PrintIt doesn't appear if Jacques Martin is planning any roster changes, so expect the same lineup when the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins enter Game Five of their best-of-seven series.
The Habs will be hoping to maintain their road success in the series and not come back to the Bell Centre Tuesday, down 3-2.
Martin spoke to the media today, stating he won't make any final lineup decisions until game time. The Habs coach also noted the parity between both teams through the first four games.

Chris Nilan and Max Pacioretty were doing an autograph signing this afternoon. Wonder what Mark Recchi would think, if he saw this ad?

Definitely the best of the playoffs. Best series of the playoffs too.

poor defensive coverage
Resulted in both goals.
Ice was brutal in the OT, especially noticeable in the Bruins end during the first OT.
Is Cammalleri relying too much on the “one knee” shot? Maybe if he takes it normally he gets a better chance.
Thomas actually looked like a Vezina nominee.
Habs need to win back-toback nights to take this series. Can they do it?
Had a family outing tonight, so watching the game away from my laptop.
That said, barring a post from Robert or Andrew, this will have to double as the post game commentary area.

When you look at the big picture. I thought the line of Eller, Halpren and Darche was maybe their best line..Desharnais was having a great game until he got crunched and didn’t return..The painful lack of depth on the back end was clear when Wish went down and then came back.
All of that…..and they were still just that close…Pretty hard to keep asking Gill and Subban to log the insane amount ice time they are logging..
Keep the head up and go win game 6 and go from there..
Chara is quite efficient, eh?
Desharnais actually had a shift or two in the 5th.
Anyhow, I find that an interesting side-effect of Halpern’s prolonged absence means Martin never had the chance to experiment with Desharnais. Thus it’s only now that we got to see him on Gomez LW, where he obviously is the best fit available.
Game Threads
Hey guys, not too savvy about this site. Can someone direct me to the game thread. Thanks.
By the way, not looking to stir things up, but on Boston radio they are saying that B’s fans are booing Subban because he’s black. I just think that is a terrible case of race baiting and couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s booed because he’s an agitator who is really good, and has been a proven performer against the B’s. For the most part, the same reason Chara gets booed in MTL.
I was asked my the parent site to intro game threads when I took over the site. Robert, the previous manager, did not do them either and for very good reasons.
HockeyInsideOut.com (formerly HabsInsideOut.com) was already established before EOTP officially joined the SBN network, and has a massive game blog following. It’s probably the best one out there in the NHL.
Despite my concern with that to SBN, noting traffic would be minimal, I did post game threads at season’s start until early December and as predicted got little response.
Second fold, unlike amny of the SBN blogs, the majority of the writers on EOTP have families and full-time jobs to attend to through the day/evening. Therefore we can’t always be online to police/update the threads.
Personally I would rather use the time to study the game and come up with a better perspective post game.
I have brought my concerns on the race card in a prior post. I agree with your opinion re: race baiting as Subban’s agitating irritated Pens and Caps fans last season.
Bruins fans are still pissed at PK, as he blew up Marchand earlier this season.
