Talk about a nail-biter. The Bruins scored 4 goals in the 1st period against Tampa Bay, and end up squeaking by with a 5-4 win. It's almost as if they've bought into the notion that they must collapse in the 3rd period just to be consistent with their recent extended streak of losses!

Whew!

Amazingly enough, that was Boston's third straight win.

Shhhhh, don't jinx it. The players don't know they've been winning.

Boston can win all the games they want as long as it's fewer than Montreal.

As a fan of both Boston and Montreal, I can second that sentiment!

With all due respect, your post agreeing with ila implies favoritism towards Montreal. If you were a truly equal fan of both, you would want them to be in a perpetual tie from which they cannot escape.

Actually it seems like they are always in a perpetual tie. I don't think that there has been a season in quite awhile where they haven't met in the playoffs.
