Tonight they won the last game played in that arena.

The worst-record team in the playoffs has beaten the #1 seed, and the defending Stanley Cup champs. How cool is that?
That was one of the strangest games I have seen in a long time. The Habs first goal was WAY soft by Fleury. The 4th goal by the Habs, the shorty... What was Gonchar doing? He just let Moen skate right past him.

Then the Pens started to play a bit. LOL


THEN, Halak makes a crazy sick save on a gimme by Crosby. (Doc Emmerick talked about 'not being able to make a statue of Halak yet, but they can order the bronze.' LOL)



I guess to sum it up... I cannot believe the Pens were not ready for this game. How does a pro not get juiced for a game 7?


Moving forward... How will the Canadiens respond to playing a team they are actually 'supposed' to be able to beat? LOL


Good times yet ahead.
