With Halak's great performance in game 6, the Montreal Canadiens snapped there 6 game home playoff losing streak and more importantly the Habs have come from done 3-1 to tie the series at 3-3."Yeah I've seen a performance like that before. It was Friday night in Washington and I think his name was Halak," smiled Cammalleri. "And he did it again tonight." Not only has Halak played well but he broke the Habs record of 49 saves in a regulation playoff game that was by Ken Dryden in 1971 by getting 53 saves. Halak is the reason why Montreal made the playoffs in the first place and why they are not out of the playoffs yet.
“The win. That’s what I liked best about the game,” stated Halak. “No one even gave us a chance to win tonight, but we stuck to the game plan and we were playing hard and it paid off. It’s a great feeling but we’ve still got one more game ahead of us and now we’ve got to get ready."The Habs have only came back down 3 games to 1 to win a series once in franchise history set back in round 1 of the 2004 playoffs against the Boston Bruins. Can they do it again? We will find out tomorrow.
