[puckluck2]

They keep shooting high which isn't working.

Well maybe Chara is getting old at least.

Breaking: 36 year old hockey player not as good at hockey as he was when he was 29 years old!

Rask's head will explode if Boston loses this.

Smith and Ericsson, who are 2 of the players they got in return for Seguin are 2 of the best Bruins tonight.

Regular season, I think there would have been a call.

Playoffs, not very likely.

He's not old, but the way he's playing now, I wonder if they should have kept Seguin and traded Krejci

[AcGold]

power forward has to be the hardest transition past their prime.

[dammage79]

Alright I'm going to take Bounival for MTL and Boychuk for BOS.

[Obsidian]

When did MTL get 33 shots? lol what.. Boston has been in their end since I started watching after the 1st.

Uh, yea. That's basically what I was saying in my post.

[FireGilbert]

Gionta or Lucic with the winner.

I started to go through their roster in my head and they're actually not as old as one might think.

Montreal just makes them look like they're all 35.

[Rhettzky]

Iggy with the OT winner.

That's some seriously tinted glasses there

That said, Montreal tends to do more quick counterattacks. Boston uses the boards more. Doesn't mean Boston has been dominating anything.

That's super hindsighty though. Krejci is typically a big performer in the playoffs for them.

There's some weird combination of things that makes many Boston players look like they're missing something. Montreal is in a good mental space.

Krejci led scoring in the playoffs in 2010 and 2012.
