A much closer contest so far than one might have expected.

It won't be close by the end. Boston has more size/horsepower to go the distance. Schneider is playing with a separated shoulder? How many more hits can he absorb?

Nah, not pessimism, ... it's just that I took Boston in 5 and, judging from tonight's game, it might go 6.

From Ray Slover at Sporting News today:

Stanley Cup notebook: April 16, 2009

Can we call one period of the first game of a playoff series critical?

That's what the third period became for the Boston Bruins against their old rivals, the Montreal Canadiens.

The Bruins' fast start in Game 1 was gone after 40 minutes, and the game was 2-2. But the Bruins stayed calm, reclaimed territorial advantage and took the lead with Zdeno Chara's power-play goal.

The Bruins' physical play is key to grinding down the Canadiens. And they'll keep pounding away.

By the way, nice scrum at game's end. The NHL doesn't want such "messages" delivered, but it'll have to get bigger pockets to hold all the fine money it will get from dustups like that. …

Give props to Mathieu Schneider for playing through a bum shoulder. With Andrei Markov out of action, Schneider is the key to success for the Habs' power play. Without him, the Canadiens are back to square one and unable to generate plays from the point.

Wondering out loud here, but why not dress seven defensemen? It's hard to argue with Bob Gainey, but the Habs have eight defensemen on their playoff roster. OK, so Ryan O'Byrne and Yannick Weber aren't ready for prime time. But having one of them dress would lessen concerns about Schneider.

Heard Pierre McGuire this morning, and I agree completely with him. Montreal MUST win game 2, or they are cooked. Give Boston serious momentum, and they will roll.
