Well now that the series has gone through 2 games. I thought this would be a good opportunity to look at the biggest shock so far.
For me the biggest shock has been the dominating performance the Montreal Canadians. Since the opening bell the Canadians have been throwing hay makers left and right at the Bruins and all the Bruins can do is turtle and hope they can recover. On the scoreboard, physically, mentally it's an embarrassing beat down and for a series that should go 7, it could very well go 4. So what do the Bruins do to get back into this series? First things first they need to start busting their ass to the rebounds. Most of the Canadians goals so far have just been from rebounds. The defense isn't giving Thomas help. They are letting the Canadians to just walk in with no real pressure on the shooter. At the same time Thomas isn't controlling the puck that well either. There are also times as well where it looks like the Bruins are too busy looking to hit someone, then try to make a play from it. Then on the offensive side, they have ran into a really hot Carry Price. It's amazing to have seen some of the saves he has made. Only suggestion... get traffic in front of the net. I don't see enough pressure on Boston's part. Now that the series is going back to Montreal, the Bruins better take some time to get focused and remember how they play during the regular season. They lose game 3 they might as well start practicing a golf swing and a coaching job could be up for grabs with this performance.
