Após uma varredura na primeira rodada, os Canadiens enfrentam os Bruins na segunda rodada, que venceram sua série por 4-1.Essas duas equipes têm uma rivalidade incrível, talvez uma das melhores da NHL.Eles se reuniram 33 vezes na pós-temporada, com os Canadiens levando 24 das primeiras 33 séries.Boston levou 7 dos últimos 11. Boston derrubou Montreal na primeira rodada da temporada 2010-2011, que viu os Bruins vencer a Stanley Cup.Vamos apoiar os Bruins no jogo de abertura desta série.
Boston knows that this series will not be as easy as their first-round one against Detroit, which they won in five games. They also know that the Canadiens will be out to avenge their last playoff loss to Boston. There are so many story lines to enjoy in this series, but the rivalry one is our main focus. Boston is coached by Claude Julien, who coached Montreal. He knows what this rivalry is about and will look to keep his team on an even level in game one at home.
Montreal would love to win this series, but refuses to look past game one. They are taking things one day at a time, especially after sitting around for a week. They swept the Tampa Bay Lightning in dominating fashion to reach the second-round. Now, they have the chance to send the best team in the East to an early off-season. Can they do it? Only time will tell, but we don’t think game one will go in their favor.
Oddsmakers from Sportsbook.ag have the Bruins as home chalk over the Canadiens in this game one matchup on Thursday night. We are going to take Boston at home over Montreal with 15 percent of our bankroll. Our bet will be for the -195 money line as the Bruins take an early 1-0 lead in the series.
