Rask 3-13 lifetime vs Habs: 1-7 lifetime vs Price

Bruins have never beaten Habs in playoffs w Markov in the lineup (02, 04, 08) - did not play due to injury in 09 & 11....

But they have won four of last five times we have met in second round, 88 90-92. We haven't beaten them in 2nd rd since 1989. Ergo we are due.

The long wait will definitely help Markov out. He was stellar in the first round and now can rest up for the second round.

Really? I thought he was just ok, we must of watched a different Markov, he needs to step it up, especially in the offensive end
 
The Habs must play their game and not lose focus on the game plan; I do not want to see the hunch back beat his chest at all this series; Price is going to have to steal more than 1 this series; the PP has to get going; Habs can take the Ruins but it will take 6 or 7.

I don't think Sal would disagree, that is why we have an edge as the Bruins cannot afford to lose to us with their fan base.

I'm not sure it is an edge unless we take a lead in the series. As for Sal, I think he has been hitting the moonshine a bit too much.

Watched on TV though eh? I was there baby. At least for the first two games. Markov was excellent.

Agreed. Habs and Ruins play different styles, completely. Habs have to set the tempo and tire out some of the bigger Bruin players. They won't tire out guys like Krejci or Bergeron but they will effect at least half their team playing a speed game.
 
Probably Thursday. Since both teams are done I expect their series to start first.

@strombone1 just pumped the tires of the Boston Bruins. Said they are the most impressive team he's seen in the playoffs
