- EVERYTHING I really don't have much to complain about after this game. Wow. I knew the Bruins could beat the Canadiens, but didn't think it would be that sound of a beating. This is one of those games where the game itself was even less close than the 7-0 score indicates. Case in point: the Bruins' sixth goal. Brad Marchand essentially skated around the Habs' end untouched, walked right into the slot and ripped a shot on net; Tomas Kaberle, equally untouched, knocked the rebound home. An unbelievable display of "nothingness" from the Canadiens. They and their fans will likely try to downplay this loss, saying it's only one game, etc. but let's be honest: this was the biggest game of the season for them, and they came out and laid an egg. Big time.
- EVERYTHING THE HABS DID Blowouts are going to happen. Blowouts against your biggest rival are going to happen. But blowouts against your biggest rival in the most important game of the year? Those shouldn't happen, folks. The Canadiens have no excuses: the B's didn't bully them. This wasn't a huge hit and fight-filled affair. This was a hockey game. And the Bruins beat the Canadiens badly. BADLY.
- What else needs to be said? This game was perfect, from a B's fan perspective. But what does it mean? The Canadiens did handle the Bruins pretty well this season, but the B's are 2-1 against them in the last three meetings after going 0-2-1 in the first three. If the two teams met in the playoffs, would the series be as one-sided as last night's game? Unlikely. But as much as athletes love to talk about "one game at a time" and having short memories, there's no way the Habs won't end up feeling a bit intimidated by this beatdown.
Attaboy: ALL OF THE BRUINS.
Providence Shuttle: ALL OF THE HABS. ALLONS-Y, TO PROVIDENCE YOU GO!
