Montreal has to play their speed game

Montreal had a chance to finish off Boston at home but something happened when they played the game. The Canadians were all over the Bruins in the first period but Boston kept hanging in there. Then in the second period Montreal quit using their speed and Boston started to take the game over.

The game was tied at one in the third period when Carey Price made his first rookie mistake, trying to keep the puck in play in front of his own net, and before you could say Bobby Orr, it was 2-1 Boston. That play seemed to rattle Price and he looked uncomfortable the rest of the way in a 5-1 loss. Now back to Boston for game 6.

In game 5 Price shut the Bruins out in a 1-0 win. Price was the only reason Montreal won the game.

I believe Montreal has more team speed and depth than Boston, but give the Bruins credit, in the last two games they have slowed down the game, plugging up the middle of the ice and forcing the Canadians to play their style of game. Let’s see if Montreal in game 6, is so the series will be over. If not the Hab’s could be in trouble
