We'll get em on Thursday.
No.
Montreal was leading 3 - 1 at one point in all 3 games.
Twice they lost that headstart, but those goals don't score themselves.

And if the Bruins capitalized on some of their chances they could be 3-0 as well...
Bin la what do you mean?
Not with tonight's game.
The Bruins are only 2 - 1 because the Habs just stopped playing for 5 minutes during the second game. So far, they have been the better team on the ice, leading every single time.
Missed opportunities are the mark of a team that can't capitalize on what it creates.

Good job Habs, but can't help but feel like the Bruins should really lead this series 3-0 if they had better finishers on offense. Guys like Soderberg, Marchand and Lucic are just offensive black holes; they can't put a puck in the net to save their lives...
But gotta say the Habs are playing very consistently so far; sign that they are well-coached. Bruins, if they are dominating 5-on-5, they are taking stupid penalties and letting Habs score on PP; if they are not dominating 5-on-5 like today, they don't take stupid penalties but they let the Habs score on breakaways. Always something missing from the Bruins. They have the best team on paper by a country mile but can't seem to get their act together throughout a match (usually, 3rd period only).

I'm a Habs fan and that's ridiculous. Boston were miles ahead of Montreal in the first two games and they "should've" been up 2-0 going to the Bell Centre.
Missed opportunities are the mark of doing things right.

I was watching a different game I think... apparently both times.
Har har. Also I just found her name a page back from when I started reading. Sara Diamond!

Also, Price has thoroughly outplayed Rask. Not sure what's up with Rask, but definitely not a great display by the likely Vezina winner. Bishop is definitely more deserving of the award than Rask.
If you're "miles ahead" you don't end up behind in all 3 games.
If you can't capitalize on how what you create, then you're lacking the needed heart to win.
On paper the Bruins should be decimating MTL, problem is, on ice, they aren't, they're getting misshandled in every game so far.
Remember that it isn't always the best team that wins, it's the one that doesn't miss the few real chances it gets.
Vezina is based on the regular season. Anyone knew that for the Habs to beat Boston in this series, Price had to at the very least match Rask in net. He's done even better than that.
Must win for Boston in Game 4. Habs better be ready because I think we will see a desperate Boston team in that game.
Maybe miles ahead is a bit of hyperbole, but they were the better team in both of those first two games.
The second paragraph doesn't really mean anything.
The best team doesn't always win, exactly. That's why Montreal is leading the series.
They're leading because, outside of the second game, they didn't squander their opportunities.
At least Boston's lucky, they don't lose as fast as during Football competitions (one or two games and you're out), they can still come back, but they need to get their shit together and show that they want to win, not this terrible display of believing that MTL is so beneath them that they don't have to make efforts.

This thread got weird
You're preaching to the choir. MTL takes advantage of the few chances they get.
They did a good job on keeping BOS to the outside and created quality scoring chances themselves today.

Krug tried so hard there to draw a penality, too bad the high stick was Hamilitons.
Sanjuro told me that Rask doesn't have a problem with Montreal though! He's now 4-11-4 against them, and has been completely outplayed by Price this series and that's why it's 2-1. He simply doesn't play as well against Montreal. This is the first game that Montreal outplayed Boston as a whole, glad to see them hold that lead and destroy that narrative.
Get out.
Totally lost it ! lol

I hope Therrien doesn't change the lineup at all for the next game. I don't want Prust in with the way he played the last games.

Suter out? That ends the Wild.
Subban is the 3rd D in Canadiens history to post 3 straight multi point games in the playoffs. Beast.
Bournival was fantastic tonight, (thanks Colorado!) a huge improvement. The only change I'd like to see is Murray out, but it's not happening.
