Yea at this point I really can't agrue. This is why I wanted to avoid the Habs in the first round. The speed kills us and we try to play their game instead of ours.

I guess we will see what the Bruins are made of tonight with their backs up against the wall playing in a place I do not think they won at in about 2 years. Cue Mission Impossible music please...

Boston losing the first 2 games in their own building, and now heading to Montreal for the next two is just not looking good for them. Price is playing amazing between the pipes...........almost makes you forget about them trading Halak away after last year's amazing run.

The issue I have is not that Price is playing amazing, its that the Bruins aren't making life hard for him. They aren't putting traffic in front of him and content with take wrist shots striaght at his chest. Pretty much the only time there was any kind of traffic in front of him was the one goal the Bruins have scored.

I still have faith they can get things together and pull of the series but it all comes down to tonight. Also I think they need to do more then just win, they need to go out there and blow them out and crush Price's fragile mind for the rest of the series.

I'm not sure Price can be shaken, though I agree that the Bruins aren't creating the traffic in front of him to make him work harder. Price has been solid this season, but he hasn't been asked to do much these last 2 games. Basic fundamentals are getting the job done.

The Habs are playing great on both ends of the ice, but I think the Bruins can slow them down by getting more hits in and creating second chance situations in front of the net. As you said, they are simply shooting the puck in on Price when he's ready and then he's covering up. They're also letting them dictate the pace of the game. They keep that style of play going and they'll be done in 4 or 5 games for sure.

yeah Tim better not let in any quick goals tonight for that blow out to happen cause if they score early again the crowd will be ridiculous

History has shown in the past that Price breaks down if things do not go his way. He has been pulled and benched in the past and has always been known for having a fragile psyche. I think if the Bruins can go in there and win big, like 3-0 or 4-1 then the series will change a lot because Price can't be counted on to win the next game. His playoff history shows then when he has one bad game he goes on to have another bad game.

Bottom line is that the Habs have HUGE momentum. Coming home after winning 2 games at the Garden is as good as it gets. Bruins certainly have their work cut out for them. I won't be surprised if they are swept - and will love every second of it!
