Bruins vs.Habs - Game Three

Notes on the second:

-Nice PK. Then Price gives the game away. I guess he gets some slack, considering what he's done for the team, but that was pretty awful.

-Too bad the timeout is gone. They need it now worse than they did in the first.

-Nobody winning the battles they won in Boston. Even Ryder's beating them on the boards.

-And a too-many-men penalty. Typical of the Habs when they're in panic mode.

-Price is giving up Thomasian rebounds tonight.

-Kostitsyn stripped both Chara and Thomas for his goal. Their denuded carcasses were warmed only by the warm glow of the red light.

-Pleks is getting way too Gomez on the puck, lugging it into the zone by himself.

-The Krejci line is dominating.

-Subban WILLED that puck to stay in on the PP. Too bad nobody else can match his intensity.

-Unless we see a very different Habs team in the third, the Bs are back in this.


Notes on the first:

-Why does it feel like every game in this series is more important and momentous than the one before it?

-Fantastic to see Mr.Beliveau there with the torch. Oh, do the Habs ever know how to do ceremony right?! I expect if they ever get to the Finals, there'll be an entire pantheon of the greats there in support.

-Crappy, jittery PP leads to a great Bs chance and their first lead of the series. Habs are not playing the same game tonight.

-AK's looking great early.

-Habs look like a 33 played at 45 speed.

-When the makeup calls come, these failed PPs are going to hurt.

-Subban hit Lucic like Doomsday.

-Spacek may have made the single dumbest pinch of the year, and Gomez took a stupid penalty. When your vets are stupid, you don't win many games.

-Sigh. Bruins winning more races than the Kenyans and a softie on Price. Habs aren't playing their game.

-I always judge the likelihood of winning a game by who's getting to loose pucks first. Tonight, it's the team in white. I hate it, but it's true.

-Terrible, terrible period. Habs were outchanced, outshot, outworked and outscored. If this doesn't change in the next two periods, this series is going to get scary.
