BOSTON -- Claude Julien wanted his Bruins to play more aggressively in the third period. The Boston coach got his wish with the help of some shaky defence by the New York Rangers. A rare rough day for goalie Henrik Lundqvist certainly helped, too. Brad Marchand and Milan Lucic scored in the final period after Johnny Boychuk broke a tie in the second, Lundqvist gave up more than four goals for the first time in 152 games, and Boston beat New York 5-2 on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series. "Some games youre going to get more goals, some maybe less," Bruins captain Zdeno Chara said, "but the important thing was we were trying to focus on playing hard until the end." New Yorks best period was the second when it outshot Boston 16-9. The Rangers then allowed two goals in the third. "We gave it to them," said Lundqvist, last years Vezina Trophy winner as the NHLs top goalie. "I thought we played great. I didnt think they had to work really hard to get a couple goals there. We just made it really tough on ourselves." Games 3 and 4 in the best-of-seven series will be played in New York on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The Rangers played their best period of the series in the second, but Brad Marchand gave Boston a 4-2 lead just 26 seconds into the third. Patrice Bergeron carried the puck in deep on the right side and passed across the crease to Marchand, who had gotten behind defenceman Dan Girardi for a tip-in. "We felt really good going into the third, and to have that type of goal go in -- its just two-on-two -- it hurts you," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "We couldnt generate anything, and then theyre just going to fill the middle and theyre just going to jam you." The Bruins went ahead to stay, 3-2, at 12:08 of the second period when Boychuk, who had one goal in the regular season, shot a 40-footer inside the near post for his third playoff goal. The shot got through several players before it sailed past Lundqvist. "It was definitely a screen," Boychuk said. "All I had to do was hit the net because there were a couple of guys in front of him." Boston never trailed as rookie Torey Krug scored the first goal before Rangers captain Ryan Callahan tied it. Gregory Campbell made it 2-1, and New York pulled even again on Rick Nashs goal, his first of the playoffs after he led the Rangers with 21 in the regular season. Now the Rangers find themselves in a familiar position, down 0-2. They lost the first two games of their first-round series in Washington, won the next two in New York before losing Game 5 on the road. But Lundqvist posted consecutive shutouts in Games 6 and 7 against the Capitals when the Rangers faced elimination. "Weve done it before," Lundqvist said, "but I think we are playing a better team now so its going to be tough to do it." Theres also the matter of his left shoulder that was hit by Daniel Pailles shot in the third period. Lundqvist rubbed it after the game and said, "Well take a look at it." Tuukka Rask was solid again for Boston, stopping 35 shots. "You have to give Tuukka a lot of credit," Julien said. "Turnovers and giveaways in the second period are not something we do too much, and it could have been disastrous." After the second period, "I told guys to play to win," he said. "I dont like our team when we are back on our heels and protecting a one-goal lead that way." Marchand gave the Bruins a two-goal advantage when he scored on a play just like the one that gave Boston a 3-2 overtime win on Thursday night. "It was very similar. I was kind of hanging back there backdoor, and Bergy made an unbelievable pass again," he said. "Its always good to get a couple-goal lead early in the third." Lucic made it 5-2 at 12:39. He skated into the New York end and gave the puck to David Krejci, who was stopped by Lundqvist, but Lucic converted the rebound. The last time Lundqvist allowed more than four goals was March 9, 2011, in a 5-2 loss to Anaheim. In the next 151 games, in the regular season and playoffs, he allowed four goals just 13 times. Tortorella remains confident despite the five goals Lundqvist gave up Sunday "I dont need to evaluate Henrik," he said. "We know what Henrik is." It takes more than consecutive losses to rattle Lundqvist. "Im confident Im going to go home and try to play a strong game in the next one," he said. After a series in which the teams were basically even throughout the first game and the first two periods of the second, the Bruins arent overconfident. "We didnt play our best," Marchand said. "They had a lot of opportunities that if they wouldve converted on, then it would be a completely different story right now. I think especially in the second period, they took it to us, but we were able to bounce back. Its definitely a very even series."

LUCIE, Fla.The International Olympic Committee has called for very detailed and very worrying allegations of Russian state-sponsored doping at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics to be investigated immediately by the World Anti-doping Agency. Hosts Russia topped the medal table in Sochi with 33 medals, 13 of them gold, but a New York Times report claims performance-enhancing drug use was rife and covered up.Dr Grigory Rodchenkov, who was director of the countrys anti-doping laboratory at the time, alleges urine samples tainted by performance-enhancing drugs were exchanged, through a wall, for clean urine collected months earlier. People are celebrating Olympic champion winners, but we are sitting crazy and replacing their urine, Dr Rodchenkov told the New York Times. Can you imagine how Olympic sport is organised?WADA on Tuesday announced it would investigate allegations of doping at Sochi made in a CBS 60 Minutes documentary last Sunday. And the IOC called for further inquiries in response to the claims in the New York Times.An IOC spokesman said: These allegations are very detailed and very worrying and we ask the World Anti-Doping Agency to investigate immediately. UK Anti-Doping officials brought in to help clean up Russias sports are being met with resistance when they try and test samples The laboratory in Sochi was fully accredited by WADA. The IOC also relied on the work of its own international experts in the laboratory - the Games group.Additionally, to safeguard the excellence of the analytical work of the laboratory, 15 to 20 international experts from 10 WADA-accredited laboratories, including several laboratory directors supervised the activities of the lab.The organisation of the laboratory including the quality control system and chain of custody documentation was compliant with all international rules and regulations.A WADA independentt observer team monitored all anti-doping activities during the Sochi Olympic Winter Games and produced a satisfactory report following the Games.ddddddddddddBased on the findings of a WADA inquiry the IOC will not hesitate to act with its usual policy of zero tolerance for doping and defending the clean athletes. President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), Sir Craig Reedie, is dismayed by new claims of Russian doping The Russian Ministry of Sport on Thursday night described the allegations as a major shock and questioned Rodchenkovs motives.A statement from the Russian Ministry of Sport read: The allegations made by the former director of the laboratories came as a major shock to us.Considering that he was fired from his position for manipulating tests it is very likely that he has other motives.If these allegations have any factual substantiation, they should be handed over immediately to relevant anti-doping organisations for a full investigation.Russias track and field athletes are currently the subject of a suspension which places their participation in the Rio Olympics in doubt.The ban was imposed following a WADA-commissioned independent report into allegations of drug use in athletics. Russia topped the medals table at Sochi UK Anti-doping was subsequently commissioned to undertake drug testing in Russia and has uncovered just two incidences of doping, according to Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko.In making the comments, Mutko omitted adverse findings for meldonium, which was banned from January 1, 2016.The Russian Ministry of Sport statement, responding to the New York Times allegations, added: We have never claimed that we do not have doping problems and we acknowledge that changes are needed and we understand that we have to regain international communitys trust for what we believe is a global issue.The only way that we can achieve this is through concrete steps proving our loyalty to clean and fair sport.We believe we have already proved Russias commitment to fight doping by inviting international experts recommended by WADA to all key positions responsible for doping control and this guarantees independence and transparency of procedures.We have nothing to hide. And we will continue this work.
