                Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens were ready to play and were destined to force a game 7. Just under 4 minute's in, Gomez did a long dump in on Thomas and he couldn't handle it so Gionta scored. But wait a second the whistle went before Gionta scored... It's no goal because the ref on the far side lost site of the puck. Gionta wasn't happy and neither were the fans as they were throwing there towels on the ice. But nothing can change the call. Then just a couple of minutes later, Cammalleri cleared the puck it went off of Mcquids foot when he was trying to get off the ice. So that's a too many men on the ice penalty. Right off the face off Seidenberg slashed Cammalleri. That's another penalty. It was going to be a 5-on-3 for 1:57 seconds.

                On the assuming powerplay, Plekanec played the puck to Subban at the top of the left circle, then he played it cross ice to Cammalleri and he scored to make it 1-0. 0:38 seconds into the second period, Seidenberg scored a rap-around to tie the game. Then just a couple of minutes later with the Habs on another 5-on-3, Subban played the puck to Cammalleri at the top of the circle and he was stopped by Thomas, Gomez was stopped as well and the third shot goes in by Gionta to make it 2-1 Montreal. Then with the Canadiens on another powerplay, Cammalleri played the puck to Subban and he shot was stopped by Thomas with the Blocker.

                 With under 2 minutes to go in the second, Chara came in and was stopped by Price and the rebound went right to Marchand and his empty net shot was blocked by Cammalleri. That's as close as they would get as the Habs force a Game 7 with a 2-1 win."As soon as we got into the room there was zero talk about this game," said Cammalleri. "It was 'Let's get some rest and roll into the next game -- roll it over like its the same game.We'll get as much rest as we can and get our gear on again." In the win, Carey Price made 31 saves and was a key factor of why the Habs made the playoffs and why they won this game. He will hope to play the way he did last night tonight in Game 7 of this series between the Habs and Bruins on CBC and RDS.
