OWINGS MILLS, Md.
Ryan Goins Jersey . -- Baltimore Ravens
cornerback Lardarius Webb agreed to terms on a five-year extension Thursday that
includes a $10 million signing bonus and a $5 million option bonus. Webb, who
was already signed for next year, is now locked in for the next six seasons. "It
feels amazing," he said. "I feel blessed and proud. Now I can relax and play
ball and not worry about anything. This settles my mind down." Webb intercepted
a career-high five passes in the regular season and broke a team record with
three interceptions in the playoffs. He had a career-high 68 tackles and 20 pass
deflections and emerged as one of the NFLs top young cornerbacks. "Lardarius is
an important player for the Ravens and were very happy he will be with us for a
long time," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "We have a good history
of completing second contracts for targeted players we want to keep for the long
haul." Webbs highlights last season included a 73-yard interception return for a
touchdown against the New York Jets and a 68-yard punt return for a score
against the Cleveland Browns. He had 30 punt returns for 301 yards for a 10.0
average in 2011. A former third-round draft pick from Nicholls State, Webb also
forced a fumble and had 1 1/2 sacks last season. In three NFL seasons, Webb has
164 tackles, seven interceptions, two sacks and 37 pass deflections. Now that
Webbs deal is completed, the Ravens still have two long-term deals they want to
finish: quarterback Joe Flacco and Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice, their
franchise player. The Ravens are also working on a contract extension for
restricted free agent cornerback Cary Williams.

Bruins begin their Eastern Conference title defence against an Original Six
rival, as they host Game 1 of a best-of-seven series Thursday against the
Detroit Red Wings. Catch the game on TSN and TSN GO starting at 7:30pm et/4:30pm
pt. Considering the Bruins and Red Wings played in opposite conferences for
decades, this playoff meeting is a rare treat for NHL fans. In fact, the last
time these Original Six foes met in the postseason was in 1957 when neither
clubs current coaches were born yet. Boston and Detroit have met seven times in
the playoffs with the Bruins taking four of those encounters, including the 1957
semifinal round matchup. The Red Wings, however, have won three straight in the
regular season against Boston and seven of the previous eight encounters.
Bostons only victory in the 2013-14 season series was a 4-1 home win back on
Oct. 5, while Detroit beat the Bruins as recently as April 2, when it picked up
a 3-2 regulation win in the Motor City. Still, heading into the opening round of
the playoffs the Bruins are once again the team to beat in the Eastern
Conference and perhaps the entire NHL. Boston, which in 2011 won its first
Stanley Cup since the days of Bobby Orr, is not only the defending East
champions, but it also enters this postseason as winners of the 2013-14
Presidents Trophy. The clubs 117 points were the most gained by the franchise
since 1971-72 (119 pts) and Boston finished as the top team in the regular
season for the first time since 1989-90. Despite heading into the postseason
with a ton of confidence, the Bruins know they cant afford to look past their
first-round opponent. Boston made it to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second
time in three seasons last spring, but before it fell in six games to the
Chicago Blackhawks, the Bruins nearly lost in the first round to Toronto. The
Bruins blew a 3-1 series lead against the Maple Leafs and needed to overcome a
4-1 third-period deficit in Game 7 to get past Toronto. It marked fourth
straight Boston was a fourth seed in last springs matchup with Toronto, but the
Bs shouldnt expect their No. 1 standing in the East to instill fear in the
Detroit Red Wings this time around. It marked the third straight spring Boston
went seven games in the first round. The Bruins beat Montreal four games to
three in 2011 en route to its Stanley Cup title, but lost in seven the following
season against Washington. "I dont know, it just seems to be the biggest battle
for us and the hardest one to get through," Bruins forward Milan Lucic said of
his clubs tendency to play long opening-round series. "I dont think its going to
be any different heading into this series. So weve got to be prepared to bring
our best because you talk about the last three years, you know the other team
hasnt taken us lightly at all and theyve given us their best." Boston is known
best as a big, physical team that is really tough to score against, but the club
made considerable strides in the offensive end in 2013-14. The Bruins averaged
just 2.62 goals per game during the lockout- shortened season before upping that
scoring rate to 2.96 gpg in the 2013 playoffs. This season, Boston is third in
the NHL with 3.15 gpg through 82 games and hopes to maintain that goal-scoring
clip in the upcoming playoffs. Six Boston forwards finished the season with over
50 points this season. Leading the way on offense were David Krejci and
Patrice Bergeron, the clubs top two centermen. Krejci dished out a club-best 50
assists to help him pace the Bs with 69 points, while Bergeron had 62 points and
tied winger Jarome Iginla for the club lead with 30 goals. While Bostons
forwards contribute to their clubs overall stinginess on defense, immense
blueliner Zdeno Chara and steady goaltender Tuukka Rask get most of the credit.
Rask is coming off a Vezina-caliber season, going 36-15-6 with a 2.04 goals
against average and .930 save percentage. The 27-year-old Finn is looking to
follow up his award-worthy campaign with another strong postseason. Rask was the
anchor for Bostons run to the Cup Finals last spring, recording a 1.88 GAA and
.940 save percentage in 22 playoff games. The 6-foot-9 Chara is a unique talent
who combines size and skill to create havoc at both ends of the ice. The 2008-09
Norris Trophy winneer has a booming slap shot and recorded 17 goals and 40
points over 77 games this season and Bostons captain has racked up 54 points (13
goals, 41 assists) over 129 career playoff games.
George Brett Royals Jersey. The Red Wings may
have moved from the Western Conference to the East prior to the 2013-14
campaign, but the end result was the same as Detroit qualified for the playoffs
for a 23rd straight season. On paper, Detroit doesnt match up well with the
mighty Bruins but the club doesnt figure to be an easy out so long as Mike
Babcock is behind the bench. Babcock has been to the Cup Finals three times as a
coach, winning it with Detroit in 2008, and also has led Team Canada to Olympic
gold medals at the last two Winter Games. Last spring, the coach helped the
seventh-seeded Red Wings eliminate the Pacific Division champion Anaheim Ducks
in the first round. He also had the eventual Stanley Cup champion Chicago
Blackhawks on the ropes in Round 2, but the Hawks won three straight to oust
Detroit in seven games. This season, Babcock guided his club to the playoffs
despite the club dealing with considerable injury problems all along the way.
Detroit enters the playoffs reasonably healthy compared to other points of the
season, but the club will begin the first round without captain
Henrik Zetterberg (back surgery), fellow forwards Dan Cleary (sprained knee)
Stephen Weiss (sports hernia surgery) and defenseman Jonathan Ericsson (finger
surgery). Star forward Pavel Datsyuk also was limited to only 45 games this
season, but he returned to the lineup earlier this month and is ready to go for
Round 1. The Russian has amassed 103 points (36g, 67a) over 140 career playoff
games. Faced with injuries to numerous key veterans, young forwards
Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar stepped up for the Red Wings in a big way down
the stretch. That was particularly true of the 24-year-old Nyquist, who led
Detroit with 28 goals this season in just 57 games. Nyquist has two goals and
three assists over 18 career playoff games, but he could be ready for a breakout
postseason after showing Babcock and the hockey world what he can do with
increased playing time. Tatar, 23, added 19 goals and 20 assists in 73 games for
the Red Wings this season. However, the young Slovakian winger has never skated
in an NHL playoff game. As a whole, Detroits offense ranked 16th in the league
this season with just 2.65 gpg. Niklas Kronwall is the clear No. 1 defenseman
for Detroit in front of No. 1 goaltender Jimmy Howard. Kronwall has done a
superb job of replacing fellow Swede Nicklas Lidstrom in that role. Lidstrom, of
course, retired following the 2011-12 season, leaving seven Norris Trophy wins
and a Hall of Fame legacy behind him. Kronwall led Detroit in average ice time
with 24 minutes, 18 seconds of action a game. His 49 points (8g, 41a) more than
doubled the offensive output of the clubs next- best defenseman Danny DeKeyser,
who had 23 points on four goals and 19 assists. Howard, meanwhile, is coming off
a mediocre regular season that saw him go 21-19-11 with a 2.66 GAA and .910 save
percentage. The 30-year-old American had posted a 2.13 GAA in each of the
previous two seasons and his save percentage was .920 or better in both
campaigns. Over 42 career playoff games, Howard has compiled a 2.57 GAA and .918
save percentage. The injured Zetterberg led the Red Wings with three goals
during the season series, while Tatar had two goals and two assists. Nyquist
added two goals and a helper, while Howard was 1-1-0 with a 3.00 GAA. Rask
struggled to a 1-3-0 record and 3.29 GAA in four games versus Detroit, while no
Boston player had more than one goal in the series. Reilly Smith led the Bruins
with four points -- all assists -- in four games. Boston, which also will host
Detroit in Game 2 on Sunday, was an impressive 31-7-3 as the home team this
season. The Red Wings were 21-15-5 on the road. Projected Bruins Lines Lucic -
