Bos- ton's fifth goal by David Krejci went into an empty net. Joe Thornton also scored for San Jose against his former team. The Sharks did have a good opportunity to even things up when Bruins cen- ter Patrice Bergeron took a four-minute high-sticking penalty with just 4:09 left in the game. But that tying goal eluded them even af- ter Niemi was pulled with 1:07 left. The teams traded power-play goals in the first period, Marchand beating Niemi on the glove side at 13:57, then Couture getting the blade of his stick on a shot by Patrick Marleau at 16:28. The Sharks fell behind at 6:54 of the second period on Boston's second power- play goal. The Bruins only needed eight seconds after Andrew Desjardins went to the penalty box for trip- ping before Krug scored on a shot from the blue line. But San Jose bounced back on a pair of even strength goals 37 seconds apart by Couture and Thornton late in the sec- ond period to take a 3-2 lead going into the third. In the third period, the Sharks made just enough mistakes for the Bruins to win. San Jose was scrambling in its own end when rookie defenseman Griffiths pinched in to pounce on a loose puck for his first NHL goal at 4:50. "That third goal, we knocked it down with a high stick and everybody lost track of it," coach Todd McLellan said. "Sometimes that happens." And the Bruins took a 4-3 lead at 10:42 when Justin Braun's attempt to wrap the puck around the end boards to Marc-Ed- ouard Vlasic wound up on the stick of Bruins forward Daniel Paille, who threw it to the front of the net where Campbell put it be- hind Niemi. "The winner was a d-to- d and we lost our stick in the corner and that didn't help us one bit," McLellan said. "The fourth one was probably more difficult to swallow because we had a chance to come out and at least defend if we hadn't lost our stick." The loss dropped the Sharks to 4-2-1 on the sea- son and 2-2-1 on its five- game East Coast trek. McLellan, who tinkered with all four of his lines after that poor showing in New York, tried to be real- istic in his assessment and not dwell on the final two games. "We were .500 on the road at the beginning of the season without a lot of practice time," he said. "It's not an easy trip. We played in some tough buildings. I'm go- ing to sound like we're satisfied saying that, but we're not. Would we have liked to come home 3-1-1? Yeah, but we didn't and now we have to make some hay at home for a couple games. Sharks FROM PAGE 1 see significant improve- ment to appease a fan base that is slowly getting tired of hearing promises of a better future. "Clearly," Ranadive said, "we have to do a lot better than we did last year." Here are some things to watch with the Kings this season: COUSINS' DEVELOPMENT Any success will start with Cousins, the often unstoppable, often un- predictable man in the middle. The 25-year-old center is coming off his best season, averaging career-bests of 22.7 points and 11.7 rebounds while shooting a career-high 49.6 percent. But Cousins also has led the league in technical fouls the past two seasons and earned several fines and suspen- sions for his behavior. He played a big role in help- ing the U.S. win gold at the FIBA World Cup in Spain this summer, and he's again promising to control his emotions and become a positive team leader. DEFENSIVE DEVELOPMENT The Kings will need to show some semblance of defense to improve this season. Malone, who was considered one of the best defensive minds as an as- sistant, never got his phi- losophy to take shape as a rookie head coach. The Kings ranked 24th in the NBA in defense, giving up 103.4 points per game. They also struggled all sea- son defending the 3-point line, allowing the oppo- sition to shoot 38 per- cent from beyond the arc, which ranked 29th out of 30 teams. NEW POINT MEN The Kings signed Collison and Sessions to be supe- rior defenders and distrib- ute the ball more than the departed Isaiah Thomas ever did at point guard. Whether they do so is an- other matter. Sacramento ranked last in the league with only 18.9 assists per game last season. SHOOTI NG GUA R DS McLemore came in with high expectations after be- ing drafted seventh overall, but his rookie season was a disappointment. He shot 32 percent from 3-point range and 37.6 percent overall, averaging 8.8 points and one assist per game. Sac- ramento selected Stauskas eighth overall out of Mich- igan in this year's draft fig- uring he or McLemore — if not both — can provide more production at shoot- ing guard. GAY'S GAME Gay's deci- sion to pick up his $19.3 million option to return to the Kings was a big boon for the franchise this off- season. He joined Cous- ins on Team USA this summer and has been a solid performer since he arrived in a midseason trade from Toronto last year. Whether he can do more than pile up statis- tics and carry the Kings remains in question. Kings FROM PAGE 1 catch it, but that's the kind of play the Royals had been making on a routine basis. Moments later, Pence's homer highlighted a three-run burst in the first inning against James Shields. Nicknamed "Big Game James," he once again failed to live up to that billing and left in the fourth when the Giants made it 5-0. By then, Royals fans who had waited since 1985 for the Series to come to town had gone silent. Or, worse, they were booing while small "Let's go, Giants!" chants echoed through Kauffman Stadium. Just like that, what many figured would be a tight matchup had turned into a mismatch. And it was a good omen for the Giants — the Game 1 win- ner has won 15 of the last 17 World Series. The Royals will try to get even in Game 2 on Wednes- day night when rookie Yordano Ventura starts against veteran Jake Peavy. Bumgarner added to his sparkling World Series re- sume, improving to 3-0 and extending his scoreless streak to 21 innings before Salvador Perez homered in the seventh. The 25-year-old called MadBum by his team- mates was in trouble only once. Down 3-0, the Roy- als loaded the bases with a two-out walk and cleanup man Eric Hosmer stepped to the plate, but grounded out on the first pitch. Bumgarner went on to stretch his road postsea- son scoreless streak to a re- cord 32 2-3 innings as the Giants cruised. He pitched three-hit ball for seven in- nings, struck out five and walked one. Michael Morse, getting to play as the designated hitter in the AL park, had an RBI single that finished Shields, and reliever Danny Duffy walked Blanco with the bases loaded. Rookie Joe Panik hit an RBI triple that bounced past usually reliable right fielder Nori Aoki in the sev- enth and scored on a sin- gle by October force Pablo Sandoval. The MVP of the 2012 World Series triumph, Sandoval also had an RBI double in the first that ex- tended his postseason streak of reaching base to 24 straight games. Pence also doubled and walked. Before the game, the mood at the ballpark was positively giddy. Ushers greeted fans with "Wel- come to the World Series!" and some hot-dog vendors high-fived each other be- hind the counter. Yet the Giants wrecked that fun, and won for the 16th time in their last 18 postseason games. The Royals had won 11 straight in the postseason dating to their 1985 cham- pionship run, one short of the record held by a pair of New York Yankees clubs. But it was clear from the start that this would not be their night, and not even the little things went well. Early in the game, Kan- sas City third base coach Mike Jirschele retrieved a foul ball and tried to flip it into the stands. Instead, his toss fell well short of reaching the seats. UP NEXT Giants: Peavy lost 12 straight decisions this season, spanning his July trade from Boston to the Giants.
