ESPN (John Buccigross):
Montreal vs. Philadelphia
Montreal seemed to hit its stride late in Game 3 despite the loss. Derian Hatcher’s five-minute major gave the Canadiens the freedom to find their form with no pressure. I expect them to carry that over to Game 4 and give them an excellent chance to win. But, my goodness, does Carey Price’s nonchalance drive me batty. Nothing is less appealing to me in an athlete than that. Robinson Cano of the Yankees, former Thrasher and Star Patrik Stefan, and one of my players on the Babe Ruth baseball team I’m managing this spring, just drive me nuts. Just bear down a little. Martin Biron has been outstanding for the Flyers. He and some lucky posts won Game 3. Biron has to be the MVP of the Flyers in this series for Philly to advance. Montreal has more talent, but the Flyers seem to have more collective will. Will we have an all-Pennsylvania conference finals?
