(8-9-0) Carolina Hurricanes 2-7 Montreal Canadiens (11-5-1)
Final
Tonight in Montreal, it was a good night for the Habs as they scored tunes of goals as they won this game against the Hurricanes 7-2 the Final. It all started back in the first period, when Plekanec scored on a back hand to beat Ward. That's Plekanec's 6th of the season. Then with 2 minutes to go in the first Plekanec centred the puck right to Cammalleri who would put it home to make it 2-0 on his 4th on the year.
Then in the second with the Canes on the powerplay, Babchuk scored to cut the lead to one. They would go onto tie the game with a goal from former Hab Tom Kostopoulos. But the Habs would get it back with a goal from Brian Gionta on a simple wrist shot that beat Ward to give Montreal a 3-2 lead. Then with 5 minutes to play in the second Lapierre came in on a breakaway and did a spin a Rama and fired it past Ward again to make it 4-2. Then on the powerplay, Pouliot fired it top shelf to make it 5-2.
That was it for Ward as he was replaced by Peters. But it wouldn't stop Montreal.With the score still 5-2, the Hurricanes had a great chance to make it 5-3 but Price dove across the crease and made a great glove save. That's the highlight of the night. Th fans gave him a standing ovation for his 28 save performance. As they added 2 more goals from Kostitsyn and Darche as they went onto win it 7-2 is your final.
But it wasn't all good for Montreal as Markov left the game with a knee injury. But besides that Montreal had everything going there way. They had great goaltending from Price, All 4 lines were scoring and they had great defense. They desverd to win. The Habs nexted game will be Tuesday against the team that knocked them out of the post season the Flyers. It will be on TSN-M and RDS.
