DALLAS (AP) — Ben Bishop was as much a cheerleader as a goalie for Dallas in a scoreless overtime game.“It’s like Authentic Bradley Chubb Jersey , ‘C’mon, let’s score, guys,'” he said.Jason Dickinson obliged, burying a rebound 1:34 into overtime to preserve Bishop’s 23-save shutout and lift the Stars over the Boston Bruins 1-0 on Friday night.Dickinson and Mattias Janmark led a 2-on-1 against goalie Tuukka Rask. Janmark shot from the left side, and the rebound slid to Dickinson right in front. He lifted the puck in for his fourth of the season.“I recognized that it was a 2-on-1 and I went to open up for (Janmark),” Dickinson said. “I noticed that he was shooting, and I figured I’d go to the side that he was shooting on because there might be a rebound.“To be able to cap that off with an overtime winner from me, it feels really good.”Rask made 36 saves in his return from a week-long leave of absence for a personal matter. The Bruins have not elaborated on the reason for Rask’s leave.Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy wasn’t blaming Rask.“Overtime hasn’t been our friend,” Cassidy said. “We don’t manage the puck. We give up odd-man rushes. We don’t deserve to win. Listen, you’ve got to defend when you don’t have the puck.”Dallas won 1-0 in overtime or a shootout for the first time in franchise history. The Stars hadn’t been in a scoreless overtime game since a 1-0 shootout loss to Los Angeles on March 26 http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/bradley-chubb-jersey , 2009.The Bruins had not ended regulation in a scoreless tie since April 12, 2012 — a 1-0 win to open a first-round playoff series against Washington.Bishop got his 26th career shutout. His biggest save came midway through the second, when he stopped Joakim Nordstrom’s deflection.Coach Jim Montgomery has been impressed with Dallas goalies Bishop and Anton Khudobin.“It’s a luxury,” he said. “It’s been the most consistent and the best part of our game. What a gritty effort”Both sides were dealing with injuries to defenseman, so Boston had two players make their NHL debut in Jakub Zboril and Connor Clifton, and the Stars had one in Gavin Bayreuther.“Obviously missing some bodies in the defense,” Rask said. “Everybody battled. We played a solid game and resulted in one point.Dallas almost scored 49 seconds into the game. A tip-in by Tyler Pitlick went under and behind Rask, but defenseman Torey Krug moved the puck off the goal line with his stick.Boston’s Brad Marchand had 16 of his 18 penalty minutes in the second period. He received a double minor for roughing in a fight with Radek Faksa at 7:45 and left the ice at 12:46 after drawing a slashing penalty and a misconduct.“There were some fights out there, and guys sticking up for each other,” Bishop said. “They’re not all Picassos. This one was a little different.”Faksa’s line held the Bruins’ top line of Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak to six shots on goal.Dallas pressured Rask with 13 shots in the third period and six more in overtime.NOTES: Bergeron left the game in the third period with an upper-body injury. Cassidy said the center would be evaluated Saturday Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey , but he doesn’t expect Bergeron to play Saturday night. … Marchand’s 18 penalty minutes were his highest total since he had 19 in Boston’s season opener at Washington. The Bruins totaled 33 penalty minutes, and the Stars had 19. … There were so many players unavailable for Dallas that injured C Devin Shore was the only scratch. … The Bruins have six injured defensemen after Zdeno Chara (knee) and John Moore (lower body) were hurt Wednesday at Colorado. … Ian Kinsler of the World Series-champion Boston Red Sox dropped a ceremonial puck before the game. Kinsler spent his first eight seasons with the Texas Rangers.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: Saturday at Arizona for the third game of a four-game trip.Stars: Visit the Islanders on Sunday for the first of three games in four days on the road. At the Stanley Cup Finals earlier this year, Commissioner Gary Bettman couldn’t talk enough about the feel-good story of the Vegas Golden Knights and the NHL’s role in bringing major league sports to Las Vegas.When it came to a question about concussions and the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Bettman wasn’t nearly as chatty.“There’s nothing new on the subject,” Bettman said before turning to Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly and asking, “Do you want to answer that?”Daly didn’t, though he did note that the NHL believes there’s not enough scientific information to draw a definite link between concussions and CTE.“This is not the commissioner’s view, it’s the science view,” Daly said.No big surprise there, since Bettman and Daly run a league that has tolerated — and tacitly condoned — players hitting each other in the head ever since the era of the league’s Original Six began in 1942. And it is true that while there is increasing research that indicates concussions can cause CTE, there is a lot more researchers need to learn about head injuries before establishing it as a scientific fact.Still Authentic Phillip Lindsay Jersey , the NHL moved this week to settle a lawsuit from former players who accused the league of failing to warn them about the dangers of concussions and about the risks of playing hockey. The league agreed to settle with retired players in a deal that could net each $22,000 and make them eligible for up to $75,000 in medical treatment.That’s not much for players who got their brains scrambled playing the hard-nosed sport of hockey. More importantly, perhaps, is that it’s not an admission that the league did anything wrong, with the NHL not acknowledging any liability.It’s simply a way to move on, with a token payment to the 318 retired players settling the legal score.The total cost to the NHL is $18.9 million, a far cry from the NFL concussion settlement that covers 20,000 former players with payouts expected to top $1.5 billion over 65 years. As of last month, the NFL concussion lawsuit claims panel had already approved more than $500 million in awards and paid out $330 million.One reason the numbers are so different is that the NFL is a much bigger league than the NHL, generating about three times the revenue that major league hockey does. Another is that a federal judge denied class-action status in July for the lawsuit http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/phillip-lindsay-jersey , preventing another potential 5,000 retired players from being involved.The main reason, though, is that while the NFL attitude toward concussions softened over the years, the NHL wasn’t about to change its stance that there isn’t enough evidence to show that blows taken to the head led to brain damage.“When you have a defendant who has spent millions of dollars litigating a case for four years to prove that nothing is wrong with getting your brain bashed in, you can only get so far,” players’ attorney Stuart Davidson told The Associated Press. “I think it’s important for players who have an opportunity to settle their case with the NHL now to understand that before they get anything through a trial against the NHL, it’s going to cost millions of dollars in experts to get there, and that’s going to have to be paid for before they see a penny from any recovery, assuming they win.”In other words, a token settlement is better than no settlement at all.The NHL will end up spending the equivalent of the salaries of one first line over a year to get rid of a problem that could have vexed the league for many years. It did so without having to acknowledge that high-speed collisions and ubiquitous fighting could lead to brain problems later in life.Bettman’s hard-line approach paid off Womens Phillip Lindsay Jersey , and that’s no surprise.This is a commissioner, you might recall, who canceled an entire season rather than let players get paid what they’re worth. The lawsuit had already dragged on for four years, and with the NHL fighting it every step of the way, there wasn’t much appetite among attorneys and most former players to take it further.In the end, the players will get some medical testing and a few dollars. The NHL, meanwhile, will get protection from further suits at a small cost.Pretty easy to figure out the winner in this one.
