BOSTON — It is rather rare that a team spends several days in a city and then plays a hockey game on the fourth day.But that is what the Edmonton Oilers have done this week.After an eight-hour flight back from Sweden on Sunday following a 5-2 season-opening loss to the New Jersey Devils Adidas Zach Bogosian Jersey , the Oilers have been practicing in Boston in preparation for Thursday night’s game against the Bruins.Article continues below ...“The results weren’t what we wanted but the input and the process leads to results and we’re more concerned about that right now,” Edmonton coach Todd McLellan said Monday after his team practiced at the Bruins facility.“We addressed some things here today in practice. I thought we had a good practice. We’ve got some work to do. We felt good coming out of the preseason. We gave a bit of it back in that first game but we’ll work here in Boston and get ready to play a good team.”That good team was on a different ice surface in Boston on Monday, riding 11 points from Patrice Bergeron’s line to their second straight win — a 6-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators.After getting blown out in their season opener at Washington, after the Capitals raised their Stanley Cup banner and Alex Ovechkin took one more spin around the ice with the Cup, the Bruins have scored 10 goals in wins at Buffalo and then at home against the Senators.Bergeron had a hat trick and added an assist, David Pastrnak had two goals and two assists and Brad Marchand, who assisted on four goals in the win at Buffalo, had three more helpers Monday.Bergeron missed the preseason with back spasms but has four goals and two assists in the last two games, the line posting 18 points in the two contests.Asked if he will consider taking every preseason off so he can start like this, Bergeron said, “Probably not, after Washington’s game. But after the last two Joakim Nordstrom Jersey Womens , maybe.”As far as keeping himself sharp while not skating, he said, “there is a lot of mental parts of the game that you can still work on even though you’re not on the ice. So I tried to work on those as much as possible and other than that, I think relying on your experience from the past is something that is important as well.”The Oilers have won each of their last three games in Boston and are 5-1 against the Bruins in their last six.Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask, shelled from the opening loss in just 27 minutes, wasn’t great Monday but was good enough to win, despite allowing three goals and two shots hitting pipes. He brings a 4-3-2 lifetime record, a 2.83 goals-against average and only an .898 save percentage in nine games against the Oilers.Edmonton’s Cam Talbot allowed four goals on 26 shots, former Bruin Milan Lucic and Leon Draisatl both had a goal and an assist and Connor McDavid assisted on both goals in Sweden.Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, held out of practice Monday after getting banged up in Sweden and then went through the long flight, was back and expected to play Thursday night.Talbot 5-2-0 with a 2.72 goals-against average and .922 save percentage lifetime against the Bruins.The Bruins announced Wednesday that they are shifting Saturday night’s game against the Detroit Red Wings to 3 p.m., allowing Boston fans to be home in time to watch the Red Sox face Houston in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. RALEIGH Tyler Graovac Jersey Womens , N.C. (AP) The new owner of the Carolina Hurricanes has a soft spot for his team’s old identity – the Hartford Whalers.In the month since Tom Dundon assumed control of the Hurricanes, they’ve brought back the old ”Brass Bonanza” fight song, stocked the shelves in the team store with that beloved whale-tail logo and have discussed bringing back the Whalers, too – if only for a future turn-back-the-clock night.Under his leadership, the Hurricanes have done a 180-degree turn in the way they view, market and appreciate their past.”It’s ours, right? I mean, it’s who we were. It’s part of the history,” Dundon said in an interview with The Associated Press. ”To me, it makes a lot of sense. … This was too easy. `How could I not?’ was probably the better question.”In the month since Dundon bought a majority share of the team from longtime owner Peter Karmanos Jr., the 46-year-old Dallas businessman has made several changes – most visibly, the embracing of who the Hurricanes were before they became the Hurricanes.That’s a drastic shift from their approach under Karmanos. He purchased the Whalers in 1994 and moved the franchise to North Carolina three years later Noah Hanifin Jersey Womens , never looking back after seven consecutive losing seasons in Connecticut and complaints about attendance at what was then known as the Hartford Civic Center.That’s not the case anymore.The Hurricanes are selling Whalers T-shirts and jerseys – with that distinctive ”H” formed in the empty space between a ”W” and a whale tail – in their team store. They occasionally play ”Brass Bonanza” during stops in play. And Dundon says he’s working with the league on a plan to ”wear the uniform and sort of make it part of what we do” as part of a nostalgia night.”I think it’s really good-looking stuff, so for me it was like, this is great gear, and this is where we’ve come from, and you know, I think it’s fun,” Dundon said. ”And so for me, this is supposed to be fun, it’s entertainment, and we’re supposed to care about the team, and you see something like that that looks good and creates something to talk about and something to enjoy.”Not surprisingly, the Whalers’ identity has long had a strong sentimental attraction throughout the hockey world – especially in their former home.The state of Connecticut is selling Whalers license plates for $60 to help fund new facilities at a children’s hospital. And just last week Brian Gibbons Jersey Womens , Gov. Dan Malloy issued an open letter to Dundon to invite the Hurricanes back to the Hartford area for an outdoor game at Rentschler Field, the UConn football team’s home field, or to play a regular-season game at their former home rink.Wrote Malloy: ”In short, the Whalers’ spirit is alive and well in Hartford.”In North Carolina, though, Dundon’s arrival and subsequent appreciation for the team’s green-and-blue past has brought some buzz back to a team that is making a push for just its second playoff appearance since winning the Stanley Cup in 2006. He also has quashed those pesky, persistent relocation rumors that have plagued the franchise for years.Dundon says his fans-first ownership style was influenced by a pair of Dallas-based team owners – Mark Cuban of the NBA’s Mavericks, and Jerry Jones of the NFL’s Cowboys. He ”had a front-row seat to everything they did” as the Mavericks transformed from cellar-dweller to NBA champion.”I saw what they did with that brand over 10 years, and I don’t think anyone would have believed that the Mavericks could ever be what they became,” Dundon said. ”And with the Cowboys … Jerry has a constant focus on engaging fans and bringing attention to that brand. He thinks, probably, way bigger than I do and takes bigger risks. He’s just a genius at how he operates that team. So I’ve watched these things. I don’t think I’m going to do anything exactly like anyone else Jaroslav Halak Jersey Womens , but I’d like to think I can learn from seeing it.””We want to make sure that the team’s interesting, and we’re interesting, and right now the story is, the team’s going to make the playoffs and there’s an ownership change,” Dundon said. ”Hopefully in the future, it’s about all the winning we’re doing.”—
