But if Montreal is able to beat a team that we wouldnt be able to beat then why would Montreal be a better matchup.

At this point in the playoffs all teams are good.

Price scares me. the Bell Centre scares me. Montreal is playing pretty loose.

I don't think you understand the concept of matchups. I suggest you play Ice Hockey for Nintendo a few times and experiment with various combinations of fat/regular/skinny guys.

I'm not sure which of these teams poses a more difficult matchup for the Rangers to be honest. I do know that I'd prefer to not have to watch Lucic taking runs at our guys for a whole series.

Game 3 Wednesday in NY

Agreed. I'd rather watch the Rangers play MTL than see Marchand, Chara, and Lucic again.

By their track record this season, the Bruins. They really don't play too well against bigger teams than them. But then you have Belle Center and the dreaded 5 goal lead.... Hmm..
 
Sather's made good moves this year, but yikes the Klein trade makes me die a little every time. Especially when you see a much more complete defender like Mike Weaver costing only a 5th rounder.

Bring on the Habs.

Yeah, my gut says that the Bruins were very beatable this year. Chara looks lost, and the rest of their D minus Seidenberg is meh. Really strong group of forwards though.

Rangers/Habs is going to be really interesting. It should be high octane, high skill, fast and "pretty" hockey I think. I'm excited.
