(4/3/17) Weber (lower body) is flying back to Montreal to meet with doctors and will miss the team's next two games, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

He is injured, it's just unknown as to how severe it is. Lavoie is a very reliable source. He might be resting the rest of the games just to be sure, but he definitely sustained an injury serious enough to fly back home.

I don't believe a word of it. They had 1st place sewed up and decided to give him a rest.

LOL, ok then. You stick to your "alternative facts".

These teams have hardly played each other in the playoffs despite being in the same conference for the past 38 years. The last time these two teams played was three years ago in the semi-finals (conference finals) and the Rangers won 4-1.

I think it's neat that 5 Canadian based teams will likely be in the playoffs after 0 qualified last year, that being said I hope all but the Flames die a quick, painful death in the first round.

Go Rangers.

Habs in 7 but I want the Rangers to win. Picking Montreal for Price.

[savemedrzaius]

I hope the Canadiens win because I at least have some feeling towards them. The Rangers just play boring hockey and their team is boring. I have no interest in watching them.

Silly nhl. Teams should only cross over if one division has 3 teams and the other has 5. That fits the mandate of promoting divisional rivalries. Hopefully they look at this for next year

[N-E-B]

This is the least interesting series in the playoffs in my mind. Not a fan of either of these teams.

I'll say Habs in 6 but unless things get rough I don't think I'll be watching much, if any, of this series.

A Leafs fan cheering for the Habs? How does that even happen?
