Game Notes:
- YAHHHH IT'S TIME IT'S TIME
- The pre-series nonsense is exactly what it is every time these teams play each other. "Montreal are big whiny babies who dive and cry!" "The Bruins are big asshole goons who have no actual hockey skill!" Same shit, different day. Once the games get going, hopefully this crap will die down in favor of...the nonsense that happens in the actual games!
- Daniel Paille will be a game time decision, but all signs point to him playing tonight. Look for him to either slot back in on the fourth line, or to usurp Justin Florek's spot with the Swedes. Either way, it'll be good to have another penalty killing forward back in the lineup.

Extra Skater Stats Preview
Remember how awful this looked after game 1 vs. Detroit? Woof.
Desharnais' line is getting zone starts that are softer than puppy poo against weak competition...hopefully that changes this series. Also, gtfo Vanek.
