HAMILTON, Ont. Jared Veldheer Broncos Jersey . -- The Hamilton Bulldogs are focused on keeping their composure period by period as their season winds down. Christian Thomass second-period goal stood as the winner and Dustin Tokarski made 27 saves as the Bulldogs defeated the Abbotsford Heat 2-1 on Wednesday in the American Hockey League. "Tonight we stayed composed, even when we thought we had another goal in the third period," said Hamilton head coach Sylvain Lefebvre. "We kept working, and we have to get used to playing those tight hockey games. "Thats what gets you to the playoffs, and thats what helps you win hockey games when you get there." A post-season berth is far from Hamiltons grasp, however. The Bulldogs remain 10 points back of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, with just 14 games to play. Mike Blunden and Gabriel Dumont also scored for Hamilton (27-30-5). Chris Breen had the lone goal for the Heat (34-23-7), who have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Aaron Dell stopped 36 shots. Michael Bournival made his debut for the Bulldogs on Wednesday, having been sent to the team by the Montreal Canadiens a day earlier on a conditioning assignment. After playing 50 games for Montreal in his rookie season, the forward suffered a concussion in a Feb. 6 game against the Vancouver Canucks, and was cleared for contact on March 14. His insertion in the Bulldogs lineup provided a much-needed boost to the top line, and the combination of Bournival, Sven Andrighetto and Thomas used its speed to great effect against the Heat in the first period. Thomas was very pleased with the lines first game together, and felt comfortable playing alongside Bournival, who he came across several times at the junior level. "Its always tough playing with a new guy, but (Bournival) fits in really well and brings a lot of speed," he said. "Ive known him for a long time, and grew up playing with him at world junior camps. "Ive seen him quite a bit, and obviously he has some NHL experience. But he plays a hard game and that always helps your line." Hamilton was getting the best of play, but it was Abbotsford that opened the scoring at 8:56. Ex-Bulldog Corey Locke controlled the puck below Hamiltons goal-line, and connected with the open Breen as he glided into the high slot. The defenceman released a mid-range wrist shot that Tokarski only partially connected with, and the puck trickled over the goal-line. It was Breens first goal of the season. Pressure did eventually pay off for Hamilton, as Blunden stole the puck from Abbotsford defender Shane OBrien to create an equalizing goal. The winger moved in alone on Dell and shifted from backhand to forehand before lofting a shot over the far shoulder of the goaltender at 17:55. Blunden nearly scored his second of the game with 10 minutes to play in the second period, as Dell kicked a Morgan Ellis slap shot from the point out to his right and the winger narrowly missed a tap in attempt at the post. Thomas did better with Hamiltons next scoring chance, as the Bulldogs took the lead at 12:42. After a period and a half of successful forechecking, Hamiltons top line got on the board when Bournival fought off a defender along the right wing and fired a low wrist shot that Dell knocked into the path of Thomas to his right. The rookie winger did the rest, slotting a quick shot past the sprawling goaltender from close range. Consecutive penalties to Nathan Beaulieu posed a late challenge for the Bulldogs, but their penalty killing unit responded well to hold the lead through 40 minutes of play. Hamilton entered play on Wednesday with an 18-0-1 record when leading after two periods. Tokarski did his part to preserve the lead, snatching a Max Reinhart wrist shot out of the air from point blank range with just under six minutes to play. His save was rewarded at the other end of the ice, as Dumont was awarded a penalty shot after being tripped with a clear path to the net, and made good on the chance. Slowly skating toward Dell, Dumont stopped abruptly and shifted to his forehand to tuck the puck in behind him at 16:01 of the third period. Neither team made use of their power plays on Wednesday, as Hamilton went 0 for 2 while Abbotsford was 0 for 3. Marquette King Jersey . Browns advice worked.

Smith regime. Meachems release Saturday, along with 10 others to get down to the 53-man limit, came two days after he sustained a concussion following a reception in a 41-6 loss to San Francisco in the exhibition finale. Meachem was part of a costly, unproductive free-agent class in 2012, which was viewed as a desperate gamble by Smith to save his job as general manager. He and coach Norv Turner were fired a day after the Chargers finished last season at 7-9, their first losing record in 10 years and their third straight year out of the playoffs. Meachem was given a four-year contract with $14 million guaranteed, including a $5 million salary this year. Signed the same day Smith let Vincent Jackson leave as a free agent, Meachem caught only 14 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns last season. Meacham had been a forgotten man since dropping a potential touchdown pass in a 7-6 loss at Cleveland last season. "It just didnt work out, unfortunately," said GM Tom Telesco, who put together his first 53-man roster. "Hes a great kid, a great person. He did everything we asked. It just didnt work out." Also cut were tackle Nick Becton, outside linebacker Frank Beltre, tight end Ben Cotton, cornerback Marcus Cromartie, defensive end Logan Harrell, running back Michael Hill, cornerback Josh Johnson, linebacker Thomas Keiser, centre David Molk and tight end David Rolf. Telesco has had to overhaul the roster after Smiths many mistakes during the last several seasons took their toll on a team that won four straight AFC West titles from 2006-09. On March 27, Telesco released left tackle Jared Gaither, the biggest bust in Smiths tenure. Gaither was released after just one season of a four-year, $24.5 million contract, of which $13.5 million was guaranteed. "I like this group of guys a lot because we see how hard they work and know theyll go out and fight," Telesco said. "t;Thats the big thing. Case Keenum Broncos Jersey. This is a group of guys who look to prove people wrong. Theres nothing wrong with that." The Chargers will carry three quarterbacks, at least for now. Brad Sorensen, a seventh-round draft choice, made the team behind starter Philip Rivers and backup Charlie Whitehurst. "Well see how he develops," Telesco said. "He had a nice preseason and were happy with what hes showing in practice. Obviously the third quarterback doesnt get a lot of snaps, but he got enough in preseason. He definitely has skills and we like him at a position where theyre very difficult to find." Among those making the roster were running back Fozzy Whittaker, who was on Arizonas practice squad for two weeks last season, as well as safety Jahleel Addae and Kwame Geathers, both undrafted rookies. Geathers brother, Robert, plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. His uncle, James "Jumpy" Geathers, spent 13 seasons with four NFL teams. "They came in with an opportunity and took it and ran with it and won jobs. Its very rewarding to those guys," Telesco said. The Chargers set their offensive line on Friday when they released veteran left tackle Max Starks, who lost the battle for the starting job to King Dunlap. The Chargers return two starting offensive linemen, but only centre Nick Hardwick returns in his original position. Jeromey Clary has moved from right tackle to right guard, and first-round draft pick D.J. Fluker will start at right tackle. Left guard Chad Rinehart, like Dunlap, was a free agent acquisition. "I thought the line, as they started playing together more and have gotten a lot of snaps together, are getting better and better," Telesco said. "Were starting to see the three inside guys click, which is big. Its a new spot for Jeromey, Nick is the lynchpin and Chad is new to us. Communication is getting better among all five guys. Theyve got to keep that all season, five players working as one. A lot of it is communication-based."
