Last night in Philadelphia, the Flyers had great goaltending and the Habs had average goaltending. As it seemed to me that Leighton (who made 28 saves) was on his game and Halak was off his game (getting pulled after giving up 4 goals on 14 shots). "We have no concern about our goaltending," said Canadiens forward Michael Cammalleri. "Jaro's had pucks go in on him before and come back and played spectacular. Carey's someone else we have confidence in. I don't think he's let in a goal in practice in two weeks. We love our goaltending.I don't know exactly what it is. This team cares. The guys want to do the right things, but we weren't sharp as we need to be on a lot of different levels. But it's Game 1 . We have to regroup and get ready."
It seemed to me that the Canadiens had to much time to rest after Game 7 and it really showed in this game. Just look at the score (Flyers 6-0 Canadiens). In the victory, van Riemsdyk, Coburn,Briere,Gagne,Hartnell and Giroux all scored for the Flyers."You win 6-0, 13-0 or 1-0, it doesn't matter, it's a win," said Giroux. "We have to be ready for the next game." But some good news for Montreal is, whenever Halak gets pulled in the Playoffs he always came back the next game and has just given up 1 goal.
Game 2 will be Tuesday night at 7:00pm E.t on CBC,Versus and RDS.
