BOSTON -- The traditional post-series handshake between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens wasnt the symbol of sportsmanship the NHL might be looking for.cheapjerseyswholesalestore.us . Bruins forward Milan Lucic said something to anger Montreals Dale Weise and Alexei Emelin after the Canadiens beat the Bruins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Although no one involved in the exchange would reveal exactly Lucic said, according to reports he threatened to retaliate against them next season. And he isnt sorry for saying it. "Whats said on the ice stays on the ice, and unfortunately that code is broken," Lucic told reporters at the TD Garden on Friday. "Its unfortunate that it blows up to what it is now. Im not the first guy to do it; Im not the last guy to do it. Im not sorry that I did it. Im a guy that plays on emotion, and this is a game of emotions. Sometimes you make decisions out of emotion that might not be the best ones. Thats what it is." The Bruins finished the regular season with the NHLs best record, but their quest for a third trip to the Stanley Cup finals in four seasons ended on Wednesday night with a 3-1 loss to Montreal. After the game, the teams went through what appeared to be the standard postgame handshake line. But Lucics comments still rankled in Montreals locker room afterward, when Weise said, "(The Bruins) had couple guys -- sorry, just one -- that couldnt put it behind them and be a good loser. Milan Lucic had a few things to say to a couple guys." The Canadiens have since moved on to the conference finals against the New York Rangers. The Bruins spent Friday emptying their lockers, and Lucic wasnt backing down a bit. "I didnt make the NHL because I accepted losing, or I accepted failure, and I think thats whats gotten me to this point and made me the player that I am," he said. "Like I said, Im not the first guy to do it, and Im sure I wont be the last." Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli also had trouble accepting the loss, saying he still believes he has a roster that can add a championship to its 2011 Stanley Cup title. There wont be a major roster overhaul this summer, he said. "This is a very good team," he said. "Theres some tweaks here and there but its a very good team; strong down the middle, strong in the nets, good character, good core." Reciting the teams accomplishments-- Presidents Trophy, five-game victory over the Detroit Red Wings, and a close series against Montreal -- Chiarelli said he would try not to overreact to the disappointing end to the season. "Its emotional, and its my job to be unemotional about it," he said. "Were not going to make too many changes to this team. But there will be some changes." Lucic, who is signed through the 2015-16 season, will remain, along with centres Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci and defencemen Zdeno Chara, Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug. Jarome Iginla and Shawn Thornton are the teams top unrestricted free agents. "If you look at the guys, most of the guys are still going to be with us next year," Bergeron said. "And I think we have a great group of guys, a great core and we have the experience that you need in playoffs. And I think this year hopefully makes us eager to do it next year." cheapjerseyswholesalestore . A lot of times its because percentages (shooting, save, on-ice shooting) are finding their way back to more normal levels, but sometimes players get opportunities that just werent easy to see before the season started. www.cheapjerseyswholesalestore.us . -- The offence was stagnant, Alex Smith was ineffective and the offensive line was completely overmatched.Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced Monday the signing of infielder Casey Haerther to a contract for the 2014 season. Haerther, 26, hit .307 with 10 home runs and a team-leading 66 RBI in 97 games with the Goldeyes last season. His 32 extra base hits were third on the team. Defensively, he had a .995 fielding percentage at first base. "He had a great season for us last year," Forney said. "Hes a very productive offensive player, but one of the things I like best about Casey is that he has a really good glove at first base. He has sure hands, good feet around the bag annd makes the routine play with consistency.http://www.cheapjerseyswholesalestore.us/. He also makes the other infielders better by doing a really good job of digging balls out of the dirt. A fifth round selection by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2009 out of UCLA, Haerther played four seasons in the Angels system, including all of the 2012 campaign at Class AA Arkansas of the Texas League. Internationally, Haerther suited up for Israel at the 2012 World Baseball Classic qualifying tournament. The Goldeyes now have 11 players signed for the 2014 season, including six pitchers and five position players. ' ' '
