[The Darkest Canuck]

Disapointing loss, after getting off to a good start, and Price playing so well for most of the game...can't really blame it on him though, because you can't expect to win too many hockey games scoring only 1 goal...they got away with it in game 4, but you're not gonna go very far like that...

I think it'll be good to get out of Montreal, even though the pressure will still be on, i think they'll be able to focus more on the task at hand in Boston without all the craziness of Montreal distracting them.


And last, but not least, they NEED Koivu back ASAP, they're finally starting to look kind of weak without him. It's painfully obvious on the PP, and just in geneal, They can't seem to sustain pressure, or a high level of play for that long, and they're lacking the intensity and grit that he brings to the table every shift...Begin is somewhat similar, but obviously, he's know where near the player that Saku is...

Higgins, Plezcanek, Markov, and Latendresse all need to step it up too, none of them are playing as well as they did in the regular season.
