Here we go.
For the Sens, the key to victory is just to keep rolling (like a Stone). If they can stick to what's made them successful for the past couple of months, they have a strong shot of beating the Habs. It's tough to keep that same focus heading into game one of the playoffs, though, especially with the multitude of storylines around the team, and the fact that the roster is so young. If Hammond continues his play, things are looking up. Hammond continues to be calm and cool - I expect no let-down in his game.
For the Habs, they are looking to get back to their early-season form. Price will have to be incredible for them (wouldn't be a surprise), and they sure hope to have Pacioretty back, even if he's not quite 100%. It looks like he's about 50/50 to play tonight.
