Bruins @ Canadiens Preview
The Bruins are in a 2-0 hole, and there is really nothing from the first two games that would make you think they have any shot at turning this around. Yes, they have had more shots, but they are not putting pressure on Price, and in general their offense has been laughable.
On top of that they have made silly turnovers that have cost them at least 4 goals in this series, but as much as I would like to make a big deal out of those if you only score 1 goal in two game you're not going to win a whole lot. The Bruins got good news today, as it looks like Chara is going to be able to play after being able to participate in the morning skate. This actually kind of angers me. Don't get me wrong I am pumped that he can play, but I really find it questionable why they couldn't throw an IV on this guy before last game and tough it out. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but with his playoff record it just seemed kind of like a bitch move.
On top of getting Chara back the Bruins can feel good that they are actually a much better road team, so maybe getting out of Boston is just what they needed. Thomas has been solid, but far from great, I think we see one of those "great" games tonight, and Boston squeaks out a win.
Bruins win 2-1 (OT)
Player of the Game: Thomas
