Last night in Carolina, once again Montreal failed to clinch a playoff berth with a 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes. Last night the Hurricanes played well. But in my opinion, it was all Eric Staal as he had 3 goals (10th career hat-trick) and 2 assist in the victory."Any time you can score three goals in a game, it's pretty cool. And it's not easy," Staal said. "You've got to have the right things happen for you. You've got to have the right guys playing with you, making great plays. That was the case tonight." As for the way Montreal played, it was a pathetic site. As the Canadiens were playing almost as bad as the Leafs played the night before against the Rangers in the sense that they were out-shot through out the whole game, the gave up the puck numerous times and they weren't playing with urgency.
"We just didn't play a good team game," Canadiens coach Jacques Martin said. But don't worry if the Flyers (who are 1 point back of Montreal) win tonight in regulation against the Rangers the Habs and Flyers will clinch a playoff spot. If they don't win, Montreal will have to beat Toronto on Saturday. If they lose against Toronto they will have to hope that the Flyers win the next day (against New York).
