TORONTO -- Game 5 has suddenly become Game 7 for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Botas Ugg Baratas Para Niños . After taking
an overtime punch to the gut on Wednesday night, the Leafs headed to Boston on
Thursday trailing the Boston Bruins three games to one in their first-round
series. Game 5 goes Friday. "This series isnt over, for sure," winger Joffrey
Lupul said defiantly after the 4-3 loss at the Air Canada Centre. Toronto will
have to mount its comeback without tough defenceman Mark Fraser, who underwent
surgery to repair a fracture between the eyes and the cranial area after taking
a Milan Lucic shot to the face. Toronto coach Randy Carlyle says the burly
blue-liner was resting at home and had been texting and talking to his teammates
Thursday morning. "Hes a well-respected guy in our locker-room," said captain
Dion Phaneuf. "Hes done a great job all year for us physically, playing big
minutes. "Hes just a great teammate. It was a scary situation but were glad hes
doing OK." John-Michael Liles, a healthy scratch in recent games, is expected to
take Frasers place in the lineup in the do-or-die game at Bostons TD Garden.
"Its all about winning that game. Its like a Game 7," said forward Clarke
MacArthur. "We win that one, it can turn things around." Its a tough ask. The
playoff-savvy Bruins are 15-2 when leading a best-of-seven series 3-1. Toronto
is 2-12-1 in its last 15 games in Boston. As is their wont, the Leafs looked for
positives in the wake of Wednesdays loss. "Everything becomes more difficult.
But its not the end of the world," said Carlyle. "Weve done a lot of good
things." "Its a new day," said forward Mikhail Grabovski, who has played well
while putting his slight body on the line. They took an early lead against the
Bruins, registered an eye-popping 71 hits and bombarded Tuukka Rask with 48
shots. And Matt Frattin hit the goalpost in overtime. "It quite easily could be
a 2-2 series right now," said MacArthur. "Its unfortunate that it isnt."
"(Wednesday) night we had our chances to win the game," said forward Jay
McClement. The coach admitted the loss hurt. "But the bottom line is you cant
change what happened last night," Carlyle told reporters at the teams training
facility before flying out to Boston. "Now its time to regroup and thats what
were here to do. Gather this group together -- reset, refocus, re-energize. Do
all those things we normally do. "Weve got to go in and win a game in Boston."
That involves raising their game, while ignoring the effects of a physical
series that has seen Toronto outhit Boston 200 to 165. "Our team has got to find
a way to play to a higher level," said Carlyle. "With the level of game that was
played (Wednesday) night, both teams are going to be tired. Both teams are going
to be bruised up." On the minus side Wednesday, the Leafs gave up a 2-0 lead and
Phaneuf was punished in overtime for pinching in and trying to get Nathan Horton
and/or the puck. The Bruin, who was flattened on the play, got the puck past the
Leaf defenceman and David Krejci went on to beat James Reimer on a two-on-one.
MacArthur called it a tough break. "We didnt lose the game on that play," he
said, ignoring the fact that they actually did. "We had a 2-0 lead in that game.
Theres other things that could have prevented it from getting to that
situation." As he did after the game, Phaneuf emerged Thursday to face the
music. Once again, he took responsibility for "a split-second decision."
"Playoffs are about momentum and obviously that was a momentum swing," he said.
"But weve got a big game there on Friday, weve got to move past this and move
past (Wednesday) nights loss." "Theres no time to sit here and feel sorry about
what happened," he added. "Its done now and weve got to focus on Friday."
Carlyle chose not to dwell on the mistake. "In reality, if you look at the way
Dions played for our hockey club, hes represented our team as a captain, hes
played 30-plus minutes, he leads our team in a lot of different categories --
and emotionally and physically on the ice. "Without him, we wouldnt be here."
Only a handful of Leafs hit the ice Thursday at the teams training centre:
backup goalie Ben Scrivens and recent scratches Joe Colborne, Frazer McLaren,
Ryan Hamilton and defenceman Jesse Blacker, who has been brought up from the AHL

revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters
which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed
necessary.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Xavier Paul and Jack Hannahan were looking for
opportunities to redeem themselves after making mistakes that helped cost the
Reds a game on Saturday. They didnt have to wait long. Paul came off the bench
to hit a game-tying home run in the eighth inning and Hannahan scored the
winning run on Joey Vottos sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 13th to give
Cincinnati a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Paul committed one
error and made a terrible baserunning blunder on Saturday. Hannahan was charged
with a career-high three errors and grounded into a double play in that loss.
"Live to fight another day," Hannahan said. "One of the best things about
baseball is you can put a bad day behind you and show up the next day ready to
win." Hannahan drew a one-out walk from Tim Stauffer (1-1) and Shin-Soo Choo
snapped a 0-for-16 slump with a one-out double to right field. Ryan Hanigan,
pinch-hitting against a drawn-in, five-man infield and shallow two-man outfield,
was hit by a pitch to load the bases. The Padres went back to three outfielders
with everybody drawn in, and Votto hit a fly to left field to drive in Hannahan
from third base. Paul tied the score with a two-run, pinch-hit homer off Ian
Kennedy in the eighth and the Reds overcame two more errors for their fourth win
in five games. They finished their eight-game homestand with five wins after
starting 1-2 against St. Louis. "After last night and making a few mistakes that
some people say cost us the game, to be able to come back today late in the game
and help put the team in position to win makes me feel good," Paul said. The
Padres, whove lost four of their last five games, were 1 for 17 with runners in
scoring position and left 15 men on base. "Were just having a bad stretch,"
second baseman Logan Forsythe said. "Were still playing good, fundamental
baseball. Theres just a couple of things we need to get better at, and one of
them is good situational hitting." Sam LeCure (2-1), Cincinnatis seventh
pitcher, pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win. Kennedy was positioned to improve
his career record against the Reds to 4-0 in four starts. Kennedy, in his second
start for San Diego after being acquired from Arizona in a July 31 ttrade,
allowed one hit -- pitcher Mike Leakes leadoff single in the third -- in 7 1-3
scoreless innings and retired 16 consecutive batters before pinch-hitter Zack
Cozart reached with an infield single.

Outlet. "Kennedy was dealing," manager Dusty Baker said. "I dont
know if it was more him or us. We had to persevere. They threatened a bunch of
times. It looked bleak for a while. Every time you turned around we were in
trouble. It really taxed our bullpen heading to Chicago. We had to bear down to
our last man today." Paul tied the game with his seventh homer of the season, a
422-foot shot into the right-field seats on a 1-2 pitch. Paul has three
pinch-hit homers this season and five in his career. Leake allowed one earned
run in seven innings, giving up six hits and two runs with three walks and four
strikeouts. He also committed an error, the Reds sixth in the last two games.
Manny Parra and J.J. Hoover pitched a scoreless eighth before Aroldis Chapman
struck out the side in the ninth. "We didnt get it done," San Diego manager Bud
Black said. "Its a topic we talk about all the time. We got some good pitches to
hit, but we didnt advance runners." The Reds, who were charged with four errors
in their 3-1 loss to San Diego on Saturday, committed another to help the Padres
take a 2-0 lead on Rene Riveras bases-loaded sacrifice fly to centre field with
one out in the second. As Yonder Alonso scored from third, backup shortstop
Cesar Izturis cut off Choos throw, but Izturis quick throw to second trying to
get Forsythe going back sailed past Brandon Phillips into foul territory down
the right-field line, allowing Forsythe to score. Notes: Cedenos second-inning
single was his first hit in six at-bats since being called up by San Diego on
Wednesday. Cedeno now has hits with each of the six major league teams for which
hes played since breaking in in 2005. ... Votto went 0 for 4, ending his
eight-game hitting streak. ... RHP Mat Latos (11-3) is scheduled to start Monday
for the Reds at Chicago in the first game of a three-game series and seven-game
road trip. ... San Diegos brief five-game road trip is scheduled to continue
Monday at Colorado with RHP Edison Volquez (8-9) scheduled to start for the
Padres.
