    They'll need to play better in round 2, or more precisely more finish around the net, and if PK plays like he did in the final 3 games they'll be tough. They'll have Moen back as well, that should help ... although they did sweep they benefited from shaky Tampa goaltending. But if they are playing Boston anything can happen ... such a vicious rivalry.

    It should be a good series, Boston is a tough team. Hopefully we don't roll over easy.

    I don't think we're gonna roll over easy. They have a good game and with Patches getting the GWG they have momentum that should carry them until Boston and Detroit wrap up. I can see us getting slammed with injuries with Bostons dirty play.

    Yeah the injuries could mount up quick against them. Especially if everyone doesn't have a new titanium cup.

    At least one out of Boston, can't ask for much more than that.

    I thought for sure the Bs were gonna take that game. Habs looked so flat in the 3rd.

    Yeah, even the first two periods were hard to watch. If the goons were able to put the puck in an empty net last night it would have been soooo bad.

    I agree. And Boston had so many wide-open net opportunities and somehow, they missed everyone of them. I'm happy that the Habs but it will be a long series.

    I think Price was going to need to steal a couple, that was 1. I'm not sure Boston can play much better than that, but I'm sure Montreal can ... so if Montreal plays better from here on out it should be a good series and may go the distance. I expected Montreal to be flat in this game after such a long layoff (really to much time off ... imo), so for Montreal to win this game was exceptional for them. Should be a great series ... no doubt the greatest rivalry in hockey.

    Hopefully they're embarrassed after that collapse. Hockey games are 60 minutes, not 50.
    Regroup.

    They suffered from too cocky for your own good syndrome in Game 2 which they needed to be reminded was not going to work. Now we can settle down into a good series that is going to take a lot of work on both sides.

    It's hard to get your hopes up with these guys, they always tempt you then let you down!

    Such is the heart of the hockey(or any sport really) fan. We were spoiled for years and have had to completely rebuild the team, but we are in a good place. Have faith all we have to do is take Boston down and the Rangers already took care of Philly for us so it is looking good. It could be so much worse we could be Leafs or Canucks fans...talk about being let down all the time :p

    Subban is very very good player. I hope his brother Malcolm is as good a goalie.

    PK Subban 11 points in the playoffs ... Impressive. Impressive win by Montreal.

    He is rated well, but Rask is going to be there a long long time too.
