The bad Bruins took their revenge

So my Habs lost in OT, they didn't play like a team that wanted to win. The Bruins played a more physical game than they did the two previous games and my Habs weren't using their speed as much. Some players don't seem to know the playoffs are NOW not later! I remember hearing Jean Perron (he coached the Habs in the '80s) repeating year after year that he doesn't believe any NHL team is gonna win the Stanley Cup with an european captain. That wasn't mean to be taken as a racist remark on his part, he adores skilled european players but he said as much as they love hockey there's a better chance for them to battle harder for the world cup since they represent their native country while the Stanley Cup represents a lot for North American players. Now I'm hoping Kovalev's gonna prove him wrong, that one doesn't have to be an american or a canadian to understand the meaning of what it is to win the Stanley cup. That working for it means a few more weeks of skating, a few more weeks without going back home. It means the millions of dollars they give you is not only for the regular season but so you could take your team to a higher level and give the fans what they want. Afterall the Bell Center was filled with fans all season long, every night the 21 000 people or so that screamed for the team, paying expensive tickets so they could encourage the Habs so yes the fans deserve to see their team make at least another round.
