Get ready, it's Round 2 between Jaroslav Halak and the Montreal Canadiens against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.“We’re playing one of the best team’s in the NHL, the defending Stanley Cup champions,”said Canadiens head coach Jacques Martin. “They’re at their best right now and they have a lot of stars in their lineup. It’s a huge challenge for us and we’re going to be ready.” The way Montreal is going to prepare for this series is Kirk Mueller and Jacques Martin are going to talk to the Canadiens players about how to stop Crosby and Malkin. If you look at round 1 between the Habs and Caps, the Habs held Semin( a 40 goal scorer) to no goals and they held Ovechkin to just 5 goals and 5 assist. Which is something that teams have a hard time doing. But the question is can they Contain Crosby and Malkin just like they contained Ovechkin and Semin?
“We knew Washington was going to be as tough as can be and we know that this is a huge uphill battle for us, but at the same time, we’re the type of team that looks forward to that,” explained Moore. “We know it’s a challenge and that’s what we’re looking forward to it.” Game 1 of this series is tomorrow night at 7:00pm e.t on CBC and RDS.
