TORONTO – A mini-war of words is brewing between the two head coaches, Randy Carlyle and Claude Julien, in regards to the face-off circle. Lyle Alzado Raiders Jersey . Not only did the Bruins emerge with a spirited Game 3 victory on Monday night – now leading the best-of-7 series 2-1 – but they also decisively won the battle on the draw, emerging with a 60 per cent success rate, including a 71 per cent mark in the defensive zone. Their tactics, however, and those of the officials, proved unsatisfying to Carlyle and the Leafs, the coach voicing his distaste with the situation after the defeat and again on Tuesday. "Specifically when youre at home, you think that you would be afforded some of the staples of the opposition having to be down first and stop," Carlyle said, referencing the multiple instances of his centres being thrown from the circle. "In our review, there was some things that were going on out there that we dont agree with..." "Ive heard a lot about the face-off issue," Julien responded forcefully minutes later. "Ive looked at the video, too and it is what it is; guys getting kicked out, not getting kicked out. When you lobby for something, its because youre looking for a bit of a break next game and thats what Randys doing right now, hes lobbying for some breaks on the face-offs. "Its going to be interesting to see whether the referees and the linesmen just do their job and not worry about whos crying wolf." In conversation with the officials in between periods, Carlyle was told his "guys were impeding on the circle". "He stated it was supposed to be visitor down, home down, puck down and that clearly was not happening as per video," Carlyle stated. Tyler Bozak, the Leafs best (53 per cent) and most prominently used centre, was tossed from the circle with growing frequency in Game 3, his frustration growing as the night wore on. "Both sides were cheating pretty hard in the circle and I was getting caught more than [the opponent]," he said on Tuesday. Bozak aired his dissatisfaction with the ongoing proceedings in conversation with the officials. "I just wanted to ask him what I needed to change to stay in there a little longer and try and make it as fair as possible," Bozak recalled. "It was quite a few times early in the game where I got kicked out." He and the Leafs dropped 24 of 34 draws in the Bruins zone and 45 of 75 total with Patrice Bergeron (12-20), Chris Kelly (12-15) and Rich Peverley (10-11) owning the circle and only David Krejci (6-18) proving beatable. Mikhail Grabovski was the lone Toronto pivot to find any kind of success, the 29-year-old emerging on 11 of 20 total draws, ahead of Bozak (12-29), Nazem Kadri (3-12) and Jay McClement (1-5). The Bruins were the number one face-off team in the NHL during the regular season, Bergeron (tops at 62 per cent) and Krejci (55 per cent) both amongst the elite. Boston has won 58 per cent of the draws so far this series. Jack Tatum Raiders Jersey . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season.

Their experience showed Tuesday as the No. 10 Badgers blunted a Saint Louis surge to win 63-57 and advance to face West Virginia in Wednesdays finals of the Cancun Challenge.MONTREAL -- In the unlikely event that the Montreal Alouettes play host to a playoff game, it will not be held at Olympic Stadium, the CFL club announced Tuesday. The game would be played at the teams 25,000-seat home field, Percival Molson Stadium. The club has used the domed, roughly 55,000-seat Olympic Stadium for home playoff games since 2002. The Alouettes (4-8) are third in the East Division, four points behind second-place Hamilton (6-6). They would need to overtake the Tiger-Cats, who they meet twice more this season, to play host to the East semifinal. Alouettes chief operating officer Mark Weightman said the team opted for its outdoor field because of concerns a snowfall could postpone the match in the Big O. Jerry Rice Raiders Jersey. Olympic Stadium cannot be used if it snows due to an unstable roof. "As the playoff scheduling in the CFL is very tight, postponing a game of this magnitude would severely impact the remainder of the post-season," Weightman said in a statement. He also said many fans have asked that playoff games be held at Percival Molson. The East semifinal is to be played Nov. 10 with the East final on Nov. 17. Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '
