Okay so last night we ultimately got the right team but the score was WAY OFF.  So what to pick for tonight?  This one is going to be tough.  Jaroslav Halak has become a legend in Montreal over the past few days and it has built up to tonight.  If he can repel the persistent pressure from media, fans, and the Capitals...he may ascend into heaven or maybe achieve sainthood.  Throwing all of that aside, at some point there needs to be a prediction.

Now for tonight's prediction from the home office that is nearly getting blown away by the winds right now, I may this courageous stab.  Well no, not really.  I am totally copping out here.  Here goes nothing and I apologize in advance for the anger this will generate.

• Washington 4  Montreal 1

Why?  I just think at some point in this game, Washington finally figures it out on the man advantage.  This thing cannot go 3.3% throughout the playoffs.  If it ends tonight, the reality is that everything Bruce Boudreau does should be persecuted along the lines of what the New Jersey Devils do in preparing for the playoffs.  I am just saying.

Now it is time for sportsbook.com to give us some odds and more.
