Entering the series, Montreal head coach Michel Terrien doesn’t believe that there is a clear-cut favorite in the series so we could be in for a thrilling match up.
“The favorite? That’s a media game,” Therrien said, via ESPN.com. “You go in the New York paper, and they’re the favorite. You go in the Montreal paper, we’re the favorite. I’m not paying too much attention to those things. My only focus is to make sure today that we met with our players, and it’s about tomorrow.
“This is our philosophy. This is not going to change. We understand that we need a really, really good hockey team. There’s a four-point difference between us and them, so they’re a good hockey team.”
