With the finish line of a punishing two month playoff marathon in sight, the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks could end the Stanley Cup Finals without their top players as the grind of four best-of-seven series takes its toll. Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews and Bruins center Patrice Bergeron, the leading scorer in the Finals, never saw the ice during the third period of Chicago's Game Five 3-1 win over Boston on Saturday after going down with injuries. The Blackhawks walked away from the wreckage with a 3-2 series lead and can clinch the Stanley Cup with a Game Six win in Boston on Monday but they may have to finish the job without Toews, their leader and talisman.   Both coaches remained tight-lipped on Sunday about the status of their players, leaving the rumor mill to speculate on the nature of the injuries. In the National Hockey League teams treat injuries like state secrets and they fall into two categories, upper or lower body. Toews's injury appears to be

Hanescu lost his opening service game and was 3-0 down within six minutes as Federer showcased his broad armory of attacking shots. His serve regularly found the lines, w
