Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers - Betting Odds from Bodog

Tonight, the Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens will square off for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. It should be especially interesting, considering what happened at the end of Game 2.

After the Flyers went up 4-2, Canadiens’ winger Tom Kostopoulos nailed Flyers’ defenseman Kimmo Timonen with a cheap shot to the face. Kostopoulos only got a two-minute roughing call for an act which Philly head coach John Stevens called “cowardly,” but you can bet that Timonen’s teammates will be looking for payback tonight.

In fact, Canadiens’ coach Guy Carbonneau fired back by saying, “That’s one team that shouldn’t talk. They played 82 games and had the most suspensions in the league.” He then went on to rub salt in the wound by saying that Timonen deserved it.

Man, I’d love to see an NFL or NBA coach say that kind of thing. He’d get fined so fast that his head would spin.

Flyers’ goalie Martin Biron has been solid, making 34 saves for the team in the second game of the series.

Forward Mike Knuble may also be close to returning, as he was skating by himself on Sunday. The most likely scenario is that he’ll return for Game 4 on Wednesday.

Canadiens’ goalie Carey Price has struggled so far, allowing seven goals in two games.

The Canadiens will be without defenseman Patrice Brisebois on Monday night, as he did not travel with the team to Philadelphia. Instead, he was scheduled to consult with doctors on Monday regarding a leg injury suffered Saturday morning.
