Caps/Canadiens Game 6

Action is fast and furious already in this game. Lots of pushing and shoving after just about every whistle.

I can hear the Stayin Alive Theme in the background.


Mike Cammalleri scores on the power play to put the Habs up 1-0.


Less than 2 minutes later it's Mike Cammalleri again. To put Montreal up 2-0.

Bell Centre is going nuts.

Montreal with a really huge opportunity here on the power play with about 8 minutes to go in the 1st. That short circuits as Metropolit goes off. 20 seconds of 4-on-4 and then it's the Caps chance to try with the man advantage. Make that a 2-man advantage for the Caps.

No dice for the Caps.

Period ends with Halak seeing a ton of rubber. Caps outshoot the Habs 18-10.

2-0 Canadiens end of 1.

More than halfway through the 2nd period and the score remains 2-0 Montreal. Halak is the difference as the Caps have 30 shots already and nothing to show for it.

2-0 Habs end of 2. 33-13 shots advantage for the Caps. Third period should be a doozy as the Caps definitely have the firepower to not only tie, but overtake the Habs.


Less than 5 minutes into the 3rd and Maxim LaPierre beats Varlamov from a bad angle. 3-0 Habs.

It was only a matter of time. Halak had faced 50+ shots.


Eric Fehr scores with 4:50 to go and gives the Caps some life. 3-1 Habs.


Empty net goal added by Plekanec seals the deal.


Game 7 is going to be crazy in D.C. Roles reversed from last year. Caps were down 3-1 and had to play 7. This year they were up 3-1 and yet again they are going to a 7th and deciding game.
