also "Coach Michel Therrien said forwards Brandon Prust and Ryan White would both sit out Game 5 with upper body injuries."
"goalie Carey Price is considered day-to-day with a lower body injury. Price appeared to be hurt late in the third period on Tuesday and was replaced with Peter Budaj for the overtime period."
NOT looking good for the Habs esp losing Prust for a "make or break" game

I thought the Habs played a very good style of hockey over the course of the regular season. Then they seemed to coast into the playoffs and then got caught up in the Senators dispicable style of play. Ottawa just seems destined to move on, although I argue they're not the better team. But they took Montreal out of their normal game and it paid dividends. Advantage McLean.

Habs still not even close to having the players who can play the style of hockey to be successful in the playoffs....Way to many smallish players that hate a hard hitting game....I'm still pissed the Leafs aren't playing these guys because the same thing would be happening.
You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

Leafs wouldn't have beaten the Habs in the first round. Don't have enough skill. You see what I did there? I made a dumb generalization to counter your dumb generalization about the Habs. Clearly you don't follow Montreal - and haven't for a year or two. Montreal has added grit and some size, this isn't the team that got steamrolled due to being too small. The problem is - the larger players on the Habs for the most part got injured at the wrong time. Habs have plenty of bigger guys who are willing to mix it up (Prust, Pax, Halpern, White, Eller, Moen etc). Losing a lot of talent, having a goalie who gives up soft goals, that is what is killing the Habs. And yes, Montreal would have beaten Toronto in the first round.

There hasn't been a single thing go Montreal's way in the entire series todate---not one! Conversely everything that's occurred to benefit either team one way or the other, has all gone in Ottawa's direction. Interesting tidbit Cherry just discussed on Coaches Corner moments ago, that being the linesman dropped the puck for a faceoff to Price's right when in fact the faceoff should have taken place to Price's left. The result: Canadien player even got tossed and Ottawa scored on the ensuing possession, actually the first goal, the one that was clearly kicked in to the Habs net. Normally when a coach pulls a 'bush-league' tactic like the Ottawa 'walrus' pulled with seventeen seconds left on the clock in game three, it comes back to haunt him in some way, shape or forum. Unfortunately it looks as though this twit will escape this series unscathed but as the saying goes, "it's a long roadwith no bend" and you can be sure his 'bush-league' tactic will come back full circle at some point. Lets hope!!!

The funniest thing about the mindless sheep who just listen to whatever the media says is that the players who have gotten injured this series are all bigger bodies. Emelin is a huge piece they are missing on the backend. Along with Subban and Tinordi they can handle the physicality.
All they need to do is get Desharnais out of there add one more big winger and they are set.
Blaming this series on lack of size shows complete lack of ability to analyze hockey games. Game was was decided between the pipes. Habs weree outshooting Sens 41-19 after two period. Dominated two periods last night until flukey garbage happened. Yeah, lack of size haha...some people

true BUT that home loss was game one of this series in Montreal the Senators won 4-2. I would think that injuries to the Habs Price, Gionta, Prust and Eller is more telling than some "history back"
