Last night in Pittsburgh, Montreal took down the Champions by the score of 5-2 and made Game 7 be the last game in Mellon arena. With the win history has been made. Not only have the Habs gone to the Conference final for the first time since 1993 but they also won the first ever game in the Mellon Arena in 1967 and now they have won the last game in Mellon arena."Who would expect it? Nobody gave us a chance and here we are," Halak said who made 37 saves in the victory. "Right now we are going to the conference final, so we should enjoy it."Brian Gionta scored the first goal of the game just 32 seconds in, then it was Moore giving the Habs a 2 goal lead going into Period 2.
The Habs weren't done yet, as Cammalleri scored a 1 timer like he always does with one knee on the ice. Shortly after that the Penguins had a powerplay, but Moen took control of the puck and scored a short-handed goal (which lead Pittsburgh to change goaltenders).But the Pens didn't give up, as they scored 2 late period Goals from Kunitz and Staal. But early in the third the Habs had a powerplay and it was Gionta scoring to put this game away at a final of 5-2."I don't claim we're this great team, I don't claim we're perfect and I don't claim that everything we do is on purpose," Cammalleri said. "I think we're just finding ways to win."
I think the Habs deserved to win this game, they played well early on and weren't drawn into bad penalties. I could tell right when Montreal got that early goal that they were going to win. Because I looked at the goal and it was a bad one and when Fleury gives up a quick goal he losses confidence. "It's definitely disappointing," Crosby said. "Game 7, anything can happen and, unfortunately, we weren't at our best." Now the Habs will have to wait for the winner of game 7 of the Bruins v.s Flyers series to see who they will play.
