Bruins in 4.
34th time these two teams will meet in the playoffs. Montreal leads 24-9.
Classic matchup here. No love lost, will be tight and chippy. Rask vs Price. Lots of meat and potatoes in this one.
Bruins in 6.
Bruins in 4.
I'm sticking with my team here and going Habs in 7. They have the season series 3-1, and have been in beast mode since the deadline.
Either way, I think this series will go down to the wire and it's going to end up being Price vs Rask. Whomever is sharper will win the series for the team.
You know, I actually think that there is some love lost between these two.
why not? saying 5 or 6 is the easy way out lol
i think bruins will dominate, size advantage is just too much. i suppose price could steal a game for the habs, but i doubt it. i have a big feeling krejci dominates this series, and it will be a quick one.
one thing is for certain. officiating will be poor in this series, both teams will be complaining about calls, fans will be calling the other team out on embellishing.
Boston in 5.
The problem with my prediction are the ghosts that moved from the Forum to the Bell Center in 2014. It took them a while.
It will an interesting series. Can't wait to listen to Don Cheery comments.
Bruins are simply miles better than any team in the East right now. Bruins in 5.
Heck yeah baby bring on the stupid Bruins! Eff you Boston I effing hate you! Go Habs Go!
Habs in 7 because these kinds of series always go seven! Winner takes the Stanley Cup.

Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
