to a season of high expectations, the Angels (25-25) are finally back to .500 for the first time since April 9. "I was super proud of the way we came together against a really good team," said Trumbo, who also doubled and tripled. "Of course theyre going to score some runs in that situation, but its huge the way we came back from the first inning on." Howie Kendrick and Kendrys Morales drove in three runs apiece for the Angels (25-25), who snapped the Yankees five-game winning streak. Mike Trout homered and Albert Pujols had two hits for the Angels, who got a hit from every batter. Los Angeles also survived terrible defence in its return from a revitalizing 10-game road trip that pulled them out of last place in the AL West. "Hopefully its a breakout game," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "During the streak, we have not been swinging the bat well. Weve been doing just enough to win, so hopefully this will get us to a different place." Weaver left with a stabbing pain in his lower back after facing only four batters, but Los Angeles lineup matched its season highs for runs and hits, capped the third game-winning homer of Trumbos young career. Jordan Walden (2-1) finished the nine-inning relief effort, escaping a bases-loaded jam of his own making in the ninth on Derek Jeters grounder. "I cant say enough for the guys that went out there (in relief)," Scioscia said. "Those guys stepped up and did great." Russell Martins two-out, two-run double in a three-run seventh tied it at 8 for the Yankees, who were on their longest winning streak of the season. Curtis Granderson hit his 15th homer and Mark Teixeira hit his fourth home run in four games, but New York left the bases loaded in the first and ninth inningss.

"A lot of guys had opportunities tonight, but any time you put eight (runs) on the board, you want to get that win," said Nick Swisher, who went 0 for 4 and ran into Granderson on a full sprint in a scary third-inning outfield collision. Phil Hughes yielded 11 hits and seven runs while pitching into the sixth inning of a rough start near his hometown for the Yankees. Hughes had a 3-0 lead in the first inning after Weavers exit, but the Angels erased the deficit just six batters into the bottom half of the inning, with Kendricks two-run single capping the rally. "That was the turning point," said Trumbo, who had an RBI double in the rally. "That showed some fight." Weaver had the first significant back trouble of his career in his first home start since throwing a no-hitter at Angel Stadium on May 2. Weaver gave up leadoff hits to Jeter and Granderson before Jeter scored when Gold Glove shortstop Erick Aybar booted a grounder. Weaver then stumbled awkwardly off the mound after a pitch to Robinson Cano, leaving the game after attempting a warmup pitch. "It felt like somebody stabbed me in the back," said Weaver, who will have an MRI on Tuesday. "Its disappointing, especially because you get up for games like this." The Yankees went up 3-0 -- but unlike the punchless team that was shut out a franchise-record eight times in its first 36 games, Los Angeles rallied for four quick runs, capped by Trumbos double into the right field stands and Kendricks two-run single. Trout hit his fifth homer of the season in the fourth. Morales delivered a bases-loaded double on reliever David Phelps first pitch in the sixth, driving home two runs and putting the Angels up 8-5. Hughes was born and raised in Orange County, attending high school 8 miles from Angel Stadium in Santa Ana. He had about 20 friends and family members in attendance for his first start in Anaheim since his sixth major league start in 2007. "On a night when the offence is doing so well and swinging the bats, its a tough one to swallow," Hughes said. NOTES: Yankees LF Brett Gardner took dry swings and RHP David Robertson played catch in both injured players latest rehab steps. Gardner is out with a strained right elbow, and Robertson has a strained oblique muscle. Gardner, who has been out for six weeks, will play in the minors before rejoining the Yankees. ...
