the back of the house, so to speak," Jacobs said. "I can't speak enough for the total organization and how it's moved forward. I'm just so proud of what they've achieved."It wasn't easy. Even though goaltender Tim Thomas has two shutouts and an impressive 2.29 goals-against average, and David Krejci and Nathan Horton each have 17 points through three rounds, the Bruins still had to play 18 games to get here. Wrapped around a surprisingly thorough four-game sweep of the Flyers in Round 2, were two emotionally draining seven-game series vs. the Canadiens and Lightning.Round 3 ended with a classic 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay on Friday night, in front of a charged home crowd."I think it was disciplined hockey at its best. You had to dig deep," Jacobs said. "And I thought it was great hockey. This city thought it was great hockey. That's more important than anything — that the fans came out the way they did, and that they responded the way they did. I couldn't have been more pleased with it."And keep in mind, the Bruins — in a sports town that is quick to push the panic button — opened the playoffs by dropping the first two games at home to Montreal.Boston is 12-4 since."I was disappointed we were down 2-0. I had a lot of confidence in our team, but I have to tell you — when you're down 2-0 — you've got to be concerned about whether or not you can pull that off," Jacobs said. "And to go into Montreal, and win the next two, well that was very refreshing."The Bruins will journey back into Canada on Monday after a practice in Boston. The Canucks, who defeated Chicago, Nashville and San Jose to win the West, haven't played since last Tuesday, when they defeated the Sharks 3-2 in Game 5 of the conference finals.Vancouver led the NHL with 117 points this season, 10 more than any other team. After a tougher-than-expected first round, in which they needed overtime of Game 7 to dispose of the Blackhawks, the Ca's just that she played a little bit more aggressive. That's why I was playing a little bit too passive. It's not acceptable at this stage of the grand slam." World number one Caroline Wozniacki and second ranked Kim Clijsters crashed out in earlier rounds as the women's game struggles with an identity crisis in the absence of the injured Williams sisters. Last year's final between champion Francesca Schiavone and Samantha Stosur, also eliminated last week, was widely regarded by pundits as one of the most forgettable in recent years as the pair were not household names. Saturday's showpiece could be a similar affair unless one of the remaining players in the draw sparkles to life with some exciting rather than grunting tennis, even if the Paris clay makes truly memorable matches tricky. DESIGNER LABELS The Russian talked at length last week about outfits and designer labels but there was nothing eyecatching about the display from her compatriots on Sunday. There was not a drop shot or element of finesse in sight on a half-empty center court. The throngs coming to watch men's masters Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in their later matches shrewdly decided to give the first encounter a miss. Zvonareva made a shaky start following a slip but broke back twice to go 4-2 up in the first set before folding again and allowing the 14th seed to prevail in
