The New York Rangers will try to take a commanding 3-0
series lead and push the Montreal Canadiens to the brink
of elimination in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final
on Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York. After
erasing a 3-1 series deficit against the Penguins in the
second round though, the Rangers know that things can
change quickly in a best-of-seven series. Theyre not
about to look ahead or become complacent thanks to that
experience and the winning pedigree of their veteran
leaders. "Plays happen fast; emotional swings happen
fast, penalties happen fast and different things do
because everything is magnified," Rangers forward Brian
Boyle pointed out. "So if you can kind of keep your heart
rate at a steady level, I think its beneficial. "But
people talk about the whole experience of the playoffs,
winning it all or just getting to the finals and we have
some people that have been through it. Thats kept
everybody on an even keel and trying to work for that
next goal and that next win. Thats what we need to
continue to do." After being shut out in Games 2 and 3 of
that second-round series against Pittsburgh and then
mustering just 15 shots in their 4-2 loss in Game 4, the
Rangers used that leadership to do some soul-searching
and havent lost since. "We got a group in here that no
matter what, were gonna play and were gonna play hard,"
said Boyle, who has four points in the playoffs. "Thats
something that came when things changed after Game 4 in
that last series. That feeling stuck with us for two
days. Teams have had bad losses, Ive had bad losses but
theres nothing quite like that one. But the way weve
rallied together through adversity, every guy in this
room, its got us to here. But we still got quite a bit of
that mountain left to climb." Thats why they plan to be
ready for a Montreal team that is in a similar state to
what New York was following that demoralizing Game 4 loss
to the Penguins. "Im sure theyre going to be motivated
and we need to match that," Boyle said. "Theres mistakes
we made and we need to correct those and be even better.
We need to be ready and be ready for their best. This is
the playoffs and you need four wins to win a series and
that doesnt come easily." James Murphy is a freelance

Thomas Mueller fired Bayern Munich to a 1-0 win away over
CSKA Moscow in an empty stadium on Tuesday in the
Champions League.Mueller put Bayern ahead from the
penalty spot in the 22nd minute, after Mario Goetze was
fouled by CSKAs Mario Fernandes as he dribbled into the
box.The Germany striker slipped while taking the penalty,
but still managed to hit it straight and avoid injury.The
spotkick earned Bayern a second consecutive 1-0 victory
in Group E after beating Manchester City earlier this
month.Group rival Roma, which opened with a 5-1 victory
over CSKA, played City later Tuesday. The Russian
champions are bottom after two defeats.The match was
played behind closed doors at Arena Khimki near Moscow as
CSKAs punishment for racist behaviour by its fans during
a match against Viktoria Plzen last season.Bayern
dominated the first 25 minutes and could have scored more
in the early stages, notably on 11 minutes when CSKA
goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was forced to turn a shot by
Arjen Robben round the post.After Mueller put the
visiting team ahead, CSKA responded well, taking
advantage of Bayerns high defensive line to threaten the
German champions on the counterattack.Finnish midfielder
Roman Eremenko came closest for CSKA, hitting the post
with one curling shot from the edge of the box and also
sending a similar effort just over the
bar.ddddddddddddAhmed Musas pace caused Bayern problems
as the Nigerian forward charged in behind the German
teams defence and hit a shot that Bayern keeper Manuel
Neuer parried. With Neuer out of position, Zoran Tosic
missed the target with his follow-up.Bayern nearly went
into half-time 2-0 up after Akinfeev stopped a shot from
Goetze and Robert Lewandowskis follow-up effort was
blocked.Bayern coped better with Musas pace in the second
half and succeeded in starving CSKA of possession for
long periods, while using possession to slow the game
down.Late on, Mueller could have scored his second, but
lost the ball as he tried to round goalkeeper
Akinfeev.CSKA management has said it expects the Russian
champions other two group stage home games to be played
without fans as punishment for pending UEFA charges of
fan racism and violence during the defeat to Roma earlier
this month.Last years match between Bayern and CSKA in
Russia was also played under a partial stadium ban after
UEFA ruled that CSKA fans had racially abused Manchester
City midfielder Yaya Toure.Bayerns next Champions League
match is a trip to Roma on October 21, when CSKA hosts
Man City.
