BOSTON - The Boston Bruins end the season as losers. Rubbing salt in the wound, Bruins winger Milan Lucic has been labelled a sore loser in some quarters. The hulking Bruin didnt abandon his prickly game when the best-of-seven series ended in a 3-1 victory for Montreal in Wednesdays Game 7 at the TD Garden. Lucic had words with several Canadiens during the traditional post-series handshake on the ice. The 25-year-old from Vancouver aggressively shook hands and had words with fourth-liner Dale Weise and defenceman Alexei Emelin. #WhatLucicToldWeise was trending on Twitter in Canada on Thursday. An animated Lucic held onto Weises hand as he had his say and then had words with Emelin. Montreal forward David Desharnais, who was behind the defenceman, put his hands on Emelins elbow during the exchange, as if to guide him past. "Milan Lucic had a few things to say to a couple of guys," said Weise, who declined to go into specifics. "You look at a guy like Shawn Thornton who has been around the league and he plays hard and he plays that role and he had good things to say to everybody. He won with class and Milan Lucic just couldnt do that. Well, I wont get into what he said, its just a poor, its just a poor way to lose.” The Bruin reportedly said: "Im going to kill you next year," with an F-Bomb thrown in for good measure. Lucic, clearly still feeling the emotion of the loss, was unrepentant in the locker-room. "Its said on the ice so itll stay on the ice. So If he (Weise) wants to be a baby about it - he can make it public." Asked about allegations by some Habs of Boston disrespect during the series, Lucic was agog. "Disrespect? I dont know what theyre talking about. Disrespect? Having a goal celebration, what kind of disrespect is that? Im not going to say anything. Ive got nothing to say about that." Lucics behaviour during hockeys time-honoured handshake line, seen as a mark of respect, drew a quick response. "All he can do now, though, is apologize for his error in judgment," Adam Kaufman wrote in boston.com. "Or hell be known as another guy who disrespected arguably the greatest tradition in all of sports." "Milan Lucic probably wont be up for Sportsman of the Year," tweeted Sports Illustrated in the link to its story. Others were more forgiving. But Lucic wasnt the only one talking tough after the game. "Great to see a Canadian team finally take out the Bruins in a game 7," tweeted Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in seven games to win the Stanley Cup in 2011. Boston has also taken out both Toronto and Montreal in Game 7s in recent years.

Nacho Monreal Arsenal Jersey . -- Two out of three aint bad.TORONTO -- Randy Carlyle didnt like what he saw from goaltender James Reimer, so the hook came as he was walking off the bench at the first intermission. The Toronto Maple Leafs coach tapped Jonathan Bernier and said simply: "Youre going in." Reimer had given up three goals on 12 shots to the Detroit Red Wings, partially the product of him but also his teammates making a handful of blunders. Reimer wasnt happy about being pulled. He would have liked to be able to play through. "You want that chance to get in there and fight and battle for your teammates and try and get a win," he said. "But obviously Randy had other thoughts, and hes the coach and hes the one who makes those decisions. I just try and stop pucks." In Carlyles estimation, Reimer did not do a good enough job of that, specifically on Joakim Anderssons wrap-around goal that went in off his stick and then on Tomas Jurcos that snuck in to make it 3-1 Detroit. The concern for Carlyle began when the Red Wings first shot on Reimer got into and out of his glove. "I thought the rebounds were bouncing away from him," the Leafs coach said after the 5-4 shootout loss. "When a goaltender is in the zone, pucks usually dont go through him, and their third goal went through him. ... "When you do that you do that not based upon not specifically the individual thats getting pulled. You do it for your team that somehow you can get a spark for your team, and I thought Bernier came in and did that for us." Reimer didnt get an explanation from Carlyle after being yaanked for the fourth time this season, not counting Oct.dddddddddddd 17 against Carolina when he left with an injury. Bernier was coming back from a lower-body injury suffered Monday in a collision with Pittsburgh forward Jayson Megna that cost him a potential start Thursday against the Coyotes. He reported feeling OK physically in his first action since then. "Obviously the shootout and going in the game (off the bench) like this is not the best for after an injury, but it was fine," Bernier said. Bernier stopped 25 of the 26 shots he faced in the second and third periods and then overtime. The only goal he gave up was to Tomas Tatar in the third period, but Bernier emphasized the positives of erasing a two-goal deficit. "Coming back after (3-1), its pretty impressive," he said. "I think its a big point for us. Obviously coming back against a good team like this, it should be a huge confidence (boost)." Its uncertain where Reimers confidence is after an up-and-down week. His followed up pointed comments after Tuesdays loss to the Florida Panthers about his teammates lack of consistent effort with 34 saves in a victory over Phoenix on Thursday. Then came Saturday night, when everything fell apart in a forgettable first period. "Obviously I didnt want to get pulled," Reimer said. "Its the last thing I wanted, I wanted to hang in there. But thats Randys decision, and I respect what he decides. I may not like it, but thats irrelevant. Hes the one who makes those decisions, and so, yeah, thats really all I got." ' ' '
