Last night in Philadelphia, the Montreal Canadiens dominated the game but once again Leighton gave Philly a 3-0 shutout win and more importantly a 2-0 series lead going back to Montreal."We've got to do something," said Canadiens centre Scott Gomez. "We've got to create more in front, get our shots through.The guy (Leighton) is making some key saves, but we've got to find a way -- get an ugly one and go from there." With the shutout the Flyers have scored 13 unanswered goals (in this game Danny Briere,Simon Gagne and Ville Leino scored) and Leighton has not given up a goal in 165:50. But if your a Hab fan don't panic! The Habs have come back down 2-0 in several games in history. Look back to 1993 in round 1 the Habs were down 2-0 to Quebec but ended up wining 4 straight to win the series.
“Whenever a goalie gets back-to-back shutouts, you know he’s doing something right,” shrugged Cammalleri on behalf of he and his snake-bitten dressing room. “We responded well as a group and the chances were there for us, too. That’s the thing with sports, you can play bad some nights and still get a win just like you can play well like we did tonight and lose.” Game 3 will be Thursday night at 7:00pm E.t in Montreal.
