HABS LOOK TO GRAB A 3-2 SERIES LEAD TONIGHT IN PITTSBURGH


Tonight in Pittsburgh, the Habs are travailing to Pittsburgh for game 5 of the series between the Canadiens and Penguins. The series is tied at 2 games a piece mostly because the Habs have held Crosby to 0 goals in this series."You try to make sure you are doing your part," Crosby said. "I wouldn't change anything. Honestly, I wouldn't change what I am doing out there. All you try to do is try to do the right things and get the results." Lets turn our attention away from Crosby for a moment and on to how the Canadiens came back in the third period of game 4 to get a 3-2 win to tie the series."Third period, wow!" forward Mike Cammalleri said. "The momentum kind of built, and that's where the crowd can help. They were on their toes the whole period and we just fed off it and kept going."

Cammalleri also told the Canadien players in the dressing room: " Let's be honest.We played 2 bad periods and if we want to win this game we will have to step it up." Yes they did step it up. As the Habs were out shot 21 to 9 through 2 periods. But in the third the Habs out shot the Penguins 12-9 which in my opinion lead to the win. The Habs will need to look at what they did in the 3rd period of game 4 and do it again if they are going to win game 5.
