Got some info on tonights game that will make the -110 over 6 seem playable.
Boston coach Mike Sullivan said on the radio yesterday morning that Boston played too defensive minded in the first game they played against Montreal. He plans to open up the attack tonight by having more defensman jump in the play because Thornton will not play tonight. Raycroft will start tonight, but according to Sullivan he was really impressed by the play of backup Hanna Toivonen after Raycroft was pulled against Ottawa.
On the other end of the rink:
Most of the drills the Canadiens were put through leading up to Tuesday night?s match-up with the Bruins involved making life difficult for Jose Theodore and Yann Danis. Screens, deflections and capitalizing on rebounds were the order of the day as Claude Julien prescribed his remedy for the Canadiens power-play woes.
?We need to be hungrier around the net in our battles for loose pucks,? said Julien. ?It?s not good enough to be around the net or next to it with only a stick in the crease, we need guys planted in front. It?s nothing new that goalies in our league stop the shots they can see.
This sounds like two coaches and teams that are going to play an up tempo put the puck on the net type of game.
Both teams have not played in two days.
Over 6.........6 units.
