Last night in Montreal, it was another great night for Halak (who made 33 saves), as he kept the Habs in thought the game and especially in period 1 and 2 when they were out-shot 26 to 9 and even though the Habs scored first they were down 2-1 going into the third. It was a much better period for the Canadiens as they controlled the whole period and out-shot Pittsburgh 16-9 which lead to two unanswered goals by Lapierre and Gionta which got Montreal a 3-2 victory." That was a big turning point in the game," said Darche. But this win didn't come easy. As in the first, when Montreal was up 1-0 P.K Subban was tripped (no call on the play) which lead to a Max Talbot breakaway and Talbot scored."I don't know if I was tripped, maybe I lost an edge, but I went for the puck and the next thing I was on my face," said the rookie Subban. "I made a mistake and it cost our team, but the biggest thing is learning."
That wasn't the only call that was missed by the ref as there was several more. For example, the Pens had a powerplay with the score tied and Crosby tripped Hamirlik and the then the Penguins scored to take the lead. " Now look at this play folks. That's a Penalty. But no call," Don Cherry said about Crosby's trip."Then at the end of the period, this is a penalty (said about Gill's slash) but look at what Crosby does. The ref was not going to call it until Crosby said hey look at me he broke my stick.The ref's are killing the game tonight," Cherry added. Don's right they were killing the game but at least the Habs were able to pull through and win and now the series is tied.
Game 5 of this series will be Saturday at 7:00pm E.t but the puck will be dropped at 7:08pm E.t on CBC, RDS and Versus.
