It’s amazing how quickly one game changes the perception of a series. This was supposed to be a low-scoring series and a battle of the goaltenders. Instead, the game ended 7-2 and Carey Price is done for the series. Dustin Tokarski will likely get the start in net, which is a significant downgrade from Price.
Although the Habs are without Price, they are still a deep and skilled team with solid defensemen. They are built just like the Rangers. Suit wrote a preview of the series, and you should definitely be reading that. Justin also scouted out Carey Price, but that’s relatively useless now (Sorry Justin!).
