CHICAGO -- Patrice Bergeron left the arena in an ambulance. The Bruins headed home on the brink of elimination. Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals didnt go according to plan for Boston, with Patrick Kane scoring two goals to lift the Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-1 victory and 3-2 series lead on Saturday night. The Bruins must win at home on Monday night to force a seventh game and keep their hopes alive for a second championship in three years. "Were going to fight," David Krejci said. "Were going to fight with everything we have and force Game 7." It would help if they had Bergeron. But their top forwards status is in question after he was taken to a hospital in an ambulance with an undisclosed injury. That happened after he skated gingerly off the ice after playing just two shifts in the second period, and coach Claude Julien didnt say much about it afterward. He would not reveal how it happened or any other details. He did say Bergeron "may be in the next game," but brushed aside further questions. "Guys, Im not going there, so anything else but injury here," Julien said. "Ill update you when I have an update. Theres nothing more. We can ask a million questions. I dont have any more information than probably you guys do right now." The Bruins dont have much more time, either. What they do have is a history of fighting back when theyre close to being knocked out. "Weve been down this road before," Krejci said. "In past years, weve been missing some key players and other players that (were) at the top. This is the time of the year when other guys are going to step up and you know its do-or-die for us." They were in several tough spots in 2011, only to keep rallying on the way to the championship. They opened the playoffs that year with back-to-back losses to Montreal but won that series in seven games. In the Stanley Cup finals, they trailed 2-0 and 3-2 before rallying to beat Vancouver for their sixth title. This year, they nearly got knocked off in the first round after jumping out to a 3-1 series lead against Toronto. They dropped the next two games and were down three in the third period in Game 7 before rallying to win that series, and their resolve is being tested again by the Blackhawks. "Weve been there before and done well in that situation," Julien said. "Right now, our goal is to create a Game 7. And to create a Game 7, weve got to win a Game 6. Weve been good at home, and we need to be good at home the next game. Its as simple as that. Theres no panic. Youre not going to push us away that easy." The problem is the Bruins are facing a team that dominated like no other this season, getting off to a record start on the way to finishing with the most points in the NHL. The Bruins got a solid performance in goal from Tuukka Rask, who had 29 saves coming off a 6-5 overtime loss, but Chicago dictated the tempo, particularly in the second period. That changed down the stretch, even without Bergeron on the ice. "Its kind of sad that you had to lose a guy like that to wake the team up and start battling out there," Rask said. "Youre in the finals, you play 20 minutes and thats not going to be good enough to get you a hockey game. We have to realize that. Now were going to have some new bodies, some new lines and everybody needs to put 110 per cent in and leave their hearts on the ice." The Bruins looked like they might be building some momentum when Zdeno Chara fired a bullet from the left circle past Corey Crawfords glove to cut the deficit to one early in the third. They nearly tied it with 2:20 left, only to have Crawford stop Jaromir Jagr after the puck careened around in front of the net, and the Blackhawks hung on from there. Now, the Bruins are simply trying to hang on, period. "Weve been through it before, but it doesnt help to think about what happened in the past," Rask said. "We have to live in the moment. We have to be ready on Monday, get the first win. And Game 7, if that happens, its going to be up for grabs." Geoff Cameron Jersey . The Australian is competing in his final season in Formula One and still looking for his first win this year. He will look to end Vettels run of six straight race wins on Sunday. Webber, who is fifth in the championship, earned his second pole from the past three races and 13th of his career. Tyler Boyd USA Jersey . The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it. http://www.soccerusateamonline.com/Chris-Wondolowski-Copa-America-Jersey/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Matt Hedges Jersey . The Cleveland Indians, Tampa Bay Rays, and Texas Rangers all won on Sunday meaning the Rangers will host the Rays in a play-in game on Monday. Daniel Lovitz Jersey . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. Gegard Mousasi didnt see a fast track to the UFC middleweight title, so he elected to take what he called a detour fight against Uriah Hall.It proved to be a very quick detour.Mousasi (41-6-2) defeated Hall via TKO at 4:37 of the first round on Saturday at UFC Fight Night inside SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The win avenged a TKO loss to Hall last year, which is Mousasis only loss in his past six fights.Last years bout ended in the second round, when Hall (12-8) caught Mousasi with a spinning back kick and then a flying knee. It was a shocking upset, but Mousasi stopped short of calling it a fluke on Saturday.He won [the first fight] fair and square, Mousasi said. I have to give respect to Uriah for taking the fight and giving me the rematch. We are athletes. Ive got nothing against him.With the score now evened with Hall, Mousasi turns his attention back toward the UFC title. Current champion Michael Bisping is expected to fight Yoel Romero in 2017. PPrior to the Hall fight, Mousasi told ESPN.ddddddddddddom a matchup against former champion Luke Rockhold would make sense.Whoever has the belt, Im coming, Mousasi said. What the f---, Im coming.Mousasi, 31, was patient and cautious to start the UFC Fight Night main event. He tracked down Hall with leg kicks and popped back his head with the jab. Hall, who fights out of Las Vegas, threw several spinning kicks, most of which were partially blocked. He traded leg kicks as well.With just under one minute remaining in the first round, Mousasi moved into Halls hips and took him down near the fence. It was a complete blowout from there, as Mousasi flattened out Hall and threw hard right hands to the side of the head. Hall did nothing but cover up, and referee Marc Goddard moved in quickly.It is the 23rd knockout victory of Mousasis career. ' ' '
