Episode Preview
--The Canadiens dominated the Bruins at the Patriots' home in their meeting last Friday, winning the game 5-1. It was never much of a contest, as Montreal jumped out to a commanding 3-0 lead after two periods. The Bruins scored to avoid being the first team to ever get blanked in Winter Classic history, but the Canadiens tallied twice more in the final frame to put it away. Fans will get a closer look at all of the intensity in this week's episode with the players' mic'd up.
--It'll be interesting to get a glimpse at each goalie's reaction this week, as Mike Condon was 20 minutes away from earning the first shutout in Winter Classic history, while Tuukka Rask had a nightmare of a game. Rask stopped just 25 of the 30 shots he faced. Condon was the second star of the game with Brendan Gallagher (goal, assist) and Matt Beleskey (goal) being second and third.
--Max Pacioretty wasn't shy about his hatred for Boston in Episode 1 of this series, and he got to stick it to the Bruins by notching a goal and an assist in the game.
