Boston, MA (Sports Network) - A year later, the Boston Bruins find themselves in the same position against the Philadelphia Flyers. Zdeno Chara had two goals and an assist, David Krejci added a goal and two assists and Nathan Horton had a goal and an assist to give Boston a 5-1 win and a 3-0 lead in this Eastern Conference semifinal series. The Bruins were in nearly the same situation in last years conference semifinal series after winning the first two games at home and taking Game 3 in Philadelphia. However, the Bruins went on to lose the next three games and blew a 3-0 lead in Game 7 to become just the third team in NHL history to drop a seven-game series after going up three games to none. The Bruins will look to exorcise last years demons Friday in Game 4 in Boston, and can do so with another strong performance from goaltender Tim Thomas, who stopped 37 shots Wednesday. I think we all feel pretty good about our game right now and confident, said Boston forward Daniel Paille, who had a goal in the game. So the main thing for us is not to get too high and stay focused. Andrej Meszaros scored the lone goal for the Flyers, who pulled their starting goaltender for the fifth time in 10 playoff games. Brian Boucher started between the pipes and was blitzed for two goals in the first 63 seconds. He wound up allowing four goals on 20 shots before being pulled just over 15 minutes into the second. Sergei Bobrovsky finished the game in net and stopped 7-of-8 shots. The Bruins came out with the blitz and scored twice in 63 seconds to take a lead they never relinquished. The first goal came at the 30 second mark as quick work in the Philly end resulted in a backhand pass behind the left side of the net to the front where Chara blasted it home for his first goal of the playoffs. Moments later, a behind the back pass from Milan Lucic in the low right boards to the front saw Krejci one-time the puck home for a 2-0 lead. Yeah, its not the start that we envisioned and you know you want to get off to a good start and it didnt happen today, said Boucher. Thomas stopped 12 shots in the first period. That was about as good a start as you could ask for, especially on home ice, said Thomas. It doesnt always work out that way. Definitely helped. It certainly helped from my perspective in goal. Thats for sure. Boston made it a 3-0 contest at the 13:39 mark of the second as a transition play saw Greg Campbell send a pass from the right to the left and Paille snap a shot into the right corner of the net. Just under two minutes later, Horton skated through the middle and over to the inside right circle before slipping a shot between the pads of Boucher, who was pulled from the net and replaced by Bobrovsky. Philly got on the board with 3:34 to play in the second on Meszaros second goal of the playoffs, a wrister from down low at the left side. Thomas, though, stopped 12 shots in the final period as Philly was unable to cut any further into its deficit. To add insult to injury, Boston scored on a 5-on-3 power play with 1:22 to play when Charas one-time blast from the top of the left circle sailed into the net. It was the first time in the playoffs that Boston had scored on the man advantage. The team came into Game 3 0-for-28 on the power play in its previous nine contests this postseason. GAME NOTES:Chara was plus-four in the contest...It was the quickest two goals to start a game in Boston playoff history. Also, it was the fastest two goals allowed by the Flyers to start a playoff game...Boston hasnt reached the conference finals since 1992...Philadelphia defenseman Chris Pronger sat out for a second straight game while forward Jeff Carter returned after missing the final three games of the first round the first two games of this series with a knee injury.

The Williams move did not come as a surprise. The six-year player was scheduled to be examined by a specialist this week. Williams has missed the past three games and been bothered by the injury since training camp. The equipment staff at one point this season cut holes into the back of Williams left cleat to alleviate the pressure on his foot. The exact nature of the injury hasnt been disclosed, and its unclear whether Williams will require surgery. Coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance last season, Williams has been the defences most consistent player. He was rewarded for that in August, when he signed a six-year contract extension potentially worth US$39 million. Rayner arrives to take over for Lindell, whos out indefinitely after hurting his right shoulder in a 27-11 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday. Theres no timetable on how long Lindell will be out. The possibility of the player being placed on injured reserve has not been discussed. On Monday, coach Chan Gailey would only rule out Lindell from playing Sundday, when the Bills (5-3) travel to Dallas (4-4).dddddddddddd Rayner has played for seven teams over parts of six NFL seasons, including a one-game stint last month with Oakland while filling in for an injured Sebastian Janikowski in a 28-0 loss to Kansas City. He hit 13 of 16 field-goal attempts -- including a 55-yarder -- and had 55 points in eight games with Detroit last season. Rayners most productive season came in 2006 with Green Bay, where he hit 26 of 35 attempts and had 109 points in 16 games. Rayner first broke in with Indianapolis as a kickoff specialist in 2005. Hes also played with Kansas City, San Diego and Cincinnati. Overall, hes made 55 of 75 field-goal attempts, including hitting three of seven attempts of 50 yards or longer. Lindell was hurt while making a diving tackle by tripping up Joe McKnight on a 59-yard kickoff return to open the second half. Lindell was slow to get up and held his right arm in pain as he walked to the sideline. He hit a 24-yard field goal in the third quarter, but was held out in the fourth quarter. Hes not missed a game in his nine seasons in Buffalo, and ranks second on the team with 204 career field goals and 875 points. In another move, Bills waived offensive lineman Ed Wang from injured reserve. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
