MINSK, Belarus - Olaf Eller watched from afar on his
computer as his son Lars and the Montreal Canadiens lost
Game 5 to the Boston Bruins, and he didnt believe the
series would end well. That changed after talking to his
25-year-old son that night. "He is always very honest,"
Olaf Eller said Thursday at the world hockey
championship. "So I was a little bit surprised when I got
the strong feeling from him that they would win that
series. After Game 5, he was very clear and very sharp:
Were gonna win that thing. That was not the opinion I had
after Game 5. "After Game 5, I didnt think they would
win. But he said, We are all very sure that were gonna
run them out." Run them out, the Habs did 4-0 in Game 6
before finishing off the Bruins with a 3-1 victory in
Game 7 on Wednesday night. That was not a result Eller,
coach of Denmarks junior team, could have predicted
earlier this week. But he felt OK going into the series,
based on this past regular season. "You could see during
the season that they had the assets, the tools," said
Eller, who is in Minsk as a member of the Danish teams
support staff. "You could see that in the games against
Boston during the season, they were able to play a good
game against Boston. ... I had a feeling that if they
could come around Tampa, I had the feeling they could
beat Boston." Its not easy for Eller and his wife to be
in Minsk right now. In addition to Lars being in the East
final that begins Saturday against the New York Rangers,
18-year-old son Mads is in the Memorial Cup with the
Edmonton Oil Kings. Olaf Eller finds a way to watch all
the games on his computer from in Europe — he only
missed one game of the Habs-Bruins series — and talks to
Lars after each one. The post-Game 7 conversation was a
particularly enjoyable one. "He was very, very happy,"
Eller said of his son. "They were in the bus on their way
to the airport, so everybody was very happy." Lars Eller
has nine points through 11 games, leading Montreal
forwards in scoring and trailing just star defenceman
P.K. Subban. His father is proud of how his son rebounded
from a rough regular season. "He managed to start another
season, show that the post-season is another season and
he has been good in the playoffs," said Olaf Eller, who
plans to go to Montreal if the Habs reach the Stanley Cup
final. Beyond just being a hockey dad, Eller is the coach
of Esbjerg IK in Denmarks top hockey league. Because of
that, he has an appreciation for the adjustments Montreal
coach Michel Therrien and his staff made in these
playoffs to get to this point. Eller praised Therrien for
shuffling Daniel Briere, Brandon Prust, Travis Moen,
Francis Bouillon, Douglas Murray and Nathan Beaulieu in
and out of the lineup at the right times. "I think the
coaching staff, by their analyzing of their opponents, by
their ability to adjust the team in the lineup from game-
to-game ... made a huge success there," he said. "All
those small adjustments paid off, eh?" --- Follow @SWhyno

Classic.Columbus, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Martin,
Anders Lee and Brian Strait all had second-period goals
to lift the New York Islanders to a 5-2 win over the
Columbus Blue Jackets. Strait added an assist on Kyle
Okposos marker in the third period, with Nikolay Kulemin
also lighting the lamp to help the Islanders improve to
4-2-0 on their current seven-game road trip. We have some
chemistry here, Strait said. The coach has been doing a
great job this year getting us to go in the right
direction. New York outshot the Blue Jackets by a 40-18
margin, with Chad Johnson needing to record just 16 saves
to collect the victory. As a result, the Isles stayed a
point up on Pittsburgh for first place in the
Metropolitan Division, after the Pens nipped the Habs in
OT. Sergei Bobrovsky made 35 saves in Columbus second 5-2
setback in as many nights, having fallen to Toronto by
the same score on Friday. Jack Johnson and Nick Foligno
each registered goals in defeat. We didnt execute well,
Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards said. We spent too
much time in our own zone. Martin began New Yorks second-
period barrage by tipping in a Ryan Strome feed during a
3-on-2 rush to snap a 1-1 tie midway through the stanza.
Just over 3 1/2 minutes later, Lee beat a defenseless
Bobrovsky on a breakaway after stealing the puck from the
Jackets Kevin Connauton. Strait made it a 4-1 Islanders
lead with his first goal of the season, a quicck shot
from the left circle that got past Bobrovskys glove side
2:29 prior to the second intermission.dddddddddddd
Foligno knocked in the rebound of Ryan Johansens initial
attempt 3:30 into the third period to bring Columbus back
within two. The Blue Jackets mustered few chances
thereafter, however, and Okposo sealed the result on a
shot that deflected off the skate of Columbus James
Wisniewski and got by Bobrovsky with just over five
minutes left. Kulemin got New York off to a soaring
start, re-directing a long drive from Nick Leddy a mere
31 seconds after the opening faceoff. The Isles owned a
16-4 shot advantage for the first period, but Columbus
drew even at its conclusion by converting a power-play
chance. With Kulemin in the box for interference, Johnson
one-timed a blast from the right point through traffic
with 4:42 elapsed in the contest. Game Notes The win was
only the second for the Islanders as the visitor in the
history of this series. New York had gone 1-8 with one
tie in its previous 10 trips to Columbus ... Johansen
extended his point streak to 10 games with an assist on
Folignos goal, but had a five-game run with at least one
goal halted ... Foligno now owns a seven-game point
streak, having notched two goals and eight assists over
that stretch ... The Islanders conclude their trip
Tuesday against the rival Rangers at Madison Square
Garden.
