Game Thread: Boston Bruins Versus the Montreal Canadiens

[Comeds]

I worry about Carey Price, I don't think he can stand up to the pressure

For him to suceed they need to get him out of Montreal. Its obvious they brought him up too young and he is about to crack.

Skipped right over Bruins in 3 - Nice

The Bruins have better defense, better goaltending (slightly), and bigger forwards. They dont give up that much in speed. The Habs have little chance in this series.

Meh, I wouldn't go that far. I'd say the tilt is in our favor, but it's the playoffs, anything can happen. Bruins/Habs is always a shitshow.

 

[BF4L]

Gonna depend on special teams. Always a lot of calls between the 2 teams. The team that wins the special teams battle will win.

I think there was maybe 1 playoff series against Montreal in our lives where the Bruins won easily? others we either lost or squeaked by. I am however encouraged by our play against Detroit who was supposed to present a similar personnel challenge

What if the game goes into OT and NBC cuts away to show the Kentucky Derby?

/It has happened before.

Or pre-empting the entire game to show the Preakness pre-race show. 5 hours of coverage for a ten minute event where midgets abuse animals with sticks.



I'm over it now.








Not really.

Still better than the KD. They're starting their pre-race coverage on NBCSN on Weds.

No please. Fri or Sat night please.

Originally, they were thinking of starting Boston - Montreal on Thursday night, but I think they might push it back due to two series in the West going to 7 games and the Rangers - Flyers potentially going the distance as well.

/Noon eastern (9 AM Pacific) is when I mow the lawn.

If our series goes 7, the game is scheduled for tomorrow night. Don't think it will effect this series, but who knows.

I want a new rule that, to the extent possible, any team that plays a game 7 has to be on the ice again no less than two nights later.

Obviously it wouldn't always work, like if Team A wins their game 7 on Tuesday and Team B doesn't play their game 7 until Wednesday, but I'd like them to be back on the ice by Friday then.

They probably want the Penguins vs. Rangers/Flyers series to be on Sunday afternoon because that's the more marquee matchup I would guess

Yeah, they're all about ratings, which I get. I just don't like how long the wait is sometimes.

From where I sit, both teams are diving bastards from up north.

Just saying.

Seeing as the Bruins were LAST in PP opportunities I guess they really suck at diving huh? At least try to have some ammunition when making comments like that.

 

[mattola]

[SLY]
