Would have been cool to see a series against the Wings since it has not happened in decades. This being said any series with the Bruins ends up being great to watch as a fan. Go Habs Go

No matter how good, big and bad the bruins are, we still have a chance. It's not like our chances are impossible, it will be tough for sure.

Rask isn't stellar vs us, we won what...3 games vs the bruins this year? While we are a less bigger team, in terms of speed, depht and skills, we are pretty even maybe a slight edge to Boston. Loui Eriksson wasn't good during the season but he is playing better in the playoffs. Their depht is good but the same can be said about Bourque. We were the underdogs vs the bolts, we were supposed to lose in 6 but we overplayed and outshoted them due to our speed. Yes, Bishop was injured but no matter who your goalie is, if you get outshout and outplay, it means the other team is better.

37 points in 61 games while playing on mostly the third line is not too shabby. He put up the point while playing 16 minutes a night, on average.

Tampa isn't even in the same solar system as the Bruins. Tampa series shouldn't be used as a measuring stick IMO. We'll never meet a team that weak. Boston IMO is our Stanley Cup. If we beat them, then we'll coast to the Cup round.

There is no such thing as coasting. The Flyers have always given us fits. The Rags are no longer playing Torts' style anymore. Vigneault has even gotten production out of Benoit Pouliot.

Bruins are the best team in the East. If we knock them off, then we can knock off Philly.

We have a matchup advantage against the Bruins that we do not have against Philly. The Bruins usually lose their invincible appearance against us because we can goad them into being undisciplined idiots, burn them with our speed, and/or screw with their goalie to the point of having a meltdown. That doesn't happen as much with the Flyers. Usually, what happens is that the Flyers burn us with their skill and determination.

Just about every hockey analyst and their mothers are saying the Habs need to use their speed to have a chance at winning this series. The Bruins D can be a bit slow and struggle when faced with a fast transition team.

Moen replacing Bourni on the 4th line at practise .

CNN almost had another breaking news about an object being found in the ocean but realized it was just Chara being Chara.
