OTTAWA -- Its textbook media training for hockey players: dont utter a word about the next round of the playoffs until you have all four games of your current series in the bag. Its a lesson Sidney Crosby has apparently learned well. "Im not talking about anything ahead of Game 5," was all the Pittsburgh Penguins captain would say when asked about a potential Eastern Conference final against, likely, the Boston Bruins. But after Wednesday nights 7-3 blowout of the Ottawa Senators, its hard to imagine Crosby and his teammates arent starting to think about their next trip to Beantown. Pittsburgh now holds a 3-1 series lead heading into a pivotal Game 5 at home on Friday. The Penguins didnt just beat the Senators in Game 4 of their semifinal series. They obliterated them. For a time -- until, say, Pittsburghs four-goal romp in the third period -- it looked like Ottawa might make this a series. The Senators got on the scoreboard early in the first period -- and just like Sundays double-overtime marathon win in Game 3, they did it the hard way. With defenceman Sergei Gonchar in the penalty box, Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson fed the puck up the middle to a streaking Milan Michalek, who broke through the Penguins defence and beat Tomas Vokoun low on the glove side to put Ottawa up 1-0. It was the first time Ottawa has led this series. But it wouldnt last. A hot goalie can only take a team so far, and any team that lets the star-studded Penguins shoot at will is bound to eventually give up a goal. Thats exactly what happened when Ottawa lost a face-off in its own end and James Neal was there to pick up the loose puck. He fired a shot into the back of the net to tie the game at one goal apiece. The pesky Sens, as the Twitter hash tag goes, battled back. Kyle Turris swept the puck past a sprawling Tomas Vokoun to put Ottawa ahead once more. It was the last time the Senators would have more goals on the scoreboard than Pittsburgh. Chris Kunitz snuck behind the Senators defence and put one past Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson. Less than a minute later, a rebound landed right on the tape of Jarome Iginlas stick and he made it 3-2 Penguins. Ottawa got a lot of chances in the latter half of the second period. Unfortunately for the Senators, none got by Vokoun. The Penguins netminder ended the night with 30 saves. After that, it was all Pittsburgh. Neal, Pascal Dupuis, Crosby, Iginla -- boom, boom, boom, boom. Four Penguins goals in the third period put the game out of reach for Ottawa. Senators coach Paul MacLean pulled Anderson after he let in six goals on 38 shots. Andersons replacement, Robin Lehner, allowed one goal on four shots. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said the firing-range approach was the only way his team was going to beat Anderson. "There was a sense like, OK, this might take as many shots as we can muster to break this guy. And fortunately, we kept on that mindset," Bylsma said. "It was a matter of, we are going to have to fire anything and everything we can at this guy to get one by him." Alfredsson marked a bittersweet milestone by notching his 100th career playoff point with a power-play goal late in the third period to make it 7-3. It was too little, too late. Only twice before have the Senators given up seven goals in a playoff game: against the Buffalo Sabres in 2006 and against the Penguins in 2010. Over in the Senators dressing room, the players were taking another page from hockey talk 101: put on a brave face when facing almost certain elimination. "I know what were going to do," Alfredsson said. "Were going to go out and play one hell of a game. That doesnt worry me at all. We never quit and thats not going to stop now. We know the odds are against us in every way, but we never quit and thats going to continue." Said defenceman Chris Phillips: "Its not where we want to be, but thats where we are." MacLean imparted a final lesson after the game: when you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. The Senators coach tersely told journalists to look at the scoresheet before leaving the room without taking any questions.Swell Flaske 500 Ml . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg.

The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings.

Barrett had to get it done on the ground.Barrett rushed a career-high 26 times for 137 yards and a touchdown and threw for another score and No. 2 Ohio State beat Indiana 38-17. Barrett was 9-of-23 for 93 yards passing.In my opinion, thats the best quarterback in college ball, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said.Ohio State (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) was forced to rely mostly on its ground game, which accounted for 290 yards, and some tough play by its defense -- including a critical fourth-quarter stop on its own 4 yard line following a Barrett interception -- to fend off the Hoosiers, who had upset Michigan State last weekend.Ohio States defense also forced Indiana (3-2, 2-1) to turn the ball over on downs on the Hoosiers own 33 with 5:22 left and the Buckeyes leading 31-17. Five plays later, Barrett hit Dontre Wilson with a 37-yard touchdown pass to put the game out of reach.Safety Malik Hooker sealed the win by picking off Richard Lagow on Indianas next series. The Buckeyes held Indiana to just one score in the second half.Theyre great athletes and they covered our guys, Ohio State guard Billy Price said. Some days you struggle with passing and some days you struggle with the run, and today was one of the days we struggled with the pass.Both teams had trouble establishing any offensive tempo.It was just an awkward game, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said.Hybrid back Curtis Samuel rushed nine times for 82 yards and a touchdown for the Buckeyes, and tailback Mike Weber ran for 71 yards and two scores.Lagow was 14-of-28 for 182 yards and two touchdowns, but Indiana managed just 99 yards rushing.

Theyre going to be tough for anybody the rest of the year, Thats on us as well as them being good. We didnt hit a couple plays and they made a couple plays.THE TAKEAWAYIndiana: Buoyed by laast weeks upset of Michigan State, Indiana was effective at times but couldnt keep up with the more talented Buckeyes.ddddddddddddOhio State: The Buckeyes defense played tough and kept Ohio State in the game. Ohio State showed its passing game can be stopped, but Barrett can find a way to win anyway. Meyer said Barrett carried too many times, and we have to fix it.I didnt throw particularly well in the passing game by any means, Barrett said. I have to do a better job of reading the coverage better and getting the ball to our playmakers.MOMENTUM CHANGER: After Indiana scored to cut the Buckeyes lead to 17-10 with 1:03 left in the first half, Ohio States Parris Campbell ran back the ensuing kickoff 91 yards to the Indiana 6. Two plays later, Barrett ran through the Hoosiers untouched for a touchdown to make it a two-score game at halftime.I didnt really feel anyone near me, Campbell said. I thought I was cruising to the end zone. Im sure Ill get it next time. Going out on the field I felt we needed the momentum back. I knew we needed a big play.QUOTABLEThey put the people in on the goal line for a reason, and I knocked them back and made the tackle for loss, said defensive end Nick Bosa, who with Michael Hill stuffed Indianas Devine Redding on fourth and 1 at the Ohio State 4 in the fourth quarter.POLL IMPLICATIONSAn unimpressive win over an unranked Big Ten team isnt likely to garner Ohio State many more first-place votes.UP NEXTIndiana: The Hoosiers face another stiff test next week at home against undefeated No. 12 Nebraska.
