CANADIENS GET SHUTOUT AGAINST THE LEAFS


Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens opened up there 100th anniversary week but the Leafs spoiled the party with a 3-0 shutout win. The win came with a price of losing Jonas Gustavsson after the first period due to a heart condition. "Not to make light of it, but my heart was racing too when they got that power play with all the chances," said Wilson said. "He had that same sensation he had in training camp when his heart started to race. It came down on its own in the room, but we wanted to be cautious. Obviously, any situation with your heart could turn out to be serious." In the game the shots were 31-26 for the Maple Leafs."Tonight was the closest we've come to playing a complete game," said Toronto defenceman Mike Komisarek(a former Hab who was booed all night when he touched the puck).

Throught the game the Canadiens had chance after chance to score but the puck never went in."It was a difficult night," Montreal head coach Jacques Martin said. "Sometimes you have a few guys who aren't playing to their potential. But tonight, we had trouble finding one guy who was playing to his potential. Without a doubt, tonight was definitely our worst home game of the season." The Canadiens 100th birthday will be this Friday against the Bruins at home but the night before they will be playing against the Sabers in Buffalo.
