HABS BATTLE HARD BUT END WITH A LOSE
















(19-12-2) Montreal Canadiens 2-3 Colorado Avalanche (19-10-4)
                                               Final

Last night in Colorado, the Habs started off there 7 game road trip on a losing note. As the Avalanche beat the Habs 3-2 for there 6th straight win."We found a way," Anderson said. "It doesn't matter if it's 3-2 or 6-5, we're finding ways to win."In the victory, Wilson, Porter and Gagliardi scored  and Anderson made 27 saves. In the Lose the Habs scored 2 powerplay goals, one from Cammalleri and the other from Picard. Carey Price also played well in the lose as he made 25 saves.

It was one of those games for Montreal, as they had chance after chance but they just couldn't score."We've got a good thing going," Avalanche coach Joe Sacco said. "The one thing we've got to guard against is not getting too high. We should be proud of the fact we've won six in a row, but we've got to keep on an even keel. I like the direction the team is going and the way we played tonight."

After the game Colorado goalie made a mistake by slashing a Canadiens forward after the game clock ran out. The NHL will probably look at this and may consider a suspension.
