MONTREAL -- Its Brad Richards turn to be the old hand, tutoring his young New York Rangers teammates on what its like to win a Stanley Cup. Air Jordan Canada Store . It wasnt like that in 2004, when Richards and teammate Martin St. Louis won the Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning. "This whole playoffs its been fun to do that," the 34-year-old Richards said Tuesday. "When I was in Tampa, Marty also, we didnt really have a clue what we were doing. "We were first time through it, leaning on other people, older people, asking them all the questions. Its fun to try to gather the group and talk about things. This group has come together so much and they ask a lot of questions. They make fun of us a lot for doing that, too, but its fun to try to help out that way." The Rangers are two wins away from a trip to the Stanley Cup final after taking the opening two games of the NHL Eastern Conference final from the Canadiens in Montreal. They swamped the flat-footed Canadiens 7-2 in the series opener on Monday afternoon, but then needed a 40-save effort from goalie Henrik Lundqvist to pull out a 3-1 win in a major Montreal push-back on Monday night. Game 3 is set for Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. In 2004, the Canadiens came back to beat Boston in the opening round but then were swept by the Lightning. This year, Montreal is again coming off a Game 7 win over the Bruins and is in danger of losing in four straight to the Rangers. That has Richards, a P.E.I. native who played junior hockey in Quebec with the 2000 Memorial Cup champion Rimouski Oceanic, and Montreal native St. Louis at 6-0 in career playoff games against the Canadiens. Their message to teammates who havent won a Cup is to not let the opportunity slip away. "Weve been to the conference final twice in three years, thats very rare," said Richards. "Look at teams around the league that you think are going to have chances to win Cups every year and it just doesnt happen. "Its very tough. I havent been back to a final since 04. I just try to hammer that stuff home." And despite taking the first two games on enemy ice, the conference final is far from over even if Montreals star goalie Carey Price is out with a suspected right knee injury for the rest of the series. The Canadiens had the puck most of the first period on Monday but came out of it down 2-1 due to an unlucky bounce on a shot from the red-hot Ryan McDonagh and blast on the rush from Rick Nash that was perhaps third-string goalie Dustin Tokarskis only big mistake. Montreal will no doubt come out hard again in Game 3. "Im sure they have more," said Richards. "And you dont always roll the dice that your goalies going to stop all those shots. "They could come with less and score two goals. You just never know. But youve got to give yourself an opportunity and thats by holding onto pucks and getting it down the other end. We did that in Game 1, but in Game 2... youre playing with fire is what Im trying to say." Montreal coach Michel Therrien said his team is confident it can still win the series if it gives up fewer odd-man rushes and keeps up the fast-paced game it brought on Monday night. "I believe that we will turn it around," said Therrien. "Yes, the first game was tough for us emotionally and physically. "We didnt get much time between Game 7 (against Boston) and Game 1 (against the Rangers), and it was an afternoon game. It shows in the result. But I thought we regrouped really well. We were a team that played with a lot of energy, that was pushing the pace, and we played a solid game." Therrien spoke to the media on a conference call while his players took what he said was a much-needed day off. They will practice on Tuesday before flying to New York. "The only thing that were going to focus on is to make sure weve got another solid game in New York," he said. "You get one win and after that, the momentum can change really quickly in the playoffs." There is also the chance of fatigue setting in on the Rangers, whose first two rounds went seven games each. Therrien touched off a debate by giving Tokarski his first NHL playoff start over regular backup Peter Budaj, who let in three goals on eight shots after subbing for Price in the third period of the series opener. It seemed like a hunch. The 24-year-old Tokarski, who has played only 10 NHL regular season games over five years with Tampa Bay and Montreal, has a history of winning championships at the junior and AHL levels, while Budaj has a career 0-2-0 NHL playoff record. It appeared Therrien will stick with Tokarski, at least for Game 3. He said Tokarski played well and wasnt the reason they lost. He also liked what he saw of Alex Galchenyuk, who missed the final two games of the regular season and the first 12 playoff games with a knee problem. The gifted forward taken third overall in the 2012 draft skated on left wing on the second line with Tomas Plekanec and Thomas Vanek. "For a guy that hadnt played for six weeks, I thought he did well," said Therrien. "Especially because this is not regular season pace, this is a playoff pace. "I thought Alex was capable, made some plays. The more the series goes on, the more were going to see Alex get better and better." It should be a happy homecoming for Rangers sniper Nash, who was without a goal in the playoffs and endured some booing in New York before the team got to Montreal. Then he scored in each of the first two games. "Ive tried to stay positive through this whole thing," said Nash. "The teams winning, and thats all I care about. "But I want to do what I can to help the team win, and its frustrating when you cant help offensively and youre supposed to." After Game 2, coach Alain Vigneault said he had an inkling that Montreal would start Tokarski, who he referred to as "that gentleman." Asked if he had another inkling for Game 3, Vigneault said: "I do, but Im not willing to share it with you."

In the days leading up to the draft, TSN.ca and TSN Radio basketball analyst Duane Watson looks at some of the names that will be headlining the event. Tonight, Michigans Nik Stauskas of Mississauga, Ontario.Last season the 12th-man proved almost impossible to beat, the 11-men that took the field on either side of the ball in front of them were just as tough, and the Seattle Seahawks rode a talented squad and an overwhelming home advantage to a franchise first Super Bowl championship. Only eight champions have been repeat winners of the NFLs ultimate prize and none since New England Patriots knocked off the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles to win back-to-back crowns. Are the Seahawks the right squad to be the ninth team to achieve the feat? At 26.4 years-old, the Seahawks boasted the second youngest team to ever win the championship and that is a great sign for their future success. Quarterback Russell Wilson followed an elite rookie season with an even better sophomore campaign to lead his team to the top. After throwing 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first year, he repeated the number of majors while lowering his picks to 9 for the season. If that was all there was to say about Wilson and his skills that would be enough, however he also rushed for 539 yards and a touchdown proving to be skilled on his feet as well as with his arm. A healthy Percy Harvin should make for a strong passing game, even if they will have to deal with the loss of both Golden Tate and Sidney Rice at the position. Tate is now plying his trade for the Detroit Lions and Rice has called time on his career, but in Doug Baldwin and his 50 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns and Jermaine Kearse and his four touchdowns last season, the Seahawks are not going to be short of skilled options in their passing game. In the backfield once again will be one of the most imposing and hardest to tackle players in the NFL inn Marshawn Lynch. Cheap Jordan Shoes Sale. Last season he contributed 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns on 301 carries and he also caught two touchdowns out of the backfield. To call these weapons a dynamic offence is probably a major understatement and they might not even be the most talented unit on the team. The Seahawks also boast an incredibly strong, skilled and hard hitting defence, led by talented Richard Sherman who makes tough plays and big plays in the biggest moments. Sherman is the type of player that can erase a wide receiver from an offenses entire plan and he doesnt run the field alone. Earl Thomas is considered to be the best free safeties in the league and along with Sherman has stated his goal to be talked about among the all-time greats of the game. Safety Kam Chancellor is also one of the best at his position and while he might not get the same ink as the other two high profile defenders, was second team all-pro last season so his credentials are nowhere near being in question. The defence did take some offseason hits having lost cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond III, and defensive linemen Chris Clemons, Red Bryant and Clinton McDonald. This team has survived on a next man up philosophy thus far and there is no reason to believe all of the holes created by those departures wont also easily be filled. The ace in the hole is the rabid fan base that helped the Seahawks to a 7-1 record during the regular season in Seattle and two huge home playoff victories the propelled them to the Super Bowl. Beating the Seahawks is incredibly tough and winning in Seattle is even tougher, those are the ingredients to another top notch, possibly championship calibre season.
