IRVING, Texas - Tony Romos back was the top priority for
the Dallas Cowboys on their long plane ride to
London.Even higher than the comfort of owner Jerry Jones
wife.Gene will sit up in the bulkhead, Jones joked a day
before Mondays flight. Romo will lounge on the way over.
You dont think itd be me, do you?Assuming Romos third
back injury in 18 months makes it through the nine-hour
flight no worse for the wear, the next question will be
how much preparation time he can handle.Romo missed
practice all last week and watched Sunday while backup
Brandon Weeden failed to get Dallas into the end zone
until a 28-17 loss to Arizona was out of reach.The
Cowboys were scheduled to land in London on Tuesday
morning, hoping to get into their routine as much as
possible ahead of Sundays game against Jacksonville.So
far this season, that plan has been meetings and a short
walk-through Tuesday, and regular practices Wednesday
through Friday.Romo has skipped Wednesday workouts since
the regular season started after surgery for a herniated
disk last December. The latest injury is two fractures of
small bones in the back, and others with the same injury
have missed one game.Absolutely, coach Jason Garrett said
Monday when asked if he thought Romo could play. Feel
better today and get through the flight, feel good when
he gets over there and well take it day by day this
week.The Cowboys looked like they missed Romo against the
Cardinals, who stacked the line of scrimmage and ended
DeMarco Murrays record streak of eight straight 100-yard
games to start the season, holding him to 79 yards
rushing on 19 carries.Weeden didnt make the leagues worst
pass defence pay for it, repeatedly misfiring to Dez
Bryant and others before throwing his first interception
with Dallas in scoring range in the third quarter and his
second to end any hopes of a comeback in the fourth.I
think Romo could have probably been expected to get to
those second, third and fourth receivers, Jones said. I
would have liked for him to be able to get some third and
fourth options in there because we had them. That would
have made a big difference out there, but again, thats a
lot to expect from a guy in his situation.Weeden is 31,
but was making just his 21st NFL start because he spent
five years playing minor league baseball. He replaced
Kyle Orton as Romos backup when Orton thought about
retiring, which prompted his release before he signed
with Buffalo. Orton is starting for the Bills now.The
Cowboys were pleased with Weeden through the preseason,
and in relief when he led scoring drives on the only two
possessions Romo missed after getting hurt against
Washington a week ago.But in his first start, he looked a
lot like the quarterback who was run out of Cleveland
just two years after the Browns drafted him in the first
round, with a career record of 5-15 and more
interceptions than touchdowns. Garrett said he still
thinks he has a backup who can win.I thought Brandon did
a really good job when he came into the game the other
night against Washington, Garrett said. But for the most
part we didnt do what we needed to do in the passing game
throughout the game yesterday. Weve got to build on some
of the good things that did happen.Weeden and Bryant were
on the same team at Oklahoma State, but didnt play
together much. Bryant had joined the Cowboys before
Weeden became the starter.Weeden sure was looking for
Bryant, targeting him 10 times. And yet Bryants 56-game
streak with at least one catch was in jeopardy before two
meaningless grabs in the final 2 minutes, including a 3-
yard touchdown.Without question I missed (Romo), but I
believe in Weeden too, said Bryant, who had a season-low
15 yards receiving. Weve got to go back to the drawing
board and try to fix what we need to fix.NOTES: LB
Rolando McClain and DT Tyrone Crawford had MRIs on their
injured knees Monday, but were expected to make the trip.

practice squad.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org

here," leading scorer Phil Kessel said Wednesday. The
most recent failed season came with even more pain than
the six that preceded it. There was no hint of an
impending implosion when the Leafs came roaring out of
the all-star break with back-to-back games against
Pittsburgh -- a 5-4 shootout loss followed by a 1-0 win
the next night.

.Y. - Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs didnt flinch
in the face of adversity.BOSTON -- Montreal coach Michel
Therrien wanted to continue his teams drive to the
playoffs more than to snap Bostons 12-game winning
streak. The Canadiens accomplished both. Alex Galchenyuk
scored the only shootout goal, and the Canadiens got
their fifth win in six games, 2-1 over the Bruins on
Monday night. "Its not about their streak," Therrien
said. "Its more about getting those two points and trying
to qualify for the playoffs." Montreal tied Tampa Bay for
the third-most points in the Eastern Conference, but has
played one more game. The Bruins fell one game short of
their longest winning streak since 1970-71 and two shy of
the club record set in 1929-30. But their one point from
the shootout loss moved them ahead of Western Conference-
leading St. Louis for the most in the NHL with 104. "You
cant win 12 in a row and lose one in a shootout and say,
Im really disappointed in my team, " Boston coach Claude
Julien said. Boston was uncharacteristically
undisciplined for the two periods then tied it at 1 with
just two seconds left on its sixth power play of the
game. Dougie Hamiltons slap shot from the centre of the
blue line deflected off Patrice Bergeron and past goalie
Peter Budaj with 5:26 left in the third period. It was
Bergerons 23rd goal of the season. Budaj also stopped a
four-game Bruins winning streak with a 4-1 victory in
Boston on Jan. 30. "We are very confident with him back
there," Montreal forward Brian Gionta said. "That first
period he made some huge saves and even in the second he
made some big saves where they could have been back in
the game real quick." Bostons last loss came March 1, 4-2
to Washington. Montreal grabbed the lead on Alexei
Emelins third goal of the season at 6:39 of the first.
Emelins shot from the blue line deflected off Bruins
forward Chris Kelly about 30 feet from the net and rose
over the glove of goalie Tuukka Rask. In the shootout,
Bergeron, Jarome Iginla, Brad Marchannd and David Krejci
missed for Boston while Thomas Vanek, David Desharnais
and Daniel Briere failed for Montreal.dddddddddddd Then
Galchenyuk went in close to put the puck between Rasks
stick and the post to the right of the goaltender. "I was
excited and all the moves were playing in my head,"
Galchenyuk said. "They were on a roll and we are happy
that were the team that ended that roll." The Bruins had
three power plays in the first 11 minutes of the third
period but were outshot 5-1 as the Canadiens picked off
errant passes and cleared the puck from their zone.
"Hopefully, next time when we get that many (power-play)
opportunities well get more than one (goal)," Bruins
forward Milan Lucic said. The Canadiens won despite
losing two forwards, Dale Weise and Travis Moen, early in
the first period. Bruins defenceman Kevan Miller sent
Weise sprawling into the boards 4:50 into the game then
fought with Moen, who challenged him after the hit. "I
felt bad about it. I just kind of bumped into (Weise),"
Miller said. "I stood there just trying to make sure he
was OK for a second and Moen asked if I wanted to
(fight)." Montreal had an excellent opportunity with a
two-man advantage for 44 seconds late in the second
period when Johnny Boychuk was called for roughing P.K.
Subban and joined Iginla in the penalty box. The
Canadiens took four shots on goal before Iginlas penalty
ended and none during the rest of the power play. Budaj
came up with a big glove save when he stopped Zdeno
Charas slap shot from the blue line with 5 seconds left
in the second period. NOTES: Montreal C Lars Eller missed
the game with a lower-body injury. He has played in 71 of
his teams 73 games. ... Former Bruins defenceman Ray
Bourque dropped the ceremonial first puck. ... Rask is 3-
11-2 in his career against Montreal. Budaj is 5-2 in his
career against Boston. ... The Canadiens are 31-0-3 when
leading after the second period.
