CHICAGO -- Boston coach Claude Julien isnt worried because the Bruins have been here before. Even after a triple-overtime loss to Chicago in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final that would demoralize the most veteran of groups, the Bruins are calm and confident. "Weve been through a lot," Julien said. "You can chalk that down to experience of having been through a lot, the ups and downs. So we dont get rattled anymore. We know what we can do." Julien recalled trailing the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 in the 2011 final before coming back to win in seven. He also pointed out that the Bruins lost the first two games to the Montreal Canadiens at home in the first round two years ago. "I think youve had experience in the past when weve been down two games and bounced back," centre Chris Kelly said. "Being here before and knowing what to expect is definitely beneficial." So climbing out of a hole is nothing new for Boston, which still has most of its team intact but might have to play Game 2 on Saturday without right-winger Nathan Horton, who left Wednesday night with an apparent upper-body injury. With or without Horton, the Bruins have plenty of leaders who know the drill. "Vancouver it was everybodys kind first time around, right?" defenceman Andrew Ference said. "So you lose those couple games (its) maybe a heavier feeling than it is this morning amongst the group because guys are probably a little bit better at turning the page." The challenge in turning the page this time comes from the way the Bruins lost Game 1 -- in triple overtime on a double deflection that goaltender Tuukka Rask could do little to stop. Julien brushed that off along with several bounces that could have won the game, calling them "hockey breaks." The Blackhawks made their breaks in Game 1 and present a formidable challenge for the Bruins to come back from. A day off for the teams Thursday should help players physically, but bouncing back mentally could be a tougher task for Boston. That started with just how long a night Wednesday was as one period bled into the next and the minutes piled up. "Youre creeping up on almost playing two full games there," defenceman Adam McQuaid said. "No question that physically and mentally it was draining." Even taking away surrendering a two-goal lead in the third, the Bruins had ample chances to win Game 1 in overtime. Ference noticed frustration from teammates who couldnt finish on some golden opportunities. But theres two ways of looking at that. Either the Bruins gave away a victory or they hung with the Blackhawks on the road. Its an easy approach for Julien, whose Cup-winning experience contributes to his calm demeanour and that of his team. "This is a game we all know, hope we should all know, that could have gone either way," he said. "Both teams had great chances. We could be sitting here today up 1-0 as much as we are down 1-0." The Blackhawks took the important first game of the series thanks to a late comeback and then Andrew Shaws game-winning goal 12:08 into the third overtime. Getting the positive result drastically altered the mood for Chicago. "Its one of those games being down 3-1, you come back to tie it 3-3, you feel like something was left on the table if you didnt come back and win it," right-winger Patrick Kane said. "The game went a long time. Its definitely a good feeling winning in the third overtime when it does go that long." It could be a crushing feeling to lose a game that went on that long, but it didnt take long afterward for the Bruins to appreciate the kind of epic hockey showcase they were a part of in the fifth-longest Stanley Cup final game in history. "When you watch the video afterwards, you see the excitement, the chances, everything else," Julien said. "I dont think there should be any disappointment in what happened last night except for us not getting the win that we wanted." But that can be a substantial mental hurdle to overcome. Instead, with an extra day to rest, Bostons players arent stressing it. Kelly, for one, had no trouble sleeping after the triple-overtime loss. "Its one game," he said. "You play lots of hockey games. Its easy to park it and think ahead to the next one." That kind of poise is rare. But it also has not been common lately to have a recent Stanley Cup champion back in the final, and this is the time for the Bruins to cash in on their wealth of experience. "I think weve built some character and some resilience over the past few years with what weve been through," centre Patrice Bergeron said. "Its something that brought us here, so weve got to keep that going and make sure were ready for Game 2." Running Shoes Clearance Online .

Happ will make his second start since returning from injury today as the Toronto Blue Jays try to salvage a split of their four-game series with the Oakland Athletics in a matinee game. The Blue Jays shook up their rotation ahead of this finale, pushing scheduled starter Josh Johnson back to Wednesday in part because of some tightness in his right forearm that he experienced in his last start, and moving Happ up. The 29-year-old will make his second start following a three-month absence due to a skull fracture sustained when he was hit by a line drive against Tampa Bay on May 7. Though his return to the hill last Wednesday was a great sight, the lefty experienced some issues on the mound in a no-decision. Despite getting staked to an early lead, Happ did not factor into a 9-7 loss as he allowed seven runs -- six earned -- on seven hits and three walks over four-plus innings. "Its obviously not how I wanted it to go," Happ said. "We should have won that game. We scored seven runs early. I wasnt able to keep us holding onto that." Happ is still on normal rest due to an off day last Thursday and is 2-2 with a 5.84 ERA in eight starts this season. He will make his first career start versus Oakland, having faced them twice before in relief. Oakland will send Dan Straily to the hill to chase his first win in more than a month. Following a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 9, Straily was sent back to Triple-A Sacramento before returning to the As at the end of the month. He has lost all four starts since his return, falling to 6-6 with a 4.41 earned run average in 18 starts this year with the Athletics. Though the right-hander has been charged with two eaarned runs or less in three of those four games, he has not pitched past the fifth inning in three straight.dddddddddddd Straily logged 4 2/3 innings in a 5-0 setback to Toronto on July 30, charged with five runs -- two earned -- and giving up a pair of homers. Straily was then lifted after four innings and 75 pitches in Tuesdays 3-1 setback at Cincinnati. He yielded two runs on six hits and a walk. The 24-year-old is 0-1 with a 2.53 ERA in two career meetings with the Blue Jays. On Sunday, Alberto Callaspo hit a go-ahead two-run double during a three-run eighth inning, with his drive to left tipping off the glove of Emilio Bonifacio. Chris Young added a pinch-hit RBI single in the frame. "They just ended up getting a lucky one there with two outs," Jays infielder Brett Lawrie said in reference to Callaspos hit. "That kind of stung us a little bit." Brandon Moss slugged a two-run homer for the Athletics, who remained a game behind the Texas Rangers for first place in the AL West.

before finishing things off. That gave manager Bob Melvin the 700th win of his career. "Never a dull moment," Melvin deadpanned. "Excruciating. We found a way to win but it wasnt pretty." Melvin sent Young up to pinch-hit for Coco Crisp, who has a nagging left wrist injury and could rest today. Catcher Derek Norris is also likely to get a break as he deals with back spasms. Jose Reyes and Maicer Izturis drove in a run each for the Blue Jays, who dropped their third game in four. Toronto has won five of the last eight meetings going back to 2012.
