The Flyers will play in Montreal tonight for the first time since defeating the Canadiens in Game 5 in may to see the Canadiens Cup Run end. The Habs fans for sure won't provide a warm welcome to the Flyers. "It's in the back of your mind that it's still the team that put us out last year and you're going to have a little bit of a grudge, but it's a new year," Montreal goalie Carey Price said after making 29 saves in October's victory in Philadelphia who are 5-6-4 this season. As it stands right now the Canadiens sit in the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference with a impressive 9-3-2 record.
Price has won all four regular-season games he played against the Flyers while having a 1.75 goals-against average, but was 1-3 with a 4.13 GAA in the playoff series.Price got his first shutout of the season against the Senators, he followed that game with a 6-1 lose to the Bruins in Boston."They had more of a fight and they put in the effort, and we didn't," said Price, who has a 3.45 GAA on the road compared to 1.69 at home.
The Flyers are coming of a 5-4 shootout lose to the Penguins in Pittsburgh. They put up a good fight down three goals to tie it but came up short in the Shootout. "The encouraging thing was we were able to come back against a good team," coach John Stevens said. Flyers coach John Stevens wants his team to play tougher. "Late in the (third) period we were doing a lot of good things, and then one mistake against a team that's very opportunistic and it's 4-4," said center Mike Richards, who has a seven-game point streak. "It's a tough way to lose a game in a Shootout."
The Puck Drop for tonight's game will be at 7:08 on CBC Montreal,and RDS.
