Can Boston Keep Lead Over Montreal

While it may not exactly as insane as the crazy Western Conference race where 7 teams are separated by 6 points, the Eastern Conference has it’s own race going on. In one of the hottest races, the Boston Bruins lead the Montreal Canadians by only one point in the Northeast Division. The question is, though, can the Bruins keep the lead up through the final couple of weeks of the season. When you check out a hockey merchandise, http://www.hockeyshot.com/ you notice that the teams are two of the most popular in the league and as parts of the Original Six, it is always a good thing when they are in the playoffs.

So can the Canadians overtake the Bruins? Well, it’s not going to be easy since the Bruins have two games in hand over the Canadians, which means that for all intents and purposes, the Bruins could be as many as five points over the Canadians. Boston also has more home games then the Canadians, though they both have as the same number of games against quality teams. With that said, the Canadians have five of their last six games against teams outside of the playoffs, so if the Bruins begin to struggle then watch out.
