Whether it’s Carey Price or Peter Budaj in the Montreal Canadiens’ net in Game 2, Brad Richards told New York Newsday that the New York Rangers anticipate a steeper challenge after Game 1′s 7-2 win. “We’re going to see a whole different team tomorrow night and we’re expecting a big push from them,” Richards said.

Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend’s events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it. It's very en vogue these days to think Sidney Crosby, the best hockey player in the world, isn't as good as people think he is. Mark Spector thinks Toews has “ surged...

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will miss the remainder of the team's National Hockey League semi-final playoff series against the New York Rangers, Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said Monday. Price sat out the third period of Saturday's 7-2 New York victory in game one of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference final at Montreal after yielding four goals, but it was unknown if injury or poor...
New York Rangers coaches and players joined star forward Martin St. Louis at his mother's funeral outside Montreal on Sunday. Former Tampa Bay Lightning teammate Steven Stamkos and Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur also attended. ''It was a very personal matter for Marty,'' Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh said. It's great to have someone like that on our squad.'' His mother, France St. Louis, died suddenly...
- The Montreal Canadiens are pondering the notion of going without star goalie Carey Price in the NHL's Eastern Conference final. Coach Michel Therrien admitted Sunday he's as anxious as the team's nervous fans to find out how Price will respond to therapy after he was plowed into, skates-first, by New York's Chris Kreider in the Rangers' 7-2 romp in the opener of the best-of-seven series on Saturday....
Montreal goaltender Carey Price's status for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final is still unclear. Price briefly tested his right knee Sunday before the Canadiens' optional practice. Coach Michel Therrien said the team will know more Monday before they host the New York Rangers trailing 1-0 in the series. Price spent about five minutes on the ice with goaltending coach Stephane Waite, mostly moving...
The Montreal Canadiens can rest easy. They won't be disrespected by their next playoff opponent, If anything, the New York Rangers are giving them too much respect heading into Saturday's opener of the Eastern Conference finals. The Canadiens come in following a bitter matchup with the Boston Bruins that concluded with harsh words in the series-ending handshake line. Bruins forward Milan Lucic reportedly...

By Mark Lamport-Stokes (Reuters) - For the second year in a row, the Chicago Blackhawks will take on the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference finals, a matchup pitting one of the NHL's most consistent teams against the 'Kings of the Comeback'. The Blackhawks have hoisted the Stanley Cup twice in the last four years (2010, 2013) and are bidding to become the league's first back-to-back champions...
There haven’t been many players more maligned for their lack of goals in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs than Rick Nash of the New York Rangers. If it weren’t for Sidney Crosby’s inexplicable one goal performance for the Penguins, Nash’s goose egg entering Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final might qualify as the postseason’s most underwhelming performance by a star goal-scorer. But seeing as how pretty...
The Montreal Canadiens have led a charmed existence since the postseason began. That's not to say that haven't been good, because they certainly have, but they've also been fortunate in a lot of ways. Every single break went their way versus the Tampa Bay Lightning, which is just about the only way one team sweeps another in today's NHL, what with all that parity. And in round 2, while they beat Boston...
(The Sports Xchange) - With goaltender Henrik Lundqvist in brilliant form, the New York Rangers blew past the Canadiens 7-2 in Game One of the Eastern Conference finals at Bell Centre in Montreal on Saturday. Goals 51 seconds apart late in the second period by winger Chris Kreider and center Brad Richards helped turn a 2-1 Rangers lead into a convincing victory in a building that went from very loud...
The Canadiens might have lost more than just the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals to the New York Rangers. Montreal goalie Carey Price was pulled from the blowout after two periods, and perhaps in part because of an injury. With the Rangers leading by two goals, Price was run into early in the second period of New York's 7-2 victory on Saturday. At 3:15 of the second, New York forward...
Martin St. Louis and the New York Rangers had a reason to smile in the midst of a weekend of sadness. St. Louis, who will attend his mother's funeral with his teammates on Sunday, scored the opening goal of the Eastern Conference finals to pace New York's suddenly high-powered offense in a 7-2 rout of the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. New York got goals from six other players, and Henrik Lundqvist...
