6-5 shootout win
Game Preview: Montreal will play their final game the New York Rangers, tonight. So far, Habs didn't get the better side of the match-ups. The season record against them are 0-2-1. Carey Price will get his fourth straight start. He has been on fire, winning all four of them and getting the third star of the week. He will face Henrik Lundqvist.
2nd Intermission: 5-2 after 40 minutes for Rangers. Really bad penalties didn't help us get a comeback.. The defense was horrible in the first period. It didn't do much to stop the Rangers to score. But I LOVE the crowd! They threw some stuff (not sure if that's a good thing though) and cheered when we scored louder than usual. It's amazing how our fourth line is actually playing! Moving the puck non stop, It was beautiful. Ryder has the team's two goal! I am definitively surprised! Jagr has 4 passes already.
3rd Intermission: Montreal has atleast a point! This is nearly a win! Five (!) unaswered goals... I swear if we don't win, I'm going to cry!.... But even though Habs will win, I'll cry anyways.. tears of joy anyways. Thank you Ryder and Kovalev! THANK YOU! (I still hate Ryder though)
Huet-Shanahan: Huet stops a slow veteran!
Lundqvist-Markov: Markov stopped on the back hand....
Huet-Drury: Huet amazing save!!!
Lundqvist-Koivu: SCORESS WITH HIS USUSAL FREAKING MOVE!!!
Huet-Jagr: JAGR MISSSESSS
Final: Well Habs gets a huge comeback... we can't even really describe it with huge... 6-5 Shootout win. The crowd was simply amazing. After our first goal, the crowd went wild! Great puck control led us to an amazing win. Michael Ryder looks like he woke up... hopefully for the rest of the season. Hat trick for him and two goals for Alex Kovalev. Saku Koivu turns out to be the one third of the savior of the game. I absolutely love his faint he did before Lundqvist. I'm still amazed... wow...
