The thing that concerned me about last night’s game was that Montreal kind of sat around and let Boston take it to us. And they still won. If Montreal (an overconfident Montreal) goes into the next series with a bunch of easy wins they will have a tough time. The need to work and skate like maniacs to win the east. The better ramp up tonight and go for a speed filled 8 - 0 drubbing. Gotta get their game back in gear!
