CAPITALS TAKE A 3-1 SERIES LEAD GOING BACK HOME


Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens were looking tie up the series. But even though they played really well they still couldn't get it done as they lose by the score of 6-3 and are now down 3 games to 1 in the series."We can go there and upset them," Gill said. "We did it before and we should have done it again. We've got to go and bring our game, and bring it for 60 minutes." In the loss, Brian Gionta(2nd), Mike Cammalleri(2nd) and Dominic Moore(1st) scored for Montreal and Carey Price made 32 saves on 36 shots. As for the Capitals, Ovechkin (2 goals),Knuble(2 goals), Chimera and Backstrom scored for the Caps (2 goals were on the empty net). Varlamov made 35 saves in the win. But the truth is is that the Capitals won this game due to goaltending. If they would have had Theodore in net the Habs would have won.

"
I can't blame our effort, it was excellent," said Montreal coach Jacques Martin. "But if you make mistakes, they've got the skill and talent to capitalize.Ovechkin and Backstrom are elite players and if they get chances, they take advantage." Game 5 will be on Friday at 7:00 pm on TSN and or RDS.
