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."

Jackie Bradley Jr. hit his first career home run and finished with three RBIs, and the Red Sox set season highs for hits and runs in a 17-5 rout of the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. "Its just baseball. It happens. Over 162 games, youre going to have opportunities to score a lot of runs and tonight we didnt stop," said Mike Carp, one of four players to homer for Boston. "We kept it going all night." Stephen Drew and Jarrod Saltalamacchia also homered for the Red Sox, who scored at least one run in every inning through the first seven and hit for the cycle as a team in the second. The Red Sox finished with 19 hits, eight of them doubles. It was an abundance of run support for Ryan Dempster (3-6), who ended a streak of five winless starts with his first victory in a month. "I like my chances when we get 17 runs," Dempster said with a slight grin. "It was just fun to watch the guys swing the bat as well as they did today. When you have breathing room like that, it is nice because you kind of fill up the zone a little bit more and try and get some quick outs." David Ortiz had three RBIs, driving in one run with a double in the first and then a pair while legging out a rare triple during Bostons six-run second. Ortiz also tagged up and scored on a sacrifice to shallow right. "Hes playing with a lot of life. Hes playing with a lot of enthusiasm and I think that is the overriding attitude that is in that group downstairs," manager John Farrell said. Carp also drove in three runs as the Red Sox ended a five-game losing streak against the Rangers. Five of Bostons six hits in the second were for extra bases and the Red Sox chased Justin Grimm (5-4) after 60 pitches. The Texas rookie allowed eight runs, all earned, in 1 2-3 innings in a forgettable Fenway Park debut. Texas used six pitchers and none could stop the Red Sox until outfielder David Murphy made his first career pitching appearance. Murphy came in from left field in the eighth and kept Boston from scoring after Daniel ;Nava hit a leadoff double.dddddddddddd. "There was too many pitches in the middle of the plate and the Red Sox didnt miss," manager Ron Washington said. "They came out tonight swinging the bats and they didnt stop it until we put Murphy out there." Jeff Baker hit a two-run homer for Texas in the fourth and Nelson Cruz hit a solo shot out to straightaway centre in the fifth -- Dempsters only mistakes against his former team. He allowed three runs on five hits over seven innings, striking out six with one walk. The Red Sox had just set a season high with 18 hits Saturday in an 11-1 win at New York and topped that when Nava doubled in the eighth Tuesday. Bostons bats were alive early again Tuesday. Jose Iglesias led off the second with a double and scored on Bradleys homer to right. Although he cleared the Texas bullpen by several rows, Bradley ran the bases the entire way and nearly caught Iglesias at home. Ortiz tripled to centre with two men on and by the time Iglesias struck out in his second at-bat of the inning, Boston led 8-0. "I had no fastball command at all. I was working behind hitters and leaving it up when it came across the plate," Grimm said. "A tough lineup like that, you cant work from behind." Carp added a solo homer in the fifth, just out of Cruzs reach as he tumbled over the right-field wall into the bullpen trying to make the catch. Cruz hit one over a much higher wall with his homer to centre in the top of the sixth. NOTES: Dempster had not won since improving to 2-2 on May 2 in a 3-1 win over Toronto. ... Carp was ejected after being called out on strikes in the eighth. ... Red Sox CF Jacoby Ellsbury missed his fourth straight game with tightness in his groin.
