BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins see the glass as half-full despite their 6-5 overtime loss to the Chicago in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final. But they have plenty to ponder en route to Chicago for Game 5 Saturday even if the team mantra was clearly to look forward not back. The best-of-seven series has become a best-of-three. The Bruins, who bottled up the Chicago attack in winning Games 2 and 3, had hoped to arrive in the Windy City holding a commanding 3-1 lead. "You move on. Its one loss. Weve got two wins, weve got two losses," Boston coach Claude Julien said Thursday after an optional skate following a video session at TD Garden. "Its about preparing for the next game, and our mood is fine. "Who wouldnt be happy to be in the Stanley Cup finals? Youve got to remember where we are and whats at stake here, and certainly not hang your head over a loss." Julien saw lots of positives: his team scored five goals, came back twice from two-goal deficits and the power play was working. But he admitted that the Bruins have to put in a better start and make better decisions throughout. Boston also allowed the speedy, skilful Hawks too much space and too many options, he added. "Theyre a good team," he said of Chicago. "Ive said that all along, and theyre going to get their chances. Weve just got to minimize them." Instead the Bruins and Hawks went on a wild roller-coaster ride, with Hawks defenceman Brent Seabrook deciding the game on a slapshot through traffic in overtime. Chicagos reunited line of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell buzzed all night. It combined for two goals and three assists and all three made a nuisance of themselves. Toews refused to be budged from in front of the net all game and Bickell helped free his captain on Chicagos second goal, slyly kicking out one of Zdeno Charas skates to topple the giant Bruins defenceman. By the time Chara had got back on his feet, Toews had tipped in Michal Rozsivals point shot for the goal. To his credit, Chara did not complain although he gave the referee a quizzical look. Asked about Charas play on the night, Julien didnt mince words. "I think he was OK. Theres no doubt they went after him and he was OK because our whole team was OK. I dont think anybody on our team can stand up today and say I thought I had a great game, and thats why were sitting here today tied 2-all." Chicago clearly felt that it had brought the six-foot-nine Chara down to size somewhat. "Chara, hes one of their key players," Toews said after the game. "Hes a great player. We know his No. 1 advantage is his size, reach and strength. "I think at the same time you cant give him too much respect and want to compensate the way you play as a line considering the fact hes out there against you guys. I mean, theres certain ways you can expose him. I think the dumpings that we made tonight were going to his side. We made sure we were outnumbering him everywhere we went, taking away his stick first thing. "We just try not to be intimidated by his size. You have to get to the net, find a way inside, not be, like I said, intimidated by that. We can outwork him, and we did that tonight, and we want to continue that." Apprised of those comments, Bruins forward Brad Marchand called his captain one of the best defencemen in the league and then refused to take the bait "Theyre welcome to say whatever they want," he said of the Hawks. "Were just worried about how we have to play, in the (dressing) room. "Z (Chara) steps up and plays his best. We can expect that." Julien was his normally affable self Thursday, although he took the time to remind his listeners that Bruins hockey was more than "being rough and tumble and not much else." Whatever it is, Boston didnt showcase its brand in Game 4. The Hawks even enjoyed success in the faceoff circle, normally the Bruins domain, narrowing the deficit in faceoff wins to 39-38 from the lopsided 40-16 of Game 3. Boston was sluggish once again at the start. The Blackhawks were outshooting them 7-1 at one point. Chicago got bodies in front of Tuukka Rask. At the other end of the ice, the Hawks blocked more shots than the Bruins for the first time in the series. "I think both sides were pretty poor on the D (defence) side of the puck," said Boston forward Chris Kelly. "Its a game of mistakes," he added. "And I think both sides made their fair share of mistakes." Added defenceman Adam McQuaid: "We werent at our best, theres no question about that." The Bruins were looking to leave the negatives behind them as they headed west. "Theres nothing you can do about it. Look to the next one," said Kelly. "It would have bee a nice game to win, for sure," added Marchand. "But at this point of the season, whether you win or lose, youve got to let the game go and focus on the next one. It comes too quick and the next one means too much." Said Julien: "I dont think anything positive will come out of just worrying about what happened last night." "Nothing you can do about it today, but you can do something about if for the next game," he added. Air Max 90 Australia Cheap .

MONACO -- Athletics leaders have overwhelmingly approved broad changes championed by the sports president, Sebastian Coe, to turn a corner on reputation-wrecking corruption and doping scandals.Coes Time for Change package of reforms to the sports governance won a 95 percent majority from 192 countries on Saturday that cast valid votes at a special congress of the IAAF.Warning that we cannot let this happen again, Coe said too much power had been concentrated in too few hands under his predecessor Lamine Diack, who is now facing corruption and money-laundering charges in France.Our sport, our family, is under threat, he said.Delegates stood up one after the other to voice support for Coes calls for bold change before casting ballots.We need to act now to save our sport, said womens marathon record-holder, Paula Radcliffe, speaking for Britain.Most notably, Coe gets his wish for a new unit, largely independent of the IAAF, to handle doping cases involving international-level athletes, taking that job away from IAAF member countries. The IAAF argues the change will quicken the punishment of cheats, make punishments more uniform, and remove opportunities for favoritism and corruption. The IAAF wants the so-called integrity unit launched by April.Women will be equally represented on the IAAF ruling council by 2023, and council members -- including the president -- will be limited to no more than three four-year terms. There will be broader vetting of IAAF officials, and athletes will double their council representation from one seat to two.The massive support from delegates for the changes represented a significant victory for Coe, whose presidency was almost immediately plunged into crisis after he took over from Diack in August 2015.Coe recalled how French police officers raided IAAF offices, seizing files, when he was just settling in.dddddddddddd He noted that recent additional grotesque revelations of wrongdoing under Diack spoke of extraordinary sums of money allegedly changing hands.You should all feel violated, Coe said. This is money that could have been used for the development of athletics.The reforms will ensure that never again can one person wield unchecked power, and were required for the multi-million dollar business that athletics has become, the former Olympic middle-distance running champion said.Were putting in place a framework that should have been there years ago, he said.The vote of 182 countries for, with just 10 against, wasnt the only boost for the IAAFs efforts to turn a new page.Japanese sportswear manufacturer Asics was set to be unveiled as a new sponsor on Saturday, after Adidas cut short its commercial agreement with the IAAF that had been due to run until 2019. An IAAF official who spoke on condition of anonymity because Coe hadnt yet announced the deal, said Asics is signing up for at least three years, through the 2017 and 2019 world championships.While some delegates expressed reservations about the reform package and the open vote that made it possible to see which countries opposed the measures, many others took the floor to voice support and warn that the sport risked being left behind if it failed to send a strong message of embracing reform.We have to save athletics, said Ethiopian running great Haile Gebrselassie, president of his countrys athletics federation.It does need cleaning, said former Olympic and world javelin champion Andreas Thorkildsen. Thats just a fact. ' ' '
