I think the Canadiens played a hard fought game throughout the entire game.The Canadiens were hitting, shooting and having an alright game.The game went all the way to a shootout.But before the overtime ended Peltonen of the Panthers had a breakaway and the puck flew off the inside of the post.Andrei Markov scored the lone goal in the shootout to lift the Canadiens past the Florida Panthers by the score of 6-5.Anderson allowed five goals on 45 shots, but stopped 10 of 11 in the third period.Habs goalie Jaroslav Halak made 30 saves, but allowed three goals on 11 shots in the third."We were a little too relaxed," Markov said. ''We need to play 60 minutes and stay focused on the game, if we don't that's what will happen." In my opinion I think the Canadiens GM Bob Gainy should trade Jaroslav Halak to a team that needs a goalie. Halak can't handle the pressure in Montreal so far in his career.
After 1 period of play the Canadiens were down 2-0, but that would change in a hurry at the start of the Second period.Francis Bouillon, Andrei Kostitsyn, Tom Kostopoulos and Robert Lang scored the 4 unanswered goals in the second as Montreal took a 4-2 lead.Early in the third Florida made it 4-3. A few minutes after that Andrei Kostitsyn scored his second of the game to make it 5-3.The Panthers would eventually force this game to go to a shootout where later Markov would score the game winner.''Our top line is on the shelf, there are five or six guys that would be part of our club who are out, but despite that we're playing really well,'' Carbonneau said. ''Tonight was an off night defensively, but we've played extremely well over the last month while we've had these injuries." The Canadiens next game will be on Wednesday against the Rangers in New York.
