About

I have lived in Boston my entire life, and been a Boston sports fan the whole time.

I started writing for Bleacher Report in 2007 when the Bruins were making a run at a playoff spot. They made it in, and had a great series with the Canadiens before falling one game short. I purchased Season Tickets a week later and decided to keep covering the Bruins full time.

Follow me on Twitter @MatthewEBaker. I'd love to talk some sports with you.

    Nope.....

    This is not 2004 when Raycroft commited career suicide.... Price has a good record after a loss.

    Personally I think cutting his hair mid series may be a jinx ....you don't mess with a goalie's routine, especially in the playoffs..

    The 2nd goal was a bad mental error for certain the shorthanded shot culd have beaten any starting goalie. That last goal I think Price just lost all focus..But the Habs need to get their PP and offence running...and put the Bruins out of their misery... :)

    Hey Matt,

    Any thoughts about Game Five in Montreal? Do the Bruins have a shot? Would love to see your take on this - if you've got a chance, it'd be great to see an article from ya.

    Cheers!
