. They proved it in overtime. Torey Krug scored 34 seconds into OT and the
Bruins beat Pittsburgh 4-3 on Monday night, snapping a seven-game,
regular-season losing streak to the Penguins in a matchup of the Eastern
Conferences top two teams. Pittsburgh captain Crosby had scored with 0.3 seconds
left in regulation to tie it. But the Bruins responded quickly. Playing with
three forwards and one defenceman, they want right at the Penguins. "We were
OK," Boston coach Claude Julien said of the late goal. "For some teams,
sometimes it can be demoralizing. But I think this may have made us more hungry
to go and try to win it." Krug won it with a slap shot from the left circle that
beat goalie Marc-Andre Fleury past his left arm. Loui Eriksson and Reilly Smith
scored first-period goals, and Zdeno Chara made it 3-2 with 5:15 left in
regulation for the conference-leading Bruins, who are 8-2-1 in their last 11
games. Tuukka Rask made 28 saves for Boston, which beat the Penguins for the
first time since December 2011. Boston also improved to 7-0-2 in its last nine
home games, with both losses coming in shootouts. "Its tough," Krug said of the
tying goal, "but weve got the guys and leadership where were not going to get
down." Pittsburgh salvaged a point after pulling Fleury for an extra skater.
Chris Kunitz fired a desperation backhander on net, and Crosby -- at the edge of
the crease -- deflected the puck across the goal line behind Rask just as the
green light went on. A video review clearly showed that the puck went in before
time ran out. "Just hanging around the crease, hoping the puck would end there,"
Crosby said. Rask said it didnt distract him or his teammates for very long.
"Youre always kind of mad about that, but we didnt let it bother us," he said.
"We went out in overtime and took the puck to their zone and then scored a goal
I think thats the sign of a good team that you dont get down on yourself after a
goal like that." James Neal scored the first two goals for Pittsburgh, and
Fleury made 20 saves. The Penguins, playing their third game in five days, lost
for the sixth time in 10 games. "I liked the way, against this tough team, we
stayed with the game plan and did come out with a tie after regulation,"
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. It was the first meeting in Boston since the
Bruins completed a sweep of the Penguins in last seasons conference finals.
Krug, skating in on the left wing, just wanted to get a hard shot on net. "A
couple of times earlier I missed the net when I had good scoring chances," he
said. "I just wanted to make sure hed have to make a save with his hands." Neal
lifted the Penguins into a 2-2 tie with a rising wrist shot from the left circle
that beat Rask under the crossbar with 8:51 left in the third. Despite being
outshot 10-1 in the opening nine minutes of the game, Boston held a 2-0 lead
after the first period. Both goals were set up by Carl Soderberg. Erikssons goal
was a highlight play by the winger. He took a pass from Soderberg that was a
little behind him near the Penguins blue line. He pushed the puck between his
legs to his forehand, broke in alone, and tucked a backhander between Fleurys
pads. Smiths power play goal made it 2-0 just 3:16 later. The Penguins hadnt
allowed a power-play goal in six games, but Smith, cutting to the net, one-timed
a pass out of the right corner from Soderberg nine seconds after Pascal Dupuis
was sent off for hooking. After Smiths score, the crowd broke into chants of
Fleury! Fleury! Pittsburgh cut it to 2-1 just 37 seconds into the second period
when Neal fired a wrist shot from the slot that beat Rask stick side. NOTES:

.C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in
playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again
made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week.The
original concussion lawsuit against the NHL included 10 former players, and that
number has already grown. More than 200 players have joined, according to
lawyers Steve Silverman and Mel Owens, who are at the forefront of the suit.
Owens, an NFL linebacker-turned-disability lawyer said in a phone interview
Wednesday that "hundreds" of ex-NHL players are going to become part of the
suit, which was filed in U.S. federal court in Washington on Monday. "These are
10 players, but theres hundreds of guys that, theyre in the lawsuit," said
Owens, who works for NBO Law in Beverly Hills, Calif. "They just havent been
named yet. Theyre going to be there." A list of the 200-plus players was not
made available when requested. More than 200 players have joined the effort,
which began with 10 players: Gary Leeman, Bradley Aitken, Darren Banks, Curt
Bennett, Richard Dunn, Warren Holmes, Robert Manno, Blair James Stewart, Morris
Titanic and Rick Vaive. Former New York Islanders centre Bob Bourne announced he
joined the suit shortly after it was filed. Leeman and Vaive in recent days have
politely declined comment about their involvement, deferring to Silverman and
Owens, who said he did not know how many players would wind up being a part of
it. "I dont know how many liiving alumni there are in the NHL that have these
significant problems," Owens said.

"I dont know that. But like in the NFL, it just matured over time. Once the
players find out that, Oh, there may be hope for me. I might be able to get some
help and some treatment to address my quality of life issues, Im sure theyll be
in contact." More than 4,500 former NFL players sued that league in a case that
Owens said has "parallels" to this one. That settlement was worth US$765
million. Owens said there wasnt any recruiting being done to get more players to
join the cause. He sent tweets to several former players informing them of the
case beginning Monday. "All of our business that weve ever done has all been by
word of mouth. The players are the ones that talk amongst themselves," he said.
"Once I have knowledge as a player, like you have knowledge and like everybody
else has knowledge, the word spreads. Back in the 60s and the 70s and the 80s
the person with all the knowledge and the power were the owners. They controlled
the message." In a statement released Monday evening, NHL deputy commissioner
Bill Daly called the subject matter "very serious" and said the league intended
to defend the case "vigorously."
