(21-7-5) Philedelphia Flyers 5-3 Montreal Canadiens (18-11-2)
Final
Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens had the good the bad and ugly as they lost 5-3 to the Flyers. It started back in the first, when Jeff Carter scored a late goal off a turnover by Subban. then in the second,James van Riemsdykshot the puck off Gill`s skate to make it 2-0. Late in the period, the Habs would get one back on the powerplay as Subban ripped it home for his second of the season and first NHL goal on home ice. Then the Flyers would get it back in the final frame, with a rap around goal by Zherdev. But the Habs would reaspond to tie it with a goal by Plekanec and then Gionta.
But the Flyers never gave up. Price made 1 save and the reabound was cleared up the middle by Hamirlik and van Riemsdyk would put it in. Then shortly after that Gomez made a bad play, as he played the puck from the netural zone back into his zone right to Subban who lost the puck and Giroux came in and scored. Game over. There was no chance of a come back after that due to a couple of bad plays by Hamirlik who should have cleared it to the side instead of the middle and Gomez who should have dumped it to center instead of playing it into his own zone.
"It was almost like a playoff game, you want to win the game. You want to do what you can to get the two points but it didn't happen for us," said Subban.The Habs next game is tonight against the Bruins.
