Having said that, if I were a habs player I would have woken up this morning pretty confident about the outcome of the series against Ottawa:
- Sens have only beaten Price twice (one is an own goal).
- The 2 goals were scored on the 3 minutes of powerplay.
- Canadiens scored their 4 goals against 5 sens on the ice.
Of course, hockey will be hockey and it's hard to call the outcome of a series based on the first game, but I think the pressure is now clearly on the sens.  |
Ya for sure there is some added pressure on the Sens now because they are down a game. And having one of your best players (one of the best players in the league the past four months) taken out adds pressure too. But there is still quite a bit of pressure on the Habs being the team that is expected to win the series.
As for Price the Sens proved he is beatable two years ago when they lit him up like a christmas tree. They just have to get into his head.
It's playoff hockey. Antyhing can happen.
