Boston and Montreal could spice things up in game four

Hello Bruins fans,

Here's your day before game four tidbits.

Here's a message from your front office VP and playing legend. Some of your know him as Seabass, the rest of you know him as Cam Neely.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As most of you know, the Habs fans did it again last night, and booed our National Anthem. No, not "nutty" (the Bruins old unofficial anthem for the confused) but the United States of America's anthem. It begs the question, are the Canadien fans dumb? Do they not know that they are booing the United States of America and NOT the Bruins? Apparently not. Here is Bob Gainey's response when asked

* "I feel like there's a confusion there with the fans," Gainey said of pockets of the Bell Centre booing the American national anthem last night. "They feel like booing the anthem is supporting our team in that the anthem represents the Boston team. If they can separate those two things and respect the anthem of the United States of America, they can still participate loudly and in whatever they want to disrupt the Bruins."

Finally, a player status update from today's skate.

*Milan Lucic will be back in the lineup tomorrow night against the Habs, most likely taking Byron Bitz's spot.

*Andrew Ference will miss game four but took a quick spin around the ice for the first time. Ference is hoping to be able to return for Boston's potential second round series.

And Finally,

The Bruins are one game away from eliminating the Canadiens and I think that game four has the potential to be a blood bath. If the Canadiens are behind in the third period, look for them to start taking their final shots at the Bruins. Look for Mike Komisarek to make a run at Milan Lucic and George Laroque to be making a run at everyone. The Bruins will hope it ends this way as that will mean the match has been set.

And now finally to update how things are going in the other playoff rounds...

New York (7) leads 2-1 over Washington (2)
New Jersey (3) tied 2-2 with Carolina (6)
Pittsburgh (4) leads 3-1 over Philadelphia (5)

Anaheim (8) leads 2-0 over San Jose (1)
Detroit (2) leads 3-0 over Columbus (7)
Vancouver (3) leads 3-0 over St Louis (6)
Chicago (4) leads 2-1 over Calgary (5)
