MONTREAL - After a season-long seven-game road swing, the Canucks are happy to be finally returning home.Vancouver seemed to run out of gas at the end of a two-week road trip that culminated with a 3-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Tuesday.The Canucks have gone 3-3-1 since hitting the road at the end of November despite winning three of their first four games.Were definitely excited, said goaltender Ryan Miller, who made 21 saves in defeat versus the Canadiens. A lot of guys are ready to get home. After 14 days, its just time. Well regroup.Vancouver conceded a goal late in the third period to Montreals Tomas Plekanec, and Max Pacioretty added a third for the Canadiens in an empty net with one second on the clock to extend the Canucks winless run to three games.After starting the road trip with wins in Columbus, Washington and Pittsburgh — and a loss in Detroit — Willie Desjardins men have since been beaten by three Canadian teams. The Canucks lost 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs last Saturday, and then blew a three-goal lead versus the Ottawa Senators on Sunday, ultimately losing in overtime.If you can go .500 on the road, you have a chance of getting in the playoffs, said Desjardins. But we had a chance to do better than that. We had what we needed. I didnt think we played badly in any of the games.Added Alexandre Burrows: Well take the .500 road trip and well go back home and get better and keep improving. It would have been nice to get more, but if you looked at the two-week road trip early in the year and said (we would go) .500, I think we would have taken it. We got through it.On Tuesday, the Canucks (18-9-2) were lackluster for much of the encounter, taking just 16 shots on Carey Price. Montreal directed a total 69 pucks towards Miller (25 shots on, 26 blocked, 18 misses), while Vancouver managed just 30.The Canadiens (18-10-2) had several chances to put the game away early on, but couldnt capitalize.With a two-man advantage to start the second period, Montreals Alex Galchenyuk had a glorious opportunity to put his team ahead after a goal-mouth scramble, but he fired the puck wide. Then, Pacioretty hit the post to Millers left near the end of the same period. Minutes later, youngster Sven Andrighetto failed to make contact with a loose puck on the doorstep.We all knew we needed to do more offensively, said Brendan Gallagher, who put the Canadiens in front 1-0 in the second period. We generated a lot of chances. Every line contributed.A modified Habs team took to the ice, as coach Michel Therrien did some substantial line shuffling after Montreals loss in Dallas on Saturday.Galchenyuk played centre with Pacioretty and Gallagher on the first line, while David Desharnais played with Michael Bournival on the second. Andrighetto joined Plekanec and Jiri Sekac on the third.The new-look Canadiens finally broke the 1-1 deadlock with less than five minutes remaining in the game when Plekanec tipped a beautiful pass from Andrighetto into the roof of the net.It was a nice play by Andrighetto, said Plekanec. One of the defencemen got too close to him so he had room to make that play to me and I just tried to lift it up because I was tight to the net and got lucky.The play was made possible when a streaking Plekanec caught Vancouvers Burrows flat-footed at the blue-line. The Montreal native took full blame for the goal.Its all me, said Burrows. I missed my turn, and the guy blew by me. I had to be above him, and I missed my turn.The victory ended Montreals three-game losing skid. The Canadiens are now 15-1-1 when tied or leading after two periods.Prior to puck drop, the Canadiens honoured the late Jean Beliveau with a video tribute, moment of silence, and lengthy standing ovation. The Canadiens great passed away last Tuesday at the age of 83. Beliveaus wife, his daughter and his granddaughters were in attendance.We played one of our best games of the season, said Therrien. The guys made sure it was a special night.Shortly after the end of the ceremony, Nick Bonino came a hair from putting the Canucks ahead just one minute into the contest, but Price made a diving save to his right to keep the puck out.Montreal went scoreless in the first period for the 22nd time this season.Therriens men finally got their breakthrough when Gallaghers seemingly harmless shot from the face-off circle beat Miller glove-side into the top corner of the net at 6:56. The goal was Gallaghers third since signing a six-year contract extension with Montreal on Nov. 29.The Canucks wasted little time finding their equalizer, with Derek Dorsett beating Price exactly five minutes after the Canadiens opened the scoring. Dorsett scored Vancouvers fourth shorthanded goal of the season after taking a cross-ice feed from Jannik Hansen on an odd-man rush with Brad Richardson in the box.Vancouver has not beaten Montreal at Bell Centre in regulation time since 2007.This was the second and final meeting between the Habs and Canucks this season.Notes: Lars Eller missed the encounter with an upper-body injury.

The Ottawa team of Homan, lead Lisa Weagle, second Alison Kreviazuk and third Emma Miskew, defended the Canadian womens curling championship they won last year in Kingston, Ont. At 13-0, they are the first since Linda Moores rink in 1985 to go undefeated at the tournament. Homan took early leads all week and did it again by posting three points in the second end, although Sweeting answered with a hit for two in the third. Sweeting was a tad strong on a raise in the fourth and Homan came around the right side to hit for two. Alberta got one back in the fifth. Canada was in trouble in the sixth when a Sweeting draw left Alberta with three stones near the button, but Homan scattered them with a hit to salvage one point. Sweeting drew for two in the seventh to close the gap to one point, only to see Homan pick off two Sweeting draws to score two in the eighth. A Sweeting bid for a double takeout fell short and the Alberta skip was forced to draw for one in the ninth, handing Homan the hammer and a two-point lead going into the final end. Canada ran them out of rocks to clinch the victory. Prime Minister Stephen Harper witnessed the win from the grandstands at the Maurice Richard Arena. He was wearing a Canadian Olympic team jacket and posing for pictures with fans between ends. Harper has been to the mens Brier, but a curling official said it was his first visit to the Scotties Manitobas Chelsea Carey won the bronze medal game 7-3 over Saskatchewans Stefanie Lawton. It offered some consolation for not reaaching the final.dddddddddddd "The disappointment doesnt go away, but you want to at least salvage what you can out of it," said Carey. "I dont agree with this even being a game. I never have. "The Page (playoff) system builds in a bronze medallist. But, as much as I disagree with the game, its nice to win a game to get there." Carey made two perfect draws to score two in the eighth end for a 4-3 lead. Lawton blanked the ninth and had the hammer going into the final end, but then disaster struck. Second Sherri Singler threw a flash, third Sherry Anderson hit a guard and soon there were five Manitoba stones ringing the button. Lawton tried to sneak in an angled raise with her last shot, but it couldnt get through and Carey got a steal of three. "It was worth a try,"said Lawton. "It was there...I had to stick it right on the nose. I couldnt roll off. But it was a bit too hard. We didnt leave ourselves in a great position to score one that end. "It would have been nice to finish with a medal, but Im proud of our girls. It was a great tournament for us. Its unfortunate how it ended." The winning team splits $25,500 and gets gold rings with a diamond, while the silver medallists get $15,500 plus a gold ring with a ruby. Careys squad gets $12,000 and a gold ring with an emerald. Because of her repeat win, the Homan teams diamonds will be twice the size of last year. Lawtons side gets $7,000. All 12 teams get $4,167 for wearing title sponsor crests. The winner usually gets $40,000 from the Own The Podium program, but in Olympic years that goes to the team that qualifies for the Winter Games. ' ' '
