Last night in Montreal, the Montreal Canadiens clinched a playoff spot with a 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. But their has been a concern about the momentum going into the playoffs since the Montreal Canadiens have lost 3 straight."That's a good question," added Cammalleri. "We haven't been a league-leader all year.If we did a panel of you guys (reporters) now, no one would pick us to win a Stanley Cup, but we know that when we play a good game, we can beat anyone. And you never go in thinking you can't win." In the loss, Brian Gionta, Andrei Markov and Marc-Andrei Bergeron all scored for the Habs and Jaroslav Halak made 24 saves in the overtime loss that got Montreal into the post season.
In my opinion, this was the best game the Canadiens have played this hole season by getting chance after chance. But once again the story in this one was that Montreal couldn't score. You can say that they had 3 goals. But the reality is that they out chanced the Leafs and the Leafs were able to grab the win. The Habs hit a total of 3 post's and 2 cross bars."You get in and you go from there," Gionta (who leads Montreal in scoring with 28 goals) said. "Now we have four or five days off to get ready.I like our chances if we play consistent and play hard." The Canadiens make the playoffs and will finish in either 7th or 8th depending on the result in the Ranagers and Flyers game. Who ever wins that game will make the playoffs.

Go Habs Go
ReplyDeleteMaybe Washington will beat us in 7..honestly don't think that the Habs will pass Washington.
Defending will be the key factor in beating the Mighty Russian.
