RYDER for the win

Game 3 of the playoffs; number 3 in the win column for Boston Bruins. Although the Boston Bruins looked terrible in the first two periods, they managed to put together a strong third. The highlight of the game would be Michael Ryders wide open net game winning goal. Damn, I'm sure the Hab fans - especially Silent Bob - are biting their nails right now.
Boston have showed that they are a much more talented team overall than the Montreal Canadiens. Sure, the Habs were missing Markov, Schneider, Lang and Tanguay tonight, but let's face it, a healthy Montreal team cannot beat the Bruins this year. Last year? Yes, it was highly possible. This year? Just not possible. Don't get me wrong, the habs have an O.K team that is playoff worthy, but they just don't have everyone playing together. Bunch of individuals if you ask me.
Game 4 should be more intense, if it hasn't been already. Milan Lucic will be dressed so you can expect a shitloads of Hab players falling on their asses. Will George Laraque be dressed? I doubt it, but I won't be surprised if he is.
My prediction for game 4 can go two ways; either the Bruins have a large lead into the third and some fights occur, or the Habs force a game 5. Lucic vs. Laraque? I doubt it, but look for Thornton to fight Laraque should Lucic receive a dirty hit by Big George.
