The Montreal Canadiens have played over their heads in the playoffs and it is beginning to show. In the long term, this team isn't a match for last year's Cup winning Penguins. Montreal scored 8 times in their first two playoffs games for 4 goals per game, but have since scored 18 in their last eight, or just over 2 per game. They are facing a Penguins team that has scored 3+ in six of their nine playoffs games, and also a team that is 5-0 after allowing 2 or less in their last game. The Penguins also boast a 28-8 mark in their last 36 as a playoffs favorite. The Canadiens are now 4-18 in their last 22 conference semi-final games. This one goes to Pittsburgh.
