Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens battled hard but fell short as Fleury made 18 big saves to grab the Penguins a 2-0 win to get a 2-1 series lead."The guys played well in front of me, clearing rebounds and doing the little things to help out," said Fleury after his fourth career playoff shutout. "It felt good." The pens scored the game winning goal (by Malkin) on a powerplay in the 3rd on a questionable holding call on Hal Gill towards the end of the 2nd period. But after the whistle went to end period 2 Crosby slashed Gorges and there was a lot of pushing and shoving which should have lead to a roughing call on Malkin and Crosby. But it didn't and that's why Montreal lost.
But the story in this game was Fleury. Fleury kept the Pens in the game with amazing saves towards the end of the game and that's another factor as to why the Habs lost."They got a power play goal and we didn't," said Montreal coach Jacques Martin. "It was the kind of game where whoever scored first would win." Game 4 of this series will be on Thursday at 7:00pm E.t on TSN, Versus and RDS.
