So let me get this straight.
You take shots at Price after game 2, but apparently questioning Rask's performance in game 1 is not warranted.
Seems like you as big a homer as Jack Edwards and Tommy Heinsohn.

You thought Rask was solid in Game 1? None of the goals were deflections, and a goalie with his head fully in the game will find a way to see more shots.
The Bruins did not grind the small Habs to the pulp tonight. Perhaps they can play dirtier in game 4 and take a whole bunch of silly penalties again like they did in Game 2. The Canadiens can capitalize on the stupidity while Julien whines to the media.
And they certainly have not started to significantly wear the Canadiens down in this series. If any team has awoken so far its the Habs who have continuously played better since game 1.
You also said Boston depth should make for a great PP. How exactly does third and fourth line depth help the power-play? The power play is all about top six forwards, and really 60% of the ice time is the top line. If anything Boston lacks the top line sniping to be great on the PP. Boston top forwards are great two way players but two way play is not a factor on the power play.
I view this series as a toss-up right now. Before tonight I expected Boston to take this in 5 or 6 , but this was the first game where Boston really did not have the edge on the ice.
I am sure Lucic will attempt to spear him in the nads at some point.
I was only listening to the audio for a part of tonight, but I heard Healy mention that Lucic speared again. Not sure if that was just a case of Healy exaggerating things again like he is prone to do.
you said 'rask was totally useless'. really 'totally useless'. and I said price stood on his head, stole the game for them. hey man you, you have your team I have mine. we,ll see.
Bruins look ... lost. To me they look like it is just another opponent to them, it is hated Montreal for fuck sake.
Series so far is a bit of a disappointment ... there is no passion.
Price is out classing Rask by ... it is not even close ... there is no word or phrase to describe it.
You know what the Bruins are missing ? ... a sniper, a killer finisher ....
they are missing a ....

Phil Kessel !

Really in a 2014 playoffs where teams are coming back from being down 0-3 we are counting a previous Stanley Cup champions out and saying what they need when only down 1-2 ...
I wouldn't call it luck, and be careful what you wish for. See what happened after that bad penalty call against Subban last night? lol
I didn't check, did all the racist Boston fans take to twitter again last night after Subban got a goal and an assist?
Either or ... they traded Kessel, then Seguin ... now they do not have a #1 sniper.
Penguins going home set to eliminate the Rangers. MSG is like a second home to the Pens, I cannot remember the last time Pittsburgh lost there.
Rangers have trouble with the Pens whether it is the Consol Center or MSG. New York is done unless they play the rest of the series at a neutral site.

The Aurora Community Centre is kind of small but I guess if it helped the NYRs win the series they likely would not mind ... the Pens on the other hand. :thumb:
Boston has depth. They don't rely on a single #1 sniper for success. Couple 30 goal scorers, 10 with more than 35 points this past season. 8 with near or greater than 20 goals. Not a single line team. Regardless of player stats, team stats are more important in the long run as is obvious by their record.
I don't think they can play any dirtier than Montreal. Both teams have been chippy.
Price has. The rest, not really. It's been pretty even really.
If you were watching you would know Loui Erikksson and Carl Soderberg play on the second PP unit, and the third line.
Game 3 was all goaltending. The fact the refs put the whistles away clearly favoured the team protecting the lead.
After 4 games the goals are even. Rask was dodgy in game 3, Price struggled in the third in game 2.
The B's may not have a Phil Kessel
They don't have a Tyler Seguin
Tonight they had a Matt Fraser
I do not recall hearing Erikksson's name at all during this series to date. I kind of forgot about him.
Oh well shit happens.After 4 games the goals are even. Rask was dodgy in game 3, Price struggled in the third in game 2.

I was thinking if Montreal will come to regret the game two collapse, then I heard it mentioned on the FAN yesterday.
Series could have been 3-0 Montreal going into last night's game.
as big and intimidating as the bruins are kath, the game in this day and age is much changed. have to play a little smarter, which I think they , since first game. they will still hammer you when given the chance[ ask paciorety] . Campbell, lucic, iginla, Hamilton, thorton, etc, they will all take a piece of you if given the chance. and I totally agree with bigdik, bruins could just as easily been up in this series.
