What's this all about? Montreal has played Boston 3 times so far this year, this being the 4th today and every other time Montreal was the favorite, including the true road game @the Garden. Now they essentially are playing a neutral ice game since Boston doesn't regularly play in an NFL stadium outdoors and now all of a sudden Boston opens at -142 favorite. Add to it Boston is without 2 of their top forwards today Marchand and Krecji. I know Montreal is without Price and has been slumping the past 2 weeks but how do you go from being favored 3 previous times this season against someone to being such a dog under these circumstances? It doesn't add up to me. I was thinking game would open as pick em or even Montreal -115 -120 considering the Boston injuries.

line appears to be dropping back to where you think it should be. -142 was too high. boston pumped to take this however in front of 60,000.
