FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - No doubt about it.Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are the dominant coach-quarterback pair in the NFL. And they left no question that they deserve the sixth Super Bowl appearance of their brilliant careers.Brady threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns, Belichick got his league-high 21st post-season win and the New England Patriots routed the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 in the AFC championship game Sunday night.Weve had a lot of good teams in the past, Brady said. This one is going to have to win a very important game to kind of leave our legacy.Its the most important one. The Patriots (14-4) will face defending champion Seattle (14-4) on Feb. 1 in Glendale, Arizona, as they seek their first Super Bowl win in 10 years after winning three in four. The Seahawks beat the Green Bay Packers 28-22 in overtime in the NFC title game Sunday.LeGarrette Blount ran for 148 yards and three touchdowns for New England in the second-most lopsided win in an AFC title game.You look around and people are posing with the trophy, everybodys smiling, Patriots linebacker Donta Hightower said in the locker room. Everybodys smiling. Even coach Belichick is smiling.Andrew Lucks expression was much different after his worst game since he was chosen with the top pick in the 2012 draft. He completed 12 of 33 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He is 0-4 against the Patriots with every loss by at least 21 points.Its hard to find much good right now, fresh off this game, Luck said. We had our sights set higher.The Patriots lost AFC title games the past two seasons after losing to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl after the 2011 season.Its so much work just to get there and losing the last time we were there hurt, New England safety Devin McCourty said. Weve got to play a great team. They wouldnt be there if they werent and to go back two years in a row is tough, and they did it.The Patriots have a pretty impressive history, too.Brady surpassed John Elway for most Super Bowl appearances for a quarterback and tied defensive lineman Mike Lodish for most by any player. Belichick tied Don Shula for most Super Bowls for a coach and broke a tie with Tom Landry with his 21st post-season win. And New England tied Dallas and Pittsburgh for most appearances in the big game with eight.I know weve had some ups and downs this year, Brady said of a team that split its first four games, but right now were up, baby, and were going to try to stay up for one more game.Some things to take from the Patriots blowout win:UP HIS HOODIE SLEEVE: One game after receiver Julian Edelman threw a touchdown pass to beat Baltimore, the Patriots pulled out another trick play.With a third-and-1 on the Colts 16 early in the third quarter, offensive tackle Nate Solder reported as an eligible receiver and caught a touchdown pass from Brady to give New England a 24-7 lead.It was amazing to be a part of a game like that and have a cool play like that, Solder said. The stars were aligned.Belichick repeatedly caught the Ravens off guard last week when they used skill players as ineligible receivers. Against Indianapolis, the crowd cheered every time the referee announced an eligible or ineligible receiver.Brady noted that Solder played tight end his first year in college at Colorado.So I dont know, he said, maybe we have more tricks up our sleeve.COACHING TREE: The Super Bowl will feature the two most recent Patriots coaches.Belichick has had great success in New England, winning six AFC titles and three Super Bowls. But Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was a flop in Foxborough, coaching the team for three seasons and winning fewer games in each one than the year before.Carroll then went to Southern Cal, winning two national championships and finishing in the top 5 of The Associated Press poll seven times in nine years before returning to the NFL with the Seahawks.NO EXCUSES: Luck wouldnt blame the rainy weather and Colts coach Chuck Pagano wouldnt blame distractions for the loss.I dont think it had a negative effect on anything, Luck said about his dome-team struggling in the rain.The Colts placed backup linebacker Josh McNary on the commissioners exempt list Thursday, less than 24 hours after prosecutors filed criminal charges against him. Reserve offensive tackle Xavier Nixon missed the teams flight Saturday and was inactive. Running back Trent Richardson missed the walk-through Saturday and didnt travel with the team.Weve got too good of veteran leadership in that locker room, and were not going to use that as any excuse, Pagano said.BABY STEPS: The Colts have improved by one game in each of Lucks three seasons. They lost in the wild-card round to Baltimore in 2012 and the Patriots beat them in the divisional round last year.Well learn from this, well grow from this and well go to work and make 2015 better than 2014, Pagano said.SPREADING THE WEALTH: Rob Gronkowski didnt catch his first pass until the middle of the third quarter and finished with only three receptions for 28 yards and one touchdown. But the Patriots didnt need much from their All-Pro tight end, who was matched up against nemesis Sergio Brown.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Landry Shamet Clippers Jersey . -- Jerome Verrier scored once and set up two more as the Drummondville Voltigeurs downed the visiting Chicoutimi Sagueneens 5-1 on Friday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League play.

While Buck Pierce will be getting another shot, I think Max Hall does deserve another opportunity. Ivica Zubac Jersey . Interestingly, the culprits were not rookies, but well paid, experienced pros. The first gaffe came in the 24th minute of arguably the biggest early season MLS game in history between Seattle and Toronto.

Viewers in the Canadiens region can watch the game on TSN Habs at 10:30pm at/9:30pm et. The game is also available on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal. Yakupov and Galchenyuk were teammates with the Sarnia Sting of the OHL for two seasons. Yakupov was drafted by the Oilers first overall in 2012 and Galchenyuk was selected two spots later by the Canadiens. Peter Budaj will make his first start of the season in net for the Candiens as Montreal plays the second contest of a four-game swing through western Canada. Budaj is 14-6-3 with a 2.92 GAA and .886 save percentage in 24 meetings with the Oilers, while Carey Price is 1-4-1 with a 3.65 GAA and .853 save percentage in six encounters. All but one of Budajs encounters with the Oilers came while he was with the Colorado Avalanche. He faced them as a member of the Habs on March 8, 2012 and made 24 saves in a win. That was the most recent meeting between these clubs, with the Canadiens snapped a three-game series losing streak with the 5-3 road victory. It was also their first victory in the past five trips to Edmonton. Devan Dubnyk got the start in Edmontons first two games of the season, losses to Winnipeg and Vancouver. The 27-year-old was tagged for 10 goals on 59 shots faced in the two games and was lifted early in favor of Jason LaBarbera in defeat versus the Canucks on Oct. 5. Dubnyk gave up three goals in the first period of that contest, including a pair in the final two minutes of the frame. "Its two games and I felt good for the majority of the first period last game, so Ill just build off that," Dubnyk said on Wednesday. "I know what Ive got to do to go play.dddddddddddd Ive done it lots before and Im just excited to go out there and do it again tomorrow." The six-year vet is 1-0-1 with a 3.29 goals against average and .892 save percentage in two meetings with the Canadiens and gets the call tonight despite LaBarbera helping backstop the Oilers to a 5-4 shootout win over New Jersey on Monday. LaBarbera made 21 saves on 25 shots faced through overtime, but turned aside both skaters he faced in the shootout, while Edmontons Jordan Eberle and David Perron converted their chances. It capped a furious comeback for the Oilers, who trailed by three goals entering the third period before getting four straight tallies from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Andrew Ference, Perron and Taylor Hall. The Devils did net a tying goal with 54 seconds left in regulation. "It was a fun game. Its not a situation we want to put ourselves in, but it was a great win. That final period was great," said Nugent-Hopkins, who made his season debut following shoulder surgery. The Canadiens have lost two of three to begin the season and dropped a 3-2 decision in Calgary last night. Montreal yielded a pair of goals in the first period and trailed by three before getting goals from P.K. Subban and Lars Eller. Subban also assisted on Ellers third-period tally, but took a late penalty to halt any chance of a comeback. "We didnt react well to the two mistakes we made in the first period, and its one of those things where we took some penalties in the third period and we shouldnt have taken those type of penalties," Montreal head coach Michel Therrien said. Andrei Markov picked up his 400th career point with an assist, while Eller has notched four goals and six points through the first three games. ' ' '-2 win on aggregate. ' ' '
