PRICE MAKES 36 SAVES TO LEAD THE HABS TO A VICTORY OVER THE PENGUINS

(1-1-0) Montreal Canadiens 3-2 Pittsburgh Penguins (0-2-0)
                                           Final

Last night in Pittsburgh, It was the rematch of the Eastern Confrence Semi-Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was a disapointing playoffs for the Penguins as Montreal knocked them out in 7 games in there old building (Mellon Arena). The rematch took place right across the street in the Penguins new arena which is called Consol Energy Center. But there new arena didn't stop Montreal from defending there playoff win against the Penguins as the Candiens won this game 3-2 the final. It all started in the first period when Carey Price robed Crosby on his one-timed shot. Price had to go from one side of his net to the other to make the save. Then with just 4 minutes left in the 1st Plekanec centering pass to Mike Cammalleri goes in to make it 1-0. In the second period the Penguins would get it back. Crosby's cross seen pass goes right to Malkin who one times it and it goals in to tie the game.

Then shortly after that Crosby skates in on a 2 on 2 play and Crosby goes for the shot and Carey Price makes the save and he flashes the lether on it to keep the game tied going into the 3rd. In the 3rd, Kris Letang gives the Penguins the lead with 12 minutes to go. The shot beat Carey Price five hole. Just 2 minutes after that the Penguins came in on a 2 on 1 and Crosby's shot was stopped then Malkin on the rebound but it was stopped by Carey Price. Another great save by Price and the Habs are still in this game. Then with 3 minutes to go in the period Josh Gorges of Montreal took a shot from the point and it was tipped in by Cammalleri thats his second of the game ties it at 2-2. Then just 24 seconds later Gomez skates in and takes a shot it was stuck in between the pads of Fleury but Gionta tapped his pads and the Puck went in. Gomez would get credit for the game winning goal that's his first of the season and Montreal wins it 3-2.

"I just kind of threw it on net at the end and good things happen, I guess," Gomez said. "Kind of like Doc Halladay, I just threw the 3-2 changeup in there."What a performance by Price as he stopped 36 of 38 shots as he was a big reason why the Canadiens won."Carey was really good, but you know what? We expect him to be that way," Cammalleri said. "I don't think that was anything out of the ordinary for him -- that's Carey Price. I loved his body language, he made some game-winning saves throughout the game, so well done by him." The Canadiens next game will be on Wednesday against the Lighting in Montreal at 7:30pm E.t on RDS.
