BOSTON -- The Penguins are improving at putting more shots on net. They just need to put more into the net. And theyre running out of time. Pittsburgh forced Boston goalie Tuukka Rask to make 53 saves, but the Bruins won 2-1 in double overtime on Wednesday night for a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. The Penguins must keep firing pucks at Rask, forward Pascal Dupuis said Thursday, and "with the firepower that we have on our team, eventually they will go in." If "eventually" doesnt come Friday night, their season will be over in stunning fashion. The team of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and other top offensive threats will have been swept in the best-of-seven series. It would be a shocking end to a season in which the Penguins led the NHL in scoring, and averaged 4.27 goals per game in their first two playoff series, but have been outscored 11-2 in the three losses to the Bruins. Only three teams have overcome 3-0 playoff deficits. The Penguins know the odds are stacked heavily against them but are trying to ignore that. "I think if youre betting right now, youre not betting on the Penguins down 3-0," said forward Brandon Sutter, who has one of their two goals. "But were not going to quit. The percentages are, obviously, against us, but weve got a good team." The top-seeded Penguins were dominated by the fourth-seeded Bruins in the first two games, losing 3-0 and 6-1. But in Game 3, they outplayed Boston for much of regulation. "We need to be the team who we believe we are and go back to whats made us successful," forward Matt Cooke said. "Obviously, the result wasnt there, but the effort and determination and style of play was more like who we are." The Bruins won when Patrice Bergeron, covered closely by defenceman Brooks Orpik, redirected Brad Marchands pass behind goalie Tomas Vokoun at 15:19 of the second overtime. An inch or two either way, and the pass might have missed Bergerons stick or his shot could have gone wide of the net. "He drove the net. He outbattled the guy," said Bruins centre David Krejci, the leading scorer in the playoffs. "It looked pretty simple, but its tough when you go to the net to keep your stick on the ice and he managed to do that and got a big goal." But the Bruins had their worst game of the series. They allowed too many shots, gave the puck away too often and didnt score in regulation after Krejci connected just 1:42 into the first period. "Weve got to play a better game," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "We might have won the game, but were certainly not pleased with the way we played. We know they played better, but I dont think we did, and weve got to make sure were at the top of our game (Friday)." The last team to lose a series after going up 3-0 was the Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010. This year, Boston led Toronto 3-1 in the first round then lost the next two games and trailed 4-1 with 11 minutes left in the third period of Game 7 before winning 5-4 in overtime. In the next round, the Bruins led the New York Rangers 3-0, lost Game 4, then won Game 5. "Its not over until you close that fourth (win) out," Bostons Johnny Boychuk said. "At any point, the series can switch." And the Bruins dont want to go back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 on Sunday night. "You just have to have that killer instinct and just forget what happened in the past three games and just focus on that one game," defenceman Dennis Seidenberg said. "Whenever we play in the moment we play our best hockey." Sidney Crosbys hockey has been far from his best. The NHL scoring leader has no goals and no assists in the series. His turnover led to Marchands goal just 28 seconds into Game 2. "You just have to trust your game and know that when you absolutely need it the most, everyone is going to show up and bring it and kind of let everything happen," said Crosby, Pittsburghs captain. "I thought again (Wednesday) we did a lot of good things and probably deserved better." The Penguins have been scoreless on the power play in the series. But one of the Bruins top penalty killers, centre Gregory Campbell, is sidelined for the playoffs after breaking his right leg when he dove and blocked a shot by Malkin in the second period on Wednesday. Without him, the Bruins must "focus in a little bit more and making sure were taking care of the pucks," defenceman Torey Krug said. But the Penguins need to score more whether theyre on the power play or at even strength. And Wednesdays game showed that theyre getting closer to doing that. "On any given night, some of the chances we had go in and it could be five or six goals," Sutter said. "By no means are we going to panic about scoring goals." Cheap Air Jordan 11 Retro Grey .

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell viewed bringing in Greg Hardy for a workout last week as a fact-finding mission rather than an attempt to bolster their pass rush.Caldwell said Monday that the Jaguars didnt intend to sign Hardy after his two-day workout last Wednesday and Thursday but wanted to see him on the field and meet with him so they would have enough information about the free-agent defensive end should they decide to pursue him in the future.It was really to find out more about him so we dont have any questions going into the season, Caldwell said. Theres no what-ifs for us right now. There could have been a what-if Week 3, Week 4 or into the preseason, but we kind of have our questions answered as to our game plan for him.... It was an opportunity for us -- heres a guy that was a franchise defensive end two years ago sitting out on the street -- to bring him in, work him out and try to find out the facts where hes at, the truth behind everything that surrounds him and just do our homework.Caldwell said the team spoke with Hardy about his domestic violence conviction and eventual dismissal as well as events that transpired last season while he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys. However, Caldwell said he wouldnt go into the specifics of what the team asked and Hardys responses.We brought him in and he did a workout, Caldwell said. Its not often you get your chance to put your hands on a player of that caliber to work him out. So well just see where its at. We have no imminent plans of signing him at this point, but it was good to get him in here and find out about him.Hardy, 27, has 40 sacks in six seasons, including six last season. The Cowboys did not renew his contract, and he went unsigned during free agency.Hardy was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season for violating the NFLs personal conduct policy in connection with a 2014 domestic violence incident. He was accused of assaulting theen-girlfriend Nicole Holder; he allegedly threw her into a bathtub and on a futon covered with guns and tried to choke her.ddddddddddddA judge in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, found him guilty on charges of domestic violence in July 2014.Hardy denied the charges and said Holder was under the influence of alcohol and was angry because he told her to leave his home. He appealed the conviction, and the case was dismissed in February 2015 after prosecutors said they were unable to locate Holder. The prosecutors also said Holder had reached a settlement with Hardy.In addition, Hardy stirred controversy throughout the 2015 season with several comments, including saying he was going to come out guns blazing in his return to the field. Hardy also shoved an assistant coach and got into a shouting match on the sideline with Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant.Caldwell said he was aware of a potential public relations backlash if the team were to sign Hardy and said that decision would not be made lightly.Domestic violence is a serious issue, Caldwell said. Theres no place for it in the world, let alone the NFL. But I think for us, were going to do whats best for our team. We have 52 players that want to win. We have a coaching staff that wants to win as much as our fan base. Were going to turn over every rock, but not at any price.The Jaguars lack a veteran edge rusher and did have conversations with Hardys agent during free agency, but did not pursue him at that time.Jacksonville tried to sign Olivier Vernon in free agency, but he agreed to a five-year, $85 million deal with the New York Giants. The Jaguars top two edge rushers are Dante Fowler, Jr., who missed his rookie season in 2015 after suffering a torn left ACL on the first day of rookie minicamp, and rookie Yannick Ngakoue, the teams third-round draft pick.
