MONTREAL -- The Boston Bruins horrible to start to their Stanley Cup defence stings a little more after back-to-back losses to the rival Montreal Canadiens. wholesale jerseys . Montreals 4-2 win Saturday night left the Bruins languishing in 15th place in the East and 29th in the league overall. Only the Columbus Blue Jackets sit below them. "Obviously thats not the place we want to be. Thats not the way we planned it to be but thats the situation right now. Weve just got to battle our way out of that," said Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask, who has yet to get a victory in three starts so far. Added Bruins captain Zdeno Chara: "I believe in this team. I know were in a deep hole but if anybody can get out of it, its this team." Last year, the Bruins blazed out of the gates with a 6-2-0 record in October. They scored at least three goals in all but one of those wins and finished the season averaging 2.98 goals per game -- fifth-best in the NHL. This year, the offence has struggled; they sit 25th in the league averaging 2.10 goals per game. "It seems like we usually have a pretty good start and get opportunities early and then were not capitalizing and get frustrated, and our game changes," said winger Brad Marchand. "We have to find a way, even if we dont bury it to continue working hard and creating those opportunities." The frustration is building and it was clear against the Canadiens. The Bruins took several retaliatory penalties over the course of the night. While some on the Boston side felt they drew the short end of the stick with the referees, they werent pinning the final result on the officiating. "We lost the game and we cant be blaming anybody else but us," Chara said. "We are right there; its so close." Next on the Bruins schedule is a date with the streaking Ottawa Senators. Theyre a team on the rebuild but right now, they are also one of the hottest teams in the league with five consecutive wins. "When we all get on the same page and start trusting each other, thats when things will get better," said Boston head coach Claude Julien. "Right now, theres some hesitation in our play." Already the chatter -- be it about the coachs job or trade speculation -- has begun. The Bruins, though, arent paying any attention to that. "We know that it comes from not winning. If we start winning, there wont be that talk," Marchand said. If the pain of losing wasnt enough, it might seem to sting the Bruins even more losing a home-and-home to their biggest rival. But after dropping three straight and four of their last five, it doesnt matter who is handing them the loss. "Every loss is the same. Its a bad feeling and everyone hates losing," Marchand said. "It doesnt matter who its to. We all want to win." cheap nfl jerseys . Cody Ceci grew up in Orleans in the east end of Ottawa about 30 minutes from Canadian Tire Centre. wholesale nfl jerseys .R.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Paul Konerko homered for the third straight day as Chicago beat Arizona, 8-2, in the rubber match of a three-game interleague series. Philip Humber (7-3) lasted 7 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk to earn his fourth straight win. If you look at his stuff, its not luck, Konerko said of Humber. Hes got a good arm, hes got all the pitches and hes got the location. I think hes on his way. Alex Rios also went deep for the White Sox, who won two in a row after dropping their previous three. Josh Collmenter (4-3) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in defeat. Justin Upton was 3-for-4 and knocked in a run, but Arizona lost for the fourth time in six games. Collmenter retired the first nine batters he faced before Juan Pierre led off the fourth with a single. Omar Vizquel followed with a single into center field that moved Pierre to third and Alexei Ramirez then hit an RBI groundout to give Chicago a one-run advantage. The White Sox added to their lead in the seventh inning when Konerko hammered an 0-1 fastball into the left-field bleachers and two batters later, Rios pulled an 0-2 fastball into almost the same spot. I felt good, Collmenter said. Everything felt good, I had good command and I was back to my normal stuff, and other than the seventh inning, everything went well. cheap jerseys from china. . Chicago put the game out of reach in the eighth. Ramirez added his second run- scoring groundout of the night to go along with a Brent Lillibridge RBI single and a three-run double by A.J. Pierzynski to make it an 8-0 game. Arizona put a couple runs on the board in the eighth when Ryan Roberts doubled in Gerardo Parra and later crossed the plate on an Upton base-hit, but it was too little, too late. The D-Backs later loaded the bases with two outs in the inning, but pinch- hitter Kelly Johnson hit a weak grounder to second base for the easy force out to end the inning. Trailing 1-0 in the fifth, Arizona had a chance to take control of the game but would fail to push a run across the plate. With men on first and second and two down, Humber threw a wild pitch to move both runners into scoring position. But he was able to get himself out of the jam by fanning Roberts on a 3-2 slider to end the inning. GAME NOTES:Arizona fell to 4-2 in interleague play this season...Chicago also has a 4-2 mark in interleague matches...Chicago went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position but stranded just four men on base...The D-Backs hit 1-for-7 with RISP and left seven on the bases.
