Canadiens vs Penguins – Game 5 highlights 2010 playoffs
May 9th
I’m quite sad to say I missed most of this game as I was booked to play a gig. I did get to see parts of the first period and the last 5 minutes of the 3rd period. I was very happy to see Cammalleri and company score at the end…. and quietly hoped for another one.
But from all accounts it seemed to be a pretty hard fought game for the Habs.
Here was Sportsnet’s coverage of the highlights.

This is the last I will post about this. I’m just glad that officiating didn’t blow the game. Although it could have.
I don’t want any team to loose a game because of bad calls or non-calls. As in the Wings vs Sharks series…. there’s been some bad officiating.
It would really be unacceptable to have a game be decided by officiating in the playoffs.
There, I’m done. Here’s the video clip.
Gotta win, Gotta win

It’s game 4 of the eastern conference semi-finals between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Montreal Canadiens tonight at the Bell Center.
The Habs have surprised many but haven’t yet made believers out of all.
Watching game 3 I really thought it could have gone either way. The shot totals were actually a bit low for both team at 25 – 18 Penguins.
The Canadiens had a few great changes, Lapierre hitting the inside of the cross bar, Cammalleri got robbed a couple of times as was Gionta. Marc-Andre Fleury was really the difference in that game against the Habs. Even though he only faced 18 shots there were several quality scoring chances.
It’s weird, although Fleury was great in last years playoffs I’ve never quite thought of him as one of the elite goaltenders in the NHL. I really feel that if the Canadiens can put a guy in front of him and get some shots through, the goals will come. Even if tonight’s game plays out much like game 3 did I think the Canadiens have a good shot at winning game 4.
No one is invincible. Everyone can be beaten.
The Habs have shown so far that they don’t quit and we’ve got some guys who’ve both face adversity and have won it all before.
So tonight, play hard. Just like game 3. Put someone in front of Fleury…. shot the puck towards the net. Habs can win.
Game 4. Gotta win.

Found this over at ESPN’s website and thought I’d share.
My prediction on Twitter was Habs in 7… I stand by that and think they’re gonna pull it out tonight.
