Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens were playing like Stanley cup contenders with chance after chance and in the end Montreal won 5-3."We're starting to get a sense of what it might have been like earlier if we hadn't had the injuries," said Gomez. "But a lot of teams have had injuries. We put ourselves in the situation we're in, so we can't worry about that." Ever since Montreal came back from the break they have been playing more offensively than defensively (which is there usual style). I think it's because they are in a race for the playoffs and they want to be contenders for the cup."We now how important these games are," said centre Glen Metropolit. "We have to approach it like it's playoff hockey now."
The goals scored by Montreal in this game were by Mathieu Darche with 2 goals (4th and 5th), Scott Gomez (12th), Glen Metropolit (15th) and Benoit Pouliot (16th). Jaroslave Halak (the Molson Cup winner) was also a big part of the victory by making save after save for a total of 28 saves."That's what it takes to win - everyone's chipping in," Gomez said. "We're getting healthy bodies and we're starting to look like the team we should have been all year." The Canadiens next game will be on Thursday against the worst team in the NHL the Edmonton Oilers.
