The Bruins got their first win in the series last night out, but it wasn't easy and they almost blew it. Still, it was important to get that first win, and I think this is a Bruins team that can wear down the Canadiens with their physical play.
One thing the Bruins are going to have to fix is their power play. They are 0-for-11 with the extra man, and that isn't going to cut. Granted they scored a couple of goals just after a power play ended, but they still don't seem to be getting the chances they need to be successful. One guy that has been a huge let down is Kaberle. The Bruins were supposed to have a much improved power play when he came over in the trade, but they are actually scoring 1/2 as much as they were before the trade. You add that to his soft defense, and it's starting to look like a Jeff Green trade.
I see the Bruins whether the Canadiens early storm tonight, and taking care of business. They got some good news that Kelly will be able to play (broken face), so that is good news. For some reason I see a lot of goals tonight...
Bruins win 5-3
