BOSTON – Crumpled in the blue paint of the crease, head down for a few moments, season dramatically over, James Reimer could hardly stomach what had just occurred. In a matter of stunning minutes, he and the Leafs went from sure victory to disastrous defeat, Patrice Bergeron burying the dagger deep in overtime of game 7. "Theres no way to describe it I dont think," said Reimer, visibly shattered from all that had just transpired. "Its just an empty feeling. Its over and theres nothing you can do about it." The series of events were almost too unbelievable to comprehend, a disintegration that slowly manifest before the hammer dropped thunderously in the final two minutes of regulation and again for good in overtime. "Its extremely, extremely tough to put into words," a dejected Dion Phaneuf said. "We had a team down and out and we just let them take over the game and climb out of a hole that they never shouldve came back from. "Its just extremely disappointing any time a year comes to an end and this one its probably the toughest loss Ive ever had in pro hockey." On the verge of embarrassing the Bruins on home ice, the Leafs led comfortably by a 4-1 margin with fewer than 11 minutes to go, Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri dealing early in the third frame to seemingly hammer the game out of reach. A snipe from Nathan Horton appeared a mild drop in the bucket, cutting the Toronto lead to two, but it proved just the beginning of an incredible unraveling. Drifting back into a dangerous prevent-like defence with an all but certain lead, the Leafs would manage just one shot after Hortons goal, constantly in retreat amid an unlikely Bruins comeback. "Going into the third we wanted to keep our foot on the gas and not sit back," Cody Franson explained, his two-goal outing just a footnote after the collapse. "We knew going into the third that when we try and sit back and hold leads we give up way too much. We wanted to do the opposite of that and the first 10 minutes we did. We kept the pressure on them, we got a few goals and things looked good for a minute there." Despite their increasing futility amid the Boston pushback, the TD Garden crowd suddenly alive with fervor, the Leafs still remained in control of their fate, up a pair when Tuukka Rask vacated his net with two minutes and four seconds left in regulation. It took 42 seconds before the puck was in the back of the net, Milan Lucic pouncing on a rebound to cut a increasingly nervous Toronto lead to one. "You try to keep your composure as best you can and try and stop the bleeding," Franson said. Ultimately, they could not. Providing a mountain of a screen at six feet and nine inches, Zdeno Chara stood atop the crease in the waning final minute of the third frame, a wall in front of Reimer and consequently all the cover Bergeron would need to slip a point shot through, the score knotted improbably at four. Overtime loomed, the catastrophe of what had just transpired difficult to shake. "We were trying to be as positive as possible," Kadri recalled of the strategy session after regulation. "Obviously it was a bit of a heartbreaker how they came back and scored three goals." It took six minutes and five seconds in the extra frame before Bergeron delivered the final knockout punch, an emotionally stunned group still trying to piece together the damage in the moments after. "One minute you think youre going to win the game, youre up 4-1 and then 20 minutes its all over," Jake Gardiner chimed softly. "I dont know what happened to us," added Kessel. "4-1, you cant lose that game." An unlikely candidate to even make the postseason when the year began, the Leafs ultimately took a very real step in the right direction with their pesky performance against the Bruins, victories in games 5 and 6 thrusting their favoured opponent onto the ropes. Their speed, belief and enthusiasm, not to mention the bushels of postseason experience was of definite consequence. But in the stinging aftermath of an epic undoing optimism for some was just too difficult to grasp. "How can you look at the positives after a game like that," a stung Kessel pondered. Navigating through his haunting thoughts, Reimer finally summed up the heartbreak he was feeling, the emptiness he felt when Bergeron ended the Maple Leafs season. "When you go through the season and a goal goes in or somebody scores in overtime, shootout, whatever deciding goal it is, it sucks but youll get em next time," he said. "A case like tonight there is no next time, its just next year." Keith Tkachuk Coyotes Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

Derek Stepan Jersey .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. SALT LAKE CITY -- Justin Herbert hit Darren Carrington for a 17-yard touchdown pass with two seconds remaining to give Oregon a 30-28 upset victory over No. 12 Utah on Saturday, putting the Utes hopes of a Pac-12 championship in jeopardy.Herbert led the Ducks (4-7, 2-6 Pac-12), who have struggled all season and suffered several lopsided losses, on a 10-play, 75-yard drive in just over two minutes, capping it with the TD pass to Carrington. Carrington was initially called out of bounds but that call was reversed after a replay showed he got a foot down in bounds.Oh man! Carrington said. Big-time players make big-time plays and it was definitely time to make a big-time play so I just had to come through in the clutch for my boys. I just turned and saw the ball in the air and went and got it. I had no idea the ball was coming until it was up in the air.The Utes (8-3, 5-3, No. 11 AP) blitzed on the final play and left man-to-man coverage on the outside.Disappointing to say the least, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. (Oregon) made the plays when they had to be made. We were not able to make those plays. Second half, couldnt get a stop on defense when we needed to. Couldnt put a dagger in their heart when we could have on offense.The Utes had taken a 28-24 lead with 2:18 remaining off a Troy Williams 30-yard touchdown pass but the Ducks then began their comeback drive.Ive got some of the best receivers in the country out there, so I trust them to make catches like that, said Herbert, who finished the game with 324 yards passing and three TDs. He also scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter.Royce Freeman led the Ducks ground game with 129 yards. He also scored on a 1-yard pass from Herbert early in the fourth.Carrington had a quiet day until the game-winning catch, finishing with 37 yards on five receptions.Joe Williams rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown for Utah. The normally stout Utes defense gave up 575 yards of offense to Oreggon.ddddddddddddThat was a long, long, long, long review, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said about the final play. There would have been a lot of questions if that wasnt ruled a touchdown. Our guys drove on an excellent defense in the fourth quarter in their stadium, down, but stared it right the face.THE TAKEAWAYOREGON: The Ducks are still simply running out the clock. Even with a win against Oregon State in the season finale, Oregon would fall shy of the six normally needed to be bowl eligible. This would be the first time since 2004 that Oregon missed a bowl game.UTAH: The Utes have lost control of their own destiny. They now need Colorado to lose to Washington State to remain in the hunt to win the Pac-12 South Division for the first time since joining the league in 2011. Utah would then need to beat Colorado in the regular-season finale to earn a berth in the Pac-12 Championship game.SACK KINGUtah defensive end Hunter Dimick set the schools career sack record in the first quarter with a sack of Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert. He wasnt done there, picking up sack No. 2 later on the same drive. He finished the day with two sacks after entering the day tied for the nation high with 12. The record is now set at 29 and Dimick has 14 this season.EJECTEDOregon starting receiver Charles Nelson was ejected midway through the second quarter after being called for targeting. Nelson peeled back for a block on Justin Thomas as Herbert ran around the right end. Nelsons shoulder pads mostly hit Thomas in the chest, but there was some contact between his helmet and Thomas facemask. Nelson entered the game with a team-high 47 receptions and 501 receiving yards.UP NEXTOREGON: The Ducks wrap up the season against in-state rival Oregon State in the Civil War.UTAH: The Utes travel to face No. 10 Colorado next Saturday.
