   VS. 

1. BOSTON BRUINS VS. 8. MONTREAL CANADIENS

BOS WINS 4-0

Quote of the Week:
"Sometimes I think I'm put on too high a pedestal and get thrown under the bus too much."
-- Carey Price, Canadiens goaltender, on his gesture in response to hometown fan mockery.

RESULTS:

Game 4: BOS 4 MTL 1

BOS: Ryder, M. (17:27 in 1st), Krejci, D. (19:25 in 1st), Kessel, P. (11:58 in 2nd), Ryder, M. (12:43 in 2nd)
MTL: Kostitsyn, A. (00:39 in 1st)

Michael Ryder, with four goals and seven points, tied Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin for the playoff scoring lead.  Ryder, a healthy scratch with the Canadiens last season, helped the Bruins bury his former club in an impressive sweep.  On a related note, B's coach Claude Julien also enjoyed a victory over his former club as well.

Montreal goaltender Carey Price heard numerous boos and derisive cheers from the crowd.  In the second period, he raised his hands to the crowd in response to their catcalls.  GM Bob Gainey supported his young netminder, noting that if Price doesn't stand up for himself when "bullied," who will?  One has to wonder how long Price will last under the intense media and fan spotlight in Montreal.  -- JB

Take a look at who Hockeytalk picked as "potential series turner" in our preview of this series...none other than Michael Ryder!

MTL: Higgins, C. (11:52 in 1st), Weber, Y. (05:16 in 2nd)

Game 2: BOS 5 MTL 1

Game 1: BOS 4 MTL 2

MTL: Higgins, C. (16:19 in 1st), Kovalev, A. (17:37 in 2nd)
BOS: Kessel, P. (13:11 in 1st), Krejci, D. (14:41 in 1st), Chara, Z. (PPG, 11:15 in 3rd), Kessel, P. (EN, 19:46 in 3rd)
Zdeno Chara scored the game winner in the third as Montreal frustrations boiled over, leading to scrums after Phil Kessel's empty-net goal, his second goal of the night, and after the final whistle. Nasty rivalry will continue in game two. -- JB
