BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins, hit with the news they will likely be losing right wing Nathan Horton to free agency, are one of many teams interested in signing free-agent forward Vincent Lecavalier. The team met with the centre Saturday in New Jersey. Recently released by the Tampa bay Lightning via a compliance lockout, Lecavalier is clearly a hot commodity on the open market and moved onto the Bruins radar after Boston, the runner-up in the Stanley Cup final, was told by Hortons agent that he will test the market. "With what happened with Nathan, it became a little more ripe," general manager Peter Chiarelli told the media in Newark. "We had a good meeting." With forwards David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron already centring the top two lines, the Bruins would likely move Lecavalier to a wing. Chiarelli said Lecavalier is willing to make the move. While the Bruins are in the mix, Lecavalier is a Montreal native and also grew up as a fan of the Detroit Red Wings. The Canadiens talked about trading for him in 2009. "Montreal is a special place with a lot of history and it can offer a lot," Lecavalier said after the buyout was announced. "They have a good team, they proved it last year, so Im open to Montreal. But Im not closing the door on anyone. "The door is open for everyone and after that well see." The Philadelphia Flyers, with some cap space after two buyouts of their own last week, also have an interest in Lecavalier. Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren met with Lecavalier over the weekend, as well. Lecavalier, 33, is likely seeking a five-year deal, on top of the $30-plus million he will receive from the Lightning for the buyout. With 32 points in 39 games this season, he has 383 goals and 874 points in his 14-year career, and led the Lightning to the 2004 Stanley Cup. Chiarelli said he was "surprised" at Hortons position, and left the door open for a change of heart on Hortons part. He also said he has been receiving calls regarding forward Tyler Seguin, who is slated to make $5.75 million next year. Losing Horton could mean not trading Seguin, but the signing of Lecavalier could change that. Seguin struggled in the post-season, scoring just one goal, as Boston won the Eastern Conference for the second time in three years. On Sunday night, Chiarelli, talking about Seguin, said, "hes got to commit his mind and focus to the one task at hand. Hes got to become more of a professional. You know what? I can say that about a lot of 21-year-olds. I know he got criticized for playing on the periphery and all that stuff. He did. Hes got to commit to being a professional and focusing on the game. Simple as that. He does that, we dont expect him to be crashing and banging. "Just play your game." The Bruins, who have shown a commitment to lock up marquee players long term in the Chiarelli era, appear close on a six-year contract extension with Bergeron. Boston, which didnt have a first-round pick in the draft, selected Swedish defenceman Linus Arnesson with the 60th choice. Arnesson, 18 and listed at 6 foot, 2 inches, 190 pounds, played for Djurgarden in Stockholm and was projected as a third- or fourth-round pick by experts. As it turned out, he went one pick from the end of the second round. "Versatile defenceman, good skater," Chiarelli said, "not necessarily a banger but a solid, two-way defenceman." The Bruins surrendered their first-round pick to Dallas in the conditional deal for Jaromir Jagr that went from a second- to a first-rounder because Boston reached the Eastern Conference finals. In the third round, the Bruins tabbed left wing Peter Cehlarik, a Slovakian playing in Sweden. In Round 4, Boston tabbed local talent Ryan Fitzgerald, a centre who played with the Valley Junior Warriors in the Boston area last year and is headed for Boston College. He is the son of former Bruins and current Pittsburgh assistant GM Tom Fitzgerald and the nephew of Bruins director of amateur scouting Scott Fitzgerald. In the fifth round, the Bruins took 6-6 Harvard defenceman Wiley Sherman, from Greenwich, Conn. In Round 6, Boston tabbed winger Anton Blidh, from Sweden. Then, with the next-to-last pick in the draft, the Bruins took left wing Mitchell Dempsey from Cambridge, Ontario. Bernie Kosar Womens Jersey .

"It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said.

Jarvis Landry Youth Jersey .While Rosberg is coming off a strong victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Hamilton is dwelling on a mistake that ended his streak of five consecutive wins and kept him from increasing his advantage.(SportsNetwork.com) - It may not be as dramatic as Kirk Gibson limping off the bench to hit a home run, but shortstop Hanley Ramirez is certainly endearing himself to Los Angeles Dodgers fans this postseason. The Dodgers and Ramirez try to even their best-of-seven National League Championship Series Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium. Ramirez, who missed Game 2 after getting hit in the ribs in the opener, returned to the lineup on Monday despite a hairline fracture and singled in his first at-bat before driving in the final run in Los Angeles 3-0 win. "What can I say? It couldnt be better," said Ramirez, who is batting .455 with seven RBI in the playoffs. "Really happy we got the first win. Just come back (Tuesday) and even up the series." Pitching continued to dominate this series, as Dodgers righty Hyun-Jin Ryu scattered three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings to help L.A. get back in the series after losing the first two in St. Louis. Of course, only one team has rallied from an 0-2 deficit in the NLCS -- the Cardinals in 1985 against the Dodgers. Adrian Gonzalez and Yasiel Puig ended the Dodgers 22-inning scoreless drought with RBI extra-base hits in the fourth inning, and that was all Ryu and the back end of the Dodgers bullpen needed. "I think the playoffs are a one-day momentum swing. Every day changes with momentum. Right now I feel like weve kind of grabbed it," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. Adam Wainwright, who tossed a complete-game gem in the NLDS closeout game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, surrendered two runs in seven innings to take the loss, while the Cardinals continued to struggle to get things going offensively. As a team, St. Louis is only hitting .134 with seven walks through the first three games. "Were a better club than this," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "It wasnt very characteristic of how we played all season." The nine combined runs in the series thus far are the fewest ever tthrough three games of an LCS.dddddddddddd Now the Dodgers will turn to righty Ricky Nolasco, who was supposed to start Game 4 of the NLDS against Atlanta, but was pulled hours before the start for Clayton Kershaw. Mattingly kind of left the door open to that happening again, only this time he would go with Game 1 starter Zack Greinke on short rest. "As of right now," Mattingly said. "Ricky Nolasco will be pitching tomorrow." Nolasco was terrific after being traded to the Dodgers from Miami in early July and was 8-1 with a 2.07 ERA in his first 12 starts. However, he was winless over his final four starts and allowed 19 runs over 12 innings in his last three outings of the year. "Until somebody says otherwise, Im focused on going out there and pitching tomorrow," Nolasco said. Referring to his conditional starting status, he added, "Those things are out of my control. Im only concentrating on the things I can control." St. Louis, meanwhile, will rely on righty Lance Lynn, who picked up the win in relief in Game 1. Lynn pitched two scoreless innings in that one after yielding five runs in just 4 1/3 innings in his Game 2 loss to the Pirates in the NLDS. "You have two really good offensive teams that havent done much so far, and Ive never been one to be naive to the fact that somebodys probably due," Lynn said. "But when its all said and done, you have to concentrate on all you can take care of, and thats just one pitch at a time. Whoevers in the box, you just try to execute your game plan against them. "We have two great offenses here that havent done anything yet, so there could be a couple good games here offensively. But as a starting pitcher, you dont want to see it." Lynn has never lost to the Dodgers and is 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA in three starts. To make matters worse for the Cardinals they may be without third baseman David Freese, who left Game 3 with tightness in his calf. The Dodgers were 4-3 against the Cardinals this season. ' ' '
