Last night in Pittsburgh, the Penguins won game 5 by the score of 2-1 due to amazing goaltending by Marc-Andre Fleury."He was huge and we need him to be like this in order to win," Penguins defenceman Sergei Gonchar said of Fleury. This was just the second time this series that the Habs have out shot the Penguins and both times they lost. So that's kinda confusing isn't it? I think it is because every single game that Montreal has won in these playoffs they have been out shot. So it seems in this case that Montreal will have to be out-shot to win."They had the traffic all the time in front of me, and we didn't (in front of Fleury)," Halak said. "We made it easy on their goalie."
Late in the game, the Habs were down 2-0 and it looked like they would be shutout for the second time this series but with 30 seconds to go Cammalleri had something to say about that. As Mike Cammalleri scored to give them a chance. Just 4 seconds later Gomez had a shot and it lead to a big save by Fleury. Then Crosby came back down the other way (with 5 second left) trying to snap his 5 game goalless drought but it hit the side of the net. So now Crosby has not scored in 6 games. But at least his team won. "Obviously, everybody still believes," Montreal goalie Jaroslav Halak said. "It's 3-2, and we are still in it. We've been in this situation before just look at round 1."But some bad news for Montreal is Gill left the game after getting hit in the back of the knee with a skate. Gill will be evaluated today.
Game 6 of this series will be on Monday at 7:00pm E.t on CBC, RDS and Versus.
