CALGARY -- The defending Olympic womens bobsled champions are back in the same sled once again. Michael Koenen Buccaneers Jersey . Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse will reunite at this weekends season-opening World Cup at Canada Olympic Park as they begin their buildup to the Winter Games in Sochi. Humphries won a world title last year and has reached the podium at 13 straight events. Moyse, who competed in track cycling and rugby while taking a break from bobsled, has returned in top form after undergoing hip surgery a year ago. The veteran brakeman from Summerside, P.E.I., has set personal-best start times since coming back and won a push challenge event last weekend. She also set a new start record during selection races in Whistler, B.C.. "That just made me excited about what I can possibly contribute and what I can give back to this team this year," Moyse said in a recent interview. "Because of that excitement and being named to the team as Canada 1 and being put into Kaillies sled, I think that excitement is just transcending. "Kaillie and I are both really excited about what we can do and what we can possibly experience this year." Humphries and Moyse first started sliding together in January 2009 and won Olympic gold a year later. Off and on, they have spent about 2 1/2 years together as a duo. Humphries, from Calgary, won the overall World Cup title last season with Chelsea Valois of Zenon Park, Sask. Valois will team with Edmontons Jenny Ciochetti in the Canada 2 sled for the season opener. Moyse suffered a serious ankle injury at the 2010 Rugby World Cup. She later took up track cycling before deciding about a year and a half ago to concentrate on both bobsled and rugby. She underwent hip surgery last fall and now feels as strong as ever entering the Olympic season. Her performance at testing made the decision to return to the Canada 1 sled with Humphries an easy one. "Based on the results, it was a no-brainer in terms of teaming us up together," Moyse said. There will be some changes in the mens sleds as well. Pilot Chris Spring of Calgary will team with Jesse Lumsden of Burlington, Ont., in the two-man and four-man sleds. Lumsden won the World Cup title with pilot Lyndon Rush of Humboldt, Sask., last season. Spring and Lumsden will be joined by Ottawas Cody Sorensen and Ben Coakwell of Saskatoon in the four-man sled. Rush will team with Calgary brakeman Lascelles Brown in the two-man and four-man sleds. David Bissett and Neville Wright, both of Edmonton, will join them in the four-man. The other Canadian sled will feature Justin Kripps of Summerland, B.C., who will drive Torontos Tim Randall, James MacNaughton of Newmarket, Ont., and Graeme Rinholm of Medicine Hat, Alta. The Canadian skeleton team is also looking strong this season. Calgarys Sarah Reid, who won bronze at the 2013 world championship, leads the womens side this week. She will be joined by Cassie Hawrysh of Brandon, Man., and Calgarys Robynne Thompson. The mens lineup for the season opener includes Eric Neilson of Kelowna, B.C., and Calgary-based racers John Fairbairn and Dave Greszczyszyn. "We have a really strong team," Neilson said. "We came out in selections, thats always the most stressful part. So the team is ready to go." Mellisa Hollingsworth of Eckville, Alta., and 2010 Olympic champion Jon Montgomery of Russell, Man., will open the season on the Intercontinental Cup circuit. Athletes can qualify for Sochi while competing on that circuit or at the World Cup level. Some 350 skeleton and bobsled competitors from 30 countries are expected to participate this week, including World Cup four-man champ Alexsandr Zubkov of Russia and World Cup skeleton champions Martins Dukurs of Latvia and Marion Thees of Germany. Competition kicks off Friday afternoon with the skeleton races. The two-man bobsled follows in the evening. On Saturday, the four-man bobsled is set for the morning with the womens bobsled scheduled for the afternoon. Nate Washington Jersey . The Spurs announced the move Thursday without disclosing terms.

Not even close. And for the Philadelphia Flyers, no chance to return to the Stanley Cup finals. Milan Lucic scored his first two goals of the playoffs, Johnny Boychuk got the go-ahead score, and the Bruins completed a sweep of the Eastern Conference semifinal series with a 5-1 win over the Flyers on Friday night. In this same round against the same team last May, the Bruins became just the third NHL team to lose a series after winning the first three games. Boston even held a 3-0 lead at home in Game 7 before the Flyers rallied again for a 4-3 victory. "I think we learned a lot from last year, that experience, and I think it made us a more determined hockey club," Lucic said. "We can definitely put everything behind us with what happened last year. So its a real good feeling." The Flyers went on to the finals where they lost in six games, the clincher for the Chicago Blackhawks coming on an overtime goal. This year, the Bruins outscored Philadelphia 20-7 in the one-sided series. "Its disappointing whenever you end the season on a loss," Philadelphia captain Mike Richards said. "Its a slippery slope when you stop playing your brand of hockey." When it was over -- after empty-net goals by Brad Marchand and Daniel Paille boosted the volume on the fans cheers -- Boychuk embraced goalie Tim Thomas in front of the Bruins net. "The puck came to me and it was kind of rolling and I just tried to put it on net and it went in," said Boychuk, who gave Boston a 2-1 lead on a 50-foot slap shot at 2:42 of the third period. "Thats about it." Nothing special. Except that the win put the Bruins in the conference finals for the first time since 1992. "Regardless of the two goals, this win is a huge win for our hockey club and our organization," Lucic said. Lucic scored a power-play goal at 12:02 of the first period before Kris Versteeg lifted Philadelphia into a 1-1 tie at 13:22 of the second. After Boychuks goal, Lucic connected again at 15:03. "Im not going to say the better team won, but the team that was playing better is moving on," Flyers defenceman Sean ODonnell said. The Bruins will have home-ice advantage against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Philadelphia was swept 4-0 for the first time since losing to Detroit in the 1997 Stanley Cup finals. Boston has won eight of nine games and is aiming for its first Stanley Cup title since 1972. Tampa Bay won it all in 2004. The Bruins began rolling after losing the first two games of their first-round series at home to Montreal. They won the next three games, lost Game 6, and advanced with an overtime win in Boston in Game 7. Their offence took off against the Flyers. The Bruins won the opener in Philadelphia 7-3, then took the second game 3-2 in overtime before returning home for a 5-1 win on Wednnesday night. Bradley Fletcher Jersey. "They took it to us right from the start," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "My first reaction is that we got beat by a better team in this series. They deserve to be moving on." Now, with Vezina Trophy finalist Thomas performing brilliantly, the Bruins have reached the round that eluded them last year. But nine of the 20 players who suited up for them on Friday, including Thomas, didnt play in the four losses to Philadelphia in 2010. "You hear all the talk about what happened last year and you have to ignore it to be able to do what we just did," Thomas said. "Im glad that its done with because the longer that series would have went, the more talk about last year." Boychuks game-winner was his second goal of the playoffs. The defenceman got the puck after a faceoff in the left circle and quickly fired a hard shot from just in front of the right point to the near side that Sergei Bobrovsky couldnt grab with his glove. Bobrovsky, who started Game 1 of the series, got the start again with the season on the line. He replaced Brian Boucher, who had been ineffective in the other losses. Bobrovsky "gave us an opportunity to win the game," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "It was 1-1 in the third period." The Bruins had taken their 1-0 lead on the goal by Lucic, who scored a team-high 30 goals in the regular season. David Krejci sent a pass from the left circle to Nathan Horton at the left corner of the crease. Horton quickly fed Lucic on the other edge of the crease for an easy goal, his first score of the playoffs, into the open side of the net. It was Bostons second goal in three power plays after going scoreless on its first 31 in the post-season. The Flyers tied it when Versteeg went in alone and beat Thomas after Richards stole a pass by Marchand. Boston had been the aggressor with an 18-9 advantage in shots midway through the second period. But Versteegs goal seemed to energize Philadelphia, although the Flyers had a tough time capitalizing after committing two penalties in the last 3:05 of the period. The Bruins were putting pressure on the Flyers when Marchand tried to pass across the ice from near the right point. Instead, he put the puck right on Richards stick. Richards skated slightly ahead of Boston defenceman Dennis Seidenberg before giving the puck to Versteeg, who scored his first of the playoffs. Notes: Patrice Bergeron, one of Bostons top players in these playoffs, didnt return after being hit by Claude Giroux just before Boychuks goal. Bruins coach Claude Julien didnt have an update on his condition. ... Philadelphia was without D Chris Pronger for the third straight game because of a hand injury. ... Boston D Adam McQuaid missed his second consecutive game with a sprained neck after crashing into the boards headfirst in Game 2. ' ' '
