VANCOUVER -- Known for his fiery demeanour during previous NHL stops, John Tortorellas anger hasnt bubbled to the surface much since he took over as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks. It showed up on Saturday night and helped spur his team to victory. Tortorella lit into the Canucks with an emotional tirade during a second-period timeout after they gave up the lead and Vancouver responded in kind by blowing the doors off the Boston Bruins in a 6-2 victory. "That was 10 out of 10," said Canucks forward David Booth, who restored Vancouvers lead just 1:20 later. "He was fired up there and it got the guys going. Were professionals. Sometimes you dont need it and sometimes you do. "That was a turning point for us and changed the outcome of the game." Henrik Sedin had a goal and an assist and Roberto Luongo made 39 saves as Vancouver won its seventh straight to finish a five-game homestand with a perfect record. "We werent playing well," said Tortorella, before adding it was "none of your business" when asked what he said during the timeout. Jannik Hansen, Chris Higgins, Yannik Weber and Christopher Tanev had the other goals for Vancouver (20-10-5), which is 8-1-1 in its last 10. Daniel Sedin, Mike Santorelli and Brad Richardson added two assists each as the Canucks thumped the Bruins in their first visit to Rogers Arena since Bostons victory in Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final. Reilly Smith had both goals for the Bruins (22-9-2), who saw their four-game winning streak snapped. A shaky Tuukka Rask allowed four goals on 23 shots for Boston, which has been hit hard by injuries and had a flu bug go through their locker-room this week. Chad Johnson replaced Rask after the Canucks fourth goal, making four stops in relief. "Im not going to make any excuses. I was pretty bad today," said Rask. "I thought we played a good game as a team. I wasnt able to help too much." The turning point came at 4:11 of the second period when Tortorella called his timeout after Smith tied the score 1-1. The Bruins were all over the Canucks before the goal and Tortorella unleashed a verbal barrage reminiscent of his previous coaching stints with the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers. Whatever he said worked. Booth restored the Canucks lead just shortly after with his fourth goal of the season, firing a shot from the left wing that went through Rask to send the usually subdued Rogers Arena crowd into a frenzy. "I think you see how passionate he gets," said Canucks forward Ryan Kesler of his coach. "You see how not pleased he was with our play and I think that passion bleeds into this team. It was a wake-up call and guys respect him." The Canucks second line of Higgins, Santorelli and Kesler has been a force during Vancouvers current winning streak and went back to work to stretch the lead to 3-1 at 8:46. Santorelli made a strong move to the net, forcing Rask to make two big saves. His third shot went off the post and fell right to Higgins, who fired into a yawning cage for his 10th of the campaign. "(Boston is) one of the best teams in the East, and I consider us one of the best teams in the West. Both teams played hard," said Tortorella. "Those are the type of games you want to be in. We didnt have to say anything before the game as far as the emotion. I knew the team was going to be ready." Luongo, who picked up the 65th shutout of his career in Fridays 4-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, made a big blocker save early in the third on a deflection by Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron before Weber put the game out of reach and ended Rasks night when he blasted a one timer past for his first of the season at 1:34. Vancouvers special teams then took over with Henrik Sedin scoring on the power play for his ninth at 4:02. Tanev then added his third, a short-handed effort, at 10:34 to make it 6-1. Smith rounded out the scoring with 3:17 left, banging a rebound past Luongo. "They had quite a push at the start of the second, they tied it up, Torts calls a timeout and we respond right away," said Luongo. "It shows a lot of character from our guys." The Canucks, who were coming off back-to-back shutouts, have allowed just eight goals during their seven-game winning streak. "The final score was much different from the way our team played," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. "They just kind of took it over in the third with the score, but the first two periods I didnt mind our game." Bruins pest Brad Marchand drew the ire of the Canucks when he mocked the Canucks bench by pretending to kiss a ring on his finger and lifting an imaginary Stanley Cup in the third period. "It shows what kind of guy he is," said Henrik Sedin. "He is a great player, its too bad he is acting like he does but that is the way it is." Julien said he didnt see the exchange, but added that the team expects better of Marchand. "Sometimes his emotions get the better of him," said Julien. "We work with him and we are going to continue to work with him." The Bruins got word earlier in the day that tough guy Shawn Thornton had been suspended 15 games for his attack on Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Brooks Orpik on Dec. 7. Both the Canucks and Bruins downplayed Saturdays rematch of the 2011 Cup final, but the energy in the stands and on the ice was palpable throughout the night. Hansen opened the scoring at 16:37 of the first period with his fifth of the season on a harmless-looking shot from centre that deflected off the stick of Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara and knuckled its way past a surprised Rask. Boston had a great chance to tie the game moments later with Milan Lucic staring Luongo down in front, but the Canucks goalie made a big save to keep the momentum on Vancouvers side. "I thought we did a lot of good things tonight," said Tortorella. "(But) we still have a ways to go to learn how to play in those type of games." Notes: Smith now has nine goals on the season. ...

Womens Raiders Jerseys . -- Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run homer, Colby Rasmus drove in two runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers 9-4 on Saturday.TORONTO – On the third day of July in the summer of 2011 the Nashville Predators flipped Matthew Lombardi to Toronto. Lombardi still had two years to go on a pricey three-year contract and questions lingered as to whether he would ever play again. To grease him along to the Maple Leafs and subsequently free up cap space Nashville had to surrender a 23-year-old defender whom they drafted and developed in the third round of the 2005 draft. That trade surprised Cody Franson. Another deal that may come to pass in the coming five weeks isnt likely to sneak up on the 6-foot-5 defenceman. His name has been bandied about in trade speculation almost to no end during three-plus seasons in Toronto, that chatter only heating up again recently. An impending unrestricted free agent this summer, Franson and the Leafs have yet agree upon terms for a new deal. Given that murky contract status and the clubs rapid descent out of a playoff spot – 14 losses in 17 games - speculation picked up that the club may opt to move the 27-year-old defender before the Mar. 2 trade deadline. Its one of those things where its everywhere you go, said Franson of the trade talk. If its not on the radio its on the TV. If its not on the TV its on any Twitter feed and even though I dont have [a Twitter account] sometimes its tough to stay away from. Teammates will crack jokes about the possibility. Buddies from back home in Sicamous, B.C. will fire texts with links to some rumour or another. Try as he might Franson cant really escape the swell of speculation – real or fiction – that surrounds his future. At the end of the day its not in my hands, he said. I can control how I play and try and continually prove my worth here to this team and how I want to be here. Those decisions ultimately get made by the people upstairs and theyve got a tough job. Fransons stock has risen this year. Hes emerged with increased responsibilities, is well on his way to a career-high in points and is that rare right-shot defender with size and puck-moving skills. All of that makes him a desired candidate for trade before the deadline and a candidate for a large contract on July 1 – one the Leafs may not be prepared to pay. Franson, who signed his third consecutive one-year deal worth $3.3 million last summer, wants to stay in Toronto and always has, but hell also be after fair value. And given how tightly thee organization squeezed him previously in restricted free agency theres no reason to expect him to settle for less.dddddddddddd. Torontos cap situation, additionally, complicates his future with the club beyond this season. Already looking tight with next years potential cap (projected to be between $71-73 million) and restricted free agents in Jonathan Bernier and Nazem Kadri still to be signed, the Leafs may not have room to ink Franson to the kind of hefty contract hes in line to demand (and get) in free agency. That could change if Brendan Shanahan and his front office staff opt to dramatically restructure the roster, be it now or in the summer months. One such option would be to move Dion Phaneuf – who has six years remaining with an annual cap hit of $7 million – to create the space needed to sign Franson (not to mention Bernier and Kadri), who is two years younger and just reaching his potential. That would leave a foundation on defence of Franson, Morgan Rielly, Jake Gardiner as well as future (potential) parts like Stuart Percy, Petter Granberg and Tom Nilsson. (Toronto will get a look at such a unit in the coming days with Phaneuf sidelined on a week-to-week basis, the result of a week-old fight with Milan Michalek.) The Leafs could still trade Franson before the deadline and then attempt to woo him back in free agency. But if theyre not willing to meet his price now its entirely reasonable to suspect they wont do so later. Its an odd dynamic for Franson at the moment. He wants to be a Leaf, wants to commit to the club for the long haul and yet could be lifted off the roster at any moment. When youre in that situation, he explained, where youre in the place where you want to be and you hear those trade rumours it makes it tough to swallow that pill sometimes. [But] coming through the whole process of trying to make pro and through juniors and into the NHL the second you think you understand what theyre trying to do upstairs youre wrong. I couldnt tell you how many times I thought I knew what they were going to do and they did something completely different. I try to take every rumour for what its worth and at the end of the day I dont know whats going to happen so I approach it like Im going to be here and this is where I want to be. And until that day comes or if that day comes Ill figure it out from there.
