Two results tonight that I was hoping for. Now I hope Montreal goes on to win game 7. Halak was hot tonight. When he is playing well he's unbeatable.

I only hope that Semin and Ovechkin don't get away with their "choppy-choppy" ways on Halak this time(like Ovechkin did in Game #2).

Plus, what the heck was with the three diving calls? The first one was legit, but the next two? It looked like the refs(read: Bettman) tried their damndest to have Washington win with bogus calls. And this is an opinion of a Leaf fan, so no bias here!

I'm glad to see that the Bruins advanced. I was able to watch their games. Unfortunately, no Montreal games have been on the tele. I'm estatic that they've taken this series out to seven games, though. I didn't expect that.

Can't believe there are no posts about the Montreal Win. Was a heck of an effort, a zillion blocked shots. Enjoyed game and outcome.
Congradulations!!!!!!!

I've never had a team to support in the NHL, but after game 2 I felt right at home with the Canadiens. They blew a 3 goal lead in that game, but it still felt right. I wish they had been knocked out of the playoffs because I feel like a Bandwagon idiot even though my support started during a meltdown of historic proportions.

Don't worry about being considered a bandwagon jumper. You like who you like, and if people don't like it too bad for them.

Besides, it's not as if you suddenly became a Penguins fan.

You'd better start learning that annoying "Ole" chant, or Habs fans won't welcome you into their club!

Sweet!!! Montreal won! I was surprised Montreal was able to take the series to seven games. Then I was even more surprised when they won the series, putting away the number one team in the league! I just wish that I could have gotten some of the Montreal games on the tele.

I was at work, otherwise I would have posted about it(and I am certain Ila and GRH will be here shortly).

That was a game that I wanted to watch live. Like somebody said at tsn.ca, you can't spell Ovechkin without CHOKE.

Congratulations to the Habs.
