Scott Gomez, Jacques Martin Hoping to Catch Flyers Napping

Either Jacques Martin runs the NHL’s most boring practices or forward Scott Gomez needs a curfew.

Gomez and his Habs teammates were busy preparing for Sunday night’s Eastern Conference Finals opener in Philadelphia, where they will take on the Flyers.

Comment of the day

Some Bruins fans want to see Dennis Wideman out of town. Others, like this NESN.com reader, wouldn’t mind seeing him on the attack.

“Keep this team together??? are you kidding??
There is a core that is worth keeping but there is a whole lot of dead
wood that needs to go. Ryder and Wheeler absolutuely must go. Either
make Wideman a fourth line winger or lose him because his defensive
instincts in his own end are by far the worst on the team. Chara
consistently disappears in the big games, always has and always will.
Trade him now while he still has some value”
