THE CANADIENS GET SWEPT TO THE HANDS OF THE BRUINS



Last night in Montreal, The Canadiens scored the first goal and were playing well but they just could not put the puck past Thomas. As the Bruins rallied back with 4 straight goals to win the game 4-1.This szeries win by the Bruins was the first time since 1999 that the Bruins past the first round."When you realize how tough it's been for Bruins fans over the last few years, to come home with a series victory has been too long," said Boston coach Claude Julien, who turns 49 on Thursday. "I think we still owe them more." As for the Habs, they got sweeped for the first time sice 2004."We were always playing from behind or tied no matter how well we played," said Montreal winger Chris Higgins. "It's frustrating.

Remember when patrick Roy raised his arms in 1995 when the habs fans were booing him.Now think back to last night, The Canadiens were down 4-1 so the fans decided to boo Carey Price so Price did exactly what Roy did (raise his arms)."I suppose he could have kept his cool and not made any kind of gesture, but when you're being bullied, if you don't stand up for yourself, who is going to?" said Gainey. "He had two or three breakaways to stop, as well as some open scoring chances, so what's the basis of the jeering?" I do not like what the Fans did. The goals that Price let in was not his fault. Just look at the goal Ryder scored, Roman Hamirlik turned the puck over right in front of the net. In my opinion it's just unexceptionable.
