HABS FORCE A GAME 7 WITH A 4-3 VICTORY


Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens have once again forced a game 7 with a 4-3 win over Pittsburgh to keep their Stanley Cup Playoff run alive.I don't think it's time to be concerned," said Crosby. "Everything that happened in the first six games means nothing.We'll have to bear down and play our best. It's one game and anything can happen." The Canadiens have made some history last night. As Mike Cammalleri had 2 goals in the win (10th and 11th) which made him the first Canadian player to get more than 10 goals in the playoffs since 1993 when Vicent Damphoose won the Stanley Cup with Montreal.

In the loss, Crosby finally broke his 9 game score-less drought at the Bell Centre when he badded the puck out of mid-air and into the net in the first period. But the only thing that matters is a victory which they didn't get. So who cares if Crosby scored. Anyway, Fleury made 21 saves in the 4-3 loss. As for the Montreal Canadiens, Maxim Lappiere scored a highlight reel goal for the game winning goal in period 3 and the other player who scored for Montreal was Jaroslav Spacek in his first game back from a virus. "I felt better and better through the game," said Spacek. The Habs were the first team to play a playoff series in the Mellon Arena and they won the series and they could be the last if they win in Game 7 on Wednesday.
