Every night of the Stanley Cup playoffs, TSN hockey analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan breaks down each goalies performance. Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Tuukka Rask, Boston (4) - Outstanding in first period, gave Boston chance to settle in, big saves on Datsyuk and Tatar in second period to keep it close at 2-1. Robbed Abdelkader in OT, cant stress enough how poised he is in the net, makes it look easy, and rarely out of position. Jonas Gustavsson, Detroit (4) - Surprise start, responded well, especially not busy early but showed great poise, no chance on first goal as it was tipped in front. Not overly challenged but got better and more confident as the game went on, Big saves on Soderberg and Eriksson in OT, no chance on the game winner as it was deflected twice. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles (4) - Locked in early on, with big saves on Burns and Pavelski, explosive saves on Marleau and Vlasic in the third to preserve the lead. He better managed his crease, not as erratic and out of control as we have seen last few games. Antti Niemi, San Jose (2) - Big saves on King and Richards early in game, second goal was stoppable based on a tough angle shot that he is unable to corral, had rebound issues all night long that cost him, not as sharp as he has been in past games. Semyon Varlamov, Colorado (4) - Putting a show on again, the only reason the Avs were in the game after the first period. His crease work is so fast and explosive, very tough to beat him low as well as in tight. Parise, Koivu, McCormick, Spurgeon, Brodziak, Granlund, Moulson (three times) and Pominville for starters had great chances, not much chance on both goals on a one-timer from slot and bad bounce off the back board. He is the only reason this series has been close. Darcy Kuemper, Minnesota (4) - Tough mentally to watch the goalie at the other end standing on his head and face all the shots. He was not busy whatsoever, the goal looked to hit his own man in front and go five-hole, but showed poise when needed to get the win and saved his best work for the last few minutes with big saves on Benoit and OReilly. Had a few puck handling issues that almost cost him, but kept it on the rails, solid again.

No better person to do it than Sherm and Malcolm getting it.Sherman made the play, then patted Crabtree on the backside while extending his hand for a shake, prompting the 49ers wideout to shove the brash cornerback in the face.After that 23-17 victory at CenturyLink Field, Sherman took it much further.I was making sure everybody knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver, Sherman said. And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver thats what happens.Sherman was later fined for unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting.Obviously you want to win that game, but its in the past now, Kaepernick said. We know weve been through this before. But its a different year, a different season.Its all still plenty fresh as the rivals play another meaningful game merely 10 months later, this time between a pair of 7-4 teams trying to stay alive in the playoff race with a chance to catch first-place Arizona (9-2).I remember just the feeling after we got that interception and sealing our trip to the Super Bowl, Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. All that is in the past. Theyre trying to make it to the playoffs this year, just like were trying to.Kaepernick isnt about to get involved in any kind of back and forth with the emotional defensive back. He expects Crabtree to be focused, too.Its another game for him. I dont think hes worried about anything else, Kaepernick said.Here are some things to watch for in the first of two matchups between the rivals in the next three weeks:TWO GAMES IN THREE WEEKS: Seattle coach Pete Carroll is embracing how tthe schedule worked out, with two late-season matchups against the rival Niners in a three-week span.dddddddddddd.Two teams that have captured the past three NFC West crowns need to keep winning, though Carroll insists these games are intense regardless of records or standings.Wed still be playing these games as championship games the way we look at it, Carroll said. If we were here and our record was different than it is, we would play every one of these games like its the last game we get to play all year.Thats how we do it. ... We would never look for some cushy way into the playoffs. We dont want to be a playoff team, we want to be a division champion. So were going to continue to fight for that as long as theres hope.BEAST MODE BOUNCE BACK?: Marshawn Lynch managed just 39 yards on 15 carries in a 19-3 win against Arizona on Sunday, and needs to get his body healed up in a hurry. Quarterback Russell Wilson outgained him.His troublesome sore back has hindered him this season.Lynch ran for 124 yards the previous week facing the Chiefs and 140 the game before that against the Giants.49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, for one, is counting on Lynchs best.Beast Mode, Ive heard him referred to that complimentary, Harbaugh said. Hard. Aggressive. Tough runner. Talented.BOLDINS HANDS: Anquan Boldin has 86 receptions for 1,091 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games against Seattle, including the playoffs.Seattles secondary will have its hands full.Boldin has at least five catches in each of his past six games, and had nine for 137 yards in last weeks win against Washington.BOWMAN NO GO: NaVorro Bowman certainly hoped to be back by now, in time to face Seattle again. He went down with a devastating left knee injury in the NFC title game and needed surgery.While his 21-day window to be activated is into its second week, Harbaugh said the 2013 All-Pro still wasnt ready to practice and would continue with his rehab.I wouldnt say disappointing is the word. Obviously we want to have him back on the field, but it has to be when hes ready, when hes healthy, Kaepernick said.___AP Sports Writer Tim Booth in Seattle contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
