By Topham(noreply@blogger.com) The parallel to the Canadiens is right there. The fact is the Canadiens need to win 4 games to get to the next round. The fact, given the home ice situation, is that the Habs must win at least once in Boston. Nowhere does it say when this win should occur.

By jonathan staub 8) Montreal Canadiens, 41-30-11 (93 points) History favors the Canadiens. Montreal finished the regular season with a 24-10-7 mark at home, the third fewest regulation losses of any team in the Eastern Conference, and a raucous Montreal crowd could rattle the fragile Boston psyche.

Everyone h...

By Aaron Duplessis Seven games ago, Bob Gainey concocted a remedy for the slumping Montreal Canadiens. This elixir is the Koivu-Kovalev-Tanguay line. This line is great, but it's also the defensive pairing of Schneider and Markov that help back them up.

By Shaun McMahon Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett may be laughing all the way to the bank if he manages to offload the NHL's most-storied franchise for the right price. So if Liverpool stays in Uncle George's back pocket, the situation looks even worse for the Montreal Canadiens.

By Shaun McMahon If only to be a fly on the wall of the seventh floor at the Bell Centre. Quite the turnaround for Gillett, who became the majority owner with 80.1 percent of the club and the Bell Centre in January 2001, for an estimated $275 million (Canadian).

Outplayed in every category by a lineup boasting 5 or 6 experienced NHLers was not what Bob Gainey and the Canadiens had in mind on Thursday. Of those 5 or 6 players, home-towners Yan Danis and Bruno Gervais were exceptional, and Mark Streit was easily the best player on the ice. For whatever r...
