KITCHENER, Ont. Blaine Gabbert Jersey . -- Brad Gushue of St. Johns, N.L., needs just one more win to get closer to another Olympic experience. The 2006 Olympic gold medallist came out hitting against Saskatoons Steve Laycock for a 5-3 win on Sunday in the Page Playoff C-C game at the Road to the Roar Olympic pre-trials. With the win, Gushue earned another faceoff with Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in the last chance to qualify for the Roar of the Rings Olympic curling trials in December. That event that will decide Canadas teams for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. "It felt great out there," said Gushue. "I thought we played well. We really minimized our mistakes, which is something really burned us early on this week. We didnt make any big ones, and the few mistakes that we did, we came back with great shots after." The No. 2-ranked Gushue rattled off two wins early in the pre-trial tournament, then lost the A-Event final to John Morris of Vernon/Kelowna, B.C. Battling back through the B-Event, Gushue lost the semifinal to Jacobs and had to win two more games before defeating Greg Balsdon of Elgin, Ont., in the C-Event finals and earn a spot in the Page C-C game. Gushue and his team of Brett Gallant, Adam Casey, Geoff Walker and coach Peter Gallant shot 90 per cent as a team, and executed the big shots when needed. In the eighth, with a Laycock counter tucked behind a corner guard, Gushue made the runback double with his first, and then threw a precise pick forcing Laycock to hit for one and head into the final two ends trailing by two. Trailing by one in the final end, Laycock split the house to set up a possible score of two, forcing Gushue to draw for one and put the win away. "Were playing our best curling the past two days, and hopefully it continues tonight," Gushue said. "We just need one game, one great game, and well be in Winnipeg. But unfortunately, were playing a real good team, and theyre playing well too. So were going to give it everything we have and hopefully come out on top." While disappointed, Laycock was also philosophical after the loss. "We came in ranked fifth, and we finished fourth," said Laycock. ";Disappointing to lose out there, but they played a great game though. Brad make five or six doubles that were huge." Markus Golden Jersey .J. Hardy finally got in on the fun Saturday, against a likely opponent. Evan Boehm Jersey . The 18-year-old Januzaj has made his breakthrough at United this season, including scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Sunderland before the recent international break. His performances have sparked a debate about where his international future lies.There isnt usually much love exchanged between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. Look no further than Milan Lucics supposed actions during last playoffs post-series handshake line. The Atlantic Division rivals meet for the first time since that second-round postseason series tonight as the Habs play their home opener against the Bruins. You can listen to the game live on TSN Radio 690 Montreal with coverage beginning at 5:30pm et. Boston entered the 2014 playoffs as the winner of the Presidents Trophy and rolled past Detroit in the first round. However, the Bruins run to the Stanley Cup Finals ended with a frustrating and disappointing seven-game loss to the Canadiens in the second round. Following a 3-1 loss in Game 7 at home, Lucic was seen exchanging words during the handshake with Montreals Dale Weise, reportedly saying to him Im going to (expletive) kill you next year. Weise didnt want to again address the situation on Wednesday. What incident are you talking about? I saw a few highlights on TV. I think it was blown out of proportion. I really dont feel like spending any time talking about it, Weiss told Montreals website. Thats how he plays every night. I dont think hell play any differently against us. Hes a guy that plays hard. He plays with intensity, no matter the opponent. I dont think Ive ever seen him play without intensity. Hes a tough guy to play against. Last seasons playoff victory only extended the Canadiens recent run of success in this series, with the Habs also having won six of the last seven regular-season meetings. Montreal heads home for the first time for four straight following a 3-1-0 road trip to begin the season. The Canadiens won the first three games of the swing before getting routed 7-1 by Tampa Bay on Monday. John Brown Jersey. Brendan Gallagher scored the only goal of the game for the Canadiens, while Carey Price allowed four goals on 23 shots prior to getting pulled after the second period. Dustin Tokarski fared just as badly, allowing three goals on 18 shots in the third period. We had some quality scoring chances, we just didnt put the puck in the net, said Canadiens forward P.K. Subban. The Habs have still yet to put the puck in the net on the power play this season. They failed on four chances versus the Lightning and are 0-for-14 on the man advantage this season. Price should get a chance to rebound tonight and is 17-8-3 with a 2.50 goals against average and .919 save percentage in his career against the Bruins. Boston arrives having avoid a fourth straight loss with last nights 3-2 shootout win over Detroit. David Krejci and Reilly Smith scored once each in regulation, then tallied again in the tiebreaker. Tuukka Rask made 18 stops for the Bruins, who had lost three in a row in regulation for the first time since a four-game skid from March 10-15, 2012. A real tough win. But a win we deserved, Boston coach Claude Julien said. Probably the best game weve played to this point. It is unknown if Rask will start on back-to-back nights, though he is just 1-5-1 in his career when facing the Canadiens with a 3.30 GAA and .874 save percentage. Backup Niklas Svedberg has made two career starts, neither against the Habs.
