Habs look to get back on track in game 4.

3 games are in the books in this Eastern conference quarterfinal match-up between the Bruins and Habs and tonight's game is a massive one. The Habs came flying out of the gate in game 1, survived with a win in game 2, and fell short in game 3. With the momentum slowly shifting to the Bruins side it will be interesting to see how the Canadiens respond in this pivotal game 4. Look for the Bruins to dress the same lineup they did in game 3, though the same may not be true for the Canadiens. Coach Carbo isn't revealing anything but don't be suprised if you see O'Byrne, Bouillon or maybe even Gregory Stewart out there tonight. My guess is that one of those guys will crack the lineup tonight and it will most likely be O'Byrne replacing Brisebois on the blue line. To his credit the breezer has been playing fairly well thus far but in this most physical of series' I think it would be a good move to get the big bodied O'Byrne in there.

What to look for tonight.

Look for the Canadiens big guns to step it up a notch. To this point in the series our best players haven't been our best players and everyone knows it. I think the top line of Kovy, Pleks and Kostitsyn are going to assert themselves offensively and have a big night.

Look for the fourth line to continue to rip it up. Throughout this series Kostopoulos, Smolinski and Begin have been on fire in every facet of the game and I don't think that will change. On paper they may look like a bunch of scrubs but on the ice they are a serious playoff line!

Look for the Habs deadly power play to get going. It's no secret that the PP has been lousy this series but I think that they're going to change up the strategy a little and get it going. The Bruins have been doing a great job of clogging up the middle and blocking our usual passing lanes, but I have enough faith in our coaching staff to believe that we're going to try some new things and put some pucks in the net.

What we need to do to win.

We need our small players to play big.

We need our stars to be our stars.

We need to match the physical play of the Bruins.

We need to get the first goal.

We need to score a power-play goal.

GO HABS GO!!!
