  导出博客文章OTTAWA -- There was no denying Jason Spezzas relief Friday night. Hugo Lloris Jersey . The Ottawa Senators captain was instrumental to his team scoring four unanswered goals to beat the Boston Bruins 4-2. With the victory, the Senators put an end to the Bruins 11-game winning streak in Ottawa. Its been so long since the Senators beat the Bruins at home that only Spezza, Chris Neil and Chris Phillips remain on the roster from their last victory. The win was that much more rewarding considering the Senators were coming off a 5-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday night. "We feel like thats a gritty win for us getting down a couple goals against a team we hold to a high standard," said Spezza. "Its a big emotional win for us for sure." Jared Cowen, who has had his share of struggles this season, scored the winning goal. "Its a good step for him, not just from scoring, but I thought he had a real solid game against a real difficult team and difficult opponents," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. "I thought both he and Eric Gryba were very competitive and very physical in the match-ups that they had against difficult opponents." Spezza, Bobby Ryan and Neil also scored for the Senators (8-7-4). Craig Anderson was solid stopping 30 shots. Loui Eriksson and Brad Marchand scored for the Bruins (12-6-1), as Rask faced 31 shots. After a rough start, things turned around for the Senators with a solid third period effort that was spearheaded by its captain. Spezza tied the game 2-2 early in the third, scoring from the side of the net off a pass from Karlsson at the point. It was Spezzas first goal in five games. "Its been a few games for me and it was an important game," said Spezza. "We were using this game as a bit of a measuring stick and it was a big goal." Rask said he felt the Bruins started off strong but had a few lapses throughout. "Its one of those days when youre not on top of your game you dont even know hes there and I didnt know (Spezza) was there," Rask said. "I stretched myself there, but I couldnt get my pad on it and its a goal." The goal seemed to energize the Senators and the 19,538 on hand. Anderson then made a great save on Carl Soderberg. Soderberg had a second chance and kept shoving at the puck until it crossed the line, but upon review it was clear the whistle had blown. "It was a good rebound game for everybody," said Anderson. "Weve got something we can build off of now." The Senators took their first lead of the game at 5:42 on Cowens third of the season as he beat Rask through the legs. Ryans goal at the halfway mark of the period sealed the victory as he picked Reilly Smiths pocket and then beat Rask through the legs to give Ottawa a 4-2 lead. The only downside of the period was seeing Ryan leave the game with just over three minutes remaining after taking an elbow to the head by Dennis Seidenberg. There was no penalty on the play. MacLean said he was given no explanation by the officials and, in his opinion, believes the play is worthy of being reviewed. "All the ones that you see around the league in the first 20 games, it certainly seems that one could be reviewed as well," the Senators coach said. Ryan will be re-evaluated Saturday as MacLean had no further updates on the wingers status following the game. Seidenberg felt for Ryan and said there was no intent to injure him. "The puck is loose, Im going for the puck and Im turning into the puck and I think hes reaching," said Seidenberg. "I would never go after a guys head and I hope hes fine so thats all I can say." The second period left much to be desired, as neither team seemed overly interested in taking control of the game. Ottawa had a terrible start to the period, giving up two goals and being outshot 13-6. Eriksson opened the scoring at the six-minute mark as he tipped Matt Bartkowskis shot. Just over three minutes later the Bruins made it 2-0 as Marchand made his way between Zack Smith and Colin Greening and beat Anderson with a great wrist shot. The Senators salvaged the period in the final minute as Neil scored his third of the season and beat Rask to the top left corner to make it 2-1. "Any time you score late in the period, its a big momentum swing for you if you can take advantage of it," said MacLean. "I felt we were getting stronger and better as the game went along." The Senators wrap-up their five-game homestand Sunday afternoon against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Notes: Defencemen Patrick Wiercioch and Joe Corvo were healthy scratches for the Senators. Right-winger Erik Condra missed his sixth straight game with a leg injury a The Bruins were without defenceman Adam McQuaid who has a lower body injury and right-winger Jordan Caron was a healthy scratch. Juan Foyth Jersey .75 million contract for the 2014 season and avoided arbitration. The team announced the agreement on Tuesday. Son Heung-min Jersey . The 49ers announced the deal Thursday. San Francisco selected Kilgore in the fifth round of the 2011 draft out of Appalachian State. He has played in 33 regular-season games, plus all six playoff games the last two seasons.VANCOUVER - Roberto Luongo says if things had played out differently at last seasons Heritage Classic he might still be a member of the Vancouver Canucks.Former head coach John Tortorella started backup Eddie Lack over the veteran goaltender in the Canucks outdoor showcase game at B.C. Place Stadium against the Ottawa Senators on March 2, a game that Vancouver subsequently lost 4-2.Luongo was traded to the Florida Panthers two days later in a move that was widely speculated to have been precipitated by the snub, and the 35-year-old all but confirmed that to be the case on Tuesday at Rogers Arena ahead of Thursdays homecoming against the Canucks.Theres no hiding it. I did want to play that game, Luongo told reporters. I mean that goes without saying, and if I would have played I probably would maybe still be here. Who knows?Chants of Loo rang out around B.C. Place back in March to protest the decision to start Lack, but Luongo said he didnt feel disrespected by the organization or Tortorella — who was fired following one disastrous season that saw Vancouver miss the playoffs for the first time in six years.I feel like whatever the hand youre dealt you have to deal with it the best that you can, said Luongo. Maybe earlier in my career I would have used those terms, but I dont think its appropriate.I dont think Im owed anything.Thursdays game will be Luongos first in Vancouver since the trade and he touched on a number of memorable moments at his press conference, including winning gold for Canada at the 2010 Olympics and the run to Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup.I enjoyed my time here. It was great, said Luongo. Im just disappointed I wasnt able to bring a Cup here. I think this market wants one more than anything, and if anything thats the main thing that Im disappointed about.He later added: The positives definitely outweigh the few negative things that happened.Most of those negatives occurred after the Cup final and included a goalie circus with Cory Schneider, demanding a trade, stating that his US$64-million, 12-year contract sucks and seeing Schneider dealt away. Then there was his perhaps ill-advised and short-lived captaincy that lasted from 2008 until 2010.Luongo went 19-16-6 with a 2.38 goals-against average and .917 save percentage in his final season with Vancouver and won at least 30 games in six of his eight campaigns here, including two of more than 40 wins. Although he came across as aloof in the media and fans often criticized his play on the ice and demeanour off it, teammates loved his passion and drive.I think he was maybe misunderstood a little bit for a lot of people. He just wanted to win, said Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows. Thats the most important thing. Forr him to prepare and wanting to win, sometimes he might have done things that media didnt like or fans didnt like. Dele Alli Jersey. But at the end of the day he wanted to be a real pro and win every game that he played. As a teammate he was great.Luongo — who doesnt blame former Canucks president and general manager Mike Gillis for how things unfolded — said he could have dealt with the spotlight better early in his Vancouver tenure after he was originally acquired from Florida back in 2006.I think sometimes you have to go through some adversity to realize and understand and do the right things, he said. Just my whole perspective on a lot of stuff has changed over the last couple of years, the way I handle things. (I) just try and have as much fun as I can out there realizing that Im 35 now.I just want to have fun playing the game and play hard and do the best I can.For all the heat directed his way, Luongo left Vancouver as a popular player in the city and the feeling is that sentiment remains.Theres a few things, the way I handled certain situations, that I wasnt happy with, said Luongo. Im happy that people were able to see who I really am and the way I am away from the cameras and around the guys and all that kind of stuff. It did feel good for people to see what kind of person I am.He added that there was a period before last seasons stunning trade that brought forward Shawn Matthias and minor-league goalie Jacob Markstrom to Vancouver where he was resigned to the fact that he wouldnt be moved because of his contract.I was just trying to focus on playing here and see what came up as far as teams and trades, said Luongo. At the end of the day everything happens for a reason and I guess thats just the way it had to work out.Luongo has the young Panthers in a hunt for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference and sports a 15-7-7 record to go along with a .924 save percentage, a 2.28 goals-against average and two shutouts so far this season.Im just trying to be in the moment. Were doing pretty well as a team, said Luongo, who dropped a 4-3 shootout decision to Vancouver in Sunrise, Fla., a few weeks after the trade. It was a little bit unknown with all the new faces coming into the season. We had a lot of young guys, new coach.Were really close to being a really good team. Thats what my focus is on.Luongo said he isnt sure what kind of reception to expect from fans on Thursday night in his old stomping grounds, but joked that both will be familiar.Loos and boos, they all sound the same so I wont be able to tell the difference, he said with a smile. Hopefully a good (reaction) but thats not up to me. Either way I just want to enjoy the game.___Follow @JClipperton_CP on Twitter Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Falcons Jerseys Cheap Ravens Jerseys Cheap Bills Jerseys Cheap Panthers Jerseys Cheap Bears Jerseys Cheap Bengals Jerseys Cheap Browns Jerseys Cheap Cowboys Jerseys Cheap Broncos Jerseys Cheap Lions Jerseys Cheap Packers Jerseys Cheap Texans Jerseys Cheap Colts Jerseys Cheap Jaguars Jerseys Cheap Chiefs Jerseys ' ' '
