I simply cannot see the Habs beating Boston. The Bruins are far too strong in all but one key area and even in that category, I still think Boston has the edge (nets). They're tougher and that will be the difference in the forechecking aspect of this series. Edge in penalty killing; special teams and defense. The only thing Montreal might have going for them is the motivation factor from the Chara hit. Other than that, this series should end in 6 games max, if not 5 games in my opinion.

We are all entitled to our opinion but at least post facts. The Habs special teams are far superior to that of the Bruins.
Habs PP is 7th vs Bruins PK which is 16th
Habs PK is 7th vs Bruins PP which is 21st
The Bruins did lead the league in 5 on 5 goals while the Habs were near the bottom.
