Its a tough matchup, the series will be decided by the end of period 1, game 1 i feel.
I dont think you should look at it that way. A series can shift at any moment in any game. Even if the Habs trail by 3 after one period on thursday, it wont mean anything.
I don't think that it's that important for the Habs to win the first game of the series. It is more important to win the last one
Others believers CKAC: Gabriel Grégoire, Jeremy Rainville and everyone's favourite JC Lajoie.
Among the non believers: Pat Burns ( ), Jacques Demers and Michel Langevin (he's still mourning after his Sens and was a total a..h..e this morning with both Grégoire and the callers.

Just too bad, he's among the greatest hockey mind in the medias.
He's actualy the only one i respect (with Morisette) in the bunch.
the exact opposite of your post would be my opinion. he just HAD to be different from all the others who said boston would win in 5. usually its not cool to chose the habs opposition ... but this time around its the opposite ... you're cool if you pick the habs over the bruins ... I love it.

If anything your comment summarizes exactly what the past 3 series have been like.
We need all the positive energy we can get. Enough of this regular season, time for the ghosts to come back and plant the first one in the new building.
BTW, as awesome as Mason and Nash are...I think the CLB in 7 predics are cases of "i told you so's" if in fact a miracle occurs there (which won't happen).
Maybe he should reveal his prediction to the next player he interviews, OR if they know in advance I hope they ask him about it (in french would be priceless if it were Saku).

If you are referring to my last sentance, thats not what i meant. I meant we will see how badly the Habs want it after the first period. Its not about winning or losing. Its about being hungry. The habs showed that in the last game vs the bruins. But they have also showed the complete opposite in other important games.....which habs will show up will be the deciding factor.
