Penguins Squashed by Canadiens, Game 7 is On | IXGAMES

An unbelievable playoff run by the Montreal Canadiens has led to a crucial seventh game for two continuous series. Sweet victory Midway through the second period, Michael Cammalleri was able to score his second goal for the game. The Canadiens netted the go-ahead tally through Jaroslav Spacek at 2:30, forcing a Game 7 for the semifinals Eastern Conference, with a victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins at 4-3. Cammalleri said that it’s all about living in the present. He reasons that if players merely join the league and simply sit around doing nothing, defeat is almost always a sure thing. However, Cammalleri states that now, the team is already very solid, and they are having fun during each game. The Game 7 presents another opportunity for the team to enjoy and compete and deliver a great performance at the same time. Winning streak The Canadiens came back to beat Washington during the first round, with 34 shots having been stopped by Halak. This came after the Canadiens fell into a 3-1 series ditch against the Capitals. Now, the Canadiens have the chance to end the reign of the Stanley Cup champions who have had the winning post for five straight playoff series. Max Lapierre concedes that there is a great challenge right in front of them. The team knows what is expected of them as well as from the fans, and this is why getting a good start in Pittsburgh is very important. During the first period Sidney Crosby, Penguins captain, was able to score his first goal in seven games. Crosby gained an assist in 12 games during his 19th point, as Kris Letang scored for two games in a row early in the second round. What the Penguins are saying Pascal Dupuis, Penguins left wing, states that the other team was faced with the threat of elimination and that as a hockey team, they were feeling quite desperate. It also helped that they are in their building and that Cammalleri is playing impressively for the team. As for the Penguins, they all needed to go back home and win. With Game 7 being held at the Mellon Arena, which is the longtime home of the Penguins, this could be the final game for the team. The defending champions, on the other hand, will move into the new Consol Energy Center for the following season, after not having lost any of the playoff series since the 2008 Stanley Cup finals, when they fell to Detroit. After being forced to leave the game on Saturday night, Hal Gill, shutdown defenseman, was unable to play for his team Montreal. Skating on warmups during the pregame session, he was cut on the rear of his left leg by Chris Kunitz’s skate during Game 5, where Canadiens lost to Pittsburgh at 2-1.
