If you weren't a believer before, then you certainly are now. In another physical battle of a game with the feisty Bruins, it was the 20 year old phenom Carey Price that stole the show. Price looked unbeatable between the pipes last night while the Canadiens sent the Bruins to the brink of elimination with a gritty 1-0 win. The other hero for the Habs was Patrice Brisebois 'da breezer' who scored the games only goal on a power play in the second period. The Canadiens now take the 3-1 series lead back to the Bell Centre in Montreal as they get ready for game 5 on Thursday night.I was a little worried going into game 4 due to the Habs inability to score goals this series, as well having to keep up with the reckless physical play of the Bruins. I think that this series has been a huge test and now stepping stone for the Canadiens as they learn what playoff hockey is all about. All that being said, it seems to me that the Habs-Bruins series is the most physical one going right now and if we can survive this series look out because I think the Habs can make a serious run. It's my hope that our second round opponent will be a little softer so that our speedsters and danglers can really get it going
Quick Hits:
Carey Price is legit. Make no mistake about it, Carey Price is the main reason why the Habs have a 3-1 series lead against the Bruins. Price has been making it look easy lately, and it is translating into a very confident hockey team playing in front of him. He's been outstanding so far and I wouldn't be surprised if he took the Habs on a magical run to the cup finals. Way to be Carey!
How bout the Hammer! If you want to know what playoff hockey looks like, all you need to do is watch Roman Hamrlik out there. The Hammer logs a ton of ice time, shows no mercy and never makes mistakes. He had another big game last night and it's time Habs fans take notice just how great of a player he really is.
Bob Gainey is a genius. Letting Souray and Rivet go. Signing the Breezer, Kostopoulos and Smolinski. Drafting Price, Kostitsyn(x2), O'Byrne and Plekanec. Trading Huet at the deadline. Should I continue? Bob Gainey is the genius behind this roster and I believe that he really know what he's doing. Hats of to Bob Gainey for the resurgence of the Habs!
Game Hero's: Price, Hamrlik, Brisebois, Komisarek, Begin, Kostopoulos, Gorges.
Game Zero's: Plekanec, Kostitsyn(x2), Kovalev, Latendresse.
GO HABS GO!!!
