If the Bruins win tonight, then Saturday in Boston is game 7, and then if they win that one again, Monday in Montreal is game 7. Are you picking up what I am putting down? No? Ok, it is officially do or die time. What we thought was the most important game of the year (toward the end of the season) does not even hold a candle to this one. The odds are stacked against the Bruins, thats for sure. Let's take a peek at those shall we?
1. The Bruins are down 3 games to 1 and are facing elimination against the 1st-seeded Canadiens.
2. The game is in Montreal in front of one of the most hostile crowds known to man.
3. The referees wouldn't dare call a penalty in front of the said hostile crowd for fear of being tar and feathered in the rafters of the Bell Center.
4. Carey Price has solved the anemic Boston offense thus far giving up 5 goals for a 1.20 GAA in
the first 4 games.
5. Even NESN doesn't think the Bruins can do it as we have to watch this game on the NESN Plus channels.
6. The Bruins were not expected to do anything in this series from the start.
7. Even at the beginning of the season the Bruins had zero support aside from the Bruin faithful.
So, why should the Bruins be given a chance? Because you never corner an angered, and hungry dog, or bear in this case. This team has what it takes. If they just screen Price, put pucks on net, and get those ugly goals they will bring the series back to Boston for Game 7b.
Go B's!
