So, game 2 went last night in Beantown between the visiting Montreal Canadiens, and the home team Boston Bruins. This was an important game for the Bruins as they needed to win, and avoid going down 2-0 in the series, heading back to Montreal.
Shortly after taking the pre-game skate, it was announced that the Bruins Captain (also their best defenceman) would not be playing in the game due to dehydration. He was dizzy, and didn't feel well, and ended up being scratched and had to sit out the game.And it didn't take long for the Habs long to take advantage of the hole left by Chara.
Just 43 seconds into the game, Mike Cammalleri, one of the hotter players for the Habs in last years miraculous playoff run, which lead then just a couple games shy of the big dance, put a goal past Tim Thomas. 1-0 Habs.
Then at 2:20 of the same period, Mathieu Darche scored just 6 seconds into the Habs PP, to put his team up 2-0, and with Carey Price playing the way he is, a 2 goal lead is more than enough for him to win it.
The Bruins would finally solve Price later that period, and cut the score to 2-1, but before too long, Yannick Weber, who was inserted into the lineup due to Andrei Kostitsyn's injury, would restore the Habs two goal lead. Weber certainly made the most of this opportunity to play.
The Bruins are going to need to dig deep if they stand any chance in coming back in the series, but this writer seriously doubts that the Bruins are going to be able to win 2 of 3 at the Bell Centre. MTL leads the best of 7 series 2-0.
MTL Stand Up, Annakin Slayd
