Today R.J Umberger talked about the Canadiens v.s Capitals series and he said be prepared for a upset.They play the wrong way," said Umberger. "They want to be moving all the time. They float around in their zone, looking for breakaways and odd-man rushes. A good defensive team is going to beat them (in the playoffs). If you eliminate your turnovers and keep them off the power play, they're going to get frustrated because they're in their zone a lot." To be honest I think R.J's right. If you compare Montreal to Washington you can see that the Caps are overly powered in offense with no goaltending and the Habs have great goaltending and are great at defense. So think about 1 team JUST have offense and the the other team has everything else so think about it. Who will win? I think Montreal will play spoiler and win in 7 games.
Now on to the starting goalies.Expect Jaroslav Halak to start for Montreal in this series."Our goaltenders did the job for us all year," said Martin. "Tonight against the Leafs was maybe not (Halak's) best performance, but they got us into the playoffs." As for the Capitals, they did not announce their starting goalie."Theo hasn't been named our starter yet," Boudreau said Monday. "If I don't deny it then you're saying it's a truism so I wanted to make a point of saying that. They'll (the goalies) will know and you won't (until Thursday). If I tell you now you'll be asking these guys, digging in for the questions, so if they don't know then how can they tell you. But I can tell you one thing he's not a English speaking person."
