I hope to play him every year

Jonathan Bernier is expected to make his return to the Toronto net tonight as the Maple Leafs pull into Boston for a New Years Eve game against the Bruins. Cam Fowler Jersey . Bernier has been ill and has not played since shutting out the Dallas Stars on Dec. 23. The Leafs also activated Leo Komarov from injured reserve on Wednesday, which is a good sign he will return to action. He has been out since Nov. 29 with a concussion. The return of Bernier and Komarov comes as good news for the struggling Leafs. The team lost 3-2 on Monday in Tampa Bay and has dropped five of six and allowed 24 goals along the way. James Reimer gave up three goals on 41 shots against the Lightning, about the norm lately with the Leafs allowing 39.0 shots per game in the last seven. My job is to stop them, whether theres 10 shots a night or 100 shots a night, said Reimer, who has dropped four straight in Boston with a 3.65 GAA. Bernier has a 2-3-0 record and 3.83 GAA in six career starts against Boston, including a split this year. Hes been busy with an average of 38.4 shots faced in his last seven starts, going 5-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .941 save percentage. The Bruins (19-15-3) proved themselves capable of the kind of hockey it might take to engineer a climb in the standings in Tuesdays 5-2 win over Detroit, beginning a three-game stay in Boston with a third straight home win. We need to make a decision here how we want to play this year and whether we want to make the playoffs, coach Claude Julien told the teams official website. Thats what I wanted to see from our team. Its the kind of game that we need from here on in, night in, night out. Theyve won three of four overall and gone 3 for 9 on the power play after a 1-for-29 stretch over the previous 15 games. Seth Griffith scored on their only man advantage against the Red Wings, while linemates Chris Kelly, Loui Eriksson and Carl Soderberg totaled seven points. Soderberg had a goal and two assists, giving him seven points in the past six games. Eriksson has eight points in that span after getting two assists Tuesday. Kelly had a goal and an assist, compiling eight points in the last seven games after having only eight through his first 28. Boston was without leading scorer Patrice Bergeron and winger Milan Lucic, both out with undisclosed injuries lingering from Saturday nights 6-2 loss at Columbus. Both practiced Tuesday after day-to-day designations. Bergeron has 15 points in nine games against Toronto. Injuries or not, the Bruins know emulating what they showed against Detroit is the next step. Weve done this before in the season and we followed up with a bad game so we have to realize that, center David Krejci said. Tuukka Rask could also use a sustained stretch of success. The Boston goaltender made 28 saves against Detroit and has won three straight starts, but December has been a trying month with a 4-4-2 record and 3.00 goals-against average. His career against Toronto has been much better at 10-3-0 with a 1.85 GAA, though he allowed four goals in under 24 minutes in the last meeting. The Maple Leafs won that game 6-1 on Nov. 12 behind two goals from Phil Kessel, who has seven points in his last four games in the series. The teams have split six games dating to the beginning of last season and split two in Toronto this season. The Bruins have won six of the last seven meetings in Boston, and they seem to be catching the Maple Leafs (20-14-3) at a good time. Nicolas Deslauriers Jersey . According to a police report, Douglas is accused of grabbing his girlfriend by the neck and slamming her against the wall several times while he carried her from the elevator to their Hartford hotel room early Sunday morning. Scott Niedermayer Jersey . Ashton scored a hat trick -- giving him 13 goals in 16 AHL games this season -- to power the Toronto Marlies to a 5-2 victory over the visiting Lake Erie Monsters in AHL action on Sunday. https://www.cheapducks.com/637c-troy-lon...ducks.html .ca. Kerry, I hope you address Ron MacLeans comment during the second intermission of Game 4 in Montreal-Tampa series. Basically, he suggested that the NHL should not have used a referee from Quebec, following the Game 3 disputed non-goal, because the referee could be biased towards Montreal.Its the quiet period for news in the NFL, but one of the leagues biggest headline makers is doing his best to liven things up for fans waiting for training camps to open. Seattle Seahawks superstar Richard Sherman, widely considered to be the leagues top cornerback, is carrying his war of words with Michael Crabtree into the off-season. Appearing on Discovery Channels debut episode of American Muscle, Sherman picked up his riff with Crabtree right where it left off in last years NFC Championship game. “Its not going to be something that goes away,” Sherman said of his feud with Crabree, according to a report from USA Today. “I hope to play him every year for the rest of my career and choke him out. Theres not much else I can say about the subject. Nobody will understand it but him and me. Thats all that needs to understaand. Cheap Ducks Jerseys. ” Sherman stole some of the spotlight of Seattles NFC Championship win over the San Francisco 49ers with a post-game rant directed at Crabtree, a wide receiver for the 49ers. The two had been matchup up at points during the game and Sherman broke up a potential game-winning pass to Crabtree in the end zone with just seconds left on the clock. For his part, Crabtree isnt biting back, saying hes tired of the off-field issues making news. "Ive been doing this for a while," Crabtree told ESPN. "Ive been playing, Ive been to the top of the totem pole since high school. So its nothing new to me." “When I win, its no hoorah. Im not yelling. But like I said, Im getting [tired of] talking about these guys. I concentrate on football.” The Seahawks and 49ers first play November 27 next year. ' ' '
