So much of Boston's trouble with Montreal from the first two games looks to be in many respects self-generated, and that is why I think there IS something to be said about overcoming these psychological and emotional hurdles. If the problem is Rask's mental game, or the team's collective psyche going into these home games with Montreal, then getting a win WILL certainly help to correct the mistakes that have occurred because of these issues.
