Does he have another incredible performance in him? The hockey world will know when the puck drops shortly after 7 p.m. tonight. I cannot make any promises about blogging this one tonight. Lots of stuff on my plate this evening. If and when I do get to sit down and watch, I will definitely blog from that point. The Pens did ok against a hot goalie in LeClaire but Jaro is playing slightly better than him. I also like Montreal's 'D' a little more than Ottawa's but truth be told, I don't see the Canadiens getting past the Caps and then disposing of the Pens. The defending champs take this one in 6.....or 7.

Caps/Habs Game 7 Neglect
Sorry about missing this one. Had other hockey related stuff to tend to Wednesday evening. We all know the deal though. Halak was the difference maker in the series. Caps had all the pieces in place to make a loooong playoff run. We'll see what kind of changes they make in the offseason. My workload gets a little bit lighter with the field cut in half. Let's get ready to drop the puck on the Conference Semis.

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.
