BOSTON - Joffrey Lupul is one rare Leaf with rich memories of Game 7. "I scored in overtime," he said with a laugh ahead of the all-or-nothing match with the Bruins on Monday night. It was the spring of 2008. Lupul and the Flyers were on the road for the decisive tilt in Americas capital, consecutive losses in Games 5 and 6 sending the series back to the Verizon Center. The now 29-year-old, one of only five Leafs with previous Game 7 experience, scored six minutes into overtime to catapult Philadelphia into the second round. "Thats the one great thing about Game 7s and just the playoffs in general," said Lupul, who has scored 17 goals in 45 career postseason games. "Maybe if you havent been satisfied with how things have went for you personally; I know theres some guys on the team that didnt have maybe the year that they wanted personally, statistic-wise, whatever. You go and make a big play tonight, set up a goal, score a huge goal tonight, thats all people are going to remember about your season." And so it was almost poetically, after his error in overtime of Game 4 led to the Bruins snatching a 3-1 series hold, that Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf made a "big play" on Sunday night, the 28-year-old tipping home the first goal in an emotionally charged 2-1 Game 6 victory. Phaneuf is one among many Leafs who have stepped to the forefront and improbably thrust the favoured Bruins onto the ropes in this series; James Reimer outdueled Tuukka Rask on consecutive nights, Phil Kessel iced a pair of game-winners, Clarke MacArthur scored a pair after sitting in the press box, Jake Gardiner rediscovered his rookie season form, James van Riemsdyk found another gear and Cody Franson continued a breakout campaign. "I think its good to want to be the hero for sure," said Lupul, a quiet force against the Bruins, tied for the team with three goals, second behind van Riemsdyk with four points. "Obviously youre not going to go out there and just start playing an individual game or anything, but certainly you cant be afraid of big moments. I think every player should want to be the guy that makes a difference tonight." Despite facing elimination in the past two games and responding with gutsy efforts, Leafs coach Randy Carlyle expects the nerves to be ramped up when the series decides itself at the TD Garden on Monday night. "I think on the surface you can say that," Carlyle said of most recent do-or-die scenarios, "but I think inside theres going to be nervousness with everybody involved." "Got to win a game, thats what it is," he continued. "If were going to continue we have to win a hockey game." "I think guys are a little antsy," MacArthur conceded mid-morning on Monday. "Im actually glad its a back-to-back, get right back into this thing tonight. Were happy with the win last night, but at the same time theres still that big gap, you dont want to come this far and not be able to close the deal out." Unlike the Bruins, who were stranded in Toronto overnight with mechanical issues on their team plane, the Leafs landed in their downtown Boston hotel shortly before 2 a.m. The group reconvened for meetings in the morning, eager to rest and refresh ahead of the biggest game of the year and in many cases, career. "Probably havent played a game as big as this," Jay McClement grinned, one of the more experienced Leafs. "Game 7, Stanley Cup playoffs, doesnt get much bigger than that."

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Yonder Alonso thought he cost the Oakland Athletics a game with his glove but then made up for it with his bat.Alonso hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the 10th inning to lead the As to an 8-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night, helping Oakland avoid a three-game sweep and snap a five-game losing streak.Mike Morin (2-2) got the first two outs of the 10th inning before the As scored twice. Danny Valencia and Tyler Ladendorf singled before Alonsos double to center scored Valencia with the go-ahead run. Marcus Semien followed with an RBI single.I prayed to every God there is I would get another opportunity to help my team, Alsono said.Ryan Dull pitched a scoreless 10th to get his second save.Alonsos clutch hitting came after an error in the eighth that allowed the Angels to tie it at 6-all.Hes swinging the bat really good right now, As manager Bob Melvin said. I think when something transpires like that, you cant wait to get in a position where you can go help your team and he definitely did that.Jefry Marte and Jett Bandy hit back-to-back singles off John Axford to start the eighth and pinch-hitter Mike Trout drew a walk to load the bases. Johnny Giavotella sent a grounder to first base that Alonso bobbled, allowing Giavotella to reach safely and Marte to beat the throw home and tie the game.Its a hard-hit ball from a righty. You dont see many balls as first baseman hit down there like that, Melvin said. It spun in weird and came out of his glove but (Marte) got a good break from third and just barely beat the tag.Ryan Madson (4-4) then came in for Axford and retired Yunel Escobar and Kole Calhoun.Melvin was particularly happy with how Zach Neal, Dull and Madson performed out of the bullpen, saying he hadnt planned on using Madson in a situation like that or using Dull at all after he had pitched in Wednesdays game.(Dull) always makes himself available, but I hadnt planned on using him, Melvin said. Zach Neal was huge for us today. We dont get in the position we were in later in the game if not for Zach, and then Ryan Madson coming into a situation hes not used to coming into. In a tie game like that, leaving a guy on third with less than two outs, so there were a lot of guys who contributed.

He nearly had a third home run in the fifth inning but Crisp reached into the left field stands to make the catch.It was not only Chois first multi-homer game of his major league career, but it was also his first multi-hit game.I really wanted a multi-hit game because I had never had one, Choi said through an interpreter. This was my first major league multi-hit game, so its very crazy to do it in front of my family.The As tied the score in the fourth with three runs off Ricky Nolasco.In his first start since being traded from the Minnesota Twins on Monday, Nolasco, who grew up 50 miles away from Angel Stadium in Rialto, gave up five earned runs and six hits, including the three solo home runs.After being recalled earlier in the day to make the start, Hahn gave up five earned on seven hits in four innings for Oakland.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: RHP Henderson Alvarez was checked for thoracic outlet syndrome this week but a specialist, Dr. Greg Pearl, found no evidence of the condition.
