Unfortunately, I think that Ovechkin got into the head of Halak somewhat. He was not particularly sharp in the game(hence him getting pulled). Following online at work, I knew the Habs were in trouble when they gave up that shorthanded goal.
The next game is a must-win for the Habs for obvious reasons. Being down 3-1 to Washington would be an almost insurrmountable hole to climb out of.
Varlamov was great in net for Washington, so I imagine that Boudreau(SP?) will elect to go with him for Game #4(the "hot glove" and all that).

Congrats to Boston for taking Game #3. They played like a team on a mission rather than waiting for the opportunities to pop up for them. They are in an excellent position right now.

LA beat Vancouver 5-3. Luongo was pulled in the second period. Man, he's been hot and cold ever since the Olympics. He needs to get his act together if they want to make it to the next round. The amount of penalties that they took(and the PP goals they gave up) also needs to be curtailed for Game #4.
