Blitzed by Hawthorn early in the 2014 AFL grand final, fast-starting Sydney are making sure the boot is now firmly on the other foot.Hawthorn ensured the last two grand finals were practically over by halftime thanks to dominant opening terms and the Swans are keen to emulate those feats.In 2014 they kicked five goals to two against Sydney in the first quarter and outscored them six to three in the second to lead by 42 points at halftime.It was more of the same in 2015, when the Hawks kicked five majors to West Coasts one in the opening term and were 31 up by the long break.In the past two weeks, Sydney have burnt off Adelaide and Geelong in similar fashion.They kicked seven goals in the first quarter of both games, having never previously booted more than six in the opening period of a finals fixture.The start will again be crucial when they face the Western Bulldogs in Saturdays grand final at the MCG.We understand the importance of starting well, Sydney ruckman Kurt Tippett told AAP.We always try to focus on our first couple of contests and and then flow from there.As a group, were well aware of how important the start is.The Swans have won 19 out of 25 first quarters, this season and havent trailed by more than 11 points at quarter time of any match.Sydney have kicked five or more goals in eight opening quarters this year, but their defence has also played a big part in their strong starts.Only twice this year have Sydney conceded more than three goals in an opening term, and they still won both games.They have kept five teams goalless till quarter time, among them competition heavy-hitters, Hawthorn, Geelong and Greater Western Sydney.The Bulldogs have also kicked five or more goals eight times in the first quarter, buthave been outscored in 11 of their 25 opening terms.Both clubs are among the top four in the competition in disposals, clearances, stoppages and tackles,I think the first half of footy is going to be red hot, said former Swans and Bulldogs forward Barry Hall.If the Bulldogs can stay with them, and I hope they can, they are a chance.Well see what sort of spirit theyve got in the second half of footy.They just play games out..

OTTAWA, Ontario -- Mark Borowiecki found a unique way to break the tension in a tight game against the New Jersey Devils.Derick Brassard scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period, Mike Condon stopped 29 shots and the Ottawa Senators beat the Devils 3-1 on Saturday night to snap a season-high three-game losing streak.Bobby Ryan scored in the first period and Zack Smith added an empty-netter for the Senators.However, everyone was talking about Borowiecki after the game. For about 30 seconds midway through the third period the Devils controlled the puck in the Ottawa zone while Borowiecki stumbled and fell about five times after losing his skate blade. Referee Tim Peel finally blew the play dead allowing Borowiecki to make his way to the bench and get his skate repaired.It was a very serious moment in the game and (the Devils) were throwing the puck around and then I saw (Borowiecki) fall and I couldnt help but chuckle when he fell on his butt so hard, Condon said. I talked to the ref after and he said `thats not hockey and I had to blow the whistle. Thankfully he blew it down.Borowiecki also had a postgame laugh about the incident and said it was the second pair of skates he broke in the game.My blade holder cracked in half and I lost my steel and when that happens you cant stand up. Its impossible, he said. Im pretty sure I have two bruised hip bones right now from falling so much. You can laugh about it now. (Chris Kelly) said Timmy Peel was so disgusted with me on that shift he just finally blew it down.John Moore scored and Keith Kinkaid finished with 28 saves for the Devils, who have lost five straight.The Senators entered the third period up 2-1 and needed a great save from Condon in the final minute before Smith scored into the empty net with 14 seconds to play.Despite Borowieckis moment of comedic misfortune, Senators coach Guy Boucher thought his club played a textbook third period -- not allowing the Devils to score while holding them to six shots.Winning teams, thats what theyre able to do, Boucheer said.dddddddddddd I like that twice we took away back doors, which has hurt us lately. I really like that we had a back door, box up mentality.(Cody) Ceci saved one, (Dion) Phaneuf saved one, our forwards were really looking for that back-door guy, so I think we got better. It was a solid, shutdown third period.Ottawa went up 2-1 at 1:14 of the second period when Brassard tipped a shot by Zack Smith past Kinkaid. That goal was changed after originally being credited to Smith.The Devils nearly tied the game a few minutes later when Taylor Hall beat Condon with a shot from the slot, but after hitting the post the puck was swept away by Dion Phaneuf.The Senators got the games first goal four minutes in thanks to a little leg work from Smith. Chris Kelly took a shot that was redirected by the knee of Ryan in front of Kinkaid.Kelly was originally credited with the goal but following further review it was changed to Ryan.The Devils tied the game just shy of the 11-minute mark of the first period when Moore beat Condon with a point shot. Mike Cammalleri picked up the assist on the goal, giving him his 600th NHL point.You hit a milestone and it gives you a moment to reflect, Cammalleri said. Im a romanticist when it comes to sports and it for me it makes me think of all the people that support you and all the time youve enjoyed playing this game.But its only a moment of reflection because you get right back to trying to win a hockey game.Game notes Ben Harpur, Craig Anderson and Mike Hoffman were the scratches for the Senators, while Beau Bennett, PA Parenteau and Pavel Zacha were scratches for the Devils ... F Casey Bailey, acquired along with defenseman Dion Phaneuf last season, made his Senators debut Saturday. ... F Jean Gabriel Pageau played his 200th NHL game, all with the Senators.UP NEXTDevils: At the New York Rangers on Sunday night.Senators: At the New York Islanders on Sunday night.
