-105 and I'm dumbfounded. I went to go pound it thinking -130+ and got scared when I saw -105

Desperate team who can't afford to go down 0-2 at home. I'll pass on this.

Montreal is still deeper than the rags outside of tending now, so it wouldn't shock me to see them pull out this series but they're gonna get thumped bad by the west without price.

Goalies can catch on fire man. Especially backups in these desperate roles. They can also flop majorly and make you realize why the Price's in the league get paid so much, lol. And everyone steps up their defensive mindset also. Just never know in hockey.

Over the better bet tonight IMO, GL though

If I had to play a side it'd be NYR with that line.

I followed Lightning closely.. once Bishop was out... the team was so desparate when they were down... completely different playing style... so worried about getting back... offense suffered greatly. MTL was already the worst scoring team in the regular season, entering the playoffs

I'm going to pass on this game but this kid Dustin Tokarski (called up from AHL) could surprise tonight with some strong help from the regulars. He's played in 3 games for Montreal this season and showed well going 2-0 with a 1.84.

Don't want to force a play but if a gun was to my head....it's a must win for Montreal.

You could also look at playing the TT over 2.5 -115.

I agree, the two best teams are battling out in the West and should have no problem with either eastern team, with or without their goalies.

Habs are gonna need to pull a kreider to get back in this series. They were the better team but tending took that game. Rook looked like a small rook. Officiating while not defining the game, tending did that, was terrible however. Really uneven and some just flat out bad calls and missed calls. The 3rd goal penalty was weak.

Price has the ability to steal 1 or 2 games for you in a 7 game series. That is understated when most people are talking about him.

Price is in my top three too. But Quick and Henrik are in my top 2, and they're still in the playoffs, unlikely that Price steals a game with one of these two in net. Montreal's forechecking needs to step it up if they want to beat King Henrik.
