BOSTON (AP) — Chris Kelly’s newest piece of jewelry is a thick, padlocked chain that he wore around his neck after scoring
the game-winning goal in Boston’s playoff opener on Thursday night.

The message: Try not to be the weak link

“He wasn’t,” Bruins goalie Tim Thomas said after Kelly’s goal on a long slapshot 1:18 into overtime gave the defending Stanley
Cup champions a 1-0 victory over the
Washington Capitals
in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

“I had a good feeling that it was going to go in, and I had a good feeling about the guy who had the puck,” said Thomas, the
reigning Vezina and Conn Smythe Trophy-winner. “I could tell he had something tonight. He’d been winging a few past me in
practice the past few days.”

Thomas stopped all 17 shots he faced for Boston to earn his sixth career playoff shutout – four of them on Boston’s 2011 championship
run. But he was matched for three periods by Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, a third-stringer making his playoff debut because
of injuries to Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth.

Holtby made 29 saves for the Capitals, and he was still perfect when Thomas turned back Marcus Johansson with a toe save that
started the Bruins on the break. Brian Rolston dropped it for Benoit Pouliot to clear the zone, and he pushed it up to Kelly.

At the top of the left playoff circle, Kelly uncorked a slapper that sailed over Holtby’s glove for the game-winner. That
earned Kelly the necklace that has taken the place of last year’s good luck charm, a tattered windbreaker that the Bruins
handed out to the star of the game during their run to the franchise’s first NHL title since 1972.

“It’s always nice to end it fairly early,” said Kelly, who thought the shot deflected off a defenseman’s stick. “Goalies are
so good now I think the days of going down the wing and beating a goalie are long gone. So I was pleasantly surprised to see
it go in.”

Washington star Alex Ovechkin consoled Holtby on the ice while the Bruins celebrated their first victory in their quest to
become the first repeat Stanley Cup champions since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98.

Game 2 is Saturday at the TD Garden before the series moves to Washington for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Thursday.

“The next game will be different,” Ovechkin said. “We know we can play against them. Holtby played a hell of a game. He was
nervous but once he made the first save he calmed down.”

Kelly, 31, had career highs with 20 goals and 39 points with a plus-minus of 33 that was tied for third in the league.

“The coaching staff has talked about how he has been the unsung hero this year,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said. “Scoring
20 goals something he has never done before – he hasn’t always had the same wingers. He has produced this year more than ever
and been so reliable defensively.”

A 21-year-old veteran of just 21 NHL games, Holtby moved into the Capitals’ lineup because of Vokoun’s groin injury and a
left leg injury to Neuvirth. He played in only seven games this season, but he started five of Washington’s final 10 games
and finished with a 2.48 goals-against average.

He helped the Capitals kill off six virtually consecutive minutes of a man advantage at the end of the first and the beginning
of the second period, along with Boston’s 4-on-3 power play later in the second.

“I got a little sloppy with some things, and those are the things I’ll need to make improvements on for the next game,” he
said. “But, mainly, I wasn’t there for the boys in overtime and I’ll definitely be better for that.”

NOTES: The last two times these teams met in the playoffs, the winner went on to reach the Stanley Cup finals. The Bruins
made it in 1990, and the Capitals in 1998. … Washington’s Dale Hunter coached his first NHL playoff game tonight. As a player,
Hunter had 42 goals and 76 assists with 729 penalty minutes and 23 fighting majors in 186 career playoff games with Quebec,
Washington and Colorado. … The NCAA champion Boston College hockey team was honored during a break in the first period.
… The Capitals, the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, did not clinch a playoff berth until the final week of the season.
They beat Boston in three of their four meetings this season, including both visits to TD Garden.

Abu Dhabi The loudest cheers and applause on the inaugural day in the two-day Abu Dhabi International Conference for Women’s Sports went to UAE women’s national football team goalkeeper Noora Al Mazroui.

After a handful of women delegates from around the world took part in the opening session on the topic "Women’s Sports: Individual will and collective encouragement", Noora’s remarks during the interactive session caught all by surprise.

"We have a lot of girls [who have begun] to play football and other sports but when they turn 14 or 15 the parents ask them to stop. This is one of the main obstacles that we face," she confessed.

The delegates agreed that parents need to be educated on the need to encourage girl children into getting involved in sport and healthy activities.

The start to IPL V hasn’t been exactly a crackling one. A tacky opening ceremony, followed by a rather insipid performance by two-time champions Chennai Super Kings was not the ideal beginning for an event which is expected to see its toughest test of popularity this year.

However, these are early days and the on-field action is expected to brighten up as the matches wear on. If one goes a little deeper than that, there are enough indications that it is time for certain question marks to be raised about the sustainability of this once pioneering product.

The cracks had started appearing even before IPL IV, thanks to the erstwhile chairman Lalit Modi’s damning tweet, but the issue at hand is now the revenue model and the sustainability of some of the franchises. One of the last members to join the party, Kochi Tuskers, have been scrapped by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over some legalities, but if some insiders are to be believed, it perhaps ‘suited’ the fledgling franchise for they were reeling under the financial strain after just one year.

Barring the few corporate heavyweights or the sponsorship-rich Kolkata Knight Riders, the other teams had been busy trying to ‘restructure’ themselves to stay in business — tying up with new sponsors or trying to offload stakes to new partners with a plan of reducing the liability. Under the circumstances, It would be interesting to see if the Indian board decides to persist with a somewhat awkward nine-team format next year also, or set up another auction to fill up the slot left vacant by Tuskers.
