PHILADELPHIA (AP) -All those impatient boos and a string of games without a goal are in the past for Danny Briere.
Briere has gone from so-so to sensational in his first playoff series with the Flyers and has suddenly performed like he's worth every dollar of that big-bucks free-agent deal.
Briere has played more like the top player in the league than likely MVP Alex Ovechkin, scoring two more goals with an assist, leading Philadelphia to a 6-3 victory over the Washington Captials in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round series on Tuesday night.

Briere, Prospal get 'A' in chemistry
The 2007-08 NHL season started in early October, but for the Philadelphia Flyers' Daniel Briere, things really began Feb. 25. …more
Russia, fans embrace Ovechkin
Moscovites are up in the middle of the night to watch one charismatic Russian player named Alexander Ovechkin create havoc in Washington. …more
"The playoffs are extra special," Briere said. "I'm not going to lie about it, there's a little extra there."
No player has more postseason points the past three years than Briere. His four goals and two assists in the first three games of this series are a huge reason why the Flyers hold a 2-1 series lead.
Game 4 is Thursday night in Philadelphia.
"Danny had a twinkle in his eye," Flyers coach John Stevens said. "He looked like a player who was going to play the way he did."
Briere struggled for nearly two months in the first year of an eight-year, $52 million contract and briefly heard some boos from the Philly fanatics. He got hot down the stretch and earned the loudest roars from a pumpkin-orange crowd that was dying to let loose in Philadelphia's first home postseason game since 2006.
"That was a great thrill the way the crowd was early on and it certainly played a big role," Briere said.
All that energy turned into a bundle of nerves in the final minutes after Brooks Laich beat Martin Biron with 4:34 left in the game to make it 4-3. The play was reviewed for several minutes to make sure the puck wasn't played with a high stick, but the goal stood.
Their worries were soothed when Mike Richards scored on a penalty shot not even 2 minutes later to seal the win, and Mike Knuble added an empty-netter with 1:05 remaining.
The Flyers never let goalie Cristobal Huet or the rest of the Capitals get comfortable early in front of the raucous crowd. They finished their hits in a fast-and-furious first period that was capped by three goals in a 2:33 span - Briere scored first, and Scottie Hartnell and Sami Kapanen scored 17 seconds apart.
Biron delivered again, stopping 16 shots.
Ovechkin may be taking the MVP back to Washington, but the league's leading scorer has yet to really get going in this series. He scored the winning goal in Game 1, but has otherwise been stymied on each of his lengthy shifts. Ovechkin, who did not talk to the media, took only four shots in 24:51 of ice time.
"I just think they're zoning in on our top line," defenseman Mike Green said. "I mean every time those guys touch the puck they're getting hit. Not only that but we've got to find it within us to battle through that."
The Flyers even shut down Ovechkin after they lost stud defenseman Kimmo Timonen in the final minute of the second period. Laich cross-checked Timonen into the net and he was slammed on his right arm into a camera. Timonen writhed in pain, was helped off the ice and did not return.
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said Timonen would be evaluated on Wednesday.
Briere, who scored twice in Game 1, scooted down the ice and scored his 17th career playoff goal with 9.8 seconds left for a 4-2 lead.
"He's playing as good as he played all year and maybe as good as he ever has in the playoffs," Stevens said.
The Captials got to Biron midway through the second when they pulled to 3-2 on Green's power-play goal. He faked Hartnell and had a clear shot at Biron for the power-play goal.
The fans erupted when Lauren Hart, the daughter of longtime former Flyers broadcaster Gene Hart, sang "God Bless America," alternating lyrics with Kate Smith, who was on a video image. Smith's rendition of the song has been a rallying anthem for the Flyers since the mid 1970s.
"We put a good show on for them tonight," said forward Vaclav Prospal, who had three assists. "They showed us the emotion and the energy and we fed off that."
Briere sent the faithful into a frenzy when he scored with 3:50 left in the first. Eric Fehr quickly tied the game with his first playoff goal.
The Flyers needed only 17 seconds to go up 3-1 late in the first.
Hartnell turned a crisp circle-to-circle pass into a slapper for his first postseason goal. Briere made it happen when he tied up Tom Poti in the crease and caused a nice distraction.
"He's a tricky little player," Laich said of Briere. "You can't take your eye off him for one second because he'll find a little hole and pop one in."
Before the fans had even stopped celebrating, Jim Dowd stole the puck from Milan Jurcina and dropped it behind him to Kapanen, who scored his first playoff goal since 2004.
Notes: Biron's wife, Ann Marie, gave birth to the couple's third child, a daughter named Emily Marie, on Monday. ... Flyers F Patrick Thoresen was on the fourth line four days after a puck to the groin sent him to the hospital and nearly cost him a testicle. ... Flyers D Derian Hatcher also returned to the lineup for the first time since he broke his leg on March 15. ... Each team was 1-for-7 on the power play.

Papelbon delivers signature moment
BOSTON -- There was an anticipatory roar as Jonathan Papelbon sprinted in from the bullpen the first time, set to face Alex Rodriguez in one of those powerful individual showdowns that has marked the Red Sox vs. Yankees rivalry so many times over the years.
Papelbon stepped on the mound and started his warmups. But another force called Mother Nature -- which spit out rain, thunder and lightning -- delayed the marquee matchup for two hours and 11 minutes. In the end, it was worth the wait. For the Red Sox at least.
Papelbon, who came on with two on and two outs in the eighth, his team clinging to a one-run lead, overpowered A-Rod in the signature moment of Boston's 4-3 victory over the Yankees on Saturday at Fenway Park.
Despite having three separate bullpen warmups -- halfway into the delay, it appeared as if the game was about to start again only to have another downpour burst through -- Papelbon had all kinds of life left on his arm.
He blew Rodriguez away on three straight pitches, the last of which was a 96-mph heater that the superstar whiffed on.
"It was pretty amazing," said Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek. "He got hot for the third time. And to go out there with that kind of stuff still, he accepted a lot for this team and for him to be able to do that shows a lot to his teammates. It was a well-needed win for us."
With the victory, the Red Sox evened the three-game set with their rivals to set up Sunday night's rubber match.
Papelbon certainly had all kinds of time to think about how he'd pitch to the reigning American League Most Valuable Player. He started the at-bat with a fastball, which Rodriguez fouled off. Then, Papelbon fired a nasty splitter that A-Rod didn't even come close to squaring up. And then, the finale, which A-Rod took a mighty cut at, only to get air with his bat.
"I just wanted to move the ball around on him, and I did, I went right after him," Papelbon said. "I said to myself, 'This is the ballgame right here.' I feel like our team went out there, and everybody from top to bottom worked their butts off to put us in a situation to win, and I definitely was not going to let that go."
Rodriguez tried to duplicate his moment from last June, when he took a Papelbon offering over the wall in right field to deliver a win to the Yankees.
"You take your hacks," said Rodriguez. "Sometimes you get him and sometimes he gets you. I thought it was a good pitch to hit. I just missed it."
Before all the chaos of the shifting weather patterns, the focus was on Boston's other overpowering righty, ace Josh Beckett. Over 6 2/3 innings, Beckett gave up five hits and three runs, walking one and striking out five to earn his first win of 2008.
"I felt good early," said Beckett. "[I] got some pitches up later in the game."
A tiring Beckett walked off the mound with Robinson Cano (RBI double) on second and two outs in the seventh, protecting a 4-3 lead. On came Manny Delcarmen, who fired a 96-mph fastball by Jose Molina to keep Beckett in line for the win. In Beckett's last start, Delcarmen replaced him with the bases loaded and surrendered a grand slam to Frank Thomas.
Boston's other Manny -- star slugger Manny Ramirez -- also played a key role in this one. The cleanup man bashed a two-run double into the gap in right-center against Mike Mussina in the bottom of the sixth, overturning a 2-1 deficit.
The most interesting aspect of that sequence was the chess match. After Jacoby Ellsbury's single and Dustin Pedroia's double off the Green Monster set up second and third with one out, Yankees manager Joe Girardi elected to pitch to the heavily slumping David Ortiz (.070 average). That paid off, as Ortiz struck out.
But pitching to Ramirez didn't prove to work out nearly as well. Almost as if to take advantage before the Yankees changed their mind, Ramirez belted Mussina's first pitch, a fastball.
"You always want Manny to hit," said Pedroia. "[Manny] and David are our big guys, especially while Mike [Lowell] is out. I thought they would pitch to him, but kind of pitch around him and get him to chase. But Manny just came out first-pitch [swinging] and drove it in to the gap. I'm sure that's not the way they wanted it to happen, but it was definitely a great at-bat. Manny smells those RBIs."
Kevin Youkilis kept the pressure on with an RBI single up the middle, bringing home Ramirez.
Earlier on, Ramirez had gotten the Sox going by clocking a solo homer off the Volvo sign above the Green Monster in left-center with two outs in the bottom of the fourth. That broke a scoreless tie. It was career home run No. 492 for Ramirez, and his 53rd against the Yankees, tying Hank Greenberg for third on the all-time list. Only Hall of Famers Jimmie Foxx and Ted Williams had more career homers against New York.
"Manny had an excellent game -- the home run and a big double," said Varitek. "We aren't quite firing on all cylinders offensively yet."
The Yankees at last got something established against Beckett in the sixth, opening the inning with back-to-back singles. Johnny Damon sacrificed the runners to second and third, setting up Melky Cabrera for a sacrifice fly to center that could have been a lot more if not for a diving catch by Ellsbury. Beckett then unleashed a wild pitch, giving the Yankees their first lead of the day at 2-1.
But Ramirez and Co. would swing things back in Boston's favor. And despite the distraction of the weather, the Red Sox kept it that way.
This, after a truly heroic finish by Papelbon.
"That was pretty remarkable what he did -- to warm up three times and still pitch and get outs against the best hitters in baseball," said Pedroia. "You never have to worry about Pap. You know what he's going to do. It's not going to be lack of intensity or effort, that's for sure."
As difficult a decision as it was for Red Sox manager Terry Francona to bring Papelbon out after the lengthy delay, his closer made him look smart.
"His stuff was phenomenal," Francona said. "I'm not sure what's better, his arm or his heart. It was pretty impressive."

Powerful Sharks lurking in the West
If the belief that getting hot at the right time can make all the difference between early elimination or extending a playoff life, then fans, coaches and players of the San Jose Sharks should be prepared for a lengthy postseason.
Let’s face it -- there’s been no hotter team in the NHL than the group from the Bay Area, which established a franchise record 11-game winning streak from Feb. 21 through March 14. The Sharks have silenced virtually all of the critics, earning 28 points in March and catapulting over Dallas and the defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks to the top of the Pacific Division. That’s quite a feat, considering coach Ron Wilson’s team had been looking up at those clubs for more than four months.
Still, maybe the second seed in the Western Conference and home-ice advantage isn’t that big a deal for the Sharks, who own the best road record in the League this season. Additionally, the team is among the League’s top five in fewest goals allowed and in penalty killing.
San Jose center Jeremy Roenick said the team began to turn things around following a five-game losing streak in mid-February. It should be noted that during that season-high slump, winger Patrick Marleau was sidelined four games with a groin injury, and tireless goalie Evgeni Nabokov received a rare night off in a 3-2 loss to the Devils on Feb. 20. It was after that setback in New Jersey that the Sharks began their rise in the Western Conference. During its 11-game unbeaten string, the club averaged three goals and yielded just 1.63 a game.
“Everything started going right at that time, and it just built on itself,’’ Roenick said. “It’s an energy, and everybody thrives off it. We feel really confident right now.’’
Since Wilson took over the reins as coach in 2003-04, no team has appeared in more Stanley Cup playoff rounds (seven) than San Jose and only the 2007 Ducks (six) have won more playoff series than the Sharks (four). The Sharks dropped a six-game series to the Calgary Flames in the Conference Final in 2004, suffered a six-game setback to the Edmonton Oilers in the Conference semifinals in 2006 and dropped a six-game series to the Detroit Red Wings in the Conference semis last winter. Top-line center Joe Thornton, now in his third season with the Sharks, senses a different mentality among the players this season.
“I feel we’ll know what it takes to get over that hump that we couldn’t get past in the previous two years,’’ Thornton said. “I love our toughness, our speed and our goaltending. Our confidence is high at the right time of year. I’m really looking forward to the postseason.’’
The Sharks boast a well-rounded unit and made the biggest defensive splash at the trade deadline with the acquisition of two-time NHL All-Star Brian Campbell. In order to acquire the two-way defenseman, the Sharks sent bruising wing Steve Bernier and a first-round pick in the June draft to Buffalo. In addition to Campbell, the Sharks also acquired a seventh-round pick from Buffalo in 2008.
Campbell, despite his responsibility along the blue line, is second on the team in points behind Thornton, who is one of eight players with 10 or more goals this season. That list includes Marleau, Roenick, Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo, Joe Pavelski, Torrey Mitchell and Devin Setoguchi. Roenick, in fact, led the team in game-winning goals this winter. Additionally, Mike Grier, the wily 11-season veteran, Patrick Rissmiller and enforcer, Jody Shelley, have also played big roles. Grier, in fact, has done wonders for first-year performer Mitchell, who has transformed into one of the League’s top defensive forwards.
Defensively, Campbell and Craig Rivet, a solid veteran with offensive flair, have become steady forces for the impeccable Nabokov. Matt Carle, Christian Ehrhoff, Kyle McLaren and youngsters Doug Murray and Marc-Edouard Vlasic have all impressed. The Sharks defense put the hammer down on Anaheim on March 21 when it held its opponent without a shot in the third period of a 2-1 victory. It marked the first time in eight seasons that Anaheim had been held shotless during a period in club history.
The Sharks picked up 31-year-old free-agent goalie Brian Boucher on Feb. 26 to back up Nabokov. The nine-season veteran posted a 24-save, 2-0 shutout against St. Louis in his debut with the Sharks on March 1. Make no mistake, however, San Jose will ride Nabokov as long as possible.

Quotes
- Mike Richards on the play that led to his game-tying goal on the Island: “I lost [the faceoff] cleanly. They weren’t expecting it, and Thor made a great pass to me.” Hmm . . . losing a draw is now a strategic ploy to fool the Islanders into a false sense of security.
- Kimmo Timonen on the playoff race: “Obviously, like normal people, we watch the standings like everybody else does. Every time we win we’re maybe hoping somebody loses, but they won’t.” Send a guy to the All-Star Game and suddenly he’s the next Clark Kent. Don’t be insulted, fellow normal people - Timonen has a very dry sense of humor.
