Montreal vs Boston: BRUINS SWEEP AWAY THE CANADIANS!!!

(#1)Boston Bruins vs. (#8)Montreal Canadiens (Series Bos 4-0)
Game 1: Montreal at Boston- Thursday April 16, 7pm (CBC, RDS) W 4-2
Game 2: Montreal at Boston- Saturday April 18, 8pm (CBC, RDS) W 5-1
Game 3: Boston at Montreal- Monday April 20, 7pm (CBC, Versus, RDS) W 4-2
Game 4: Boston at Montreal- Wednesday April 22, 7pm (CBC, RDS)W 4-1

Well, here we go. This reminds me of the 04 Red Sox. They had to get past the yankees to win the championship. And it is only right that we have to get past the Canadiens if we want to win the cup.

Awesome thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its going to be a hell of a series. These next three days are going to seem everlasting.

That Neely goal you posted is simply amazing.

I'm going to post a few of my favorite

Savards game winner last year in Playoffs (was at the game right behind Carey Price, one of the few Bruins fans in the section....loudest crowd I had ever heard...when Dirty Water came on I almost wanted to cry )

Same here man. Everyone talks game 6, but when Savard started pumping his fists to the crowd after his game winner (I love when they do that) it went down as one of my favorite moments in last seasons playoffs.

Updates on bergeron are not looking good.

Sobotka is still practicing with the team

Also Bergy only skated for about 10 seconds today before returning to the locker room.

Things may change, but he might not be available for the first game

Bergy has the worst luck when it comes to injuries. Poor guy, seems like a great person too.

Very GOOD news.

Bergeron was out there for practice and suited up with the yellow jersey meaning the second line with recchi and kobasew.

The first report must have just been someone witnessing bergy testing out the foot

All signs are pointing to Bergeron playing the first game in the Garden

Very good news.

Recchi has been on a tear, and losing someone like bergeron could turn both him and Kobasew cold.

The second goal was just beautiful passing, like it was a set play.

Tough goal against the B's, ya had a feeling that was coming after that huge hit though. Bergy had an amazing save before that though.

2-1.

I love that big goofy chara smile after a goal. He flashes those yellow teeth and I go crazy.

Bruins up 3-2 in the 3rd.
