Montreal - Washington

[mpare]

This 6th game was one of the most exciting games that I've seen for a very long time. I admit to being a long time (since 1962) Habs fan, but this was special. The Capitals' players were bigger and faster, but the Canadiens didn't seem to know that. They played with heart, supported by the spectacular goaltending of Halak. A hell of a game.

[Paulio]

Agreed. Halak stole that one for them. Again. He's pretty good! Not a Hab's fan, but, that guy is sure fun to watch when he gets hot.

[jsttaylor]

That game was freakin awesome! That was the most excited I've been these playoffs other than at the Sens games. Wicked!!

[brucestats]

The game really reminded me of 1986 when Roy came of age. Halak seems to have a growing aura about him. Game 7 could be even better. The Habs have become a team in this series, and Gill has played brilliantly.

[Chambokl]

1 more win Mike... that would be one huge upset. In a game 7, a goalie could steal a game... like tonight. Can the Capitals play better next game... That should be fun!

i see caps winning and wings losing.

I thought Datsyuk was going to score 4 goals and singlehandedly stop 6

[mberube]

That was the most exiting game ever. I’m a huge Habs fan and I think that they will win game 7. The pressure is on the Caps big time. You could feel the stress from the caps yesterday.

BTW, Mike Cammalleri is the best move Bob made during his 6 year stretch. This kid is great. Love to watch him.

GO HABS GO!!!!!!

[mberube]

BTW, if the Wings win tonight and the Habs win tomorrow, 4 of the original 6 teams will advance to the second round. Nice to see.

man, you got no faith in your team. There was no way the Wings were going to lose that one. That's where experience pays off.

Our top guns came to play last night, that's for sure. Killing a 2 minute 5-on-3 was huge. Howard was solid, but he didn't have to be too spectacular, the Wings clobbered Phoenix.

I am much more confident about playing San Jose. Detroit in 6.

[nokids]

I can't believe what i'm seeing. Montreal leading Washington halfway through the game 1-0. Habs defense is blocking all the shots and Halak is doing his Gandalf impersonation. "You Shall Not Pass!"

[Timbuktu]

Agreed, you'd had the thing the Sharks were not impressed with that outcome last night.

I'm seriously considering driving down to Detroit to see on the of the games next round.

[nokids]

game set match Habs.


........

or is it?

.......

yup over.

[Timbuktu]

And that Mike Green is why you didnt make the men's Olympic Team this year.

[Paulio]

Wow.

[sensfan63]

And that Mike Green is why you didnt make the men's Olympic Team this year.

that was on Carlson, #74, the other d-man who loafed back. Didn't even think about taking the second man.

[Paulio]

Now what are the Habs/Pens predictions? As a Penguins fan, I am a tiny bit scared now.

[brucestats]

I think I just watched my habs win the Stanley Cup!!!!!!!!!

[Timbuktu]

Dude has been a dud all series. Guy is Overrated to say the least.

Not even close, man, don't sweat it. The Habs have two or three skilled players. The Pens will put the pucks in the net that the Caps couldn't...bottom line, Montreal got their bacon saved by Halak and nothing short of another Roy-like performance will keep their hopes alive.

I wouldn't bet on something like that happening again, not with a guy that wasn't even the starter for all of the games. There's got to be a reason for that.

[jeffc]

we didn't take Green, nor the 5th, 6th, and 7th leading scorers in the regular season including the Richard trophy winner.

what a game! I can't believe I wanted the Habs to win.

I'm pretty sure you would have bet he wouldn't do it against Washington either
I've been a huge Halak fan for years. He's always done the job whenever called upon. The ONLY reason he has been bypassed in favour of Price is because of pedigree.
Halak is a very good technical goaltender. Not flashy, but solid. Several times over the past few years he has won the No. 1 job and then one bad game and Price is back in the Canadiens net. Everyone has a bad game now and then... you have to stick with a good goalie!
Hopefully after this performance the Habs coaching staff and management will finally see the light

please, bitter a tad bit, it's a team sport last time I checked, and 95% of past stanley cup champs have been accredited with great goaltending so whats your point. So who's number 1 in ottawa next year.

[mpare]

Now that is how you play as a team. Impressive effort.

[dbleber]

I hate the Habs, but WOW! What a series, great hockey.

[Hearzy]

What a nail biter at the end though. I thought they were in trouble with the penalty... I am looking forward to the Pens series.

Halak is nuts... Enough said

Go Habs!

[Chambokl]

I can't believe RDS, with about 3 minutes left in the game they announce that the Habs and Pens will play their first game Friday night... talk about jinx... about 30 seconds later washington scores their first (and only) goal....

But in the end....
