Having said that I predict they will take game 4 and go back to Montreal with the series tied 2-2.

Playing well for 60 minutes is what they are not doing and i agree, but you can't overlook the shot totals by both teams, montreal outshot the Flyers 34-14 and that says a lot about how well Biron is playing, he is keeping the Flyers in it. I can't count how many posts the Habs hit in game 2 and 3, it's all a matter of time before logic takes place. I am not saying the Habs played best and they sure can skate and synchronize their passes better but with all that bad playing they are still dominating in many aspects of the games.
Look at how they are easily beating the Flyers D. The Habs are faster but they need better Goaltending right now and i am sure Price will bounce back. Markov is playing hurt as mentioned in many articles on RDS and Habs Inside Out, something that is affecting the play of Komisarek who is also not a 100% after his injury late in the season.
I guess we'll have to wait and see, if they can take game 4 and go back to Montreal tied at 2 it will be interesting to see how this series evolves, but hats down for Biron so far, he is really into the zone!
