For the sake of safety in Montreal, the Habs better win tonight.
Police in Montreal are gearing up for the likely chaos that will ensue if the Montreal Canadiens lose to arch-rival Boston Bruins in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal Wednesday night.
Even merchants near the Bell Centre are preparing for a riot, as many are boarding up store fronts and vowing to stay in their businesses all night to protect them.
A win would give the Bruins a 4-0 sweep of the best-of-seven Stanley Cup playoff series.
But the Bruins are a -175 favorite and the Canadiens a +155 underdog in betED.com NHL Playoffs Betting Odds.
On Monday, the Bruins took a 3-0 stranglehold on the series as former Hab Michael Ryder’s second-period goal stood up as the winner in a 4-2 Boston win.
Boston won as -135 road favorites as the game played over the 5.5-goal total set by oddsmakers.
Dennis Wideman had two assists for the Bruins, who outshot the Canadiens 30-25 in the win. Yannick Weber put up a goal and an assist for Montreal, while Chris Higgins also found the back of the net for the Canadiens.
Bettors should note that Boston is 5-0 SU in the past five meetings, but Montreal is 16-5 in the past 17 meetings at home.
